PRETORIA, Sept. 11. The British diplomatic agent. Conyngham Greene, has made representations to the Trans vaal Government regarding the recent arrest of Mr. Pakeman, editor of the Transvaal Leader, and the Govern ment is sending a reply. President ivrueger nas issued a no tice warning burghers who intend to go shooting beyond the river Limpoo, which forms for many miles the north west and north limit of the Transvaal that they will be severely punished unless they first obtain permission from the local authorities. The tension remains high pending the receipt of Mr. Chamberlain's dis patch. It is asserted on excellent au thority that the Transvaal Govern- ment, with a view of keeping the min ing industry moving has decided to protect It in every way. As a first step the Government has notified the Rand ...... companies mat tneir men win receive protection as long as they remain peaceful, and should war unfortunate ly occur the men will be given a rea sonable time to leave the country if they desire. It is officially announced that the article in the gold law about the con fiscation of claims and mines belong ing to people convicted of treason or conspiracy against the State, which was last year eliminated, will be: re- enforced. The article also gives the Government power to order that the mines be worked, and provides that if this instruction is disregarded the Government may work them through ts own agents. Commander General Joubert denies that the War Department is ordering heavy ordnance and rifles. He declares that he is anxious for the preservation of peace. Secretary of State Reitz has left this city for Johannesburg and Cape Town. The likelihood of war is much discussed. The coming of British troops is not regarded as meaning cer tain war, but merely as making up for the paucity of troops in South Africa, much commented upon during the past month. The burghers of this place are offer ing the Government gifts of meal. The town has a deserted appearance. JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 11 The of ficials of the Netherlands Railway Company have been notified to hold themselves in readiness to guard the line in the event of war. The Italians in the Transvaal have decided to remain neutral should hos tilities arise. The Transvaal Holland ers here held a meeting today and adopted resolutions of sympathy with the Transvaal Government, pledging their support. CAPE TOWN, Sept. 11. Four trains containing refugees from Johannesburg have, arrived here. Four hundred ref ugees have also arrived at Durban. During the past week the relief com mittee of Johannesburg assisted 2,000 cases of distress reported throughout the Transvaal. LONDON, Sept. 11 The activity in the Admiralty and War Office contin ues. It is said that orders have been sent to America for light iron girders and bridging sections, for probable use in South Africa. Transports are moving to the docks, preparatory to embarking troops. LONDON, Sept. 10 A dispatch from Bloemfontein reports the distri bution of arms and a considerable ex odus to Cape Colony. According to the correspondent, the Boers are mass ing on the frontier and there is no abatement of war preparations in the Transvaal. It is understood nhat General Sir Redvers Bulleiv will start for Cape Town next Saturday. The Indian au thorities are chartering steamers transport troops to South Africa rapidly as possible. LONDON, Sept. 9. The troops ing to South Africa, as the result the decision of yesterday's Cabinet council to" send 10.000 soldiers, will proceed to Natal, bringing the total number of men in that colony up to 15,000. Re-enforcements numbering 5,000 men will be drawn from India. The Northumberland Fusiliers will embark next Saturday for Cape Colo ny, leaving from Southampton. The First Royal Sussex Regiment has been ordered to be ready to embark within three days. An infantry brigade with division of field artillery from Alder shot, with eighteen guns, has been or dered to leave. MALTA, Sept. 9 The First Battal ion of the Border Regiment, stationed here, has been ordered to hold itself in readiness to embark for Cape Colony. to as loot THIEVES IN CUSTODY. LONDON, Sept. 9. The police of Ge neva have in custody two men, Ed ward Wilkinson, said to be an Ameri can, and John Ronan, an Irishman, whom they believe to be the chiefs of an international gang of swindlers who have been workingthe whole Con tinent of Europe this year with re markable success. This daring gang was exceptionally clever in robbing people on bank premises. At Milan they got 00,000 lire, at Turin about the same, at Rome 30,000 lire, and at Lu cerne 65,000 francs. These men are also believed to be the authors of the recent big jewel robberies at Ostend, Brussels, Basle and Hamburg. Detect ives from a score of cities have gone to Geneva to have a look at the inter esting couple. (Continued from Page 1.) is, as he was confined in a cell for nearly five years, this punishment is equivalent to ten years' imprisonment in a military fortress. She says her husband will be a free man on Octo ber 13. An eminent French lawyer confirms this statement. The answer to Dreyfus' appeal is ex pected within ten days or two weeks. If the decision is adverse and Dreyfus is sent to Corsica his wife may accom pany him. She will not be allowed to live with him, but will have the privi lege of visiting the prisoner on regu lar days. During the Dreyfus trial between eight and nine million words were sent from this place by telegraph. The re ceipts amounted to C1S.000. After the verdict and sentence were announced on Saturday 3,000 direct were sent. RENNES, Sept. 11 A calm prevails here. All the troops and gendarmes quartered in the town and its environs have left, and the journal ists and others interested in the trial have departed since Saturday. The cafes, which for the last few weeks have been thronged with excited crowds, are deserted. This afternoon a solitary gendarme paced up and down before the military prison, and there was not a policeman or a soldier near the Lycee, which last week resembled a barracks. Workmen were busily dismantling the courtroom and packing the chairs, tables and benches on a trolley-car outside. Mme. Dreyfus visited her husband in the prison this afternoon, but not the slightest interest was shown in their meeting by the population. She found him as calm as yesterday. The prison er smoked a pipe today for the first time in many days, which indicated that he was in better spirits than could be expected. -NEW COMPANY First Appearance of the Eccentric Mus ical Comedian EMIL WALTON Th Eminent Young Australian .Baritone. . .
