palm tree puts forth a branch every
month and where a spray OF this tree,
with twelve shoots on it. was used as
symbol Of the year completed.

mored gathering Of a second force of the char
tered South African company's troops at
Buluwayo. President Kruger has replied
that he had given no orders to shoot free
hooters who had been taken prisoners, but
that they would be punished according to
law. He said that they had been treated with
the greatest consideration by the Burghers,
despite the fact that the latter had more than
once been forced to take up arms in defense
of the republic. President Kruger adds:
Our confidence in Mr. Rhodes has received
such rude shock that his reputation Of the
proceedings at Buluwayo ought to be received
with the greatest caution. Even now we
have news that an armed force is collecting
on our borders If that be true, / trust that
not the word of Mr.. Rhodes but the influence
OF your government will suffice to prevent
the further incursions of freebooters, although
it was not successful in arresting the ad-
vance Of DR.. Jameson"
Secretary Chamberlain, in his reply today,
thanked President Kruger for his assur-
ances. and added that he had always felt
confidence in his magnanimity. He had sent
an imperial officer, he said, to Buluwayo to
vent the possibility of any further raids, and
assuring President Kruger that he might
rest confident that he would strictly uphold
the regulations Of the convention of 1884
BERLIN, Jan. 5.--President Kruger of the
following reply to the latter's telegram Of
congratulations upon his success in repelling
invasion:
81 testify to your majesty my very deep
and heartfelt thanks for your sincere con-
gratulations. With Gods help we hope to do
