Its eirst settieNtient-leealinas With tee British covernmente-ueeent itush oe Miners to the country or the ewers - The System or erovernment. The Transvaal Republio is not an aid country, being under 60 years of age. Its foundations were laid in strife and bloodshed atd hardship, and the cir- umstaames under waicla it WRS set up give a, clue of some importanoe to the iresent state of affairs, for it throws light on. the feelings wallah animate the Boers toward their English neigh- bors. The Transvaal -so called from being across the Bayer Vaal, the north- ern houndry of the Orange Free State, tbe other Dutch Republic of South Africa --was the result of the, last. of tile great migratory movements or treks" Xi which the Boers tried to escape " from the dominant English ram with its, to them, detestable ideas and its prejudioe against domestio slavery. It was a flight front a land which English influence made distasteful to lhe Boers, and the republie was founded after bloody conflicts with the martial Zulus. BRITISH AND BOERS. It is well known that South Africa. was first settled by the Dutch, who, after a century and a half of colon- ization, passed in 1800 under British con- trol. The old. settlers did not agree well with their new rulers. The races were absolutely different, in itself a fruitful source of disagreement, and in the institution of slavery there was an important social differenoe which gave rise to endless trouble. The Boers have always been stout adherents of domestic elaverY and have never bad any scruples in their dealings with the aboriginal des- cendants of the sturdy Dutch.who suf- ed so tenth for their Protestantism. The Boers have preserved a, peculiarly rigid form of Calvinism, wilieb 11" taken. a for the reverse of missionary. They are a people of but one book, the Bible, and they construe it in the most literal manner, regarding themselves as the chosen people, the plains of South Africa as the promised land and the natives as the Amarites and Jebusites, the. Hivites and Hittites, who were to be exterminated or reduced to servi- tude. In the forties Livingstone, then 19 iniseionary among the Beehuanas at Kuruman and Kolobenee, came into contact with the Boers and did not like them. They objected bitterly to the attempts to /civilize and. Christianize the natives put forth by him. and Mof- fatt, and on one occasion made an nn - provoked attack on his mission station luring his absence and destroyed it, killing a number of his converts and enslaving others. As the more active spirits among the Boers struck north the dominant English power followed them, and time afbc.r time, to their disgust, their pastor- al nomads, who in their waggons, with their cat lee and their long guns, wan- dered northward over the plains, found themselves under the British flag. There were trek e in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1831 the Orange Free State was first settle.d, and in 1837 the N'aal was crossed and the advance guard of the Dutch found themselves at grips with the terrible King of the Matabele, who were then at their zenith of organ- ized murder. They fared roughly at his hands-. and most of the pioneers were exterminated, but the survivors held their ground, and eventually drove the Matabele north of the Limpopo, to the region where the finishing blow was re- cently given that once powerful tribe by the Chartered Company's rifles and Maxims. There was much fighting. in South Africa in theee days, but that in the Transvaal was the fiercest and bloodiest. DEALINGS WITH THE BRITISH. Meantime, the British power and British settlements had been following the Dutch pioneers, whose flank was turned when Natal, extending far up the east coast was acquired and became &prosperous English colony, with thou- sands of native residente, whose fair treatment and material prosperity have always formed a strong contrast to the treatment of the natives by the xepub- lie. The British did not, however, press their claims to universal dominion in South Africa, and in 1854 a peaceful set- tlement was arrived at by which the Orange Free State was given its auton- omy on giving a, simple promise not to introduce slavery. In 1854 the 13ri- tish Government, after some disagree- inents, recognizecl the independence of the Transvaal, and for twenty-five years the Boer republic went on its way, increasing in population, raising huge herds of. cattle, and steadily quar- reling, not always , with success, with the native tribes surrounding it. No more great treks to the north have been made; one reason is that the South -Africa Company has secured Mashonaland and 1VIetabeland, to the north of the Transvaal, thus, to the disgust of the. Boers, hemming them in. Another reason is, of course, the prac- tic,a1 independence the Boers have en- joyed. In 1877 a change occurred in the poli- tical condition of the republic. Upon this point the work of M. Elisee Rectus, the greatest geography existing, and published, it may be remarked, by a Frenchman, may be quoted. "But the everlasting wars between the Dutch and the natives still continued," says M. Reclus' book, "and were