NEW YORK, Aug. PA dispatch to
the Tribune from London says;
The government has published a num-
ber Of confidential letters from promi-
nent politicians in England and at the
Cape to President Steyn and members
Of the Transvaal and Free State gov
ernments. The correspondence includes
letters from DR.. Clark. NJ. P. and John
Ellis. NJ. P. in addition to those Of
Henry Labouchere. which latter have
already been printed in Truth.
But the most interesting documents
in the collection are letters from Sir
Henry De villiers. chief justice Of the
Cape Colony and Mr.. Merriman who
was lately in the Cape cabinet and is
now leader Of his party in the colony.

to sign the convention OF 1881, goes so
far as to declare that he would never

Marriman writes in the same strain.
He directly warns the president that

speakers who will maintain that by the
admission of the Transvaal advocates
themselves war was inevitable unless
Mr.. Kruger altered his system.
