African Republic, that such is likely to
be the case, though both sides may be

Speaker says;
Unfortunately neither in Downing

preciatcd. The consequence is that ev-
cry day the situation becomes more dan
gcrous and may yet see the two races
locked in sancuinary struggle simply
because the leading men on both sides
have failed to keep sufficient command
over their own temperS and those OF
their immediate supporters"

London, Aug 2S.-ThouCh no actual
developments have apparently taken
place since the Transvaal situation was
previously reviewed in these dispatches.
public interest in the crisis has been won
dcrfully quickcned, This is due to the
dawnng realization that Great Britain is
making the most methodical preparations
for war. The utter lack of official news
and the serious outlook have made the
week one of tension. Contradictory re-
ports from home and abroad have -four
ished. and on the strength of these the
newspapers have seesawed from peace
to war and vice versa.
The most conservative opinion is that
the Beers will ultimately back down,
but there are no signs, judging from the

CHAMBERLAIN SPEAKS OUT.


important Utterauccs by Secretary
of State mt birmingham.
birmingham, England, Aug. %. - In
throwing open his own gardens here to
the members Of the St Bartholomew
ward Liberal Unionists Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain. secretary Of state for the
colonies, was drawn into the most inn
portant speech on the Transvaal situa-
ton he has made since the adjournment
of parliament %,
asked. Cries Of "The Transvaal." fol-
lowed
"Yes," he replied, 81 know there is
one subject which is very deep in all your
hearts and about which l cannot talk or
say much lest l do harm. That is the
relation of our race with the Transvaal
government. I wish that I could tell you
that the difficulties existing for so many
years between her majesty's government
and the olgarchy in Pretoria, which has
assumed such nm acute form during the
last few years. were happily settled, but
unfortunately that is not Yet in my
power AS You know, for three months
we have been negotiating. President
Kruger has made, perhaps, some little
progress. but cannot truly say that the
crisis is passed.
"presdent Kruger procrastinates in
his reply. He dribbles each reply like
water from squeezed sponge. His Of
fers are accompanied with conditions
which he knows to be impossible or he
refuses to allow lis to make satfsfac-
tory investigation Of their nature.
Il do not think it will be denied that
we have exhibited patience unparalleled
in the relations between paramount
and a subordinate state. The situation
is too flaught with danger, it is too
strained, for indefinite postponement.
The knot must be loosened, to use MIR,
Bafour's words, or else we shall have
to find other ways Of untying it.
"If we are forced to do that, then |
would repeat now words used by Lord
Salisbury in the house of lords. l say
that if forced to make further prepara-
tions. If this delay continues much lon
ger. we shall not hold ourselves limited
by what we have already offered. but,
having taken this matter in hand. we
will not let go until we have secured
conditions which, once for all, will es-
tablish us as the paramount power in
South Africa"
