AFFAIRS CRITICAL.
Excitement Will Prevent Birthday Re
 ception at Presidency.

London, October 10.-A despatch from Pretoria dated Monday evening says:
 owing to the state of the country gen. orally and the excitement which prevails 1t has been officially announced that there will be no birthday reception at the presi- dency. Matters are becoming critical and many of the burghers in the three main cemmanderies are impatient and feel that 1t is suicidal to wait the arrival of over whelming endorsements from Europe. The president has done his utmost to stem this feeling, in the hope that diplomacy might still settle matters.
 During the past few days telegraphic con- ferences have been held with President Steyn and whatever course shall be taken by the Transvaal will receive the support of the Orange Free State. It is freely ru- mored in the town and is believed to be true that the government assumed its firm position because Great Britain's new pro posals have not arrived, though MT. Conyg- ham Green, the British diplomatic agent at Pretoria informed State Secretary Reitz nine days ago that they would be formu- lated in a few days. Consequently the burghers are alarmed a the continued dis patches from troops from England and ln- dia. A telegram received here outlines the ultimatum in terms already cabled, which the correspondent has just despatched Martial law may be proclaimed on Wednes- day. but all depends upon Great Britain reply The Transvaal forces are being aug mented by volunteers of all nationalities The war office is very busy. Ambulance parties are starting for the front. There Is still the aintest hope that war may be avoided.

 ''The Johannesburg clique say that MT. Chamberlain regards the existence of the Orange Free State and the Transvaal as two blots which Cecil Rhodes has said, must be wiped off the map.

That eulogy is, indeed, well deserved. To realize the merit of the Mexican president, 1t is enough to remember what my counrry was twenty years ago, as compared to what it is at present We then had a little more than 400 kiometers of railroads. We now have 14,O00. We then had no financial credit abroad; now our bonds are sold everywhere with a premium. From country which used to be Con account of its misfortunes and not the fault of its people,, looked upon disdainfully by the generality of for eign nations. it had become republic duly appreciated by the civilized world. All that transformation has been the work of Gen. eral DiaZ, done through his influence ac- quired by great military services to his fatherlaRd during its more terrible crises and modernly by his honest administration and remarkable statesmanshiu."
