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.

Washington, Sept 14. ? A cable me.'Bage
was received today at tbo war nopartmeut
concerning tho transport Tar- I
tar, which ixis been hold at Hong-Kong. |
Secretary Root thought it was of millcieat
importanoe to take t?? tlie prosi- i
deut for cou si tie rat ion. Tho dispatvh
has not been made public.
Attor Socretury lioot's return from !
the Whito House he had a confereueo '
with tho commissioner of navigation, !
Mr. Chamberkiin, and also decided to
take up tho matter of the Tarter with
tho state department with a viow of
having the ship cleared at llong Ko:i;;. |
A dispatch was sent to C'olonoi Met- j
oolto of the Twentieth Kansas, who is
in command of the troops on tho transport,
asking if in his opinion tho ship
was overcrowded and it there was just
ground for complaint of the subsistence
furnished tho men. A dispatch was
also sent to General Otis asking for
fifrtitor fhformation concerning the Tartar
and tho supplies with which she
was furnished.
No dohuito decision can bo reached
until the state department has comtiiucated
with our embassy at Loudon, as
it is a question which must bo settled
by the Pruish "government.
A private cable message from IlongIvong
says complaint was made by tho
WO discharged regulars ou board the
Tautar of overcrowding, whereupon
clearance was refused. The Twentieth
Katies is vulusiteor infantry, with Genera
I I'lfust^n i*
nitiuo nil complaint and are anxious to
have clearance granted the shin 111 order
that they may proceed homeward.
Tho army transport Tartar, which is
reported detained at Hong-Kong bv tho
Lettish authorities, was chartered by
the United States and is owned by the
Canadian Pacific ivcatnshin company.
