TWO TOUGII PEOPLE HAVE MET. SRUCER WILLING TO LIVE UNDER THE UNION JACK. SITUATION AT PRETORIA. The Special War Correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph'' (Mr. Bennett Burleigh), i'Y who has had the advantage of seeing several of the high authorities at Pretoria, telegraphs the following Boer ofiiciai view of the situation — PPvETORIA, Sunday (Noon). Although we are on the eve of war, both Republics having aimed and mobilised the I whole of their male popula.tion, good order prevails everywhere. I 1 have never seen people in such a crisis so well-behaved and rtsolute, without the least air cf boa&tfulness. Young and old are fully determined to fight to the hitter end; to say this is only to say what is due to the Boers. There are, of course, painful a-id unavoidable scenes of paiting. Whatever may be said to the contrary there are large numbers of Uitlanders. English and other nations, who have enrolled themselves and taken up arms in defence of their adopted I country. I hare seen several of the highest Govern- ment officials of the Transvaal. They all would gladly avoid war if possible, and they declare that the Republic cannot be blamed if hostilities ensue. 1 They point to the fact that the Orange Free I State, which never had a quarrel with Great Britain, sides with them, and tha.t the peoples are united. Surely, they argue, this attests the merits of the disputes and of their position. The Republics, they say, are now menaced with destruction, for Sir Alfred Milner him- j self said that a request backed by armed strength is a command. strength is a command. Had there been a £ any time during these last live months a grain of friendliness in the British official communications, these would have been a tower of strength for peace. So exercised are they at the needlessness of I war even now, at the eleventh hour, that President Kruger seriously contemplates ad- dressing a personal telegram to the Queen and Lord Salisbury, were it not that such an act would probably be misconstrued as a sign oi weakness. y DuzenLinty they regard as an aca,demic qtlcs- tion. Subject to the London Convention oi 1834, they claim to be a So\ereign Irter- I national State, and under it they have nev- denied nor hampered the four cardinal rig to free intercourse, trade, the owning of pio perty, and equal taxation. Unfortunately, two tough people have met, Briton and Boer, and neither will give way. I Unless a modus vivendi is immediately I found nothing can prevent hostilities, for the II Boers will not permit the massing of British troops on their borders. Thev declare that the only people who seek profit out of war are capitalists, and they would prefer dwelling in amity and brother- hood with the British, becoming one Afrikan- der people, with the Union Jack as their flag, for their sea and foreign intercourse, and their own for a Federal South African State. 30,000 BURGHERS ON THE WARPATH. ("Times" Telegram.) PRETORIA, Sept, 30. Nearly 30,000 troops will be on guard by1 Monday along the various borders of the 1 Tramsvaal. The Government declared a "moratarium this afternoon and closed the High Court. A condition of absolute chaos prevails. It was expected that martial law would be declared to-day, but this has now been post- poned until Monday• Tremendous national feeling has been aroused all over the Republic, but among- the better class of the burghers it is admitted that there all over the Republic, but among' the better class of the burghers it is admitted that there can be but one end to the hostilities. The local English papers have now ceased publication. JOHANNESBURG HORSES TAKEN. JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 29 (7.30 p.m.) JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 29 (7.30 p.m.) The Government officials here to-day com- mandeered horses, saddlery, provisions, and general equipment for the burghers. Horses were even" commandeered in the streets, and the stables in the town are depleteu, 700 animals in all being taken. Tne West Rancl commando, numbering 600 men, started for the front in the early part of the day, and the I Johannesburg Corps, totalling 750, followed. Corps, 750, followed. WARRANTS FOR UITLANDERS. The "Daily Mail" correspondent, with others marked by the Government, has been been compelled to leave Johannesburg in son- seouence of the issue of warrants Oi arreat. About thirty warrants were signed on Friday, but all those concerned, by concealing their tracks were enabled to leave the same after- noon, and arrived*at Pietermaritzburg, which :1> a scene of extraordinary bustle. FIRST SHOT PROPHESIED FOR TO-DAY The "Daily Mail" correspondent at Cape Town wired cn Sunday night. "T have received authoritative inform., ion, that the Beers will attack Natal early nexu, week. "The Bondites are laying 2 to 1 that t e lirat shot will be fired to-morrow. j THE POINTS OF SETTLEMEN i. (Press Association Foreign Special.) CAPE TOWrN, Sept. 28. I understand that the opinion of the Out-! lander Council is that any settlement will be ba&ed on the following points :—(1) Dismant- ling the forts (2) no trade reprisals on Natal; (3) independence of the High Court; (4) equal language rights (5) no subsequent interfer- ence with the voting laws (6) the Executive and