THE PRETENCE OF KRUGER

The successful efforts of the Transvaal Government to obtain ammunition caused the Globe to write in the following strain-
From one illegal step the Transvaal Govern. ment proceeds to another, and a Although its continuous importations of arms and ammunition through Portuguese territory rights with that Power, there can be no question may possibly be in accordance with treaty about the proceeding being a direct violation of the spirit of the 1884 Convention. Nor is Mr. Krüger blind to that fact; it is stated that, as a method of persuading the Portuguese authorities at Lorenzo Marques to pass the he telegraphed to them that, as a modus viventi with Great Britain is assured, the suzerain of the Transvaal would not raise any objection. As, however, this bold men tacky did not produce the intended effect, the President. forthwith commissioned Dr. Leyds to pro- ceed to Lisbun and remonstrate with the of treaty obligations.

The case which seems tion that the British gunboat will again be to have brought irritation in Hongkong to a climax occurred, incongruously enough, to a steamer under the Portuguese flag, sailing from inca: The Taiping was nearing Kong. mom, on her way to Samshui, when she was attacked by pirates who ranged up alongside in a steam launch, firing not only rifles but cannon and, having, established the necessary funk, booked on alongside, hoarded, drove the crew below, shot the single (Portuguese) officer who seems to have offered any resistance, robbed the unresisting passengers, and carried off a passenger and member of the compradore's staff for some purpose as yet undisclosed. The significance of the outrage will be appreciated previously pirated: the fact that it was well- when we add that the launch itself had been known as engaged constantly in towing seems, indeed, to have facilitated the piracy, as those on board the Taiping were unprepared for the travesty, and taken by surprise. It would be easy, of course, if this were an isolated case, to say the task of punishment devolved on the outraged flag. What we have to recognise is that it is only a flagrant instance of a prevalent pest; and that the preponderant interest re- presented in Hongkong, will surely oblige the exist, evidently, at Canton, either the vigour or British Government to intervene.

CALCUTTA, September 28th. H.E. the Lieut-Governor stated in Council to-day that the number of lives lost in the Darjeeling disaster cannot be less than four hundred.
Although the railway authorities were only booking for Siliguri, the mail train yesterday was crowded, parents being anxious to reach Darjeeling somehow and to see if their children were safe. A storm of rain has been greatly felt at Siliguri. Wood-built huts have been torn down and the plague camp has been destroyed. The Teesta passes are closed by the swollen and terrific condition of the river. The passes are not so high now as when the recent

From Kurseong it is cabled that there are numerous slips along the line. The first of importance is at Rungtong. The line there is blocked for a distance of two hundred yards, and a gang of men is now engaged in clearing away the debris. There is a great slip at Pag- lajhora, part of which is cleared.
Margaret's Hope Estate has lost one hundred acres of tea land and the factory is entirely dest yed. The cooly lines are buried.
The disaster occurred in the middle of the night and it is believed that two hundred coolles, men and women, were killed. The manager's house has been hall destroyed. "

appeal made by the Pretoria Govern connected with the internal administration ment to a European Power, in a matter not of the Republic, but obviously belonging to that sphere of external control which the Con vention assigns to England exclusively. Instead of instructing Dr. Leyds to bully the Lisbon Government, it was Mr. Krüger's duty to for ward his remonstrance through Mr. Conyngham Greene to the High Commissioner, for dispatch to London. As he adopted the other course, he practically claims an independent position for the Republic in foreign affairs as well as in domestic, thus violating the very treaty by which the Doers are entitled to Home Rule. It is now abundantly clear that Mr. Krüger, while pretending to consider the proposal, really sought gain time' for the arrival of the two shiploads of Mauser ammunition which had reached Lorenzo Marques. Without this supply, the Mauser rifles just issued to the burghers might almost as well have been kept in store; it is believed that very little of the ammunition they require is on hand at Pretoria.
