London, 26th Marob At the soculon of the South African inquiry committee today, Dr. Jameson told the story of his movements and sought to justify his actions by pointing out the critical condition of the Uitlanders in the Transvaal prior to the raid. Dr. Jameson sulpated Rhodes from sinn. the responsbility of having ordered the final more of the troops Boross the border, saying he had managed the step on bis ove pocobat. He said: "In 1896 I revisited Johannesburg and found the peoplo dotermined to bring matters to eu issuo, The first proposal was to not stone, and ry troops were to be in readiness on the border in case they were required. Later the leaders
· concluded that the safest way would be to have a sulpient force at Johannesburg to induce President. Krngor to take a plobrecite of the whole population, to deside "who was to be president Thor therefore invited my hely, and it was arranged to take ray force to Johannesburg to maintain order and bring presstira to hear.npon the Transvani while the redress of the grievances was enforced by them. Therefore, I obtained the lettur signed by the leaders, with which the bemmittee is familiar, and it was agreed that simultaneously. with the rising in Johannesburg, at the ond of Docember, I was to start,"
Dr. Jameson, it appears, afterward told Mr. Rhodes of his arrangements, and the latter agreed to them. The leaders at Johannes barg novey intituntad any. Intention of aban- doning their determination to appeal to JLTHY. The statement concluded, "No communication whatever, was received from 376,516.51 Rhodes or from any one at Cape Town 21,220.75 directing or authorising my force to move to, 25147 Johannesburg. I acted ontirely on my own
judgment. Maj. Hesuoy did not bring me a à mesage from "Rhodes," The committee put a for questions to Dr. Jamesón, · Kəpiying to Sir Henry Campbell Braverman, Dr. Jameson "said, “I know I did not do the right thing;
becauso I did not succbod. If I had succeeded”. I know I would bars bean forgiven.”
