THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICS.
j SPEECI} BY THE PRpjE MINISTER, Received 31, 1.30 a.m. London, May 30. The Marquis of Salisbury, spoaking :it the dinner of the City Conservative Qlub, jjaraghrased tby delivered
by hira at the end of last year, in wbich he declared that Great Britain sought no teiritory i D South Africa, It was no good to say that territory led us to war—this was one of the atrocious calumnies spread under the favouring influence of Dr. Leyds—but the desire was to stop oppression. The war would never recur. No shred of the former independence of the Republics would remain. A settlement depended largely on the temper and attitude of the enemies, who bad so acted that every severance of class and race bad been intensified by every measure they had taken. Reconciliation would be difficult, requiring much time. Gnat Britain would endeavour to cause the recollection of the war to perish, and follow the traditional policy of appeasement, affection, and mutual co-oper-ation, hoping that before many years the affection uniting the South African colonies and Great Britain would be as equally keen as that existing with Australia and Canada.
