The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-10-02

London, Oct. From all points in
the Transvaal, Natal, and Cape Col
ony, come reports of continued military
activity on the frontiers, and while the
movement of individual commands as
yet do rot show concocted plans, it is
evident that the narrow strip of Natal,
whose apex is crowned with the omin-
ously named Mahjubi HILL will be the
center of the coming storm.
Late yesterday the Beers established
a camp at Cheeper's Mex, near Vry-
held. and they viii mobilize a great
force on the Buffalo river tomorrow,
which, the authorities at Dundee ex-
pect, will move across the border to
that spot, probably at once. 1t is be-
lieved that a conflict at this point will
certainly occur early in the week.
AT the same time the Beers are col
lecting a force of 1000 men, under the
notorious commandant, Cronje, in the
Mulmani gold fields, near Mafeking,
where Colonel Baden Powell is sta
toned.

later called on the members of his
family and his relatives, and chatted
with them for fully an hour.
He received Mayor Van GWyck at s
o'clock. Mayor Van Wyck acted as an
escort of the admiral throughout the
day. He was present in the admiraFs
room. he escorted him down to the par
lor where the Chicago delegation was
to be received, and was the only rep
resentatiye of the city in caring for its
gallant guest.
There were many callers at the Wal
dorf-Astoria who wished to send cards
to Admiral Dewey, but few were per-
mitted to do so, the admirals fatigue
being given as the reason. During the
early part Of the day the only ones who
were honored were the members of the
Chicago committee.

TransVaal crisis. saying:
War is still trembling in the balance

those deputed to safeguard the welfare

against Godsand mankind.

Signs Are ominous.
Not the faintest hint is allowed to es-
cape as to what diplomatic communica-
tons, if any, are passing between Lon
don and South Africa. So far as the
public are concerned, matters have not
advanced since Friday
1t is noticeable that not even the
Brussels agency of the Transvaal gov
eminent has yet issued Mr.. Kruger
latest note 10 the press. The silence
maintained on both sides is regarded
as ominous.
From South Africa the news is wholly
concerned with feverish preparations
for hostilities. Commandant General
Joubert is reported to have said that
he has 10000 men on the Natal border,
and that Commandant Cronje has 3, 900
on the Bechuana side

Dundee consists of 5000 men with
twenty-four guns in strong positions.
The Orange Free State is actively com

Netherlands railway for military pur-
poses, and Natal trains are being turn
ed back. Telegraph wires between
Natal and johannesburg have been cut
since FRIDAY.

In the meantime Colonel Plumraer' S
column is moving fifty miles nearer the
Transvaal frontier, and has established
telephone connections to within six
miles of Rhodesia drift, on the Linn
popo. Enthusiastic scenes at all the
railway stations have marked the adj
vance of the Natal volunteers.
Dispatches from: Mafeking announce
that Commandant Cronje, commander
of the Transvaal border police, crossed
the border and visited Chief Baralolgas
apparently with the object of melting
him to fight. The British civil COM

the committee. headed by Mayor Har-

son then said to the committee:
You all know Admiral Dewey is a
modest man, who dislikes speeches, and
who has but little patience with the
American habit Of handshaking. He
has had so many people to shake hands
with since he arrived in this hospltable
city that his hand and arm are giving
out. He has just now sent word to
me to ask that at the conclusion of the
invitation Tor him to visit our city
there be no attempt on the part Of the
committee to shake hands with him..
II know YOU would all be glad to
have him take your hand, but I am
certain you must appreciate the sftua-
ton, and I ask as personal favor that
you honor his request. To not do so
might prejudice him against Chicago,
and we are here for the purpose Of
asking him to visit us. Wait until we
get him in our own city; then we Will
