BoERs CALLED TO ACCOUNT.
Reported British Demand That Order
 Shall Be Maintained.

London, May 1.-The Outlook has Cape Town which reports that Colonial Secretary Chamberlain dispatched through Sir Alfred Milner, governor of the Cape Colony, on April 29 firmly worded demand that the Transvaal government should observe it's cbliga- tions to the queen as the paramount power by securing peace and order n the South African republic. This, the correspondent says, is taken to mean that the imperial govsrnment consid- CTS that the time has come to invite President Kruger to observe both the letter and the spirit of the London con- vention. How far the dispatch is is not known in Cape Town This ac- ton on the part of Mr. Chamberlain, the dispatch says, is not likely to as- feet the peace of South Africa, as there is a strong belief in Cape Town that the Transyaal government will not fight upon any provocation short of a direct attack upon it's indepen- dence
 The Central News says it is officially informed that Mir Chamberlain has net addressed a p.otest to the Trans vaal government.
 Paris. May 11.-The Journal des Debats says that the policy of Great Britain toward the Transvaal is unjust, dangerous and impudent in the face of Europe.
