Beers Will Sacrifice the City for Strategic
Reasons.
NEW YORK, March Montagu
White, Transvaal representative in this
country, confirms the rumors that the
Beers will utterly destroy Johannesburg
if forced to do so. Pretoria could not
be defended, he says, if Johannesburg
were permitted to remain. In letter
to The World Mr.. White says:
Personally, hope johannesburg
will be spared because have considera-
BILE property at stake in that city, but
cannot see how, for strategic reasons, it
can be left as a base from which the
English can operate against Pretoria.
1t certainly seems that the Beers must
raze and destroy that beautiful city.
"The cover which the buildings would
afford, the vast amount of supplies that
could be stored there, its proximity to
Pretoria-35 miles-its water supply
and hundred other things would make
it most
Invaluable to an Invading Force
bent upon taxing Pretoria. To leave
the city unframed would be like pro-
viding drawingroom accommodations
for her majesty's soldiers.
"For these reasons I think the de-
struction of Johannesburg would be
necessary as military measure for the
Beers. The loss involved would be at
least 100000 and of course the
setback and paralysis of Johannesburg's
industry would be infinitely greater.
hope, therefore, that something may be
done to satisfy the legitimate aspira-
lions of both belligerents before such a
catastrophe to civilization happens.
'But the Beers will sacrifice johann
nesburg and it's beautiful buildings and
modern adjuncts to civilization if they
are forced to do it. Then it will be a
fight to the last drop of blood for the
possession Of Pretoria"

the county and the publication OF the
January board meeting proceedings
were introduced in evidence. The
modified contract appears in these
minutes.
Mr.. Wellman testified that he still
has financial interest in the contract,
and that since the assignment of the
contract he has watched the work, and
has been ready to assist if needed,
On cross examination, Mr.. Young
asked whether the witness present in
terest in the contract did not consist in
getting his money out of it. Witness
replied that he had greater interest
than this, as he had to see that the
contract was properly carried out. He
was in consultationwith Mr.. Fleener
by mail nearly every week, regarding
the progress of the work.
The defense rested at $50 o'clock,
and the arguments were begun, Mr.,
Young speaking first. ,Mr. Childs made
the main argument for the defense, and
the plaintiff had the closing argument.

The Tribune from London says: DR..
Jameson was down with enteric fever
and critically i'll when Ladysmith was
relieved. A private dispatch received
here by a prominent South African
states that he has rallied and is likely
to recover. DIR. Jameson was anxious
to have a military command in the
campaign, but as the leader of the raid
he was excluded from the service for
political reasons and was not welcomed
when he arrived at Ladysmith a few
days before the investment of the town.
His opportunity came. When the gar
rison was fever-stricken he reverted to
medical practice and did 10 mems
work in caring for the fever patients
and the wounded soldiers.
