There is much sympathy for the Boers…

There is much sympathy for the Boers on mainland Europe. 

In October, President Kruger and members of the Transvaal government leave Portuguese East Africa on the Dutch warship De Gelderland, sent by the Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands.

Paul Kruger's wife, however, is too ill to travel and remains in South Africa, where she will die on July 20, 1901, without seeing her husband again.

President Kruger first goes to Marseille and then on to the Netherlands, where he will stay for a while before moving finally to Clarens, Switzerland, where he will die in exile on July 14, 1904.
