town, approved by the commanding Of

have command of twice as many Brit

The reasons back of this lavish dis.
play are probably a fear of native ris.

visibility of showing Europe that Great
Britain is prepared to resent any reac.

the action of the American department
of state and the friendly statements of
President Mckinley and Secretary OF
State Hay published here are heartily
welcomed as a happy return for Great
Britain's refusal to sanction continental
intervention in the war between the
United States and Spain. AS the Beers
failed to attack Natal, when the colony
was vulnerable, it is beginning to be
felt that they are pursuing deliberate
policy of waiting for the British pro
posals, remaining in the meantime on
the defensive in the hope of thus win.

perhaps the support of other nations,

If they await the advance Of General
Sir Redvers Butler, it is conceivable
that peace will not be broken during

prove the case and should the alleged
