ENGlAND's AfRIcAX TROUBLES.
Difficulties with tho Transvnni Republic
Dutch sympathy with the ZuIus.


LONDON, March IA special despatch TO
the DdilV Ne,cs from Cape Town says: Affairs
in the Transvaal are causing much anxiety. 1t
is reported that tho Republicans intend to re-
convene the old Nolksraad which was dissolved
10y Sir Theophilus Shepstone, and elect a Presi-
dent OF the Transvaal Republic. 1t is reported
also that majority Of the Transyaal Beers will
decline to take part against tho Iulus. de-
spatch from Ceywayo to Gen. Kruger. former
President Of the TrausvaAl. asking the Beers TO
remain neutral has hcen intercepted. Tho
commander OF Dutch station had seizod and
sent back to the Zulus cattle captured and sold
to the settlers. on the ground that the Zulus
might be expected 10 invade the Transvanl to
recapture their cattle. A British magistrate
had issued warrant for the arrest OF the COM
mander. but an attempt to execute II would
probably be forcibly resisted. The leaders OF
the Dutch party protest against these reports
and against suspi iclons OF an alliance. present
or prospective. between the Beers and the
Zuus."
Many Beers are serving efficiently with Col
Woods column. and the Transvaa Is itself
threatened both 10y Secocoeni and by tho Kaiiirs
within It's borders. There does not appear
TO bo any reasonable foundation for the appre-
tensions expressed in the special despatch to
the Ddiiy AeirS.
