Boers Fall to Cross Railway.

Six Boers escaped from the Bloemfontein concentration camp on Sunday. They were captured on Tuesday by a detachment of the burgher police under Captain Malcolm of the imperial constabulary near Modder river. Lord Kitchener has been at Bloemfontein on a short visit, and returned to Pretoria yesterday. Over a hundred prisoners have arrived at Bloemfontein since Monday. Five unsuccessful attempts have been made to cross the railway line between here and the Orange river in the last three days.
