THE TRANSVAAL ORISIS.
'WARLIKE, PŘEPARATIONS.
(Dates to the 24th August) The Brish War Office is arranging for the despatch to the frontiers of Cape Colony and Natal of 23,000 infantry,, 4,000 cavalry, 2,800 artillery, 1,260 engineers, and 300 mounted police. The military authorities have already accumulated in South Africa a six months' supply of famge for 10,000 horses. General Sir Frederick W. E Forester-Walker, who has been appointed to the command of the British garrison at the Cape sailed on the 18th from Southampton.. His departure from London and from The part of embarkation were made the occasion of patriotic demon; strations by the populace. The Bank of England has dispatched 400,000 sovereigns to the Cape, towards the formation of a military treasury chest, in the event of hostilities. The employes at the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich are working overtime in preparing campequipments, which will be dispatched to South Africa with nut delay, The War Office has forwarded to the Cape several million tins of preserved meat 4,738 tons, belonging to the Union Steamship Company Limited, is about to convey 1,000 troops from Gibraltar to Natal The First Battalion of the Manchester Regiment, num bering one thousand men, sailed on the 23rd from Gibraltar for Cape Town, together with fifty members of the Army Medical Corps,

have been warned to be in readiness. ·
Colonel Robert_Baden-Powell, of the th Dragoon Guards, has curcentrated a consitter able military force at Bulawayo, the capital of Southern Rhodesia, and drills are engaged in daily.
Early in July the steamer Reichstag left Naples with supplies for the Transvaal Govern- ment, consisting of 15,000 Mauser rifles, 500 tons of war material; and 500 mules. The vessel arrived at Delagoa Ray, where the Boers had made arrangements for the consignments to be placed on railway trucks for conveyance to Pretoria. The Portuguese authorities, how- ever, refused to allow the riftes and war material to be landed. On the news reaching Pretoria President Kruger betrayed great vexation. He contended that the stoppage of the landing of the goods is a distinct breach of the treaty existing between Portugal and the Transvaal, Portugal informed Mr. Kruger that to allow the carriage through her territory of arms that are ostensibly intended for use against a friendly Power would be inconsistent with her duty as a neutral State. Mr. Kruger replied to the effect that a modus vivendi between Great Britain and the Transvaal was assured. Portugal afterwards raised the embargo. It has transpired that the Transvaal authorities recently sent up to their supporters in the Kimberley district, at Jagers- fontein, and at Alliwal North, places in Cape Colony, 150 cases of ammunition.
Intelligence has been received from Caps Town to the effect that foco,000 rifle cartridges have been conveyed to the Orange Free State from Port Elizabeth, in Cape Colony. On the there was an outburst of indignation against fact having been made public at Cape Town, the Premier, Mr. W. P. Schreiner, for having permitted the transit of the ammunition through British territory. Mr.. Schreiner, in reply says that the necessary permit for the conveyance of the cartridges was granted on July 14th, and that if he had subsequently refused to allow the consignment to be introduced vis Cape Colony it would have reached the Free Statevio Delagen Bay. The Cape newspapers strongly condemn the conduct of Mr. W. P. Schreiner, They con- trast the conduct of Mr. Schreiner in this matter with the patriotic attitude of Sir Gordon Sprigs (late Premier) with regard to similar consign- ments prior to the Transvaal war in 1881.
Commandant J. F. Joubert, the loading millitary commander in the Transvaal, hes addressed to the Queen a letter which occupies six newspaper columns. He urges Her Majesty not to permit a small weak State, which has repeatedly relinquished its rights and striven to live in peace with the British to be över. thrown owing to the mis-statements of unscru- pulous Uitlanders and Cape politicians.
The exodus from Johannesburg which, since the difficulty between Great Britain and the Transvaal became acute, been considerable, still

large scale. On the 21st, 4,000 residents assembled at the railway station, and expressed their disapproval of those who were leaving by train in a pronounced manner.
A firm in Dirmingham has received orders ta aupply 14,000,000 Mauser rifle cartridges to the Transvaal Government. Genemu Joubert recently declared that the Transvaal aramuni tion factory was unable to make cartridges suitable for the Mauser rifle.
During the last three years the Transvaal has, it is stated, imported v Delagoa Bay, 149,000 rifles, 6,400 revolvers, and 398 tons of - ammunition.
FRESH PROPOSALS..
President Kruger's written reply to the latest despatch by Mr. Chamberlain relative to the franchise reforms demanded on behalf of the Uitlanders has been handed to Mr. Conyngham Greene, the British agent
at Pretoria, President Kruger has offered that, If Britain would relinquish the suzerainty of the Trans vnal, to concede a five years' franchise to the Uitlanders and give them a share in the president's election and increased representa-
tion in the Raad,
Mr. Chamberlain replied that the president's proposal was not admissable.
REPORTS OF TREASON.
The Standard, is responsible for the state ment that treason is widespread among the Boere of Cape Colony and Natal. The same Journal declares that the traitors are being furnished with money and arms from Pretoria The statement recently published by the London Standard, that treason was widespread in Cape Colony and Natal, was on the 23rd brought under the notice of Colonel Hime, the Premier of the last named colony, Colonel Hime assured his interviewer that his Govem ment were endeavouring: to discover the alleged traitors and to secure their fitting. punishment.
