London, .Sept. 25.--The tone and contents of the manifesto of the Boer generals whith was issued: in the form of an appeal to the civilized world for contribution to assist destitute Poers and help in the education of joer children excite the utmost resentment of the whole British press and the document tends to alienate the symba- thy which has hitherto been felt for the Boer people in many quarters. It is regarded as a manifesto of hostility to Great Britain? and the work not of, Gens. Botha; Dewet and Delarey, but of Dr. Leyds, the European represen- tative of the Boers, and Mi. Reite, former state secretary of the Trans- vaal and a blunder, which the Boers will live to regret. > The statement contained the manifesto that 30,000 houses have been burned is declared to he a gross exaggeration, and complaint is made that, while the document presents the case against Great" Britain in the worst possible light, it dishonestly io- nores the fact that the British 'wov- ernment has promised to advance loans free of interest for two years to enable the Boers to re-settle on their farms. It is pointed out that even if the Boer estimate of 30,000 farms destroyed correct, the 815,000,000 granted under the peace terms will eive each family £500.
