GUILDHALL BANQUET.
SPEECH BY LORD SALISBURY.
BRITAIN'S POLICY. [united press association], (by electkic telegraph—copyright). London, November 11. Lord Salisbury, in his speech at the Guildhall, referring to the future of South Africa, said Great Britain sought no goldfields or territory, but only desired equal rights for all races and the security of the Empire, and aimed at ultimately restoring good government and preventing the recurrence of the dangers which contributed to the present condition of affairs in the Transvaal.
Lord Wolseley also spoke. He expressed regret that the Imperial authorities were unable to accept a tithe of the offers of assistance from the militia, volunteers and the colonies. He added that if the necessity arose a fresh division of the Second Army Corps would be mobilised immediately. The Ministerial press carefully disavows the Radical declaration that Lord Salisbury in his Guildhall speech implied that there would bo no interference with Transvaal and Orange Free State independence.
