London, November 10

Lord Salisbury, in bis Guildhall speech, proceeding to deny the allega tions of neglect and lukewarmness or each Government action m served to prolong the guerilla conflict, described socfa statements as valueless and vague vituperation and ill-defined criticism. The Government's position with regard to the Boers had remained unchanged throughout, The desire wag that the new territories should enjoy peace, freedom, civil rights, and, at the earliest possible moment,, self govern ment like the other colonies. We are told our opponents accept only inde pendence. We teply the independence of neighbours who attacked tw at two days' notice after accumulating for years material for a colossal war is inconsistent with our security. (Oheers.) He waa sure the nation was deeply resolved that the South African trouble should never recur. However great the present sacrifice and the labour involved the nation would not allow a temporary difficulty to interfere with the cbasen path dictated alike by duty and interest. There existed a dogged determination to carry out a policy which the nation believes to be that of empire. Lord Selbourne, responding for the navy, said a hundred recently con ttructed torpedo boat destroyers proved a triumphal success, only two instances of structural weakness having been discovered. Special measures had been adopted in the way of future pre cautions.
