A LETTER FROM JOUBERT.
Cha mberIain's Plan liz Not to Have
an Understanding.

George w. Van Sic.en of New York city
has received a letter from his friend, Cen
eral P. J. Joubert. commander-in-chief Of
the army of the South African Republic,
which defends the Transvaafs position in
eral Jouberts letter, translated is in part
as follows:
II will not insist that the Transvaal gov
eminent is infallible and perfect. but as
compared with England of oden times and
even with England of the present day. we
have no reason to feel ashamed. If 1t is
true that England has conquered Canada
and Ireland In the manner described by the
French author, Elias Regnault, and by Mr..
E. Won der Maarten, then are We able to
stand the test of comparison. We never
ting our disputes with England to arbi-
tration before any foreign court of justice
or body of arbitratorS.
But this England never will do nor dare
do. The plan of Chamberlain is not to
come to an understanding or to a settle
ment of any dispute with us. 1t is impos-
sible to dispel from the mind of the Boer
the idea that Chamberlain was deeply in
volved with Rhodes in the raid and ravages
of Jameson upon the republic. and that 1t
is this failure that even now lies in his
throat, lump hard that he is unable to
tense to declare war against US for the So
called grievances of the Outlanders in re-
gard to the right to vote in order that he
may annihiate our small people and annex
our country, If God will permit him to do
so.
You speak of arbitration, but Mr.. Rider
. Haggard says that arms must arbitrate,
and Chamberlain refuses arbitration. be-
cause he knows very well that he never
can gain thereby.

DIAMONDS DEARER.
LFrom the London Leader.l ]


One of the most striking, though the
least known, results of the TransVaal
trouble has been the further aggrava-
tion of the already bad position of the
diamond trade.
The president of the Diamond club
(N1r. Bernhard Cohen) was good enough
recently to give Morning Leader rep
reSentatiVe few facts in regard to the
situation that has arisen. According
to Mr.. Cohen, some Is months back d1a-
mOnds began to grow Scarcer in conSe-
quence of the restriction of the output
by the De Beers syndicate. The reStric-
ton was the more effective because
with the exception of a few from Brazil
and India the bulk of the diamonds
comes from South Africa.
The inevitable result of this limita-
tion was, of course, to send the price
up fully SO per cent according to Mr.
Cohen. The war, coming upon the heels
of the De Beers action and the cutting
off at Kimberley altogether from the
rest of the world, has still further re-
stricted the supply and driven the price
up another Il per cent. or As per cent
higher than IS months ago.
Naturally not little shaking of heads
has resulted among the jewellers and
dealers in precious stones. Tempted by
the high prices, the dealers have rushed
to sell and realize the profits within
their grasp. But in spite of these sales
the values have continued to rise, max
ing the sellers heartily sorry they did
not wait a little longer. One man who
had all but clinched a bargain for &20,-
600 worth of rough stones was told the
next day that if he then wanted the
goods he would have to pay per cent
more for them.
Needless to say small dealers find
their trade practically at a StandStilI
while the manufacturing jewelers., who
We're always full up with work, are al
most completely idle-at all events, so
far as commissions from diamond deal
ers are concerned. People, again, who
used to come to London from Antwerp
to sell their diamonds keep away, for
the very good reason that they have
nothing to SELL
In subsequent conversation with
members of the club the Morning Lead
er representative learned that good
class pearls had exhibited a similar
flight upWard-having risen 100 200 and
even 800 per cent in the last II months.
This, however, has nothing to do with
the war. It is merely a result Of
pearl famine which has set in.
