Irishmen offer to fight i 1 Rand Sou* of Krln Form a Corp* to Uelp President Krugrr and It 1* Sxld Teu.,.Thousand Are llrudy to Sail Vrom New York. XfOpDOX, Sept. 14 ?A representative of the AssbciAtod Pross learned today that the British message to the Transvaal does not* demand a reply in 4a hours, the exact wording being a request for "an immediate reply." The message is not an ultimatum, in the generally accepted sense of tho word. It expresses tho hope that President Kroger will accept tho propositions to "relieve the present tension." Tho only fiart which is at all aggressive is the reiterated declination of tho British government to discuss (he matter of OYereigUlj in ttuy kuujw Ui iui UI. The British officials refuso to deny >. affirm the correctness of the latest Pretoria dispatches, saying tho Bntisli terms are as outlined in the t-pecial dispatch from Pfutoria, cabled to the Associated Press lasr night, namely; a 6-year franchise, a greater representation for the gold holds in the vollrtrand, equality for the British and Dutch m the volkarttad and equality for the now burghers in regard tb presidential aud other olectious. A spefcial dispatch to tlie Pali Mail Gaxette froui Cane Town says tho British reply is regarded as equivalent to an ultimatum and the correspondent's adadvices from Pretoria indicate that war U inevitable. A Pretoria special to tho Cape Times s?yn the Tranuvaai has notified the miners of Italy that it will give them a safe conduct and protection iu case they Wish to remain in the Transvaal. The report that the Hand Irishmen hate formed a corps to _hoij> Prosideiit received there from Now York saying 10,000 Irishmen there are ready to help the Transvaal. The Orange-Free State burghers are epokted fo bo bitterly divided over tho merits of tho controversy aud their prebable course iu case of war. NEW OllT TEST fN GEORGIA.
