THE WAR IN AFRICA.
Further Security Needed for
Costs of British isles.

London Jan, 81, 4 a. ut is
now known that the cabinet devoted
much of it's discussions on Saturday
to the mobilization Of the feet.
until further security to the home
coast has been obtained by naval pre-.
parations. the Eight division shall
not be sent to South Africa.
The mobilization of reserve war
ships, if such course shall be deter.
mined upon, would be of the utmost
importance There is nothing in the
intelligence possessed by the public
to cause the cabinet prolonged dis
cuss1on of this matter and the infer
ence is that the feet may be mobil
lied as a general warning to other
countries to keep their hands off the
Transvaal question, or the ministry
may have definite knowledge that the
neutral powers purpose to take some
advantages elsewhere while England
