AN uNsoLvED MYSTERY.
London.-The extraordinary mystery
of the proceedings in the Transvaal is
solved not at all by the daily dispatches.
The futility and the bloody ending of the
obvious plot In spite of months of prep
aration by men of ability are as inex-
plicable to-day as on the morning Jane
son crossed the border. The Times
Transvaal correspondent quotes Gen.
Joubert as saying:
Rhodes plan was to blot out the little
spots on the map of South Africa, the
Orange Free state and the Transvaal, and
to make not British, but a Rhodes en-
pire out of South Africa"
ORGANS SAY MUCH.
London.--The Globe publishes severe
article on the suggestion of the United
es-Venezuela commission to the gov
ernments Of Great Britain and Venezuela
to submit to the commission all of the
evidence in their possession, which is
likely to further the work of investigation
and also inviting these two governments
to be represented before it by attorneys
without prejudice to eithers claims. 1t
then says:
"Great Britain will never allow this
monstrous claim to determine the terri
tory of British colony within its juris-
diction. No power would admit it, ex-
cept at the close of long and disastrous
war. Were such a demand made by any
other power, our only reply would be to
hand its ambassador his passports, and
mobilize the fleet.
"Will these pernicious commissioners
undertake to answer for the effect upon
their own oountrymen of forcing the
premier to snub the American secretary
of state?"
TRINIDAD ISLAND.
The Westminster Gazette, comment
ing on the dispatch from Buenos Ayres,
which announced that cable message
from Rio de Janeiro had been received
there saying that Senior Carlos Carvalho,
the Brazilian minister for foreign affairs,
is preparing note demanding the imme-
diate restitution of the Island of Trini-
dad, occupied by Great Britain, to Brazil,
says:
"There is nothing improbable in this
news. 1t is, indeed, rather to be well
coined, because it affords a test of the
sincerity with which the government of
the United states intends to discharge
its self-elected duties as lord chief justice
Of the American continent, for in the
present dispute England is pressing for
arbitration, and Brazil refuses it uncon-
ditionally. What Wilt the United States
