MR CHAMBERLAIN ON CAPE POLITICS.
"WORTHY OF COMIC OPERA." THE DANGER OF INTERFERENCE. (Received February 13th, 10.12 p.m.) CAPETOWN, February 13. Mr Chamberlain, at a luncheon at Port Elizabeth, said the political situation in Cape Colony was worthy of a comic opera. The British were suspicious of Dutch loyalty, and the Dutch suspected the British of designs to undermine their liberties and'change their customs. The-best solution was mutually to banish suspicions and forget racial distinctions, remaining content with the citizenship of a> United Empire. The situation was so complicated and the divisions were so acute that he felt the risk of doing harm was greater than the chance of doing good. The audience rose and cheered frantically.
