He was a British subject, but espoused the cause of the Boers, and being military man and an. Intimate friend of President Oora Paul, won distinction against his countrymen.

It i 3 said, however, that the- family relations have not been so strained of late. He does not mingle with the English, people at Santa Cruz.
