Many residents of Cape Town have

The ministerial party also worked its
hardest TO prevent the ovation to
Conyngham Greene Oh his arrival
from Pretoria. but failed. The volun-
teers are 1000 strong and have eleven
pieces of artillery. The calling out of
the Cape Colony volunteers is sup
plemented by Il decision 10 raise 1000
more volunteers in Cape Colony and
1000 in Natal. Thus the total strength
of the volunteer forces in both place.

are attacking Nryburg. y Cape Town
paper has Il dispatch from the Orange

Beers are taking advantage of the
presence of Il large gathering OF dis
loyal farmers at NryburG celebrating
Nachtmaal to attack the town. hoping
that the farmers will assist them
against the British. The same dis
patch says that the British force ut
Kimberley * confident of its ability TO
hold out. but urges the immediate dis
patch of n relief force.
What Will the Dutch Farmers Do:
This question of a possible rising OF
the Dutch farmers in the northern por-
tons Of Cape Colony is very impor-
tant. The Daily Mails correspondent
at ColeShurg has been inquiring re-
CardnE the matter. and on the whole
thinks the chances are against riS-
ing He bases his opinion on the pros
pect of good crops after four lean
years. which he believes will predis-
pose the farmers to peace. Neverthe-
less there i serious dislOyalty and
much anti-Rritish agitation in these
districts. while the Free State Beers
threaten an immediate invasion of
