Outline of Negotiations Between Kitchener and Botha
The Daily Chronicle reports talks between Lord Kitchener and General Botha outline amnesty limits on rebels in Cape Colony. Britain would compensate Boers with 1 million pounds for property and looted goods, offer rebuilding loans, and allow English or Dutch education. No burgher could own a rifle without a license.
