PRETORIA, Sept. 28.—A proclamation announcing that burghers who voluntari- ly surrender will not be sent out of the country, but will be detalned in camps at Bloemfontein or Pretoria, was issued to- day. In case of having stock selected rep- resentatives will be allowed to take charge of the cattle. The locality in which the herds will be kept will be designated by the commanding officers of districts. This proclamation gives great satisfac- tion to those anxious to see the war con- cluded, as it is belleved it will give the coup 4e grace to the Boer resistance. It has been repeatedly stated that many burghers would lay down their arms if assured they would not be sent to St. Helena or Ceylon by the British. The Boer forces in the east are in com- plete disorganization. A few diminished and disunited commandos are returning westward with scanty supplies and am- munition.
