THE SOUTH AFFRICAN CRISIS.

).— & ■ ■.1 Pretoria, May 12 Sir Jacobus De Wet, British agent at Pretoria, has resigned. President Kruger, interviewed, said he was astonished at the official defence set up. If he had been present m th<* Imperial Parliament on Friday hecould easily have floored the speakers' stories of intrigue with Germany. They were mere soap bubbles. It was impossible to defend t-he plot against the Trail - vaa], and there would be no rest for Africa till the men who engineered it «rere punished. London, May 12 lord Lyons cabled that Sir Hercules Robinson and the Cape Government considered the Chartered Company m danger. South Africa does not believe the statement I that the Imperial Government is inclined to side with Rhodes. It is reported that a section of the Chartered Company's shareholders in tend to sue Beit for damages for the invasion of the Transvaal,

School Committee.

■♦ HAaiPSTEAI) The monthly meeting of the Hatnpstead School Committee was held lasfc evening. Present — Messrs Crooks (chairman), Sage, McKeague, Lawrie, Stillwell, and Hendry. An apology was received from Mr A. Andrews; CORRESPONDENCE. The annual report of the Board of Educa tion, quarterly attendance return, a tracing of the boundaries of the school district, and the inspection report (which was of a satis factory nature) were laid on the table. The Board of Education asked to be f ur nißhed with the Damea of children who were nob attending school regularly. — The secre tary stated that the information had been furnished from the registers and forwarded. The head master wrote, complaining- of the condition of his house, which, as well as being inconveniently small, leaked m nearly every room.— Several of the com mittee said the house m its present state was not fit to live m. Some time ago pinna had been prepared for additions, and it was pro posed to roof the whole with iron. The committee had understood the Board's clerk of works would recommend these im provement*, but they hud a reply that it was considered sufficient to patch the old shingle roof, and that this work should be provided for out of the incidental fund. Attempting to patch the old roof would be waste of time and money, and reiovering the house was an expense altogether beyond any means at the disposal of the committeei After bo me discussioo, on the motion of Mr McKeague, Messrs Lawrie and Stillwell were appointed a deputation to wait on the Board of Education on the subject. VISITING COMMITTEE. The Visiting Committee reported that the asphalting could be done at a reasonable cost, and the new committee, Messrs Strange and Sage, with Mr Pickford, were authorised to get tbis work done, and the large gate removed.
