SIR,
I have the honour to transmit for your information a copy of a despatch from Her Majesty's Acting Agent at Pretoria, enclosing a communication from the Government of the South African Republic, accompanied by sworn declarations, respecting the terms of the surrender of Dr. Jameson's force, a summary of which documents I telegraphed to you on the 12th instant.
At my request, Lieutenant-General Goodenough has perused these sworn declarations, and informs me 'that,' in his opinion, 'Jameson's surrender was unconditional, except that his and his people's lives were to be safe so far as their immediate captors were concerned.'
I have, etc.,
HERCULES ROBINSON,
Governor and High Commissioner.
Enclosed in above letter.
From H. Cloete, Pretoria, to the High Commissioner, Capetown.
Pretoria, March 11th, 1896.
SIR,
I have the honour to enclose for the information of your Excellency a letter this day received from the Government, a summary of which I have already sent your Excellency by telegraph.
I have, etc.,
H. CLOETE.
