Extent of the Republic Now In the
Vortex of War.

'nCasO RECORD.
Any one who will study a map Of South
Africa will be able to understand a few OF
the reasons why the British war Office feels
1t necessary to mobilize so large force to
subdue the South African republic and its
ally, the Orange Free state, When the
Afrkanders finally secured the recognition
OF their claims, in the convention OF 1884
they were allowed to fix their boundaries
about territory of 1879 square miles.
The nation which has been commonly known
as petty republic" and which some of the
London journals now characterize as a
"trumpery little state" is, therefore, in
reality nearly as large, territOrially, as New
Mexico, and larger than all New England
together with New York, The Transvaal IL

Mex, the most accessible point on the Natal

far, while from Kimberley, should the
British commence invasion from that point,
the distau2e is nearly 300 miles. Could the

would have a journey OF nearly 600 miles
