London., July 5

Mr CShamberlain, writing to M. Yvei Guyot, an ex-Minister and a prominent member of the French Chamber, says the Boers do not demand independence but the right to oppress and exploit the Uitlanders.

The Pall Mall Gazette statea that the Marquis of Laosdowne is ready to despatch from 40,000 to 50,000 troops to youth Africa. Great Britain is nevertheless anxious to avoid anything suggesting: menace.

It ie affirmed from Pretoria that President Kruger has accepted Messrs Hofmeyr'a and Fischer's recommenda tions for modifying his proposals with teferenca to concessions to Uitlanders. BLOBMPONrBm, July 6.

President Steyne, in proroguing the Orange Free State Volksraad, said his pacific efforts towards a settlement of the Transvaal difficulty had failed, but he did not despair. He trusted the Tanavaal would act pacifically, then she could not be chargeable with war.

The Volkaraad authorised President Steyne to proceed to Pretoria. Pretoria, July 6

The Council of the Uitianders' League has issued a manifesto en dorsing Sir A. Milner's proposals, urging the establishment and safe guarding of the independence of the !£Vansvaal High Court, that tha Volks raad shall nest be allowed to interfere in the permanency of settlement be tween England and the Transvaal, also urging the autora itic periodical distribution of seats, and municipal and educational reform.

Sydney, July 6

Neaily 600 of the purely volunteer forces have offered their services in the Transvaal. The Commandant con siders the position very critical, and favours the despatch of an Australian contingent.

An Imperial <fficer just come from the Gape states that British troops from the Indian frontier are arriving there by every etearner, and immense quantities of army supplies and forage are being accumulated.

Melbourne, July 6

At a meeting of the Australian Natives' Association, Messrs Best and Trenwith gave their impressions of New Zealand. Mr Best said that New gealatid had Courageously tackled questions of domestic economy. During fhe whole tigje he was in the colony he never heard a demand that any of the recent measures affecting economic and social legislation should be repealed. Victoria might look with profit at the experiences o£ New Zealand in this direction. He spoke in warm admira tion of the cooperative system, the resumption of lands, and the Concilia tion and Arbitration Act. Mr Tren with said that the present unexampled prosperity of New Zealand was due largely to what may be termed experi mental legislation. Both gentlemen were struck with the prosperity and p'roductiveaess of New Zealand. '

A GUILTAR SONG.

(Bt Ohables W. Pusnell )

In days of love and gladness, Ere thought was tinged with sadness, We iaag in youthful madness, Singing to the sweet guitar.

Our veins with vigour flushing, Life's sparkling stream nprushing, We sang with spirits gushing,

Singing to the sweet guitar

Our mirthful voices blending, To music's realms ascending, We Bang gay songs unending,

Singing to the sweet guitar.

And, moved by passion stealing Through every iuward feeling, Wo danced, in mazes wheeling, Dancing to the sweet guitar.

Like sunbeams, shifting lightly, Our feet, through measures sprightly, Flitted here and there so brightly, Dancing to the sweet guitar.

Lightly tripping in and oat, Circling round and roundabout, Gaily in a rhythmic rout, ' ' D*noing to the aweet guitar.

Bright threads of fancy weaving, Dear glances often gloaming, Half wakened and half dreaming, Dancing to the eweet guitar.

Time lay him down and slumbered, While we, through hours unnumbered, From all the world were sundered, Dancing to the sweet guitar.

— Canterbury Times
