Copyrighted by the Associated Press.
Cape Town. May "A long teiegrapfic
correspondence between Sir Hercules Ron
inson. DR. W. j. Leyds, secretary Of state
OF the South African Republic. and Sir
Jaeohus A. Dewitt, British agen. at Pre-
toTha, covering the period between April %
and April %. has been published. In brief
il shows the extreme disquiefude prevaiIiag &
in the Transvaai at the time in regard to
the alleged masslng of troops on the west
ern border Of the Tranvaai Republic, or in
the vicinity OF Mafeking.
II appears that President Kruger was
not inclined 10 accept the assurances OF Sir
Hercules Robinson that the gathering was
not one OF hostile intent and that the troops
were not being held at Mafeking, but were
being started as promptly as possible for
Baiuwayo and elsewhere. Sir Jacobus A.
Dewitt finally proposed. with the apprcyal
o. President Kruger. the sending OF joint
committee OF Beers and English 10 inquire
into the reported gathering Of British
troops at Nafesing. At this Sir Hercules
Rob,uson replied that he trusted he would
have no more such ''preposterous pro-
posals''

Mr.. Chamberlain. replying 10 a question.
said he had received telegram from the
governor Of Cape Colony. Sir Hercules Rob-
inson. with reference to the cryptograms
which had been construed as Implying that
Sir Hercules had knowledge OF the plan to
invade the Transyaal. The telegram from
Hercules is as follows: 81 cannot state TOO
explicitly tina, / never received from any
one the slightest hint of what was about to
occur, and the news OF the invasion OF DIR.
Jameson came like a bolt out Of the blue
sky. II there should be any insinnation TO
the contrary. rely upon you 10 protect my
character in my absence" Mr.. Chamber
lain added that he had implicit confidence
in the statement Of Sir Hercules. and he,
the secretary Of state for the colonies,
never for moment believed the rumors.
When Mr.. Chamberlain was questioned
regarding the crypsogram from Johannes

I'll Cecil Rhodes had pledged that the I'M
perial government would not assert author
ity'over the Transvaai in the event of sue

Rhodes had no authority to pledge the i'm
periai government in any way. and l was
not aware that Mr.. Rhodes had done So"
