TBY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE.l
London, Aug. 10, ] a m-For the moment the
Chinese question is ecIipsed in public interest
by the report Of the Pretoria conspiracy to
murder the British officers and 10 kidna2 Lord
Roberts This is the talk Of the clubs where
the correctness of the report is not doubted,
though some cautious persons believe that the
plot may turn out to be a much smaller affair
than ii seems at first sight
The revelations Will, at any rate. strengthen
the hands Of those who have been loudly ex-
claiming for weeks past that Lord Roberts has
been absurd:y moderate in his methods, and
that there must be an end of misplaced leniency
which has only encouraged the Beers TO prolong
opposing the British advance in the field is at
end. They are in favor Of treating the
Beers now in arms as mare bandtt, instead
Of soldiers, and they argue that the pacification
Of the country viii be indefinitely postponed un-
less drastic examples are promptly made. They
say that sujpers. train wreckeTs and burgheTs
found in arms after taking the oath of al
Iegiance should be promptly shot, and their
property conhscated
The fact is, EngIishmen are beginning TO lose
Boer war. and Lord Roberts, If his own pru-
dence and sense OF justice would permit might
adopt a rigorous policy Of repression without
being condemned by public opinion at home.

CoNQUERORs TOO LENIENT.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Pretoria plot is the
theme of many editorials this morning. All the
papers decry the idea of treating the Beers too
leniently.
Examples and stern examples" says The
Daily Mall are necessary. Although we may
rot agree with Sheridau's fierce maxim. Moth
ing should be left 70 enemy except eyes To-
weep with, yet this was the conclusion Of a not
inhuman officer who thoroughly understood
war"
