LONDON, July 22.-Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain's statement in Parliament that the
mere granting of a seven-years franchise law
will not settle the Transvaa crisis exctes no
new apprehension. 1t IL evident that strug-
gle. possibly prolonged, will take place on the
question OF guarantees and this will probably
take the matter over the prorogation of Par
lament There is the best reason to believe
that MIR. Chamberlains object is to obtain
guarantees in black and white from the Boer
Government and at the first violation Of any
of them to hurl an ultimatum at President
Kruger. One OF the guarantees will be an
undertaking not to initiate legislation altering
the franchise and representation laws without
previous notice to the paramount power. The
Boer executive and Parliament will in all
probability detect in this an abrogation of the
republics independence in internal affairs. and
upon this question the decisive fight may take
place.
1t is not yet generally known here that the
British Government addressed friendly in

Governments respecting the shipments OF
arms and ammunition to the Transvaal and

that this Government should lay itself open

possible to prevent the ship sailing, but
whether the cargo gets beyond Delagoa Bay is
quite another matter. England at present Is
