A WAR IS
INEVITABLE
In the Opinion Of Boer Officials
at Pretoria.
PRESIDENT KRUGER PREPARING.

Has Stocked the Presidency with Am-
pie Provisions to Secure His own
Person From Privation-He Cannot
hope For Aid From Europe.
London, Aug. 31-The Pretoria cor
respondent of The Morning Post says
The Boer officials. after reading the
cabled reports Of Mr. Chamberlain
Birmingham speech, consider that war
is inevitable The speech had un-
doubtedly inhamed the war spirit here.
The Beers are now all armed, except
those i'm johannesburg. Their COM
missariat is fairly good. All the forts
are amply victualed. The Johannes
burg fort has been strengthened with
several quick firers.
The ammunition which Mr.. Schreiner
allowed to pass through Cape Colony
came direct to Pretoria. It was never
intended for the Orange Free State.
President Kruger does not hesitate
to express the view that war is almost
inevitable He has stocked the presi-
dency with ample supplies Of provis-
ions to secure his own person from
privation, and he is otter heard repeat
ing the SD Psalm.
The Matabeles are showing signs Of
unrest The Beers are energetically
engaged in poisoning the minds OF
the natives against the British and
they have approached the Zulu Chief
Dinizulu, who appears undecided
which cause to espouse But the Zulus
are preparing for the expected fighting
and it must be remembered that
Dinizulu was deported to st. Helena,
with several other chiefs, and kept
a prisoner there by the British for sew
eral years.
The Times says editorially this
morning; There is the best reason to
believe that the recent note Of Mr..
Chamberlain will be almost the last
occasion on which Great Britain will
ask President Kruger whether he is in
earnest in his promises Of concessions.
The note undoubtedly called for an
immediate answer, and when a reason
able time for answer has elapsed Great
Britain will no longer pay much at
tention to President Krueger's word
but will form her judgment by his ac-
tions. The Beers should bear In mind
that throughout the whole controversy
the Cologne Gazette has warned the
Transvaal that it was placing itself In
an unfavorable position, and that in
the event OF war nobody would lift a
finger to prevent the destruction of the
republic"
The Daily Mail says this morning It
learns that a large consignment OF
cartridges manufactured in England
for the Beers has recently been ship
ped through German agents.
