DEEP LAID PLAN OF ENGLISH.
Opinions at Cape Town Regarding
kruger's Alleged Resignation.

LONDON, July 26-According to the
Cape Town correspondent of the Daily Mail,
President Kruger's resignation is regarded
as a cute move to create a crisis for the
purpose of tiding over the interval until the
rainy season begins.
The correspondent says the Dutch ex-
tremists ascribe 1t deep British game
for the pensioning of President Kruger, in
order to allow the seizure of the country.
A dispatch from Pretoria says: Amicable
relations between the volksraad and Pres
ident Kruger have been restored The pres
ident has definitely abandoned his idea of
resigning.
AS to the difference of opinion on the
question of the dynamite concession. Gen.
p. J. Joubert. vice president of the repub-
lie. and the majority of the volksraad IA
vor cancellation of the monopoly, while
President Kruger supports It, The minori-
ty of the roiksraad desires TO buy out the
company.
The conspiracy case against ex-British
officers has been withdrawn, and the re-
naming prisoners were released today.
