LONDON, Aug. 30.-The Pretoria cor
respondent of The Daily Chronicle says:
events have taken an alarming turn.
Great Britain, at the request Of the Uit-
landers' commission, has enlarged the
original demands of Sir Alfred Miner,
the British high commissioner, and is
adopting the view Of Cecil Rhodes that
President Kruger will never withstand
an ultimatum.
II have, however, high authority for
asserting that President Kruger, the
volksraad and the nation will >unitedly
resist an unconditional demand for giv-
ing effect to the Miner programme,
but will concede reforms on the condi-
tions already reported" &&'
