WAR SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA Not Yet Known in London Wheth er the First Shot Has - Been Fired. NO NEWS FROM TRANSVAAL. Tbe Situation at Pretoria Tuesday Was Decidedly Critical Preparations at Southampton Expenditures. Price of Wheat Advanced. By Cable to the Morning Star. London, October 11, 10.15 P. M. Up to tbo present hour no dispatches have arrived from the Cape timed since tbe expiration of the: ultimatum, so it is not known yet whether the first shot has been fired. A. telegram from Pretoria, timed 7.30 -yesterday evening, says: "The situa tion is becoming more critical hourly. Numerous Americans, Germans, Bel gians, Frenchmen, Swedes, Norwe eians. Danes, Italians, Dutchmen, Swiss and Cape Afrikanders have (rone to the border to fight for the Transvaal, al though they are not burghers, while many British residents also have taken . .i -i n : mi., 1 tbe OHIO. Ul Hucgiauus. iug uupo is expressed by many that war may yet be averted." ' .Nothing since this has been received from Pretoria and doubtless telegraph communication with the Transvaal is now cut. News is Delayed. - The absence of news from the Cape since early m or nine is not due to any interruption of the cable, -but to the immense pressure of work, the cables being probably nearly monopolized by British government dispatcnes, wmcn take precedence of all others. Only two cables run to Cape .Town from Europe, and the one on the eastern coast is very slow, so that practically all the work is thrown on one'Sl lan tic, cable, , which means that the present exasperating delay will recur repeatedly during the progress of the war, and that the newspaper dis patches wiil probably be v ery meagre. The Orange Free State. Further particulars regarding the correspondence between President Steyn, of the Orange Free State and Sir Alfred Milner, Governor of Cape Colony, a&d British high commis sioner in South Africa, cabled from Bloemfontein, show that Sir Alfred on October 7th stated that the imperial government ! was reconsidering the situation in view of the grave fact that both the Republics were on awar foot ing, and . was even then prepared to consider a definite suggestion for the termination of the crisis. In another dispatch he says: "My object in all communications since October 2nd, has been to leave nothing undone to prevent such action on the part of the Transvaal as is calculated to make a pacific solution finally impossible. I cannot, however, ask the imperial government for a pledge either regard ing the disposition of troops in British territory in South Africa or their dis patch from other parts of the empire." President Steyn replied: "The reasons for arming the Trans va&l were the presence of an alien hostile popula tion in its midst which was always stirring up hatred and endeavoring, for political or financial reasons, to undermine the independence of the State. The Boers have never taken the offensive, not even after the Jame son raid, when the Transvaal was strongly armed and there were few British troops there. "Regarding the Free State army, it will be remembered that the Free State always lived at peace and in harmony with its neighbors, and has everything to ilose and nothing to gain by a rupture. The burghers will cer tainly not be called out unless the government is thoroughly convinced that the British troops on the borders of both States are a decided menace to the independence of the Transvaal, which the Free State is bound to as sist." - j . Preparations at Southampton. Great preparations are being made at Southampton for the departure on Saturday of General Redvers-Buller, and a great demonstration is antici pated. The Duke of Connaught, the Duke of York. Lord Lansdown, Ger eral Lord Wolseley and General Sir Dvelyn Wood are expected to accom pany him j to Southampton irom London. I It is announced that the fleet of transports conveying General Sir Red-vers-Buller's army corps will be es corted by warships, while further dis patch boats and gunboats will be sent to South African waters. The government has already ex pended 5,000.000 in naval and mili tary preparations, and orders placed with contractors this week alone - amounted to 600,000. The authori . ties, anticipating a serious reduction in the output of the South African - coal mines, has ordered 5,000 tons of English steam coal to be sent to the Cape for the use of the warships. The outbreak of war has sent up the price of English wheat on various country markets, the farmers have refused to sell wheat under thirty shillings per quarter; in some cases even holding out for a still higher price. A dispatch from Kimberly says Cecil Rodes is expected there shortly. Proclamation to the Burghers. Pretoria, October 11. The Official Gazette to-day contains a proclamation calling upon the burghers domiciled outside the republic without permis sion of the government to present themselves forthwith to their respec tive commandants for service, failing which they will be fined varying from 100 to 500: or bv imorisonment and confiscation bf property. London, October 11. An impor tant South African firm in London has just received a telegram from Cape Town stating that a revolution of the Butch in Cape Colony is regarded as imminent. i . .

The price of cotton reached a much lower level in the market this morning, but subse quently rallied and closed within five points of last night's -figures. Con sidering the action of our market yes terday, Liverpool to day showed weak ness, variously accounted for by private cables. One report had it that Neill's crop circular and the warlike attitude, of England ana tne uoers nau forced holders to unload and induced general short sellling-ftbroad. Another source claimed! leading bears on this side has sent over large sell ing orders, j and these com bined with heavy pressure from bear circles in Liverpool had brought about th heaw decline. Our market opened six to eight points under last night and continued to decline most of the forenoon, January at one time selling at 6.91 and May 7. 05. Shorts attacked the market vigorously and enormous amounts of long stuff were forced overboard by tne outside pud lic and even a number of room bulls sold out a goodly portion of their holdings. For a -while excitement was at fever heat and nobody seemed to have the faintest idea as to where the selling movement would carry prices. Shortly after mid-day, however, there was a marked change and prices were soon rapidly advancing, January reach inir7.Q4. Sunnorted bv official estimates for another light movement at the ports to-morrow and a batch of bullish crop and other information from the cotton belt, the market stubbornly re sisted further pressure.- A number of. staunch outside houses sent in large hiiTincr orders with the result that shorts were, soon scrambling to cover. At the close the market was very steady, with prices one point higher to five net lower. . New York, October 1L Cotton itra FLOUR- lb Low grade Choice . Straight ....vw...
