IS regarded by the British Coy eminent
as tantamount 10 Il positive refusal, is
now established.
WAR IN SIGHT
The report that President Kruger has
proposed ueW terms ~ somewhat veri-
fled by the guarded comment of the
Colonial Office officials and the irrlta-
Billy displayed there. There is not the
slightest doubt that they believe war
IS nov the only way TO settle the CON
troversy. They would rar rather have
had curt, defiant answer than the
temporizins reply which the Boer pres
ideni has sent. With the former Great
Britain would have plain grounds for
a QUICK commencement OF host!lities.
Under the circumstances which. If Is
believed, now exist aggressive action
needs considerable explanation to ms

English minority. who still declare thai
war would be an outrage However. II
Mr. Chamberlain has his way. t, Is be-
heved President Kruger's counter pro-
posais will meet with scant attention.
