With Lord Roberts in the Free State : The Arrest of a Dutch Suspect. 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, May 19th, 1900," showing a Drawing by Sydney P. Hall from a sketch by H. Lea, called "With Lord Roberts in the Free State :  The Arrest of a Dutch Suspect.

The advance of Lord Roberts has been hindered by the pretended submission of burghers, who, after having surrendered and given up some antiquated rifles, take up their Mausers and rejoin the Free State Forces.  Stringent measures have been adopted, and the seizure of horses and prompt arrest of suspects have gone some way to relieve the lines of communication from this constant trouble.  The work of arresting these people is not pleasant, savouring too much of a detective's taskfor it to be popular, but it has to be done.  Vehement declarations of innocence and distressful scenes with the unhappy wives and womenkind of the suspects are not always signs of innocence, and have to be disregarded.

Condition is Very Good.
