THE MIDDELBERG PROPOSAL:
LORDKITCHENER TOCOMMANDANT-GENERALBOTHA:
PRETORIA,
March7, 1901.
YOUR HONOUR,—
With reference to our conversation at Middelburg on the 28th February, I have the honour to
inform you that, in the event of a general and complete cessation of hostilities, and the surrender of all
rifles, ammunition, cannon and other munitions of war in the hands of the burghers, or in Government
depots, or elsewhere, His Majesty’s Government is prepared to adopt the following measures:
His Majesty’s Government will at once grant an amnesty in the Transvaal and Orange River
Colony for all bonâ fide acts of war committed during the recent hostilities. British subjects
belonging to Natal and Cape Colony, while they will not be compelled to return to those Colonies,
will, if they do so, be liable to be dealt with by the laws of those Colonies specially passed to meet
the circumstances arising out of the present war. As you are doubtless aware, the special law in the
Cape Colony has greatly mitigated the ordinary penalties for high treason in the present case.
All prisoners of war, now in St. Helena, Ceylon, or elsewhere, being burghers or colonists,
will, on the completion of the surrender, be brought back to their country as quickly as arrangements
can be made for their transport.
At the earliest practicable date military administration will cease, and will be replaced by civil
administration in the form of Crown Colony Government. There will, therefore, be, in the first
instance, in each of the new Colonies, a Governor and an Executive Council, composed of the
principal officials, with a Legislative Council consisting of a certain number of official members to
whom a nominated unofficial element will be added. But it is the desire of His Majesty’s
Government, as soon as circumstances permit, to introduce a representative element, and ultimately to
concede to the new Colonies the privilege of self-government. Moreover, on the cessation of
hostilities, a High Court will be established in each of the new Colonies to administer the laws of the
land, and this Court will be independent of the Executive.
Church property, public trusts, and orphan funds will be respected.
