Waaser why Kruger Waited,
The reports fgcin ali the military
sentars SHOW that the mobilization or
aers are reeaiFed with the greatest en-
.shusiastn new Vhas Ereslaent Kruger
mas crossed t4e Ruhicon and taken the
lrrevocable step Of issuing an ulti-
matum.
The only wonder is why, if President
Kruger is resolved uponS fghting, he
has waited SO long. The explanation
seems to be that his hand has been
forced by the fact that the Beers have
got out of control, or that, if he awaited
the arrival of the British army corps,
the chances of military success for him
would be of the slimmest possible char
acter. The expiration of the tine, limit
Of the ultimatum does not leave Great
Britain much time to strengthen the
present military position, although
there are still a few troops at Durham,
Natal, available for dispatch to the
front, but the government will doubt
less now adopt the suggestion to form
the refugees from the rand into volun-
teer regiments.
Some indication Of the war Offices es-
innate of the duration of the campaign
is given by the fact that the army has
contracted for eight months supply of
bread and supplies, rendered necessary
by the absence of the bulk Of the army
service corps, whom the war Office thus
evidently calculates will be at home
again by the beginning of May.
It appears that although the war Of
fee called up 5000 reservists only the
pick of them, some 5000, will be re-
tanned with the colors.
The Westminster Gazette says: We
learn from a trustworthy source that
the British government has also des-
patched note containing stringent de-
mands which must have crossed the
Boef ultimatum.

sipation of the clouds hanging over
South Africa, when the sensational an
nouncement that the Transvaal govern
ment had handed definite ultimatum
to the British diplomatic agent in Pre-
tpria, caused rapid slump in the hopes
Of those who believe that diplomacy
will yet save the situation.
Apart from this the news tends to
show that as long as the Beers remain
inactive, Great Britain will continue to
adhere to her present persuasive
methods.
The speech of the Duke of Devon
shire, lord president of the council Of
ministers, at Sheffield, contains nothing
to confirm the assertion made by the
lingo press, that the final proposals of
British government will contain
sweeping aggressive schemes; and to
TINS extent it has oiled the waters. The
peace party even deduces from the
dukes utterances that accumulation
of President Kruger's proposals of a
5-year franchise, minus the suzerainty
proviso, would lead to such negotia-
tions as would ensure peace.
A Great Demonstration.

there is no mistaking the significance Of
