The Kaiser and the Boer Generals

London vid Bombay, 9th October.

The semi-official "Norddeutscher" states that on the 18th of September the Kaiser caused it to be intimated to the Boer Generals that he was prepared to receive them, provided that they refrained from anti-British agitation in Germany.

The Generals agreed to this but on the 6th of October they intimated that they had changed their minds, and that they objected to asking for an audience and desired that the Kaiser should summon them.

The Kaiser thereupon decided not to receive them.—Reuter.

Later.

The newspapers approve the correctness of the decision of the Kaiser in the matter of the Boer Generals.—Reuter.

10th October The Berlin Press is disgusted with the attitude of the Boer Generals, The "Tageblatt" says that in the event of their visit being attended by anti-English demonstrations, the Government may eject the Generals from German territory.—Reuter.
