Saturday morning from South Africa left London at half past 9 Sunday morning for Cowes Isle of Wight to see King Edward on board the royal yacht Victoria and Al bert The hour of the departure from London was kept secret conse fluently the streets were deserted when the three generals accompanied by their secretaries but by none of the ladies of their party started for Cowes They were stylishly attired In frock coats and silk hats Upon arriving at Southampton the Boer generals were welcomed on board the commander in yacht Wildfire by Earl Roberts and General Lord Kitchener They immediately visited King Edward on board the Vic toria and Albert and were then taken for a trip around the fleet in the Wild fire They returned to London in the evening accompanied by Earl Roberts' and General Kitchener who took leave of the Boers at Waterloo sta tion In an Interview with a representa tive of the Associated Press General secretary described the visit to his majesty He said that when the Boer generals boarded the royal yacht King Edward came forward and after they had been Introduced shook hands with each of them The Boers were highly pleased with their recep i a a fl ft 1 A a 1 VAvUa Altvl Uiivl X11L miUllUal of a nonpolitical character with King Edward they were introduced to Queen Alexandra and Princess Vic toria Brussels Aug 18 The Boer gen erals Dewet Delarey and Botha are expected to reach here tomorrow for the funeral of General Lucas Meyer Enormous crowds viewed the em balmed body of Lucas Meyer Sunday The remains will be taken to South Africa During the voyage from South Af rica General Dewet did not mix much with his fellow passengers He was engaged most of the time in writing his book on the South African war In common with his colleagues snapshot photographs were constantly being taken of him and he worried with re quests lor ins autugriipu uum ue uau to "protest against the nuisance Gen eral Botha on the contrary was ex tremely genial and indulged in all the sports on shipboard He was constant ly in the smokingroom where he played cards General Delarey be sides playing draughts took keen plea sure in discussions with British army officers on board the steamer It is said that General Botha is greatly an noyed that his home at Vryheid has been annexed to Natal The premier of Natal is reported to have offered General Botha a place in the national ministry which the general has de clined The refusal of Boer generals to witness the review of the fleet at Spitshead and visiting King Edward caused great exultation in the press and undoubtedly upset the plans of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain Mr Chamberlain had appeared extremely anxious that the generals should see no newspaper representatives before their visit to King Edward and he ac cordingly caused instructions to be is sued that no reporters be allowed on board the Wildfire or Nigeria while very unusual restrictions were placed on all reporters The general impres sion is that General Botha and his companions declined the invitation to witness the review and see King Ed ward because it came direct from Mr Chamberlain but on receiving the invitation for Sunday they readily accepted Dread of Poverty Caused Suicide Columbus Aug 18 Mrs Isaac Koseruaum committed suicide Sunday by drinking carbolic acid Before the death of her husbanC two years ago Mrs Rosenbaum lived in

most burdensome exaction of the antiquated Chinese system as It was levied by the officials at various points through the interior without uniformity and often with less regard for commercial ends
