THE TRANSVAAL TROUBLES. England Sends an Ultimatum to the Boers.
London, October 11. — An ultimatum has been sent to the Transvaal Government by Great Britain. It alleges repeated violations of the treaty and acts of violence committed by the Boors beyond the boundary lines of the Transvaal country. It demands of the Transvaal Government due satisfaction for these acts, the repression of Boer filibustering, and the thorough observance of the articles of the last conventions entered into by both countries. It is reported that the British War Office is already preparing an expedition of 8,000 men to proceed to South Africa, a portion of which will be drawn from the East India army. The withdrawal of the proclamation annexing the Montcias territory is not expected to alter the position of affairs, as the Boers continue to hold a grip upon the lands.
