Boer “Seer” Began Revolt.

The British official report on the South African rebellion is now Issued It traced the trouble back to one Van Rensburg, a notorious "seer,” who an nounced that he saw a vision of seven bulls fighting, and a gray bull victorious. The gray bull Van Rensburg recognized at once as Germany. Van Rensburg is a farmer, who gained a reputation as a prophet in th 6 last war. He made his luckiest hit by prophesying that General Delarey would defeat Lord Methuen, and as the prophecy “came off,” he has ever since been regarded as a man with miraculous powers. His adhesion to the revolt of Kemp and Beyers had a great Influence over the more ignorant Boers.
