London, Oct. 1.-The most interest ing announcement in connection with the Transvaal crisis to-day is that the
 chancellor of the exchequer, Rt. Hon. Sir Michael Hicks Beach, has already
 sanctioned the provisional expenditure of a3,OOO,O00, and that the government will not exceed that limit without au-
 thority of parliament, which will be

 The Press Association learns that the despatch drawn up by the cabinet on Friday was still unsent up to this evening. On the other hand a tele- gram from Brussels gives, from well informed source, the news that Dr. Leyds, the representative of the South African republic, has received confirmation of the report that Presi- dent Kruger has addressed an ultima tum to Great Britain demanding the withdrawal If the British forces from the frontier within forty-eight hours and that 1t was delivered on Monday.
