ABSORBING TOPIC IN LONDON.
How the UItimatum Was Received in
Britain's CnpitnI.


London, Oct 10.-The ultimatum of the
Transvaal government is naturally the alb
sorblng topic Of conversation at the clubs
and in political circles tonight There
was no apparent excitement, but general
feeling was expressed that the Beers had
made mistake, as their forcing matters
would tend to ALLEVIATE the sympathy which
might have been extended to them had
they thrown the stigma of declaring war
on Great Britain.
The text of the Boer ultimatum, on ar
riving this morning. was sent with all
speed to Lord Salisbury, who came to
town this afternoon, and a dispatch box
was sent to the Prince of Wales, which is
only done in cases of special urgency.
The Portuguese minister to Great Brit
ain SenOr Several, called at the foreign
office this afternoon and had an interview
with Lord Salisbury and his visit is nat
urally connected in the public mind with
the alleged purchase by Great Britain of
Delagoa bay. A dispatch tending to con-
firm the report of this purchase comes
from Lourenzo Marques. 1t states that
the British third-class cruiser PhilOmel
is anchored fifteen miles off the port and
is supposed to be waiting the arrival Of
transports and warships to pilot them into
lllG udIDoI. II l. dbiNC NIA AAi'4f lip'fN - .
that the transports would not so TO Lou
renzo Marques unless the British were
about to fly their flag over the fort.
The cabinet has been summoned to meet
at the foreign Office on Friday next. War
preparations by Great Britain are being
pushed with the greatest energy. The
Woolwich arsenal has already forwarded
to South Africa over 100000 cartridges for
rifles and machine guns, and the reservists
continue to respond eagerly to the mobili-
zation proclamation.
A Letter From JOubert.
DR.. Gavin Brown Clar, Radical member
OF the House of Commons for CaithneSs,
who. all along, has worked hard for peace,
has Just received characteristic letter of
thanks from Commandant General Jou-
bert. in which Gen. Joubort declares that
Cecil Rhodes DR.. Jameson and Mr.. Cham
berain are responsible for the mischief.
He says:
'''The johannesburg clique says that Mr..
Chamberlain regards the existence Of the
Orange Free State and The Transvaal as
two blots. which, as Cecil Rhodes has said,
must be wiped oui from the map He seems
desirous to do this with the b,ood of the
Afrikander people and of the poor British
soldiers We do not desire war. We
know we are not a match for the powerful
armies of Great Britain and her willing
colonies. We never have been able to do
anything against Eng.ands might.
Mr.. Chamberlain is trying to drive us
into the Red sea. but / still hope God will
sneak TO the kind heart OF her majesty,
the Queen. and that Of her noble people,
aud that they will not allow this wicke
Haman to cool his hatred against our
lands Mordecai. We are convinced that
Chamberlain will try TO conquer our coun-
try and we shall try TO prevent him, by
the hep Of God, 10 the last drop of our
