TRANSVAAL RAID.
SOUTH AMERICAN COMMISSION
WILL MAKE A REPORT.
Cecil Rhodes Had No Excuse For
His Action, and Heavy Respon-
sibility Remains With Him.

London, July 13.-The parliament
tartan South African commission that
has been inquiring into the TransvaaI
raid has agreed upon its report The
Pail Mall Gazette will publish tomorrow
a summary of the conclusions of the
committee. The report will express an
emphatic opinion that, whatever justi-
fication there might have been for
action on the part of the people of
johannesburg, there was none what
ever for Cecil Rhodes conduct in sub
Sliding, organizing and stimulating an
armed inSurrection against the gov
eminent of the Transvaal.
A heavy responsibility, according to
the report, remains with Rhodes,
despite the fact that at the last mo-
ment DR.. Jameson invaded the Trans
vaal without Rhodes direct sanction
The gravity of Rhodes transaction. is
weightily expressed by the committee
who find that he seriously en-
barrassed both the imperial and
colonial government; that the pro-
.ceedings resulted in an astounding
breach of International comfy: that
he utilized his position and the great
interests he controlled to assist and
support revolution and deceived the
high commissioner, as well as con-
the colonial ministry and directors of
the chartered company"
The committee is of the opinion that
the chartered company, directors who
were examined only Mr.. Belt and Mr.
Mcguire were cognizant of the plans of
Rhodes and as Belt was entrusted with
the money TO promote revolutionary
movement, he must share the full
responsibility for the consequences.
The report adds that Newton also
failed in his duty but in a less degree
The committee in conclusion unite to
condemn the raid. but at the same time
they express the opinion that nothing
will be gained by proceeding with the
proposed extension of inquiry into the
administration of the chartered COM
pany. They declared Lord Rosemeade
and Mr.. Chamberlain and the under
secretaries of the colonial office blame
less on the ground that there is no
evidence that any of them was in any
sense cognizant of the plans for the
raid. but they pronounced Sir Graham
Bower. imperial secretary of the high
commissioner. guilty of a grave de-
reelection of duty in that he failed to
