The Original Boer Plan

BY DR STRWART OF' LOVEDALE.

Dr Stewart hpad of the Lovedale Institution, South Africa, who is j<isfc now (January 19) in Fdinburgh, in a letter to Tint Scotsman, saya :—There are thcspwho deny that Bonr suprem acy in South Africa was the real object of the war. They most be left, to their belief, if all the facts of •■ norraous war preparations and two invasions of the. O&pe Colony fail to conviace them. - The extraordinary spectacle of Roe>r oomraandoßß being today within 150 miles or leas of Oape Town, and of entrenchments being thrown up to protect that town, comes »8 a surprise to many. It is no surprise to some. The invasion of Oape Cblony is a part of the old Boer plats of campaign. That was known between four and five years ago to thpee who were in terested in soch things, and who x watched what was going on ia the Transvaal. fSome notices of It even appeared in the public prints. Bat thosei who regarded it in its true light ' wore taken for alarmists, who wished to Btir up bad blood and race animosi ties, and they had to be silent. That plan has al! been followed out, though At yet it is a plan that has failed The main poinrs of it were to seize Kimberley, which they tried for months to do, but failed ; to seize the Hex Biver Pass, through which the railway passes, and which is only about three hours distant from Oape Town. And the next «t*»p was to be In Capetown itself. The success of that plan would iba¥o paralysed tho whole western system of railways from Gape Town to Kimberloy, and even to Pretoria and Bul&wayo. And the British Army is entirely dependent on the railway for more than 1000 miles. Those who do not believe in the real and ultimate aim of the Boers in this war—-their eoti»p!ete supremacy in Sooth Africa should explain what these Boer forces are doing near Gape Town today. Have they gone there msrely to look at tha plane, and ride back again! They (the Boere) know ver? well that the poeeession of Cape Town would probably set the whole colony in a blaze, protract; the war, and afford the j Hague emissaries and intriguers a new plea for Intervention, or arbitration as they now call it—intervention being too dangerous a thing for even a Euro* pean Power to touch The prolongation of the war is due to many causes—the nature of the country and its vantnpss ; the nature of the people and their ignorance ; thf humanity with which the war has hitherto been ivsged, all statements to the contrary notwithstanding ; the want of fresh horses, or horses whether fresh or not; and, not least, to the eyropathy and encouragement the Boers have received from a certain section of our countrymen at home, That section has received every false hood against the British soldiers and Generals as if it *ai evidence on oath. Sir Alfred Milner bluntly tod an Afrikander deputation the other day that the Boor frees in the ff ild were 'incessantly fed with lies regarding their own chancf-s and the intrntions of the Imperial authnriUe* should they EUTfnder' Messrs M« rritnan and S-uorwou'd not undprtake a long voysgo home if they did not exp-ct to succeed through the aid of those who support the Boer eau^e. If. is to be hoped that Mr Chamberlain will re'u«n to soe them, or either send them back for an admo nition from Sir s lfred Milner, c, fail ing that, giv« them an 'introduction to ■Mr Stead.

Lord Roberts on Premature Festivities.

Before Lord Roberts crossed! the Solent to Oeborn^ on January H'h, the Mayor of Portsmouth, Alderman Bmannel, had an Interview with him in the hope of fixing a date for hie Lordship to rfceivethe sword of honoar subscribed for by the people of Ports mouth. In reply, Lord Roberta sent the following meßßage, which the Mayor made public oe Tuesday : — IMy gratitude on being thought worthy of the high honour proposed to t.e conferred upon me by the borougb of Portsmouth is so very great thafc it lei me to acquiesce in naming an early date to visit the town. I did so, how ever, contrary to the very strong feel ing that it would be more suitable to postpone al! public entertainments until affir§ in South Africa are more settled, and we can see the end of the war which ia still being carried od in fchmt unhappy country—* war resulting in daily loss of life to ctur soldiers and fresh bereavements to their families at home. It U most distrsteful to me to be honoured, feted, and called upon to rejoice while ho many people are in bitter grief, avid before we can pro per'y return thanks for the cloud being rolled away which has or more than a year darkoned the homes and crushed the hearts of so many people ia this country. Portsmouth was the first to offer me by cable any honour, and that town shall be, I trust, the first I shall visit,'
