THE ATTITUDE OF THE BOND.
DISAFFECTION AND ITS CAUSES. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received February 16th, 10.40 p.m.) CAPETOWN, February 16. The Progressive leaders declared that if Mr Chamberlain were prepared io accept the Dutch assurances of loyalty, the Progressives would meet them more tliao halfway. The Afrikander Bond, in its address at Granf Reinet, thanked Mr Chamberlain for upholding the free institutions so highly valued, and assured him of its fervent resolve to remain true to the Empire. Mr Chamberlain replied that l»e had come not to see a display of British loyalty, because he could get that at Home, but to Bee South African disaffection, to agk upon what it was based, and to find a remedy. He traced it to wilfulness and foolishness in jeopardising the constitution in the past, through discontent and violence. He next impressively appealed for proofs of loyalty by aiding union. Liberty and peace were the only factors now wanted to ensure unprecedented prosperity.
