In which paper it was published in full. Other passage which at this juncture will be read with Peculiar interest follow a never since the infamous Jameson raid in i Vin our government was c Tiv iced that some disputable character would urge England to War. It meaning could not la mistaken. It could have for it. Ole object Only the annihilation of the Boer Republic. We were equally tire that we would have to depend on our own resources for. Although we knew that this War would meet with the Quai Yimou condemnation of All european Powers we did not anticipate that any of them would summon strength to come to our Rescue. A England s arrogance and her Strong Navy have of cowed the european Powers that they dare not bid her Stop in her despicable land grabbing nor even where their own interests Are involved. Knowing these circumstance. We depended solely on ourselves improved our Means of defense and tried to keep the English in the dark a to our a Al preparations. Lothi purpose we gave their disguised pies Access to our antiquated guns and artillery. But were very careful to conceal from them out modern artillery Parks. Our calculations proved Correct. Lite English Public credited these misleading reports. Their cry i o Pretoria is on i level with the i Liri Ian cry ofj"7o, a a your letter lays much to it Oti the numerical superiority c tic eng bsh but in my opinion the example i it different one.

The rest will be needed for garrisons and Protection of their bases of operation. Quot the scene of the War will cover Natal at Cape Colony an area of say ton Kilometres our own Camp is protected by Cir Mountain ranges and it no n a ample sufficient for its Protection.
