Situation In the Transvaai Appears TO Tie
Moro Critical Than EVER.


Moro Critical Than RIVER.
LONDON, Sept. 30.-(New York
World Cablegram.)-I obtained last
night from a high ministerial source
the following authentic facts concern
Ing yesterdays fateful meeting OF the
British cabinet. When the ministers
assembled they we're already in pos
session Of n draft OF Chamberlain's
proposed ultimatum to the Boer repub-
lie. The terms OF the settlement laid
down were:
l. The substitution OF the articles Of
the Pretoria convention Of 1881. for
those Of the London convention OF 1884,
respecting the Boer republics relations
with foreign powers. This substitu-
ton means the abolition of all rights
on the part OF the public to deal with
foreign powers and would amply recall
DIR. i,eyd3 as Bocr commissioners In
Europe.
2. The abolition OF all legislation re-
speeding aliens adopted by the republic
since 1881. This would remove all dis
abilities placed by successive Beer
ordinances on the outlandcrs.
3. The granting OF municipal auto
nomy to the Rand. This would give
control of all local affairs such as
police, sanitation, and 80 forth. to the
district mainly inhabited by the out
lander population. II 10 the revival
Of n scheme OF home rule for the Rand,
suggested by Chamberlain to Kruger
after the Jameson raid and contempt
uously refused by Kruger.
4. ihe removal of ali religious disa-
bilitics. At present Catholics and Jews
are disabled from holding many offices,
even the most important kind.
.. The disarmament OF the two great
forts which command Johannesburg.
The report that Er. ain demands a
population indemnity for military out
lays already incurred Is not accurate,
though IL is the intention Of the gov
eminent to raise that question in due
course. Finally, l may add, the repub-
lie Is called upon to denounce It's treaty
OF 1879 with Portugal under which 1t
IL empowered to import arms and am
munition from Delagoa bay through
Portuguese territory.
Thess may be accepted as entirely
accurate. precise British proposals.
They were adopted by the cabinet, but
no dispatch was forwarded to Pretoria
last night and a further cabinet meet
Ing has been callcu for Tuesday. The
ministers were much surprised that
Kruger had not sent any reply to their
dispatch of last Friday, but ho seems
to have delayed Il deliberately to en-
barrass his enemies, as ii Is expected
today.
