CONFLICTING REPORTS
One Correspondent Says That No For

ANOTHER SAYS THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF French. Russians and Gcrmnus
Now En- Route 10 tho Trnnsvnnl
TO Enlist Against britain.

London, January 2i..-The correspondent
OF the Times at Lourenzo Msrquez telc-
graphing Tuesday says; The wholesale
expulsion Of British subjects now remaiu-
ing in the Transvaal is expected next week
Schultz, military commandsnt OF the Rand,
is maintaining his reputation as a vindic~
tive official. His latest move was an at
tempt 10 break open the vaults of the

1t appears that all the bridges on the

and the bridges on the Free State line
have been undermined SO as 10 enable
them to be destroyed at moments notice
in the event Of Beer retreat.
The French liner Gironde has arrived
here crowded with military looking for
eigners bound for the Transvaal. These
include fifty Russian ambulance men. with
Germans, Frenchmen. Italians and Greeks
Herr Potts, the Transvaal consul general
here. has arranged for their conveyance TO
Pretoria by a special train.
The Capetowu correspondent OF the
Times, telegraphing Monday, says: In
view OF the exaggerated ideas current that
the Beers have been largely helped by for
eign military advisers, 1t is worth while
quoting the statement OF a gentleman who
has Just arrived from Deagoa bay. He
says that the Beers are at a loss TO know
what to do and that the advice rendered
them. being based upon opposing ideas of
tactics, is valueless and only leads, when
adopted, to loss of life. 1t appears that
during General Joubert's Illness General
Schalkbergcr wired to Or. Leyds to send
men able TO shoot straight aud experts to
make explosives and TO work mines, but
not useless advisers. From what ] saw
myself of the Boer forces at the outbreak
OF the war know that the Beers have
q profound distrust and contempt for Euro
pean military methods and with the ex
ception of Commandant Albrecht they
have practically no foreign officers, even
in the artillery. The Transvaalers how
ever acknowledge that they have learned
several useful tactical devices from the
Free Staters, and especially in making en-
trenchments in least expected places and
at the foot OF kopjes. instead Of only on
ridges.

VIII SecrcfnrN. HnN

with Secretary Hay.
Washington, January 2S--Montague
White, consul general TO the South Afri-
can republic in London. called at the state
department today and had conference
with Secretary Hay. There was an utter
absence Of formality about Mr. Whites
visit No appointment had been made 80
far as could be learned and the presenta-
ton Of his card was. the 1rst notice that
the secretary had from anything but tho
newspapers that Mr.. White was IN Wash
ngton,
Nevertheless the visitor was admitted
al once and spent nearly an hour in close
conversation with Secretary Hay Al the
beginning Mr. White put himself on
safe footing by informing the secretary
that he had no credentials and no official
character whatever, He frankly admitted,
however, that be was in the Unitetl states
for the purpose of aiding his couutrymen
to enlist the sympathy Of the American
people. The secretary was much inter
ested in Mr.. Whites statements. as shown
by he fact that he accorded him an hour
interview in tho busiest moments Of the
day. The subject Of conversation was the
state of affairs in the Transvaal aud no
statement of what passed beyond that was
obtainable.
