The Transvaal.

+ London. ,7 weary 2 A. private letter from JBuluwayo, dated the end of November, mentions that there is some talk of the English taking the Transvaal chartered Com pany's corps, with ten Maxim guns, and then going south under secret orders j and the impression in the country was that the Transvaal would fall an easy prey. Mr Rhodes protests that he knew nothing of Dr Jameson's contemplated expedition. Sir H. Robinson, the Governor, has ordered every officer with Dr Jame son's force to retire. It is reported that the Queen has /ordered the Duke of Fife to resign from the British South Africa Char tered Company, of which he is vice president and director, but the report "is officially denied. . It was rumored on the Exchange to day that Dr Jameson had reached Johannesburg without fighting. Pretoria, January 3 >- .Sir Hercules Robinson's messengers : overtook Dr Jameson's force beyond th& Eland River, but the leader dia : regarded the message recalling him, and continued his march on, carrying the British flag. Before Sir J. De Wet, the British agent, could arrive fighting had begun at Krugersdorp. On Wednesday afternoon Dr,Jame • ion was driven from several positions. The Boers captured forty-two prisoners half of whom were wounded. The prisoners include three officers. The . : fighting continued until a large force Dr Jameson at Krugers •flrop, compelling him to surrender. 1 jEire were killed. v London, January 3 Mr Chamberlain has directed Sir Hercules Robinson to proceed imme i intely to Pretoria to secure ge erous t rcatment for the prisoners and care fo r the wounded, and to try and arrange a i peaceful settlement. ?here is considerable excitement in Johi winesburg, though no assistance was e fcctsnded to Dr Tameson. A run on the.' .Banks there has set in. -° .PreßKJen£Krugerbas been informed of a further' projected incursion by Chartered Oonipany's troops ; also, that Kaffirs- command the Bechuanaland frontier. ■ ' , : A large force- from the Orange .Free State commands the Vaal river, and is ready v\o assist the Boers. , . B'ERIJN, January 3 The German Press .display a menac ing ton e and assert that the Transvaal is independent of England. * Melbourne, January 3 • The keynote to the position in the Transvaal is contained in the speech made by Mr Phillips, President of the Chamber of Mines, which was subse quently, issued in the shape of a mani festo. The statement published shows that the manifesto is a long indictment against the Government. The Volk sraad ignored the franchise question, one member going so far as to chall enge the : Uitlanders to fight. The Government was curtailing all privi leges and tampering with justice, by subordinating fche High Court to the ■: ' |fixecutive, also tampering with the 'ground. Yet the Uitlanders could get nothing, even the proper education of their children being refused. The inamfesto concludes : — " All we want is purity of justice and administration and an equal share in the government. Clothing more is desired. The came Ol* the upheaval, with its attendant bj 0 'wfohed, must, however, '- be borne £ n n wad, and that the communftj' will not a to*? 8 submit t0 the Governmefit." London, January 4 The Vinies suggests that the fighting between K &* Jameson and the Boers was an *ccidental skirmish, and the surrender \ voluntary, Dr being willin, % ±o yield when he found the band did not" require the protection o€ his police. , ... _. , , . The British Soutfi Africa Chartered Company has cabUdy dissenting from Dr Jameson's invaknon. A private telegram from Capetown states that Dr Jameso'U will W court martialled, and that the other; <S&cers will be released. Before the fight took place, President Kruger issued a manifesto in which he promised to submit the grievance of the, Uitlandere to Parliament if properly requested to do so. A thousand volunteers of all nationalities are being organised in i Johannesburg to act as special police. ThO German • and French residents in th« Transvaal have cabled to Berlin and F>ris, asking for protection. "A he^vy fall in South African stocks an*l shares -has- taken place on tho Lo odon market. 1 W agent of the Transvaal Govern ment- is on his, way to Berlin to request the en'Jwtmonttff German officers. He will al. w> place orders for machine guns with t*s«ra>an fixvna.