at times mark- ed by atroeious in,assacres and whole- sale extermination. Every advance Made by the white intruders towards the north was marked. by a trail of blood. Thus the dominant British pow- er never lacked pretexts, and occasion- ally urgent reasons of State policy and humanity to intervene and arbitrate be- tween the hostile. parties, After the discovery.of the gold fields in the east- een districts of the republic, followed by a large immigration of British sub- jects, other interests were created. Hence, interference became imperative when the victorious tribes in the north- east threatened to overrun the whole country, exiaeusted by a series of rever- eas an the field, arid already on theVerge of bankruptcy. Accordingly, a British commissioner, attended by a handful of armed men, made his appearance in 1877 at Praetoria, the capital of the State, ai ed ssued e, proclamation sup- pressing the republic and formally an - •. ' TEE BXEITER TIMES neating tbe Tranavaal to the colonial pos-1 sessions of Great Britain. Tie such a desperate (xnulition had the Beera been reduced at this critical juncture that no opposition was offered to this sum - roar:, proceeding, which was, in fact, ape proved of aot only by tbe English resid- ents but even by many of the Data re- publicans themselves. At this time it seemed the only means of saaiag the count'y from total lain altbough, alien the danger of a native rising was over, protests began to:Jae uttered against the foreign domination. THE TRANSVAAL WAR. "The discontent continued to in- crease, and came to a head when some injudicious raeasuree were teleen by the admipistrator tending to make English the official language in the courts and schools, A deputation was sent to London with instructions to de- mand the maintenance of the local u -ea administrative autonomy, the right of continuing the official use a the Dutch language, "and some, other pro- visions which seemed searcely compati- ble. with the established order. Any- how, the, deputation was coldly received, and the whole Boer nation, felt aggriev- ed and insulted by the supercilious con- duct of the British authorities. They began to prepare to assert their rights by foree of arms, probably not with much hope of susses against the inex- haustible .resourees of Great Britain, but in the expectation that the strug- gle might at least seeure for them the respect and consideration of the con- querors. But, to the sdprise of every- body, and even of themselves, they tri- umphed over the British troops in three successive slight encounters, in the last of which, at Majuba Hill, they certainly showed themselves worthy descendants of the bisve trekkers who had faced eo many clangors and fought against such overwhelming odds in their endeavors to secure political freedom in their new homes beyond the Vaal. The wax now threatened to assume formidable pro- portions, and possibly. to change the whole of South Africa into a battlefield, when the Governor of Cape Colony xe- ceived from the Gladstoman :Ministry ine.morable despatch, suoh as has seldom been recorded in the annals of international strife, to the effect that the Boers had been wronged, and that pea� was to be concluded without fur - 'her bloodshed. Despite the superior- ity of their forces, which were preparing to crush all resistance, the English Generals were fain to withdraw with- out Nang afforded an opportunity of removing the sting of defeat, and the Transva,a1 republic resumed its political autonomy, now cemented by the ter- rible ordeal through which it bad passed." Mention has been made of the gold fields. The discovery ot huge quanti- ties of this mineral has done more than anything else to bring about the pre- sent crisis. In 1867 gold was dis- covered in the country to the north of the Transvaal. In 1373 further gold fields were discovered in the limits of the republic, and in 1885 still more ex- tensive fields, while a little later on the great Witwaters-Rand field, near Johainiesberg, was discovered. Exper- ienced geologists are of opinion, accord- ing to M. Rethas' geography, that in places the gold actually. lies in beds. A tremendous rush of mmers followed. Barberton, which in 1885 possessed only a few huts, in 1888 had several hotels, three banks, two share exchanges, a good club and a theatre. Johannes - berg in 1887 was not entered on a sin- gle map, but already had 10,000 in- habitants. Now it leas 60,000, almost all -T./Wanders," or members of the non -Boer eviiite population. ln 1898, by the way, the population was estimated at, Boer and Dutch -speaking about 40,000, British and English-speaking about 30,000, natives from 300,000 to 400,000 and upwards. Since then of course the llitlanders have increased immensely. The Boers were practical- ly all in. the country districts, scarcely one being in the towns. HOW THE COTJNTRY IS RULED. The Boers founded the republic: to es- cape from English influence, and in the constitution seem to have made as effectual arrangements as possible to keep out the influence to which they so greatly object. The natives, first of all, are utterly disfranchised