The TRANSVAAL INVASION
Examination of Cecil Rhodes by the
Parliamentary Committee.
Denied That He Said He Was Ac-
lively Engaged in Promoting
an Iusurrection.

London, Feb. 10 The South African
Company commission, appointed by the
House of Commons to inquire into the
troubles in the TransvaaI, and parti 1ularly
into the raid made by DR. jameson and
his followers into the Boer territory, ie-
sumed its sittingS in Westminster Hail to-
day, after two days recess. The hail was
crowded with distinguished spectators
MIR. Cecil Rhodes, formerly premier of
Cape Colony. who was Under examination
by the committee at the time OF the ad-
Journment on Tuesday, was again called
to the witness stand. Mr.. Rhodes was eX
amincd as to the cipher dispatches Which
passed between numerous capitalists of the
South African States and Others prior to
the jameson raid and were later entered
as evidence at the trial Of the members OF
the Johannesburg reform committee at
Pretoria.
In the course of the examination Cf Mr.
Rhodes, the chairman of the committee
referred to the British high commissioner
Sir Hercules Robinson (now l. ord RosmeadD
Mr., Rhodes said that he had advised the
commissioner that If any rising should &C
cur he Uhe commissioner would better
mediate between the revolving party and
President Kruger with the object OF >ecur-
ing to the people their civil rights Witness
had gathered from what the comm. %si lner
said that he intended to act as media tor,
in accordance with his suggestion, and,
therefore, gave his personal pledge o the
people of johannesburg that the commits
sioner would go to that place if an in
surrection should take place.
Mr.. Rhodes admitted in answer TO a
direct question that he had not told the
high commissioner that he was actively
engaged in promoting an insurrection. The
object OF the rising, Mr.. Rhodes said, was
to obtain q plebiScite to ascertain whether
the people were in favor of a union of the
whole of South Africa, or whether the
administration of local affairs should be
left to the Transvaal government.
Mr Rhodes AIDED: You may be sure that

Manhattan holds up wonderfully under
the avalanche OF adverse criticism and
gossip that is being sent out from New
York. The people who hold it must
have a strong faith that all of this gossip
is not well founded. There was talk
yesterday that after all the regular diyi-
dend Of ! IL per cent will not be reduced
at the March meeting of the Manhattan
directors. 1t is said that Mr.. Gould owns
Oh controls at least a half OF the Manhattan
stock and that ne rs not in favor Of cutting
the dividend If il comes TO fight be-
tween Mr.. Sage and Mr.. Gould-it is also
said that Mr.. Sage does want IL reduction
IL would seem TO be the probability tt at
Mr.. Gould will prevail Ii is not To be
supposed, though, OF course, that Mr.
Gould and Mr.. Sage Will really come to
blows in this matter AS l take it, they
are still good friends and only differ
slightly as TO this little matter of policy
Mr. Sage regards MIR. George Gould as
likely young man, l. believe, and though
he has the largest amount of ready money
on his person OF any man in the world,
! believe, always, stjH he would gracefully
give way if he saw that his young friend
was really determined To keep up the
dividends on Manhattan.

The regular quarterly dividend of 1
per cent on Burlington was looked for,

been expected of it in the way of helping
the market. II was a factor, however,
in preventing declines. 1t is expected that
the statement Of the road will be issued
in a day or So This may not be as
satisfactory as the dividend announcement,
and will probably be used by the bears
TO aid their operations If possible. In
