II)- Aftioelntrtl Prcaa to (lie Jourunl. Great Ilritain 1i:h either got to light or back down. Tho Transvaal Republic does not propose to let Cecil Rhodes and British capital exploit that country. Tho Republic refused to grant u dyna mite monopoly to tho British, reserving tho right to manufacture, import, ex port or deal In high explosives to citi zens of tho Republic. No one can become a citizen but by being a native or a seventeen-year resi dent. Tho present llritisli government re quested that President Paul Krueger an nul tho dynamite monopoly. Tho reply of President Krueger was that ho know best what was for tho good of-hts own people, and ho declined to annul. That is the situation up to Sunday, when tho further progress of tho situa tion is revealed by tho Associated Press. Tho demand of tho British, as ropro seated by Rhodes of tho South African company is tho battlo of the ages tho demand of organized capital to be per mitted to develop tho vuluablu mines and resources of tho Transvaal Republic for tho benefit of tho owners of foieigu capital instead of tho people of that Re public. Sunday Cable Repoits. Wlion tho secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Chamoorlain, hi tho house of commons Thursday, summed up tho result of tho Bloomfontcin confer, once by declaring that "a new situation lias beeii created," ho used a pregnant phrase, open, apparently, to a variety of interpretations, but in reality open only to one. Tho politicians who have closely followed tho nffalrs of tho Transvaal und Mr. Chamlcrla!n's attitude with respect to them are fully satislied Unit tho co louial K'cretary plainly meant to declare that, by means of those opening nogotln. tions, in which the British high commis. slouer, Sir Alfred Milner, had exhausted every diplomatic resource to effect a reasonable tettlenieiit of tho matters in dispute, it had been proved definitely that President Krueger was irreconcil able, and that all hope of an arrange, meiit by suggestion or diplomatic pros sure was henceforth vain. Tho British are especially oxasjieratod because they feel they have been trilled with, and tho question on every body's lips is "What noxt?" Mr. Chamborlin is not tho man to ho di verted from his course. Ho has pub licly anil deliberately espoused tho cause of the outlanders, and his noxt step will be u domaiid. It maybe stated as certain that this contingency has boon fully forseou for months past. rrosh troops and lurgo quantities of munitions of war have gone to South Africa by every stoainer. The troops have boon described as re liefs, but those they wore supposed to relievo have remained in South Africa. A steamer which sailed in May took 600 of thowj reliefs, and paBkongors who had previously secured accommodations had to yiold their places to the officers and men. In Natal, at Lady Smith, a large force has lxton assembled, fully equip! uud ready to march at a moment's notice. Hundreds of mules from South Africa ami Cyprus are on tho spot, the store houses are full of forage and tho magazines aro packed with ammunition. It is estimated that the Transvaal eould muster a fighting force of from 10,000 to 18,000 man, while the British troojwi there already number 11,000 men, commanded by the veteran, Major-General Sir William Francis Butler, who has been in command of the troops in South Africa since 1803. His wife was HHzalxith Thompson, the well-known artist. He served in Canada in 1870, during the Zulu war In 1878-9, in Egypt In l&W and 1881-6, and commanded tho British troops at Alexandria from 1800 to lSW. In addition, the British have a largo body of splendid mounted rifle mpn ami mounted jioliee available, so if iMMtilitiw break out events will inovu quickly. Joiiasswwjkh, June 1Q. At the waw meetiug ef Uitkindors held Itere today, for the purjoee of aanflrmlng ami sop porting the proposals ef Sir Alfral Sift ner, the British high commissioner, a resolution was adopted declaring that "no settlement will bo satisfactory which does not provide for tho recognition of equal political rights to all." President Krueger's proposals wore roil sidered wholly inadequate to satisfy the just demand of tho unenfranchised, while Sir Alfred Milner's were Indorsed as tho irreducible minimum acceptable. Tho meeting was orderly and was at tended by 5000 Ultlandors. hllo tho country generally la back. Ing 3Ir. Chamberlain, many woll-Iu formed people assert that, urged by Cecil Rhodes and tho potent social in- lluonces of tho British Chartered Souti Africa Comnauv. he la hurrvinu tho country to disaster. Thoy say that no' only will f resident Krueger not retract, but that the Transvaal forces, familiar with every Inch of tho county, will bo able to copo with any force Great Britain can put in tho field. His ar tillery Ib known to bo much superior to tho British artillery, and signs aro not wanting to show that tho Boors have more than tho moral support of the Orange Frco State. Ths government issued u notice adver? Using tho enfranchised burghers to al low tho mooting to proceed without -dls turbauce. London, June 10. It is not improba bio the crisis in tho Transvaal will bo hastened by some untoward Incident at Johannesburg, J. B. Robinson, tho South African uiillloiiair and mine- owner, received a telegram today from his agent nl Johannesburg, saying the situation there Is most serious. Tho concensus of opinion among prom inent iiitlauders and South African cap italists in London is that tho British govurnment is in a tight fix ; that it cinnot retreat from its position, and that if President Kruegor does not recede, war is inovittiblo. Regarding tho suggestion that tho United States be asked to mediate be tween! the Transvaal and Great Britain, United States Ambassador Olioato says: "While ovorygood American would welcomo the possibility of helping a so lution of tho present situation, wo hav6 not been approached, uud I personally know nothing of tlita proposed media tion by America." A detachment of 200 royal engineers huvo sailed for South Africa from Southampton. PmrrouiA, Transvaal, Juno 10. Aftor deliberation in secret all tho morning, tho volksraad yesterday approved Presi dent Krueger's frauchiso propositions and instructed the government to draw them up in the form of a law, which will le submitted to tho volksraad. The volksraad also passed a resolution of re gret that the British high commissioner had not accepted Krueger's proposals, which tho volksraad considers reason able in the highest degiee. Blokmiontikn, Orange Tree State June 12. It is stated in official circles here that President Krueger will proimso to the Transvaal raad the ulsuition of the dynamite mouoioly. While the Orange Free State is using its influence at Pretoria to obtain re forms for thu uitlanders in thcTrausvaal, tho railway company has sent all its available rolling stock to Johannesburg, to be in readiness for a possible excite ment.
