BY this time the news that DR.. Jane

pesburg and his arrival at that place was
expected hourly. Crowds OF people
surrounded the Consolidated Gold Fields
building and the gathering OF recruits for
the Uitlanders' forces was carried on with
great vigor; but, too late. as subsequent
events showed. lin the meantime the
Bocrs had not been idle. They seem TO
have been fully aware OF DR.. Jansson's
PROPOSED raid and met the movement by
gathering together a force Of aboutb,ooo
well-armed, well-mounted, eIcellsntly
trained farmer-huntsmsn, whose rides al.
ways speak In deadly earnest. This
caused feeling Of alarm among the Uit-
landers, numbers N whom left the town

che British Chartered company has been
compiled:
For loRg time past the Citlanders. or
foreign residents OF the Trsnsvasl, have
been complaining OF the treatment they
have been subjected to by the Beers The
Uitlanders, though far outnumbering the
Boers, have been compelled 10 contribute

and yet have no representation or voice In

question. r-g

On the other hand, the Beers claim that

full representation, for then they would
soon outvote the Borcs and make the re-

Jameson, administrators OF the territory
of the British Chartered company, that

DIR. Jameson then began preparations
for raid upon Johannesburg, mastering
about 100 men and plenty OF ammunition,
but little food ON ths Transvaal bo-der.

Later the committee of the provisional
government sent the following communi.
cation to Sir Hercules Robinson, the gov
ernor of Cape Colony;
"We have Information that a large body
OF Beers has been commanded to immedi.
ately attack Johannesburg and shoot ON

ask you TO Intervene To protect the lives

This CAUSED hurried exchange OF cable
messages with the home government, and
everything possible was done to call DIR.
Jameson back, but In vain. When DIR
Jameson's forces were first sighted In the
Transvaal territory they were met By .
messenger from Commander Marco. who
