But of course the number is small, and won't cut much of a figure," The threatened trouble has been brew ing for some time in fact, ever sine the settlement of the marine engineers' strike of several weeks ago. The terms of the agreement were far from" satisfactory to a large number of the engineers, and the dissatisfaction among- them has been growing.

Botha, and Colonial Secretary Chamberlain are holding a secret con ference this afternoon. Two' stenog raphers were present at the interview of Generals Botha, DeWet and Delarey, and Chamberlain and Kitchener yesterday, and according to Secretary Cahmberlain the proceedings will be made public In the near future through the Blue Book. What today's conference is for has not ELKS. been announced to the public. . Considerable importance is being ''at tached to this Interview and it is very probable that some action will be taken with reference to recent reported looting that Is being- carried on by a band of Kaffir native in South Africa for some time. In spite of the flit that the Ger mans and -English -in that particular lo cality have united in an effort to con trol these marauders it will be necessary for those In high authority to take some decided action In the matter. As General Botha is considered to be the chief representative of the Boers and Lord Chamberlain the authorised agent of the English there is hardly any doubt that some new action will be taken in the affairs of the Boers.
