GREAT BRITAIN'S NOTE.
Newsp pers of Cape Town Consider the
Document Both Generous and Con-
clliatory-. Reply to Be Given.

PRETORIA, Sept. IA communlca-
ton has been received from the i'm
perial government stating that, al
though anxious for prompt reply, the
imperial authorities do not desire to
tie the Transvaal authorities down to
IS hours.
The reply will possibly come before
the volksraad Thursday. The decision
of the executive will undoubtedly be
influenced by the action of the Orange
free State.
The government is still willing to
attend the joint commission originally
proposed.
The Transvaal war Office denies any
knowledge of reported offer of 10, 600
Irish Americans to fight against Great
Britain.
President Kruger and the executive
council met here Wednesday evening
20 consider the reply to the British sec
rotary of state for the colonies, Mr..
Chamberlain. They are still confer
ring by telegraph with the Orange Free
State. The decision is anXiously await
ed by the crowds outside the executive
| building.
CAPE Town, Sept. 14.-The report as
to a time limit of 4S hours arose from
the fact that the British diplomatic
agent at Pretoria, Conyngham Greene,
in presenting Mr.. Chamberlain's dis
patch expressed hope that a reply
would be given by the Transvaal gov
eminent by Thursday.
The Cape Times and the Cape Argus
both consider the British note gener-
ous and conciliatory, and all papers,
including the Krugerite organs, as
sumo that the Transvaal will comply
with the British demands.
1t is believed that the Orange Free
State volksraad will be summoned to
consider the situation.
Military developments continue, and
the work of preparation for emergen-
| cies goes on. Upon the arrival of the
next batch of British troops the head
will be transferred to Kimberly,
whittier a battery will proceed to the
| diamond mines.
1t is asserted in Afrikander circles
| here that the Transvaal government
will accept the British note leaving the
question of suzerainty on the basis of
| the convention of 1884
A dispatch from Pietermaritzburg
capital of NataD says that the Out
landers' council expresses great dissat-
isfaction with the British note, claim
ing that the imperial authorities are
willing to accept inadequate conces-
sions in order to avoid war;

that the person who was arrested
OeviyeD is a citizen of Hayti, and he
seeks to know what disposition shall
be made of him upon his return to the
