LONDON. Dec 24.-The situation in
Cape Colony resulting from the Boer inva-
sion is becoming daily more serious
British sympathizers at Cape Town are
convinced that only the most determined
methods will eounteraet the growing Boer
sentiment in the invaded territory. and it
is question whether a general Dutch up
rising can now be prevented.
The British forces in Cape Colony are
too small TO cope with a general rebellion,
ana it is understood that General kitch-
ener will be given all the endorsements
he demands as soon as they can be sent to
South Africa.
A peremptory order has been received at
army headquarters in London, instrueting
the authorities to prepare all the avaiia-
bic cavalry fer service in South Africa.
Steps were at once taken to comply with
this order.
Dispatches from Cape Town contain the
most serious reports concerning the Cape
Colony situation The Dutch n that part
of English territory are said g be highly
eIate6 over the invasion of the Beers from
the Orange Free State and 5heir almost
Unchecked progress southwark
The statement is now made openly that
all the Dutch IN the Victoria West Dis
trict viii join De Vets burghers and it
is Relieved that within few days the Boer
forces VII be increased by many hundreds.
If not several thousands. The Initiative
course taken by the Victoria West Dutch
viii inspire the Dutch in other parts of
the colony, it is feared.
Already there are Indications that the
Boer re-enforcenents viii hamper the
lines Of communication, which are practi-
caIly unguarded because OF the insufficient
number OF troops at the disposal of the
British commanders. The destruction of
these lines would be almost calamity
for the British. and, before they could be
restored. the entire colony might be in ae-
tive rebellion.
The dispatches from Cape Town state
that it is now suspected that the Beer
force whict is reported 10 be travelling
from Zoutpan's Drift is not made up OF
De weFs men, but is composed Of Cape
Dutehmes who are Fastening to join the
Invaders.
