LONDON, June 9th The Daily Graphic learns the conclusion has forced itself on the Ministers of the Crown that if the Transvaal persists in its present attitude Great Britain has no alternative but forcible solution of the dificulty. The Pay Chronicle believes that Mr. Chamberlain's reply to the petition of the Uitlanders, now to be presented to the Boer Governinent, will convey unmistakeably that unless concessions are tande 'an ultimatum will follow.

The Universal Gazelle states that General Yuan Shib-kai, whose troops have recently been quartered at Téchou on the Chibli-Shan tuny border, awaiting the development of affairs in Shantung, has been commanded by Imperial edict to return to his cantonments at Heiaochain,
near Tianusin..
A PEKING despatch reports that steps have been taken by the Generalissimo Jung Lu, to raise 10,000 Mongul cavalry in view of the pre- sence of the large number of Russia Cossacks in Manchuria, and that a certain Mongol Prince has offered to raise and arm 5,000 more from his own tribe should China be inyloved in war, in the near future.
A TELEGRAM to the Universal Gazelle Says that the French have landed men from their warships at Kwangchowan and taken possession of all the forts around the bay, as well as seizing the important entrances at Kochow, Leamchow, and Kinchow, and burning the natives houses, This no doubt is in retaliation for the recent attacks upon them by arine Chinese
