Joubert.—Gen. Pietrus Jacobus Joubert, Vice-President of the Transvaal Republic. Com.-in-Chief of the Boer Army. Born in Cango, Cape Colony, 1831. Defeated Sir George Colley at Laing’s Nek and Majuba Hill in 1881. Suppressed the Swazis in 1895, and captured the Jameson Raiders in 1897. See vol. iv. p. 191. He was of Huguenot descent, which may have accounted for his civilised attitude as statesman and politician, and the wide views which some of his countrymen failed to appreciate. The General was an inveterate smoker and a shrewd thinker. He had been to England several times, and knew better than his compatriots the risk of embroiling himself with a mighty nation. Nevertheless he went into the field as a brave man, determined to meet the inevitable—fighting.
