PRETORIA, Sept. l7.-The reply ol
the Government OF the South African
Republic to the latest dispatch, dated
September ~, OF the British Secretary
Of State for the Colonies, Joseph Cham
berlain. after acknowledging the re-
ceipt OF the British note, proceeds In
part as follows:
The Government deeply regrets the
withdrawal, as the Government I'M
derstands 1t, of the invitation contain
ed in the British dispatch of August
%. and the substitution in place there
Of Of an entirely new proposal.
''The proposals, now fallen through
contained in the Transvaal dispatch OF
August 10 and august 81. were ELECTED
from This Government by suggestions
made by the British diplomatic agent
In Pretoria, Conyngham Greene, to the
Transvaal State Secretary. +. W. Reitz,
suggestions which this Government
acted upon in good faith and after
specially ascegtaiping whether they
would be likely TO prove acceptable to
the British Government. This Govern
ment had by no means an intention to
raise again needlessly the question OF
its political status, but acted with the
sole object OF endeavoring. by the aid of
the local British agent, to put an end
to the strained condition OF affairs.
This was done in the shape OF a
proposal which this Government deems
both as regards its spirit and form
to be so worded as, relying upon in
timations to this Government, would
satisfy her majesty's Government.
This Government saw a difficulty as to
the acceptance of these proposals by
the people and Legislature of the
Transvaal, and also contemplated pos
sible dangers connected Herewith. but
risked them on account of a sincere
desire TO secure peace. and because as
sured by Mr.. Chamberlain that such
proposals would not be deemed a re-
fusal OF his proposals, but would be
settled on their merits.
AS regards the Joint Commission.
