Preparing for Eyentualities.
Pretoria, Sept Sin the voksraad
Thursday on Mr.. Coasters interpella-
ton of the government regarding the
British troops on the border and the
stoppage of ammunition consigned to
the Transyaai, State Secretary F.. w.
Reitz said he had called the previous
day on the British diplomatic agent,
Conygham Greene, and had asked him
what reply the government could give
in the Yolksraad regarding the alleged
masslng of British troops on the border
and whether Greene would commune
cate with the British commissioner,
Sir Alfred Miner. The reply from
Greene, he continued, was received
Thursday in the following terms:
Dear Mr.. Reitz:-The following is
Sir Alfred Miners reply to the tele-
gram which sent him at your request:
I do not know to what Reitz refers
when he alludes to the massing of
troops. This must be the British troops
in South Africa, the present
number of which is no secret but it
is matter Of common knowledge that
they are here in order to protect Brit
ish interests and make provision
against eventualities.
Coester and other members then
made violent speeches declaring they
could not understand Sir Alfred Mil
ner's reply since the Transvaal had
never threatened the English colonies.
1T is time" exclaimed Coester, "for
the Transyaal to prepare for eventual
tiles Tosen, who declared Miners
reply was tatamOunt to a declaration

cornet of the Pieterhoff district stating
that the people there would lEse in re-
bellion if President Kruger went to

called Tosen to order saying the Jam
ison raiders ought to have been
hanged.
President Kruger said: The aliens
have been offered equal rights with the
burgers, but have refused them. Cham
berlain is striving to get franchise,
which the outlanders do not want, but
what he really desires is possession of
the Transyaal. The burgers are will
ing to concede much for the sake of
peace, but will never sacrifice their in
dependence"
After eulogizing Gladstone's action
of retrocession in 81 as noble deed
Kruger said that If it now came to
fighting the Almighty would be the ar
bitter. He urged the members of the
raad to show moderation, pointing out
that If the proposal for a commission
were agreed to the republic would
send delegates to further discuss mat
ters and if possible to make peace.
The speeches following the presidents
were more moderate in tone and the
raad arose without passing any resolu-
tions.
