London. Sept. 2a.-Dtspatches from
the Cape continue the story Of military
activity in the Transvaal. Natal and
Cape Colony. The Beers are concen-
trating in the country contiguous to
Natal where the first outbreak of hos
tilities is likely to occur. Large COR
tingents of burghers are converging
from various parts on this probable
battlefield.
The excitement continues at fever
heat. The commandment general has
issued a notice calling the command
ers to- assemble ait a specified spot on
the Natal border. The commanders
cheekmated the Jameson raiders Will
embark on trains for the frontier to-
night.
There is great activity at the war
office at Pretoria. The artillery re-
serves have been called ~outs the ar
rangements to defend the frontier are
now complete, and the work of equip
ment is proceeding rapidly. The bur-
ghers are congregating in the town
ready to join their commands which,
however, have strict orders not to ap-
proach too near the frontier, and to
avoid a collision with the British forces.
The Boer forces are gathering at
\ their bases Of action Al short distance
from the border, such as Harrisnlit1.
Eolksrust, Vrybid and Bremersdorp.
Burghers Ordered to Return.
From Bloemfontein, Orange Free
State it IS said on reliable authority
that at secret session the raad has
passed a stringent commando law.
Burghers who have left the Orange
Free State recently have been ordered
| to return in default of $500 fine, five
/ years imprisonment and the confisca-
! ton of their property,
/ From the British side come a. few
/ further particulars Of military move
ments of a minor character, but all
/ pointing to preparations to safeguard
T, the frontier line in the event OF war,
until a sufficient force is assembled to
| take the offensive. A dispatch to the
Times from Pretoria says:
/ ct is generally expected that a state
of war will be proclaimed at any mo-
ment. President Kruger granted me
an Interview today and declared he
I had done all possible for the sake of
/ peace He had accepted Mr.. Chamber
lainfs own offer of a common inquiry,
! but Mr.. Chamberlain deliberately broke
| the thread of negotiations, troops
We're massed on all sides and war was
forced upon him. 1t was impossible to
accede to the dispatch of the 18th.
Kruger Blames Chamberlain.
"Such a course would have given the
land and people into the hands of
strangers. AS it was his seven years
proposal would be accorded to the field
/ comets books. enfranchfse $4,000 per-
sons which was more than thes whole
number Of the old burghers, yet not
one has come forward to take it. The
| Outlanders never really wanted the
| franchise. From the first they refused
/ to go on the commandos and register
ed themselves aliens. Afterwards
Lord Loeb secured exemption for them
\ on the same terms as the Portuguese.
He wished to Indignantly deny Mr..
| ChamberIain's charge that he had
broken his promise made during the
4 discussion preceding the Pretoria con-
vention of 1881 that he would treat
new immigrants equally with the old
burghers. He had always been ready
to treat them so and they had always
refused.
