ToMAKE FEW CONCESSIONS.
say. Government Policy r.
wnrds Bocrs Has NOT Changed.


Cape Town. May 7.-At the luncheon
given by citizens in honor of Sir Alfred
Miner, governor of the Transvaal and
Orange River Colony, Sir Alfred was
presented with an address supporting
his policy signed by 10000 of the resi-
dents of Cape Town.
In replying to toast Sir Alfred said.
that the royalists must resist like ,emp-
tations of the evil one the constantly
recurring panics caused by rumors that
there WAS OF would be change in the
policy of the king or government or a
weakening on their part. Neither change
nor weakening was possible. Nothing
in the whole dreary business of the war
in South Africa was more remarkable
than the manner in which the British
thruout the world had set their teeth
IN unmistakable earnestnes's to put an
end TO tho uncertainty and conflict which
We're incompatible with the ideals which
made peace and progress in South AZ
rica under the old system impossible.
An end would be made of the business
Tor once and all, and the country would
: be brought under one flag and one lib
eral and just system of law and governs
ment. No room would be left for re-
crudesence of certain ambitions OF this
he was absolutely confident; otherwise
he would not be taking his return ticket
today.
Continuing, Sir Alfred said that the
permanence of the settlement, when II
was achieved, would be in no danger
whatever. He believed many who had
been the sturdiest in their allegiance to
the old Boer flag would. when the con-
fiict was over, be equally faithful to
their new allegiance. These must be
shown that the British were not act
uated by vindictiveness, but that equal
rights and privileges would be extended
to them. The old and new must fuse
into one nation.
In conclusion Sir Alfred said that he
was leaving the Cape happier than he
was al the time of his departure for
Pretoria two months ago. He had seen
the remaining enemy's strength dimin-
fshing under the grip of Gen. Kitchener
he had also seen the first steps in es-
sablishing the new civil. government,
and the first modest steps in the re-
sumption Of industry. He felt confident
that on his return he would see great
progress and the happy inauguration Of
O new era.
