four Ministry,
New York, October 2T.-Gloomy accounts
of the state of affairs In Cape Colony, the
Orange Colony and the Transyaal have
been received here from time to time
through private channels, but there has
been a tendency to discredit them, says
the London correspondent of the Tribune.
The announcement of Colonial Secretary
Chamberlaln's decision to proceed 20 South
Africa In order Ia examine on the spot
the problems presented by the termination
OF the war and the settlement Of affairs
In the new British colonies consequently
caused the utmost surprise in political cir
oieS
II is tolerably certain, declares the CORE
spondcnt, that II the situation had not been
one OF peril the colonial secretary would
have left the whole matter absolutely In
the hands of Lord Miner. The feeling be-
tween the British aud Dutch people In Cape
Colony just now is said 10 be more than 1t
was ia the days before the war. The Trans
vaal and Free State colors are worn freely
In the Dutch towns Of the Cape, The loyal
lists are naturally alarmed at this state OF
affairs. Ever since Mr.. Chamberlain be-
came colonial SECRETARY lie has dlsregarded
precedent. One notable instance. which
has slight resemblance TO a master stroke
of policy now initiated by him. was his
visit last autumn 10 Malta to Inquire Into
the petition OF the Maltese against compul-
sorry adoption of the English language.
When he returned he found that the obJec-
tionable odct had been withdrawn. IL is
possible that II Is this experience which
has prompted him TO study for himself the
present position OF offairs not only M the
Cape. but in Engand's new colonies, SO as
20 be able TO initiate and carry out an I'M
perlal policy which will be best suited TO
the requirements OF tile whole Of British
South Africa.
