Africa.
Sir Jacobus de Wet, British agt ~l at Pretoria, has resigned. TJ President Kruger, in an interview, said he was astonished at the official defence set up in the House of Commons. If he had been present in the Imperial Parliament on Friday he could easily have floored the speakers. The stories of intrigue with Germany were mere, soapbubbles. It was impossible to defend the plot against the Transvaal, and there would be no rest for Africa till the men who engineered it were punished. It is reported that a section of the Chartered Company's shareholders intend to sue Mr Beit for damages, for aiding in the invasion of the Transvaal. Jackson and White, troopers, giving evidence at Dr Jameson's trial, denied that Mr Rhodes wired instructions to advance into the Rand. Herr Von Boeschoten, UnderSecretary of Slate for the Transvaal, is purchasing large supplies of arms and heavy ordnanoe in Europe.
