ADVICE KRUGER IGNORED
URGED IN VAIN BY AFRIKANDER LEAD
ERS TO GRANT SOMETHING TO
THE OUTLANDERs.

Copyright: 1900: BY The New-York Tr,bunel
[BY CABLE TO THE rRIBUNE.l
London. Aug. "a l a m.-The Government
has published q number Of confidential letters
from prominent politicians in England and
at the Cape to President Steyn and other
members OF the TransvaaI and Free State
governments. The correspondence includes
letters from Dr.. Clark NJ. P. and John Ellis,
NJ P. in addition 70 those Of Henry La
bouchere. which latter have already been printed
IN Truth" But the most interesting docu-
ments IN the collection are letters from Sir
Henry De ViIiers. Chief Justice Of the 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 re-
pubhcs strongly. As both writer's supported
the Afrfkander cause, they were most emphatic
IN urging President Kruger during the months
preceding the outbreak OF hostilittes to grant
reasonable concessions to the Outlanders De
vIIhers who was one Of the Commissioners to
sign the Convention Of 1881 goes so far as 10
declare that he would never have advised the
British Government TO grant the independence
Of the Transvaal II he could have foreseen Mr..
Kr0gers narrow, oligarchical policy Mr Mer-
rimen writes in the same strain. He directly
warns the President that continued denial OF
political rights TO the Outlanders must provoke
an explosion and draws vivid picture Of the
evils WE1ch the reacCiOn6rV attitude OF the dom
tnant party IN the Transvaal was bringing upon
the country.
The whole correspondence viii doubtless sup
ply material in the coming general election to
Ministerial speakers who will maintain tfat by
the admission OF Transvaal advocates themselves
war was inevitable unless Mr Kruger altered
his system
The mystery Of De Wet deepens During the
last few days IT has been frequently stated that
he was heading past Pretoria intending TO make
for the bush veldt northeast Of the capital, and
eventually join his forces 10 those Of Botha- IN
the Barberton district Last evening however.
General Roberts sent a dispatch TO the War
Ofce announcing that while General Baden
Powell had fought successful engagement
with Grobler's rear guard some thirty miles
north of Pretoria, De Wet had given up the at
tempt TO penetrate 20 the Eastern Transvaal as
hopeless and was now attempting TO get back
to the Orange Free State with a few Of his
mounted men According to the Commander-in-
Chief. De Vets force is a mere remnant OF his
original column, and does not amount to more
than three hundred men, while most Of the guns
have been buried
