· REUTER'S TELEGRAMS. BOERS ORDER THE SHOOTING OF COLONIALS AFTER SEPTEMBER 15TH.
LONDON, September 4th. The Boer leaders in Cape Colony have ordered that all Colonials captured in arms, after the 15th September, be shot
GERMANY AND PRINCE
CHUN'S MISSION.
The Boers appear to be bent upon forcing us into a war, not of conquest but of ex- termination. If, they carry out the threat reported by Reuter, and, after the fifteenth- instant shoot all Colonials captured in arms, we do not see that any other alternative will remain but for our own troops to follow suit and take no prisoners. If matters should come to such a pass, we do not fancy that the war will last much longer. The Boers could not afford to lose their men in this way, for they have no reserves to draw upon, numbers. Those who could put the most and it would be simply a question of
men into the field would be bound to win in the end, and there is no doubt that we could keep the game up longer than the A semi-official statement explains that it Boers. We fancy however, that this will would be impossible for Germany, to insist prove to be but an idleboast of KRITZINGER OF some other bloodthirsty and wrong headed upon China begging forgiveness, as by so Boer leader. Were such a threat put into doing it would imply that the Chinese Gov effect it would mean that every man engagedemment had abetted the murder of the Ger had either to light or die, and we have seen man Minister, Baron von Ketteler, that the Boers on several occasions have had no relish for death at the hands of the British, but have either surrendered or fled. If KRITZINGER, or any other leader puts this threat into practice we earnestly trust that they will be the first to suffer by the retaliatory measures that our own troops would thereby be forced into adopting. If people fight like brute beasts they cannot expect to have any consideration whatever shown to them, but must be content to be destroyed like vermin wherever they are met
with.

what can be done. It has already been demonstrated that no 'good comes of the dilly dallying which has gone on for so many years, the obstruction put in the way' of sensible propositions and the delays oc- casioned by too much red tape. Let the Board adopt really strong measures and let it see that those measures are carried out without interferance from anyone, and it may have a chance of doing some good. There must of necessity be some discontent caused and expense must be incurred, but A. S. WATSON & Co, if the prosperity of the Colony is to be con sidered, it is no use to grumble at the ex- penditure of a few thousands of dollars or at inconvenience caused to a section or sections of the community. It is far better that some should' suffer than that all should be ruined by the obstinacy and the pig headedness of the few. We wish Dr. ATKINSON every success in the great task

The Chinese Apology, Looked at.from a commoti sense point of view, an apology from the Emperor of China for the murder of Baron VON KETTELER does not seem to be exactly what was required.

The application was refused, as the regulations of the Japanese Naval Shipbuilding Yards do not allow them to build-vessels except for the Go- vernment fo Japan.
