NO DRUGS. NO KN IFE Dr. C. M. CASE, Graduate Ameriean,J3cbOQi at SEnlOUS -. mm? That Confront Eng land in South Africa. She Has Had no Colonial Crisis More Grave in This Century. Continued Assembling of Troops Though War Seems DoubtfuU Dangers of a Kaffir Rebellion Basu- tos Straining at the Leash to Attack the Boers London, Aug. 12. At the close "today of the London stock exchange the fol lowing was the report on South African stocks: "Kaffiirs are steadv at l.t ev ening's prices and no further alarm is feJt over what the Boers will do." This is a remarkable sequel to the government's announcement 'that rein forcements were goiing to South Africa, and it was stated today thait 3.000 more ' troops would be added to the list, yet it is certainly true that not one in ten believes there will be a Boer war, and not one in a hundred believes there will be war before October. And by that time negotiations ought to remove ev; ery cause. Indeed what Londoners are calling the Boer backdown is timed to begin tomorrow when ithe great open air meeting of tdhe Boers will be held to pray for peace and appeal to Kruger to make more concessions for the sake of peace. Chamberlain has been accused of 'trying to advertise a possible triumph when he already knows Kruger means eventually to concede franchise reform. The accusation is posprbly unjust, for tt 4s known 'that Kruger has drafted an argumentative refusal of Chamber- tain's proposail for a commission. There to prospect of a lengthy wrangling, wKa the, constant Bncrease of British troops in South Africa as a. demonstra tion of supremacy, but beyond that 'ho one well acquainted with South African affairs expects matters to go. The attitulte of the natives Is in cluded in the doubts and difficulties of the situation Secret service officers are organizing white ooloniets to deal with a possible Kaffir rebellion, or, what more serious, a rvossible insurrection of Dutch sympathizers with the Boers within the British borders. The Dutch men are protesting loyalty and de nouncing their exclusion from the vol unteer troops. They admiit there is dan ger of a Kaffir rebel'Jfon and claim the right to hold guard against it; Since England lost the North Ameri can colonies she has not had to face so serious a colonial situation. The Ma tabeles in Rhodesia are restless, the Kaffirs in Cape Colony and Natal are sullen and the Swazes may bre ik out at any moment. But the most imminent danger is in Basutoland, where 30,000 warriors are straining like hounds at the leash to get at the Boers. It may be necessary to assign ten thousand British soldiers to keep the Basutos v bay, wbJKe 30,000 others are fighting the Boers, for England is against us- ingblacks against the Transvaal. There is a growing feeling In this country that statesmanship will have failed miserably if it does not obtain a pacific settlement of so threatening t problem. DEWEY LEAVES NAPLES. Naples, Aug. 12.
