In later communication, dated

Sept. 16, which We cannot pass over

The proposals made by the South
African Republic in its letter of Aug.
10 and 20 were not induced by Su%-
gCStiOnS given by the British agent
from the state attorney. as claimed.
On the contrary. the state attorney
sounded the British agent, both in
writing and in conversation. as to the
conditions to Il joint inquiry. and the
result of these communications was
the proposals made by the South
African government in these lctcti'S
1t is impossible that the South
African government could have had
any doubt as to the imperial govern
mentS answer TO the conditions
named. and my reply was actually the
same as the British agent had fore
ShadOWed to the state attorney. and
which. therefore. the South African
government must have anticipated in
making the proposals. The imperial
government also denies that its teie-
gram of Sept. substituted an entirely
new proposal for the invitation to the
joint commission of inquiry
Chamberlain then quotes the dis
patch from South Africa of Aug. 10
