days. The governors of the states which
contributed colored troops to the volun-
teer army in the war with Spain have
been requested by the secretary Of war

who, I may say. will never give up until
they have either attained 1t or been wiped
out of existence by. the English forces.
This Is why 1 say there will be war. The
story sent out that General Joubert has
found that the reserve shells in the Pre-
toria forts are ineffective is probably
true. A partial knowledge of the fact has
been known for some time in British
ministerial circles. There will be no
trouble in replacing the ammunition,
however. General Jouberr, know per-
sonally, is opposed to war. He will lead
the Boer forces wien war comes. He is
a fighter and a man of courage, and will
simply be a sacrifice to his ambition.
When the blow is struck 1t will be a fatal
one in the Transvaal. The British have
for months been massing troops and are
practically ready at this time, II neces-
sity demands immediate action"
Mr.. Wilson takes issue with the sug-
gestion that Hon. Joseph Chamberlain is
in any way responsible for the trouble.
