commenting upon the invasion of the
Transvaal territory by the filibustering

without having received orders to do
so from Cecil Rhodes. premier of Cape
Colony, who. in turn. according to the
newspaper mentioned. was in commu-
nication with England. The Figaro
adds: THE English simply wish to do
with the miners of South Africa as a
pickpocket does with ones purse. and
with the help of a well-organized

attempt at international filibustering
