BRITISH SUZERAINTY OVER THE TRANS

London, May 23.-The Pretoria correspondent
Of 1.-THE Times" says:
1.-The Star publishes. without the knowledge
or approval Of the Government. the text OF the
reply Of the South African Republic to Mt.
Chamberlain's dispatch. The note justifies the
Transvaals contention that It cannot recognize
any suzerainty since TIE Convention OF 1854
and quotes letter from Lord Derby, written in
1854. which. 1t contends. shows that LORD DERBY
intended TO abandon the suzerainty.
The note reiterates the charge that British
officials countenanced the Jameson raid. and re-
afirms the claim Of the Transvaals right TO ar
btration."

plates all the consequences that might result IN
