tion is now being asked whether the
demonstration attending the landing here
OF DR. jameson and his fellow raiders
was genuine outburst of public feel
ing or whether It was not largely due
to plans OF the government to excite the

proof that the Cabinet was resorting to
the old trick of authorizing the use of
provocative agents. Some of the mem
bers of the present Ministry are. how
