THEY MEANFICHT.
The TranSvaal's Answer TO Eng
lands Note is Politely Mega
tive and Defiant.
THE ENGLISH CABINET TO MEET SOON.
III IS Probable That the Last Hope Of
Peace Has Vanished and Diplom-
acy Has Ended.
Inc 1ransvaal Government Rcpudiates
Suzerainty and the Right OF Inter-
ference la Internal Affairs and
Adheres to Franchbe.

LONDON Sept 1S.-Thc reply of the
Iransvaal government to Mr.. Cham
bcrlain's latest note is said TO cover
nine pages. 1t is eminently of the
negative and inconclusive" character,
which Mr.. Chamberlain declared
would compel the imperial government
to consider the situation afrcsh. 1t
practically repudiates suzerainty. re-
vcrts tothc seven years franchise, and
declines to give equality to the Dutch
and English languages in the volks-
raad. In short it is politely negative
and defiant. The full text may not be
available for day or two, but it will
not change the aspect of affairs. The
cabinet Will probably meet on Wednes-
day or Thursday to consider the next
step.
The Morning Post says:
"Thc Beers mean to fight That is
the plain English Of it,"
The Standard says:
The Transvaal note is unsatisfac-
tory and indeed a dangerous compost
ton. 1t might be going too far to say
that the last hope of peace has vanish
ed or that diplomacy has said its
final word, but it is idle TO deny that
the rulers of the Transvaal have
brought their country very close to
the brink of disaster which the British
government done its best to avert.
The Daily Chronicle says: I'VE re-
gret that the Beers, by rejecting a fair
offer, made in fair language, have
taken line giving fresh points TO the
argument of their enemies, that Presi-
dent Kruger is a shifty and impractical
bic politician, fl only to be spoken to
across line of bayonets."
The Pretoria correspondent of the
Morning Post, in his summary of the
Transvaal reply, says the Transvaal
repudiates suzerainty and the right OF
interference, and denies that either
State Attorney Smuts or the govern
nent offered a five years franchise
otherwise than on Conyngham Gre mes
assurance that the imperial govern
ment would withdraw its claim of a
rirht to interfere in the Transvaars
internal affairs. The correspondent
adds The reply anticipates final al
ternativc of a British note by saying
that further suggestions on the lines
indicated are vain"
All the dispatches from South Africa
Monday morning talk of the immi-
nencc Of hostilities and the prepara-
ton for them. In johannesburg 1T
seems to be taken for granted that the
Orange Free State has approved Presi-
dent Kruger's note, and promise active
assistance in the event of war.
An Official telegram posted at Volks-
rust says that the Transvaal, with the
assent of the Orange Free State, repu-
dates British suzerainty and adheres
to the seven years franchise.

Vanderbilt, younger son, is the favored
heir of Cornelius Vanderbilt. lie was
called home Saturday, although adj
