Seg1n leemos en- la prensa de Ma

con tanto interes Sc yiene ocupando de
cuantO concierne q las Clases Pasivas
naturales de las de un dia colonias es-

camino de conseguir un verdadero
triunfo, hacienda que Sc reconozca q
aquellas classes, que desean conservar
su antigua naciOnalidad, ell perfectfsi
mo derecho que tienen q seguir disfru-
tando sus derechOs pasivos
En- uno de los tltimos Consoles que
han celebrado los ministries, Sc acord6
nombrar una -ponencia, para que die
famine la forma en- que Sc ha de feco-
nocer la oiudadanfa a los pasivos de
referencia. A esa ponencia, compuesta
por los senores ministries de Estado Y
Hacienda, ha sido agregado, para au
xiliarla en- sus tunciones, ell senior sub
secretario del primero de dichos mi
nistros, persona competentfsima y muy
conocedor de este asunto, que va ha
tratado en- otra OCCASION con otro
motive
Este senor, que esta perfectamente
convencido de que 10 hecho hasta hoy
con esos desventurados pasivos es in
justo inhnmano, esta muy bien i'm
presiOnado y dispuesto a hacer cusnto
en- su manG este, para limpiar a Espa
ma de esa mancha de ingratitud para
con los que la fueron leales, con que
aleunas POGO meditadas Reales 6rdenes
del ministerio de Hacienda la pusieron
en- ell case de ser considerable.
Los trabajos de la ponencia, de los
que nos prometemos los mejores resul
tados, Sc nos asegura que Sc ilevaran a
efectO sin levantar mano, pues asf 10

varios recuerdos relatives al desgracia

en- Europa un estueIzo supreme para
conseguir aquel santo objetivo
Conocida es la lfgida piedad del PIE
sidente kruger La Biblia es su Iibro
predilecto y la comenta explca
veces de m0do verdaderamente original.
A un interlocut0r que confesaba que
no enteDdfa ell misterlo de la Hantisma

Sermoneado sgriamente por su igno
rancia, Sc 10 explic6 en- la siguiente
fOrma
Isl tomas una bujfa, tqu6 tienes :
Pues tienes ell sebo. que es ell Padre !;
la mecha, que es ell HJo, y la llama,
que es ell Espiritu-Santo.
Son tres cosas distintas y, sin EN-
barge, admites que fOrma una sola
cosa la bujfa,

de 10 que la Biblia afirma %
Sobre SOS eostumbres, Mr.. Stead
relata 10 siguiente:
La .sobriedad de Kruger es proven
bial y Sc sabe que ~ POGO indulgente
con los que abIsan del alcohol. TOma
cafe solo en- los banquetes oflci les, y
para brindar nunca utiliz0 mas lfquido
que la leche.
Apartandose de las costumbres
sudafricanas, Kruger ha tenido cons,
tante empeflo en- que en- su casa Sc oh
serven los principles de la cocina clasica
holandesa. Come muy de prisa y 10
efect1a tres veces al dia. Toma por
la manana un ligero desayuno, al me
dio dia hace una comida fuerte Y por
la noche cena frugalmente. La comida
principal la hace, p0r regla general,
solo, pOr no ser cOStnmhre que las sc
fioIas de la casa, conan al mismo
tempo que los h0mbres, que 10 efec
t1an antes que elias.
Kruger rige su casa con mano ie
