THE BOERS MUST SUBMIT.
ENGLAND Resolved Not to Tolerate
Transvaal Abuses.
mr. Chamberlain's Significant Speech-
The Harm Caused by the Beers to
British Power In South Africa.

BIRMINGHAM, England (By Cable).-Joseph
Chamberlain, Secretary OF State for the
Colonies, addressing the Unionists OF this
city reviewed carefully the Transvaal ques.
tion.
In the course Of his speech he said that.
owing to the enormous military prepara.
tlons Of the Government Of the South Atri
can Republic, Great Britain had been COM
PEELED to increase the British garrison In
Cape Colony and Natal, entailing an addi.
| tIonal expenditure OF S2, 500 900 annually.
'If the reforms which Lord Ripon pro.
posed in 1894 had been accepted" said the
| Minister, there would have been no raid
and no crisis at the present. But the raid
tied the hands OF the Government and pre-
vented the application Of pressure"
Mr.. Chamberlain said that the Govern.
ment had tried to establish friendly rela-
tions with President Kruger, but all their
advances had been received with contempt.
He then proceeded to eulogize Sir Alfred
British High Commissioner for South
Africa. The Government accepted full re.
sponsibility for the actions OF that official.
As for the counter-proposals OF Mr. Kruger
they.did not constitute even fair install.
ment OF reform.
After denouncing In the strongest terms
the attitude and actions OF the Beers, Mr..
Chamberlain, with great deltberatton and
emphasis, added:
"The Transvaal's enormous secret SER
vice fund has procured 1t friends and ad-
yocates in every country. The way the
British subject there Is treated IS not only
menace to them, but interferes with our
prestige among the natives, who now re-
gard the Beers and not the British es the
paramount Power.
Besides the breaches of the London Con-
yention, the Trapsvaal Is fagrantIy violat-
ing the equality that convention was In
tended to secure. Its misgovernment is
fostering sore, poisoning the whole atmos-
phere OF South Africa. The Dutch In Cape
Colony and Natal would be In the happiest
condition; but SO long as the disease OF
hatred and suspicion prevails In the Trans
vaal 1t Is impossible to stop the contagion.
"Four times since indepen den CO was
granted we have been on the verge OF war
with the Transvaal. It Is erroneous to
cay the British Government wants war,
but It is equally erroneous to suy that the
Government will draw back now that 1t
oas put Its hand to the plow.
"We hope the efforts that are now being
made will lead to an amicable arrange
ment, for Great Britain only desires JUS
tice, but there comes time when patience
can hardly be distinguished from weak
ness, and when moral pressure becomes
farce that cannot be continued without
loss OF self-respect. trust that time may
never come In this instance, but II It does
Brltons will insist upon finding the means
to secure result essential to the peace OF
South Africa"
The speech was warmly applauded.
