the following statement to the public;
The national officers net in Wash

Of the majority of the representatives

render some assistance to the Beers in
the Transvaal. It was agreed TO render
any assistance compatible with our
loyalty as American citizens, and which
would not interfere with the neutral
fty laws Of the United States. We are
impressed with the splendid precedent
shown by the republic in going to war
with Spain to free Cuba from the OPP
preston of that country. We believe
that American sympathy is with the
Beers and that we are acting in ac-
COrdance with the principles which
urged the United States TO carry the
flag in a struggle for the liberation Of
the gallant Cubans. Our people would
flock to the arms Of America If the
government marched to the assistance
OF the South Africans.

Were this nation the antagonist Of