members of the first P-,vd to be held re- sponsible in their persons and property for outrages against and damge done to the pro- psrtv of foreigners (7) only sufficient force to be maintained for the preservation of interrai order in the Transvaal. It is also suggested that if any guarantee is required it shall be the Netherlands Railway. Outlanders arrived here from Johannesburg express the greatest indignation at the Trans- j vaal confiscation law. They aver that it Tjractically places at the disposal of the Trans- vaal the whole of their property, and the nature and definition of the offence is such that it embraces every possible contingency, and will render them liable to confiscation, whatever they do even in claiming their rights. "WAR ONLY A QUESTION OF DATS." ("Daily Telegraph" Telegram.) CAPE TOWN, Sunday Evening. --)esr,o+,(-;hes received here tend to show thai cnirit in the countrv is verv keen, the war sp^1- It is reported that the Boers are massing in thousands vpon the Natal border, that they have occupied Wakkerstrooin Nek, aiid are threatening to seize Lain." s Nek. Oharlestjwn has been evacuated, by its in- habitants, and the residents have been trans- ferred in special trains to Newcastle, where very elaborate defensive preparations are being made. Telegraphic communication with the l^pgsis-; vaal is stopped, and the Natal mail train I not arrived. 1t.it. sed that it bat commandeered for the transport of Boers. General Joubert and his staff are at Volks- rrost, with the heavy artillery, and the trains of the Netherlands Railway Company have II been appropriated by the Boer Government for military purposes. The Durban Volunteers, both rifle and artil- lery, have gone to the front amid the utmost enthusiasm on the part of their fellow-colon- ists. i The Berkshire Regiment has left Grahams- town for the frontier. It is now fully expected that fighting will begin on Wednesday next, and thsfc it wii originate with a Boer raid into Natal, with the object of seizing Dundee. In point of fact, war is regarded as merely a question of days.

THE UITLANDERS' LIGHT HORSE. A SPIRITED LOT OF BRITISHERS. The Johannesonrg corps of Imperial Light Horse is now compk-te..They are a fine body of men and well mounted. Thev will probably be used for scouting in front of a. column. Largs numbers of applicants are J being turned awtty di,ily. They express the most bitter disappointment- at being deprived of a chaiiee of taking part in a campaign against the Boers. Among the foice are doctors, lawyers, University men, and many others of good social position; and attached to the corps :n various capacities are many of the leaders of the political movement of 1896 and t-he present year. All those who were especially marked for Boer vengeance have now escaped from Johannesburg. The last batch arrived to- day at Pietermaritzburg. ) PESSIMISTIC MESSAGE FROM JOHANNESBURG. BRITISH REVERSES PROPHESIED. The Pad Mall Gazette sj special correspoci- dent, telegraphing from Johannesburg via Cape Town on Friday, says There is tremen- dous excitement here. The principal hotels and stores are closed armed Boers parade the streets, and assume menacing attitudes, and there is a wild rush on the part of the Out- landers to regain British territory. The Boers have made preparations to de- stroy the railway on Monday. The commandos are going to the borders, and it looks as though we are certain" to have war within a few davs. The position of our troops is critical. War i Office mismanagement is unhappily very ap- parent, and unless very strong reinforcemeuts arrive by next week reverses are certain. There is open treason in Cap- Colonv. and there are only two battalions there. I am practically ordered by the Transvaal! Government to cross the border, and so I am proceeding to Mafeking. The plight cf the poorer Outlanders is] pitiable. The arrival of the notorious Tynan, the No. I. of the Irish Invincibles, is reported. BRITISH TROOPS OUTNUMBERED. CAPE TOWN, Sunday (12.5 p.m.) British officers, from the down- wards, confess that the Boers, who at present greatly outnumber the British forces, pending reinforcements, have several strategic points eiusily within their grasp. TREACHERY ON OUR OWN BORDERS. There is no longer any possible doubt (says the Gape Town representative of the London "Daily News,") that the attitude of the Orange. Free State is h?„vuu; the effect, of stiffening the Transvaal resistance to British demands. According to private information the Free State Beers are fostering a warlike feeling, betieving that the Dutch combination is strong enough to overcome the Imperial troops, and even to annex Cape Colony. Some are recalling such of their sons as are students at the South African College at Cape Town at the South African College at Cape Town for the purpose of arming them tu fight for the defence of the Orange Free State, whose artillery is already reported to be moving to- wards en important strategical point. English farmers near the southern frontier cf the Free State anticipate much trouble with their Dutch fellow-subjects, who keep up a constant communication with the Boers, it several of whom axe known to have crossed the frontier recently. It would be interesting to have a return of the number of permits granted by