PAUL KRUEGERs MASTER STROKE

The purport Of the latest revelations made by
the Transvaal Government Is indisputable. II
the dispatches just published at Pretoria are
genuine-as In all probability they are-an en-
tirely new aspect Is given to the johannesburg
conspiracy and the jameson raid. The con-
splracy was not merely a revolt OF the Out
landcrs against the intolerable tyranny OF the
Beers for the purpose Of securing just reforms.
1t was movement intended to subvert the Gov
eminent OF the Republic. and 1t was actively
participated In and In fact directed not by the
colonists Of johannesburg alone, but by the
officers and agents OF the British South Africa
Company, who were entirely outside Of the
Transvaal and had no residential interest there
in. Conspicuous completely with the whole busl-
ness is Enthusiastically fixed upon Alfred Belt and
Cecil J. Rhodes the two most influential d.
rectors Of the company, and upon DR.. Harris, the
local secretary Of the company. John Hays
Hammond appears to have been particularly
deep rnd active in the plot, and although he is
not a member of the company, he Is the most
trusted and confidential agent Of Mr.. Rhodes
These four men must now be reckoned the arch
conspirators and arch-criminals Their guilt Is
especially fragrant because they were outsiders,
planning an invasion Of the Transvaal For
u
the Johannesburg Reform Committee there may
be some excuse. They We're plotting insllrrec-
ton and revolution within State Of which they
were and intended to remain permanent resi-
dents, and their undertaking might have been
justified by success, as 1t was undoubtedly pro-
voked by the wrongs they were suffering. But
Rhodes and Belt and Harris were outsiders, and
Hammond. too. since he had no notion of becom-
ing a citizen of the Transvaal, hut was merely
temporary sojourner there intent on making
all the money he could and then getting out
DIR. Jameson's share In the business Is also
seen in new light He was evidently aware
of what was going on long before he crossed the
border. He must have known the plans Of Belt
and Rhodes and Hammond, and must have
known that the South Africa Company. Of which
he was the agent. was concerned In deliberate
conspiracy against and invasion of State over
which 1t had not the slightest shadow Of legal
authority. 1t was pleasant and altogether
plausible 10 believe until now that he invaded
the Transvaal solely In chivalrous response to
an appeal for help. and to save the women and

From time to time for many years past we

has often been for the best interests OF the Ke-

two ago we gave him bit of advice which the
best friend he ever had couldn't have made more
thoroughly in his interest and 1t was also in the
interest Of the great State that has made him

interest and also in the interest of the State
we earnestly repeat that advice and add to it.

Minister 10 Great Britain presided and In opening
the debate simply read the question and introduced

children Of johannesburg from the horrors OF
civil war But that agreeable theory is scarcely
tenable any longer. We are driven TO the coh-
clusion that he was prvy to the whole con-
spiracy. and went into the Transvaal not u
rescue. but to conquer. There seems little JUS
flee. however in making him scapegoat 1or
the sins of his coparceners. 1t Is pertinent 10
inouire why he was held at Bow Street whle
Rhodes was permitted to return to South AFRICA
and TO continue in authority there. If that was
because the British Government did not then
know what it has now learned from these dis
matches that excuse is no longer valid. Equity
demands that Rhodes, Belt and all the rest upon
whom the Government can lay its hands shall
be forthwith arrested and arraigned by Jane
sons side.
What the British Government will now do'
with what countcr-move Mr.. Chamberlain will
answer this master-stroke Of Paul kruger s.
remains to be seen and forms the SUBJECT Vi
most interesting speculation. Two courses seem
TO be OPEN and logically only two. One Is Ior
the Government to disavow responsibility FOR
and sympathy with the acts of the company, 10
cancel its charter, and to bring to trial all mem
bcrs Of it concerned in the conspiracy. That
would be an honest carrying out or the pohcy
OStenSbly adopted by the 'olohiil Onioe "' 'i'c
beginning of the trouble. 1t would be approved
by the Radical party in England-exceptlng' OF
course those members Of 1t who are Interested
in the company and who are by no means few
1t would certainly be offensive to large part OF
the Conservative and Unionist parties, and per
sonally to some members Of the Government ana
of the royal family. The other course is frankly
to accept responsibility for the company, declare
sympathy with the conspiracy, and announce
that what the company tried to do and failed
the British Government will now undertake 10
do That also would be honest and straightfor-
ward as a declaration Of principles and pur-
poses. whatever might be thought of the moral
ity of thus interfering with the domestic affairs
OF the South African Republic 1t is difficult TO
see what middle course between these two, can
be pursued with either profit or honor.

GENERAL GARCIA'S CAMPAIGN,

There Is another Richmond in the field. While
Gomez Is marching through Matanzas, and
MaceO IS in full possession OF Plnar del Rio,
Calixto Garcia has become active in the eastern
part Of Cuba. How he got there does not APP

Gently was remaining in that province with
Maceo. Now he turns up at the other end OF
the island Either the Spanish trocha Is pcrvl
Gus a sieve, or the Spanish feet Is unable
TO prevent patriot crafts from gliding along the
coast at will. At any rate the stern old war
rior met his foes, both army and navy, on the
Rio Cauto, and vanquished them with great
slaughter. He would have destroyed them alto
gether had they not sought safety under the
guns Of warships AS 1t was, he killed two hun.
drcd of them and wounded twice as many more
and drove them into fortified city; and now he
Is conducting his campaign without serious Oh
position.
A few days ago II was threatened that Sant
ago de Cuba would soon be besieged by the
patriots This movement Of Garcia's looks like
fulflment of that threat. How many men and
what arms he has with him is not reported
Since his own force has been augmented by
the addition of the forces of Rabi and Rodri
guez however, he probably has a considerable
army. and there is reason to suppose it Is
equipped with n goodly share of the arms and
ammunition which the Bermuda and other YES
