BOERS Rt FUSE TO LET US REPRESENT BRITAIN New Precedence in Diplomatic Rela tions Will 0 ar Government Submit! Washington, Jan. 8. The Transvail government has thrown a diplomatlj bombshell in assuming an attitude di rectly at variance with the . courtesy that marks the relations between. friendly nations.
