'BRITONS
ARE ALERT.
They Await the Attack of
the Beers, as Ultima
iium Has Expired.

London. Oct. 1.-THE Trans
walls ultimatum to Great Britain
expired to-day, at 10. 10 o'clock,
New York time.
A state Of war now exists, since
it is uncomfortable that the British
reply backs down, and hostilities
are expected at once, as the Beers
are greatly intlamed.
A cabinet meeting is called for
Friday. The delivery OF the uti.
matunl by the Beers is regarded as
triumph for Chamberlain's diplo-
macy in that he forced the II ans
vaal Government to move first.
A despatch from .MefekIng says:
ut unsupported that an attack
would be made last night, and the
men slept on their arms, the outposts
were strengthened and everyone
warned to be ready. 1t is thought
the enemy will attempt to shell the
town to-day. Nearly all the women
who remain here have volunteered
to assist in ambulance work.
Machine guns have been placed
in position and stands of arms have
been provided at various points IN
the native quarter so that, in case
of attack, the natives may be armed.
1t is stated that the total of the
Boer forces In the neighborhood is
5000. Our outposts form complete
Gordon, which no one is allowed to
cross unless provided with pass.
The chief OF the Baralongs, in
conversation, expressed his willing
ness and readiness to fight against
the Beers, but this is forbidden by
the government.
