Abundance of for age and ammunition is already on the spot, and native regiments in India would afford reliefs at Malta and in Egypt to enable British regiments there to go to the Cape.

A VALUABLE. ZONE.
accustomed to business operations in the City A moment's reflection will convince anyone that an imaginary circle containing Prelorin and Johannesburg as the centre, with a radius extending from Kimberley to Barberton, would embrace within its limits a greater quantity of valuable and realisable assets than exists in any other portion of the globe of a similar size. That circle would also be clicly composed of territory belonging to the South African Republic. it was entirely cut off from all communication with the outside world, a condition of things would cbtain which-apart entirely from all military er sentimental considerations will be easily intelligible to all who are conversant with financial questions, and need not be further emphasised. But looked at merely from the strategic point of view, the value of such isola tion to General Joubert would be immense, and unless prompt measures are taken, we are in a position to state that the first action of Pre- sident Kruger, on making up his mind that war was inevitable, would be to produce this isolation.
NOW THE, CABLES RUN. South Africa has two means of cable com munication with Great Britain. From Cornwall the lines run out to Lisbon, where they radiate east and west. The castern cable is landed at two foreign ports; the western at eleven. Apart from the chances of Flour sympathisers finding an opportunity of tampering with the messages passed through French or Portuguese territory, both these lines hug the coast-line of Africa in waters so shallow that they could easily be grappled and cut. It is not generally recog. nised, as yet, how absurdly easy it really is to tamper with a cable. But the manner in which armed yachts and cruisers from the United States were able last year, off the Cuban littoral, to fish up the cables, and either cut them or use them for their own purposes, must have been something of a revelation in modern strategy even to sceptics of the present year. With a length-east and west of nearly 8000 miles of African coast line to patrol and guard, no British squadron, however swin, could prevent a determined enterprise of this kind. And, therefore, in the event of a second Boer war, we have to contemplate the possibility of fint ing British South Africa teinporarily isolated
from Great Britain..
