has been Issued.

Shall be Established over New
Guinea to Stay Slave Trade.
The Conference Of the Powers at Berlin
Likely to Fall Through with on Account

THE UNITED KINGDOM.

LONDON, Oct. 11.-An ultimatum has been
sent the Transvaai government by Great Brit
ain. 1t recalls the reported violations of the
treaties and acts of violence committed by
the Beers beyond the boundary lines of the
Transvaal country. 1t demands of the Trans
yaal government due satisfaction for these
acts OF repression of Boer Dlibusters, and a
thorough observance of the articles of TIE
last convention entered into by both coun-
tries. 1t is reported the British war Office is
already preparing an expedition of
5000 men to proceed to South
Africa, a portion of which will be drawn
from the East India army. The withdrawal
of the proclamation annexing the Montecias
territory is not expected to alter the position
% affairs, as the Beers continue to hold
g:ip upon the lands.
The decision of Gladstone that protecto-
rate should be established over New Guinea
was hastened by reports sent the British col
onial Office Of the great increase of the slave
trade upon the coast Several labor vessels
from Queensland have been seizing the
natives, and one incident in connection
Herewith is related in which some trading
vessels shot thirty-eight natives. The Brit
ish gunboat Swinger captured a slave
schooner and sent tae vessel and crew to
coast town where the latter will be tried.
No communication is yet received by the
British foreign office inviting England to
send representative to Berlin to participate
IN the proceedings of the con-
ference of the powers to secure a freedom
OF the commerce in the Congo country. A
portion OF the press of France is publishing
articles opposing the proposition for the
French government to send representa- We
to the conference. Salel says upon this
subject that the success of the conference
will result only in profit to Germany, and if
the conference should fail Germany would
still manage to engage France in a policy
| hostile To England.
A conference is expected between the Earl
Of Derby, secretary of state for the colonies,
and the Canadian premier upon the question
OF the admission of the West India colonies
! into the Dominion of Canada. The Earl of
Derby in an interview with a committee
from the West Indies, stated the home gov
ernment would acquiesce in the proposition
TO connect the West Indies with the Domin-
| ion OF Canada.
The ReDuJtigUe FTdncaise says the confer
ence will doubtless be limited to examining
questions of international commerce and
Jurisprudence, arising from the occupation
by various powers of the regions on the
Congo.
