"We have suffered greatly, and had
to sign a peace which was a great
shock to you and us. 1 hope self-gov
ernment will soon be given to the
Boer people, for they loyally laid
down their arms and took the oath of

A big cheering crowd gather dur
ing the afternoon in the vicinity of
tne Hotel de Hollande. where the
Boers are staying, and the police and
municipal guards had to cordon part

P,ritish cries were raised, but the
cheers were generally for tne Boers,
and mingled with the singing of the
"Marseillaise.” The generals had to
appear several times on tne balcony
and once General Botha held in his
arms a little French girl who had
presented him with a boquet tied
with the Boer colors. This evoked
a great outburst o^-heering.

arc as follows; It. F. Bullatd, residing

Kimball house and will continue for
two days. It, is expected that in the

WjYLLY TO LEAVE THE FIRST
Well Known Colonel Has Resigned as
Commander of That Regiment.
At a meeting of (he officers of the
First Georgia regiment held in Sav
annad Monday night, Colonel T. S.
Wylly. Jr., announced that lie had for
warded to he governor his resignation
of his commission, with the request
that he be placed on file retired list
of officers.
The information was a complete stir"
prise to the officers, wno did not know
tiiat Colonel Wylly had even been
considering such a step. ihe regret
of all was expressed. His action re
sulted from the demands upon his
time by his business.
Col. Wylly lias been in command
o* the regiment for about eighteen
months, having served lor a year as
lieutenant colonel prior to nis election
as colonel. He was formerly a captain
in the Savannah Volunteer Guards
and during the Spanish-American war
lie was a major in Kay's immunes.
It is very probable that Lieutenant
G. Arthur Go, on will be elected to
succeed Col. Wylly. Col Gordon is a
son of Gen. W. W. Gordon. He is
probably the youngest lieutenant col
onel n the country, and a colonel at
2!) lie will probably enjoy the distinct
ion of being the youngest officer o,
tnat rank in the United States.

he said he noticed two sacks til 1
with something lying near tile rear
door of the college. When he walked