and barely tol- erated. They are not even allowed to receive payment for their services in gold, under penalty of the lash and im- prisonment. The Boers possess the en- tire power. At first citizens who took the oath of allegiance, had resided in the country for five years and paid 25 were admitted to the franchise, but subsequently the period of residence was increased to ten, then to fifteen, then to twenty years. Further, no one is eligible for office who is not a na- tive of the Transvaal or a resident for fifteen years' standing, and possessor of one of the vast landed estates, often 6,000 acres in extent, of which the Boers are so proud. Lately the Boers are re- ported to have denied citizenship to the children of Tritlanders born in the Transvaal, The controversy which re- cently raged over the appointment of a po'ice officer in Johannesberg illustrates this. The city was utterly without po- lice protection, and a competent police officer frora Cape Colony was engaged on trial for a year. He restored order, but when the question of his permanent appointment came up President Kru- ger refused to permit one not a citi- zen to hold such an office. The officer was ready to take the oath of allegiance, but the President was obdurate, and the city had to organize vigilance com- mittees. The Boers, who have absolute control of the gevernment refuse to al- low English to be taught in the schools, and, it is etated in the columns of The New York Tribune, characterized a.sre- bellion an attempt to establish private English schools, supported entirely by the, Uitlanders. Filially, the Boers al- lowed the schools to be opened on con- dition that Dutch should be taught as well as English. There are in Johan- nesberg, with its 60,000 inhabitants, ac- cording to The Tribune, but 300 voters, Boers who happen to live in the city. The taxation has been altered so as to fail most heavily upon the utterly unre- resented Uitlanders ; and the Boer treasury, which at the time of the an- nexation of 1877 was popularly report- ed to contain but eighteen pence, is now overflowing. The objection which the Uitlanders entertain to this state of affairs, and their desire to be taken into the full citizenship of the republic, seem to be the causes of the present trouble. The Transvaal, it rnay be said, in closing, is the richest of all the South African States in natural resources. The soil is fertile, and the crops are always of excellent quality. The tobacco grOwn is rated first-class. 'European cultivat- ed plants thrive welt, and the climate is suitable for oranges and lemma. As grazing land it is not as good as the Orange Five State, and parts of it are infested. by the deadly tsetse fly, evhoee bite is death to horses and cattle. But as a mining country it is pre-eminent. Its gold fields have been mentioned. al- ready. There are also to be found coal, iron, cobolt, copper an.d argentiferons lead. The gold is found in an aurifer- ous white quartz, which requires power- ful ore -crashing machinery, and thus confines mining to wealthy capitalists. hi1dren Cry for Pitcher's Casio kis IMPARTIAL HISTORY OF THE ENE - A. citizen' or the Butted States Disentaea the Queotton-Illatory of the Boundary Issae-Vettezuelaus and Their Groat, - tug Tendenetea-Dadleniffes Offered to Citizens of the Baited states. Mr. Wm, Yates Perot writes to the Bait!ore Sun the following interest- ing history of the Venezuelan ques- tionPermit me, as a former resident of British Guiana, and one who is thor- oughly familiar with that country and all the matters 'in dispute between Venezuela and that colony, to make a few observations on the present situ- ation. President Cleveland has made ar terrible blunder. I shall endeavor to show, first, that Venezuela has no case; seeond, that the Monroe doc- trine is not involved at all in the dis- pute between the two countries. The boundary line between the two cou.n- tries Is largely one of historical and geOgraphical faots. The Spaniards settled on the Orinoco aboat the year 1580, the Dutch in the Pomeroon in the same year. They were dislodged from their settlement by the Spaniards three years later, and their next successful attempt at colonization was in 1611 on an island called Kyk-Over-All, near the mouth of the Essequibo river. This tbe wasent the lO ePrOLuyelePar; alss:itil QfgcaovpeinIta- m1 was removed to Stabroek, called Georgetown wben taken over by the British. By the'aweof Amiens, in 1803, Holland's possessions in what is known as the colonies 'of Essequibo, Demerara, and Berbice were ceded to Great Britain, and have ever since been known as Britiala Guiana. HISTORICAL FACTS. VenezUela achieved. its independence in, 1814, and succeeded to whatever rights Spain might have had. in the country. As a. matter of fact, the Spaniards and the Venezuelans have never at any time made claims to or attempted any jurisdiction over any of the territory lying east of the Schomburg line on the Amactuu. The Dutoli laid out sugar and coffee plan- tations upon the Essequibo from the mouth of the Cuyuni river around the coast to the Pomeroon, the majority of which plantations are in