the Cape Government during the last. six months to bear arms in that district of the Cape Colony, and to whom arms were given. Questions are also being asked concerning the disproportion- ace quantity of railway rolling-stock retained within the Fres State borders in such quantity as to be detrimental to traffic on the CaP-- Colony side. As the railway is worked under the Cape Government, that Government has power to recall rolling-stock, but is appar- ently unwilling to exercised it. TROOPS FROM INDIA WILL BE IN TIME ¡ Sunday, 5,10 p, ill. There is a settled belief here that the Boers intend to precipitate war within a week, con- centrating at V olksrust, where Commandant I Jcubert. tJJ:d Lis stiiff arrived vestsrdav A large body of armed Tr^isvaal and Free Stte burghers is massed Wakke-str0om Nek, and it is reported. that they intend iz- ing Majuba Hill and Laing's Nr-k I, British forces, consisting of 8,COO men f at Glencoe, thirty miie, inside' the Natal border. The Tnmsvaal Government ha., assume-I charge of the Netherlands Railway. Passsneei-1 traffic is conducted in the best way thè:: is J possible. The force on the Western bordervnear Mil- king is being strengthened by the dispatch of a battalion of the Yorkshire Light Infantry from Cape Town. "I It is expected that the Natal Defence Force will come into contact immediately with the I Boer advance guard, possibly in the Ileiolh- bourhood of Dundee. '=> The 5.000 troops from India, due at Durban on Tuesday, will be just in the nick of time. SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCES By THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE. Speaking at New Mills, Derbyshire, on Saturday, the Duke of Devonshire th British Government no longer saw anv ad- vantage in pressing further proposals which had been made regarding the franchise and the admission of Outlanders to share in. the government of the Transvaal. Those pro- posals had never been an essential point of posals had never been an essential point of difference, but the spirit in which they were roceived dispelled the hope that they would lead to a solution of the question. The Cabinet had been compelled to formulate its own. requirements, and these requirements would, he thought, be found moderate. Under CL 211, other circumstances he would cherish the most earnest hope that they would be favour- ably received, and made the basis of nego- tiations by the Transvaal, but the Boers' past action led the Government to entertain doubt on the subject. Unless some reassuring cir- cumstances should occur, which the Govern- ment could hardly anticipate. Parliament would be summoned to sanction military ex- penditure due to the Boers' military prepara- tions, and express judgment on the Govern- ment's conduct. He could only trust, al- though at present there was nothing which led the Government to take a very hopeful or a very sanguinary view, that wiser aad more J moderate counsels might prevail in the Trans- vaal Republic, and that some mft&m might be found by their friends in this country or elsewhere to disabuse them of the groundless idea that we nourished any designs intended to interfere with their independence or seli- i ^teverziment. f BRITISH PREPARATIONS FOR A CAMPAIGN. A Woolwich correspondent says war pre- parations are being pushed cn with unabated vigour in the Royal Carriage Factory, Wool- wich Arsenal. The pressure in this depart- ment has for the last three months been un- precedented, but it has stood the trial admir- abiy. The whole of the gun caixiages, am- munition carts, limbers, transports, ambulance I water, and other wagons, numbering in all 2,000 vehicles, required in the Transvaal ex- pedition, have all had to be altered to fit them for the rough unmacadamised roads of South Africa, some of the transport wagons having to be made interchangeable for horse, mule, and oxen draft. Ten thousand sets of battery, inanRf.v, and transport harness been despatched to Natal in large cases. All anxiety about the horses, of which about six thousand will be required, has been set at itst by falling back on the registered reserve horses in the hands of the omnibus and tram- way companies ana large earners. Eight thousand of these horses are in London and: 7,000 in the provinces. They are periodically inspected by the Army Veterinary Department and kept available for military purposes by the payment oi an annual subsidy. A noL^^has been served on the London General Omnibus Comnaxv for 1,000 horsas, the price arranged being £ 45 each. The horses required for the mounted troops will approximate to 1,200. Most of these the officers and men will take with them, the reserves being drawn from the regiments remaining at home. The horses which are leaving England for South Africa will never return, their places for the moulltelj troops being filled up by others bought abroad, and sent to the remount establishment. I WELSH VOLUNTEERS FOR ACTIVE SERVICE. _I The non-commissioned officers and men of tlD, Llandudno troop of the Denbighshire I Yeomanrv Cavalry have sent to the adjutant of the regiment, offering their services in case of war with the Boers. It is stated that tne Denbigh Ruthin, and W rexham troops allso ill terHl offering their services. "MR PRICE HUGBP/S STANDS OUT. I The Fev.

