spe@ch of BOer Leader said to Cause
Much UneaHIness Among
KRmrs.

CAPETowN, July 2.-(special Cable
gram to The Bee)-The Cape Times in
an article entitled "Combustibles, refers
to a speech delivered by Mr.. Beyers at
Potchefstroom, in which he said that the
British were trying to exterminate the
Kafir." The paper remarks:
IF the impressions which these utter
ances are intended to convey become gem
eral among the natives throughout South
Africa, and II the resentment and ex-
asperatio they are calculated to engender
continue to be recklessly famed by the
Boer leaders In this country and the radI-
cal leaders in Great Britain, we shall have
a graver reckoning than Natal is now
writing on the slate OF history. terrible
and deplorable as this is The native COM
munity throughout South Africa are
watching the events in Natal with the
keenest interest. and their sympathy
naturally goes out 10 their fellow coun-
trymen IN trouble If this sympathy is
transformed into passionate resentment
against the government by reckless mis-
representations and mis-statements, the
ultimate consequences will certainly be dis
ast-ous"
The Cape Times states that II is already
receiving anonymous communica tions from
natives couched In a half-hysterical, half
menaeing tone.
