Simultaneously a dash was to be made for the Maxim, the. guards on and off duty, of which there were about 200, were to be overpowered and disarmed, and telephone connection with Pretoria ■ was to be broken.'

Any resistance by the few men In the fort could easilv have been overcome, and. once inside/the 2,000 men would have been masters of the situation. The prisoners had learned that many thousands of reserve rifles and a large ouantity of ammunition -were in the magazine directly below the defenses of the fort, and that the storehouses o^ the fort were filled with provisions. . . ..With the President a hostage inside, itwas agreed that the Boers would be afraid to shell or storm it. and in any case the men were resolved to held it to the last; Pretoria w'ould have been dominated by the guns of the fort. The authorities were to be informed that so long as the garrison were unmolested thev would refrain from anv overt act of hostllltv against the capital. It was Intended, however, to co-operate with the British investing army if on its arrival the.Transvaal Executive carried out its resolution to defend Pretoria.
