ENGLAND PREPARING FOR WAR.
IF KRUGER DOES NOT RECEDE,
WAR MUST FOLLOW.
(Per Mail Steamer.)
Auckland, This Day
Lord Wolseley is busy at tbo War Office preparing for possible troubles in Africa. Effective lists of first-class reserves are prepared, and tbe trans portation for the First Army Corps is provisionally arranged. Officers on furlough bave been warned to hold themselves in readiness to return to tbeir regiments.
A cablegram from the Orange Free State declares that while the State is using its influence at Pretoria to obtain reforms for the Uitlanders in the Transvaal, the railway authorities here sent all tbeir available rolling stock to Johannesburg to be ready for a possible exodus of tbe population. There is a consensus of opinion among prominent Uitlanders and South African capitalists that tbe British Government has gone too far to recede with dignity, and if Kruger does uot recede war must follow.