cultivation to -day. At no time lia.s Venezuela ever had any foothold there, nor has there been a settlement, or even a clearing, east of the Schoraburg line. On the other head, the writer, who was one a the first white men to pene- trate that country fifteen yea,rs ago, before any gold was disoovered, found a, dreary, trackless waste, where the Indian was monarch of all he survey- ed. At the same time remains of Dutch forts are to be seen well up the Suyuni river almost as far as the Uruan, where the difficalty of out - poets occurred about a year ago. In the Berlina remains of .Dutch aban- doned estates, with large canals, atin be seen to -day. All tins would go to show that the presumption of evi- dence as afforded by previous occu- pation would. be in favor of the Dutch as against the Spanish claimant. THE BRITISH LINES. In 1840 Great Britain sent, out Sir Robert Schomburge a, well-known geologist, who defined the British lines. It is a. well-known principle in inter- national law that the lines of demar- cittion between contiguous territories should be defined by natural bound- ary lines, smileas great rivers, estu- aries, or mountain ranges. It was affirmed by the late Czar of Russia, as arbitrator in a similar displite between Dutch Guiana and French Guiana, that the larger river course., in the ab- sence, of the clearest evidence to the contrary, should be the natural bound- ary line. The only two rivers answer- ing this description are the Essequibo and the Orinoco. As Spain had al- ways held and colonized the basin of the Orinoco, and Holland in a similar manner had held the Essequibo and its tributaries, Schomburg fixed upon the next largest river course lying be- tween the two, the Amaeura, which forms the base of the Schomburg line. A settlement of this matter has been allowed to remain in abeyance all these years because, in the first place, the territory Involved was thought to be of little or no value un- til the discovery of gold, about ten years ago; secondly, all the inhabited portion of British Guiana had been confined to a strip of land along the seacoast devoted exclusively to sugar - planting, and extending around inland about fifteen _talks. Since emancipa- tion of slavery, in 1834, the negroes refused to work reguln.rly, and large numberof coolies from East India, an:taunting to about seven thousand a year, have been regularly imported from India, to work on the estates. This was done at a very heavy ex- pense, and the planters, who controlled the policy of the Government (a man requning to be a possessor of eighty acres of land, forty of which should be bona fide in cultivation: 'to be eligible to a seat in the Legislature), naturally were averse to any means being taken to develop or facilitate ac- cess to the vast country lying behind. them, fearing that their labor supply would be drawn away from. them. DISCOVERIES OF GOLD. Ten years ago American and English .prospectors pushed their ,way tep these various rivers and found gold in large and paying quantities. The Govern- ment was forced to take notice of the growing industry. Gold regulations were made and titles granted under favorable terms, and the Government was forced, in response to public opin- ion,to assert its claim to and exercise jurisdiction over the country up to the Schomburg line Millions of dol - lam of English capital have been in- vested in sugar plantations and mines within the disputed territory. Vene- zuela, is a mere pretence of a reptile- lic; only 2 per cent. of its million in- habitants are white. men, the rest 'being peons, half-breed,s, and Indians. It is at tines a dictatorship, as under Guzman Blew°, who after a com- paratively short reign was enabled to retire to Europe, where he now lives, with, a colossal fortune estimated at $20,000,000. The present President, Creapa, is also a very wealthy man. 14 isa well-known feet to these hav- ing business relations with Venezuela that it is impossible to do any business there without arranging satisfactorily with the powers that be for a consid- erable share of the ventuae. LITE AND PROPERTY- INSECURE. As an instance of the insecurity of life and property under the Vene- zuela. rule, I would Mention a case of Mr. T. Morris Perot, of Phila., delphia, a wealth3rmaltster, there, who k,14 Wide, whieh was 4ntirely subscribed to by Philadelphia capital, The mine was a paying one, and there was a surplus of 2150,000 lying to thelr credit at their bankers, in Plailade phia.. The directors decided to in- crease their plant, and ordered 80 stamps to be shipped to the mine. In the meantime Guzman Blanco east envious eyes on the property and. made several offers for it, which Were declined. Their supermtendent was newt got at, with the result that the 80 stamps, on their arrival at Bolivar, were dumped into the Orino- co river, where they lay for six months before they could. be taken out. At great expense the stamps were filially put in place, when the whole mine was caved in on there. This exhausted their surplus, and stockholders had to go down into their pockets to repair the damage done. During Mr. Perot's absenc,e from