Wiltseo is thoroughly posted In Trans
vaal affairs having lived several years in
and around johannesburg. and his SYM
pathies are all with the Uitlanders.
The American Element
II presume" said Mr. Wiltsee, that
what you particularly want to know Is
about the American element In the Trans
vaal. Well, the Americans are not
numerous, but they are influential, and 1
may add popular with the Beers, while
the English. naturally enough are hated.
And here I may remark that, though
many Of the raiders might have enter
tanned annexation ideas when they fol-
lowed DIR. Jameson, tho American ele-
ment did not and ! believe in fact, 1
know that the movement was one In the
direction Of reform. I left the country
before the raid, but l. as everyone else
knew that trouble OF some kind was
brewing, for the reason that the state of
things was growing more and more In
tolerable to the Uitlanders or foreigners.
John Hays Hammond.
"As for my friend, John Hays Ham,
mond, he is an American, heart and soul,
and would never think of having to do
with q movement looking to he over
throw OF even an oligarchial republic.
He is of the same caliber as Dr. Jameson,
and the men generally who are making
out of the sterile Transvaal one Of the
Richest and most prosperous regions on
the earth's surface, with splendid fut-
ure. could speak more specially Of mat
ters In the Transvaal from inside knowl-
edge I possess, but prudence compels me
to silence The concessions lately grant
cd by the Boer government to three COM
panies go to show, were they inquired
into, that this innocent administration OF
Paul Kruger has an eye to the main
chance and Is not lacking in sordiness.
Richest Mines In the World.
"In conclusion l may say that the
American element In South Africa is one
of beneficence. IL takes In the most in.
fiuential and progressive Of the popula-
ton and has, in an engineering sense,
control of the rand mines, which mines
are the richest In tho whole world. Why,
they are not half developed, nor will they
be until the Transvaal has more liberal
government. AS for the future, no man
knows what 1t will bring forth, though
we can all guess. That there will he vast
changes Is certain"
