Unrest in Transvaal and International Relief Efforts
An urgent Pretoria meeting drafted an address to Chamberlain and the legislative council urging amnesty, reformation of prewar policies toward natives, and costed burgher shares for government needs. Generals Botha De Wet and Delarey pressed for moderation and organization to aid the government while $25,000 was raised in America and Europe for destitute Burghers. Also, Castro’s acceptance of arbitration was reported as favorable to ending the conflict, with talks on Venezuela blockade timing continuing. A fatal collision near Ada Ohio involved No. 19 colliding with No. 85, killing three crew and injuring several others.