Venezuela, General. Pulgar, act- ing for Guzman Blanco, bought in the mine at a forced sale on some fictitious ground. Mr. Perot, an Am- erican citizen, at once went to Vene- zuela and protested against this high- handed action and was thrown into prison, where he was only released by the good offic,es of the English Con- sul, and was glad M get out of the country with his life. A PERFECT ENVILISH TITLE. England fe4s that she has a per- fect title to the land. in question, and, that it is a matter that ooncerns her and. Venezaela alone, Several at- teinpta at compromise have been 'made in years past, but came to naught ownig to the demand of Vene- zuela, ba.cked up by the I.Tnited States, to extend the matter to tin line a the Essequibo. As this country has been in continuous possession of the Dutch and afterward English territory for two hundred years, where To 11110/18 of capital are invested, ean it be won" dered that Great Brawn should re- fuse meet positively to submit the lives and property of her subjects LO the mere °hence of submission to emelt a. Government as that of Venezuela VENEZUELAN OTIT134GES. A year ago two American pros- pectors crossed from. the Englisia to the Venezuelan territory at Uruan ; on the one side the Venezuelans had a station with fifty men;. On the other, the Buglish two sub -inspectors a,nd five men; the Americans were prompt- ly arrested, being without passports, and la response to their appeal, In- spector Barnes crossed to the Vene- zuelan side to meditate in their fa- vour. He was immediately placed under arrest; the Venezuelans then orossed tbe river, tore down tbe English flag, trampled it to pieces, and placed the whole guard under arrest, the sta- tioa being entirely looted. The men were marched over a, rough couatry to liolivara where word was received from President Crespo to set them free. The American miners were forced to cross the country with ropes around their necks; one of them died upon arrival at Bolivar from the ill-treatment rec,eived, and the other escaped to Trinidad, broken in. health, with all his ,property gone. A statement a these facts was sub- mitted to the State Department by the United States Consul, 1)r. Spright, bat nothing has been heard of any demand made for redress from the Venezuelan Government. Although this outrage occurred over a year ago, Vene- zuela, up to the present, has offered no apology or indemnity to Great Bri- tain, although one has now been per- emptorily deinanded. That it has been so is only one of the many proofs that Great Britain, conseious of her right and strength, has shown extreme anx- iety to defer to the wishes of this coun- try as far as is compatible with her dignity and self-respect. THE 'WAY OUT. There will be no war. Wax be- tween* two such countries as England and the United States upon such a trivial matter would be the greatest crime the world has ever witnessed; it impossible' for these two coun- tries to go to arms without bringing on a general European war, the re- sult of which no one ca.n. calculate in its loss of blood. a,nd treasure. The house of Rothschilds is composed of five different nationalities, one Eng- lish, another French, another Austrian, another Gernaa,n, but they are all Rotbschilds. With the enormous in- terests they have at stake and the power they ean bring to bear on the various Governments, who dare not go to war without their consent, it may be taken for granted that such pressure will be brought to bear as will remove all possibility of conflict. In order that both the United States and Great Britain ean evithdraw hon- ourably and evitheat loss of prestige, a way evil' be found whereby intima- tion will be oon.veyed to Venezuela that she must deal directly with British Guiana, which in turn will be instructed to ma.ke some conces- sion en the Schonaburg line either in money or territory, a,nd that will be the end of the matter. ln the meantime British Guiana will have got an immense amount of free ad- vertising,. and the losses already in- flicted by- President Cleveland's hasty and ill-advised action will render im- possible his nomina.tion as a future President, A Lively Pa. A young Cleveland girl recently had the following to tell in court, of her step -father, who is certainly not a mon- otonous- parent: "Pa was sitting in. his saloon, feeling lonely. He went to the barn and, put- ting a halter on his horse, brought him into the house, saying he wanted the anirnal to eat supper with him. Pa made me set a plate for the horse. "Then he took hold of the horse's front legs and lifted them up OD the table. We all sat down to'supper and the horse began to eat. Pa picked up a raug of beer, and began to laugh and threw both hands in the air. The raug hit the horse on the nese. "The beast pulled its feet dow-n,drag- ging the tablecloth and upsetting the table. The horse backed up and sat squarely on a red. hot stove. IThis burned Re tail so the animal kicked the Stove over and ran out of. the door. "I screamed, and pa threw a lamp at me. The house came near catching fire and a policeman came, Pa has been ar- rested one hundred .and eight times.