At Messrs.

Great indignation is expressed at the action of the carpenters, and unless an amicable arrange- ment can "be corny tD, Messrs. Laird will have I to seek workmen elsewhere.

LATE TELEGRAMS. HAVE THE WIRES BEEN CUT. NO NEWS FROM THE TEANSVAAL. The Central News learns that no Transvaal messages have reached London to-day from any source. The latest Transvaal telegram that has come to hand reached London yestcr- day. It is not yet known whether all mes- sages from the Transvaal are to be stopped or only those daaliug with the present ciisi»- The wires from the Cape and Natal are wor iag all right. The Press Association states that instruc- tions were issued at the Colonial Office on Sun- day to tell all press enquirers that "there was nothing to communicate and nothing to say. The changed attitude towards journalists is stated to be the outcome of very serious annoy- ance felt in the Department at the publica- tion of a statement to the effect that an official there had expressed anxiety as to the proba- bility of a Boer attack, and the intensifica- tion of this fear by the intelligence chat Gen. Joubert had gone to the front. It is. perhaps, needless to say no responsible official has made any such declaration; at the same time, it is felt much mischief might be done by the cabling to South Africa of a ground- less, but apparently authoritative statement that the Government had reason to fear Boer tactics.

WHO'S TO BE MAYOR? SWANSEA'S CHIEF MAGISTRATE. It is eai-lv yet to discuss the chances of candidates for next year's mayoralty. Up to the present very- little has been said about the matter; but quietly, the chief magis- tracy for 1S00 is being talked of. and the chances of possible candidates discussed, The two senior members—Dr. Rawlings and Mr. Morgan Tut-ton—are still indisposed; to act, and it may safely ue aecepted that neither of these gentlemen will stand, After them come Aldermen J. V. Lee(ler, David Harris, J. M. and Gwilym Morgan, who, regards seniority, a.re on a par. Alderman Spring, who is well-known tu be not without an ambition in the matter. is only a. few weeks behind. Of the four first-named aldermen. Mr. Mayne men- tioned last year, a.nd he is understood to be ready, if invited, to stand this year again, and contest for the honour against any other member of the Council, with the exception of Dr. Rawlings and Mr. Tutt-on. Mr. Wm. I Wat-kins, who also was mentioned last year, is understood to be a probable candidate, and it is not i>nl:J:ely that on November Sth a division wili be taken on the names of these two gentlemen. Of course, it is im- possible to y what events may bring forth, but if AklernLn Manw is nominated, we are given'to under .stand that a light may be re- garded as a certainty.

SWANSEA RATES. "THOSE liCCSALS." 28 CORPORATION MEMBERS IN ARREARS. "Publicity" (Swansea) writes :—Permit me to make a. slight correction in Mr. John VVil- letter cf the 29th. The number of towa councillors who a weeit ago had not paid the April rate was about 28. 1 was credibly in- formed that only about twelve had paid. Not only that, but some directly or indirectly owe two rates and. furthermore, ground rents and rents are much in arrears with others, some even owing upwards of about two years' rent and irround rents. h is no secret that some of the heaviest ratepayers of the Corpoiatrooi have said, "1 never pay my lute until the new j rate has been made. Then as to excusals. 1 j could give case aiter ease that should never have been excused. There is one now that 1 recall of a widow, who owns two houses'. S-he is excused the rates of one house, receives the rent of the other—7s. a. week from sons! and daughter living at home receives £2 7s. a week, making about £2 14s. a week. Is this a case for excusai': What is the remedy Turn oat the Corporation members as over-' seers, and appoint others — men acquainted with thjj district, heavy ratepayers, and es- pecially owners of smidl or cottage property. greatest benefit to the town, however, would arise if the Corporation accounts were audited by the Local Government auditor. There would then be none of your two guineas a day trips for members or officials these would be struck out. What has he not done with the School Board members' and the Guar- Jia.llS Then there too would be no arrears allowed to members or officials. The Novem- ber elections are near, and let each candidate be asked. "Are you in favour of the Swansea Corporation accounts being audited by the Local Government Board?"' If the answer be "No," then have candidate who says "Yes." i and return him. I thank vou for the space m your valuable pa-par; and shortly 1 hops to give you or the public something equally, or even more, v-iartling. showing how the cx- c a sals- lists have reached Flwh emormous figures, TWO SIDFS OF THE PICTURE. Another correspondent- writes :—In Swan- sea the overseers have scandalised the main body of the townspeople by the manner in which they have exempted scores of persons in comfortable cireuiTi^ances from payment of their rates.
