TRIED TO PREVENT WAR.
Prominent Beers Advised Against Hos
ttlities With Great Britain.

EEOm1nenG fSOorS AuV1SeQ Against ktOs-
Utilities With Great Britain.
LONDON, Aug. 24.-The government
has published number Of confidential
letters from prominent politicians In
England and at the Cape to Mr.. Steyn
and other prominent leaders of the Free
State. The most interesting documents
In the collection are letters from Sir
Henry DeVilliers, chief justice of Cape
Colony, and Mr.. Merriman, who was
lately in the Cape cabinet and is now
leader of his party in the colony, which
sympathizes with the republics strongly.
As both writers supported the Afr1-
kander cause, they were most sympa-
pathetic in urging President Kruger
during the months preceding the out
break of hostilities to grant reasonable
concessions to the Outlanders.
DeVilliers, who was one OF the COM
missioners to sign the convention OF
1881, goes so far as to declare that he
would never have advised the British
government to grant the Independence
of the Transvaal if he could have fore
seen Kruger's narrow, oligarchtal pol
10y.
Merriman writes in the same strain.
He directly warns the president that
continued denial of political rights to
the Outlanders must provoke an ex-
plosion, and draws vivid picture OF the
evils which the reactionary attitude OF
the dominant party in the Transvaal
was bringing upon the country.
