I was together with P.A. Cronje, Commandant of the Krugersdorp
District, one of the commanding forces in the fights against Jameson.
On the morning of January 2, a despatch rider from Commandant
Potgieter came up and informed me that Jameson had hoisted the white
flag, and that I must quickly attend a meeting with the other
commandants. When I came up to Jameson I found Cronje and Potgieter
there; and, as I saw that Cronje had been speaking to Jameson, I
asked Cronje 'What is the subject you have been speaking about? I
also wish to know it.' Cronje told me that he had agreed with Jameson
that Jameson would pay the expenses incurred by the State, and that
he (Cronje) would spare the lives of Jameson and his people till
Pretoria was reached.

Thereupon I answered, 'We cannot make any terms here. We have not the
power to do so. Jameson must surrender unconditionally, and we can
only guarantee his life until he is delivered over by us into the
hands of the Commandant-General. Then he will have to submit to the
decision of the Commandant-General and the Government.' When I had
said this, Commandant Potgieter answered, 'I agree with that.'
And Commandant Cronje said, 'So be it, brothers.' Thereupon the
interpreter (Adendorff) was instructed to translate to Jameson
what had been spoken. He did so. Jameson thereupon took off his hat,
bowed, and replied in English that he agreed thereto. Jameson then
ordered Willoughby, who was present from the moment that I arrived,
to command the subordinate officers to disarm the men, and thereupon
the arms were given up.

H.P. MALAN, _Commandant._

Sworn before me on this the 9th day of March, 1896.
