LONDON. Oct. o The follow ins
dispatch from a correspondent who has
been at IJloemfontein ami Pretoria has
been telegraphed to the Chronicle:
"CHAItLESTOWN. Tinder Majuba
Hill, Tuesday. I have just crossed the
frontier in a truck, which was placed
at my disposal by Commandant Gener
al Joubert, who reached the frontier
today and is staying in the main Hoer
camp on the Hand river. I had a long
talk with General Joubert in the
train. He said he deeply regreueii tne
impending war, which he had done his
utmost to avoid. He wonders that
Queen Victoria never answered the
letter he addressed to her on the sit
uation. "I notice everywhere a general devo
tion to the Queen and a pathetic be
lief that she will stop the war. Gen
eral Joubert still believes in a South
African Confederacy under an English
protectorate and attributes the pres
ent crisis to Cecil Rhodes and Mr.
Chamberlain. His last words' to nie
were. I leave it now to God. It may
be His will that the Transvaal i-hall
perish. I can only do my part.'
"The General was enthusiastically
welcomed at the Boer camp. The Hoers
are undisciplined and unorganized, and
the ambulance arrangements are very
defective, but the commissiariat is fair
ly good. A majority of the Uoers are
unwilling to fight, but arc quietly con
fident. They will overrun Natal, at-

the Indian ;ervi !!? has tU'if'i
prominently in all th ,;re.it Italian
campaigns of late year.". He was with
General Gordon at Khartoum In lv..
when the latter was killed, and h.i
many reminiscences of that famou of
ficer, with whom h was for many
years an intimate associate.
General Sanford has great admira-
tion for America and American. He'

and in the Philippines. He aid. Jut
before leaving:
"The American soldier, with his
rough, free manliness, is to 1 com
pared with none that I have seen out
side of our own 'Tommy Atkins.' I
have watched him at Manila and here
In Honolulu, and the more I nee of him
the more I like him. The American
soldier and the Hrltlsh soldier at to
me. much the same man: they are of I
the same manners, crack the Mnu-!
jokes and have the same way of look
ing at thlncs. Put them In the same
uniform and I do not Inlleve I could
tell them apart."
General Sanfonl believes that we
are right In keeping the rniupptnes.
but he thinks America will find It a
task of years in subduing and putting
them in order, as I !n eland ha found
it with India. On this point h- .said: j
"General Otis can not subdw th j
natives of the Philippines and ore in-
ize a civil government In oil" rain-J
palgn with any number of m'i. 1 give S
him four years at least to accompli!!
that most difficult task."
General Sanfonl will make many
stops in different parts of the rnlud
States before he finally leaves New
York for his homo In london.

the untrained men are mounted. They
maintain a high reputation for shoot
ing. I hey have no unliorm. All com
plain bitterly at being compelled to
leave their wives and children ami
farms at the mercy ofthe Kaffirs.
There is much confusion in the camp.
Heavy rains have deluged the lands
and blocked the roads, and horses, ox
en and tents are mixed up together.
The men are seen arguing with their
officers, but there is no excitement or
loose firing.
"It is difficult to say exactly, but I
suppose there are G.000 men in the
Rand river laager and others are con
tinning to arrive. The horses are in
excellent condition. I only saw five
guns of a heavy French pattern. The
heliograph is constantly "working on
the hills.
"Despite the heavy rain the grass Is
still dry and all the forage and wood
required must be supplied from a dis
tance. The country, both open and
rocky, is well suited to the operations
of irregular cavalry.
"There are no English troops here
except one outpost, which is stationed
at Majuba Hill. But I am not allowed
to telegraph information as to the
movements of English troops. The
Boers deprecate the general panic
among the English In the Transvaal,
who seem to think they are savages.
They have constructed a few earth
works to defend the railway and hold
a good technical position. They com
plain, however, of the lack of locomo
tives and the difficulty of working a
single line."
The Daily Telegraph correspondent
at Newcastle, Natal, sends to his paper
a similar message to that of the Daily
Chronicle. He says he is sure that
half of the Boers will offer no serious
resistance to the British troops.

"The Free State." says he. "has
made no preparations and It Is doubt
ful if it can put a thousand men in the
field at present. Thousands of the
Uitlanders are unahle to leave the
Transvaal and tneir terror is so
great that many of them have joined
the Boer levies, as the best means of
escaping. Johannesburg can offer no
serious defense if attacked, and Pre
toria, despite its live forts, is hopeless
ly weak. Practically the whole Hoer
population has been called to arms.
and the result has been a strangely
armed and garbed guerilla mob of 20.-
000 or thereabouts. It is declared that
the defective German cartridge cases
have all been recalled and iresn am
munition made in America is being
substituted. Thousands of the burg
hers are attired in khaki and puga
rees, so it is difficult to distinguish
them from the British troops.
"Last Friday the Boer Government
arrived at the conclusion that the real
danger of British attack lies on the Na
tal side and thousands of men who had
been sent in the direction of Delagoa
Bay at Rhodesia were recalled and dis
Datched toward Standerton. I am sat
isfied that General Joubert has 13.000
men between fctanuerion ana oiks
rust. and am positive that he will in
vade Natal with that strength. Cer
tainly serious and bloody actions are
impending as soon as the Boers have
recovered from the fatigue of travel.
There is no doubt, however, that the
women and children will be well
treated, as will also probably unarmed
citizens."
