Cape town, May IA long teIegraphic
correspondence between Sir Hercules
Robinson. Dr. w .. Leyds, secretary OF
state OF the South African Republic. and
Sir Jacobus A. Dewitt. British agent at
Pretoria. covering the period between
April % and April 90 has been published
In brief II shows the extreme dIsquietude
prevailing in the TransvaaI at the time
in regard to the alleged maszing OF
troops on the western border Of the
Transvaal Republic, or in the vicinity OF
Mafeking. II appears that President
Kruger was not inclined to accept the
assurance Of Sir Hercules Robinson that
the gathering was not one Of hostile in
tent, and that the troops were not being
held at Mafeking. but were being started
as promptly as possible for Buluwayo
and elsewhere.
Sir Jacobus A. Dewitt finally proposed.
with the approval OF President Kruger.
the sending OF a Joint committee Of Beers
and English to inquire into the reported
gathering OF British troops at Mafeking.
At this Sir Hercules Robinson replied
that he trusted he would have no. such
''preposterous proposals."

The writer says;
with Us everything goes on very well.
and there II no doubt Of our ability to

termination Of the war ls what must be

patriotism. you make every effort 10 OBJ

the surest way Of bringing the war 10
a termination would be 10 place here

Observing their own laws. would not in

that they would be able to grind their
sugar cane. while to the government he
gave the assurance that the elections

country al large ne declared that Pinar

showing themselves willing to believe
that the general would keep his promise,
began TO get ready for grinding the cane.
Under the circumstances I made UP my
mind to invade Pinar del Rio again in

Military Expense.

Berlin. May i.-It has been learned by
the German war office that the French
ministry some time before It's fall had
decided to ask the chambers for a credit
of I70.O00.000 francs for the purpose OF
supplying the army with rapid-firing
guns OF pattern superior TO any that
has yet been produced The German
war Office had already provided designs
for a new rapid-firing gun. supposed TO
be great deal more effective than the
French weapon. but the invention was
kept a complete secret. the government
being reluctant TO order the construction
OF the guns. as II would involve the out
lay OF 9Oo.0oo.0Oo marks Now that
France is likely to obtain a new and
formidable gun 1t is imperative that the
relchstag must be asked for the neces-
sary credits to strengthen the ertillery
equipment of Germany.
