AN IMPERTINENT DESPATCH.
KRUGER WAVERING,
LONDON, September 7,
The reply of the Transvaal is prolix and impertinent, confirming yesterday's version. It admits that Great Britain is, under convention and international law, entitled to protect British subjects, and further agrees to a Commission of delegates to test the genuineness of the proposals. It states that the Transvaal awaits the details of the conference and information Avhether it will inquire into the scope of arbitration, also Avhether the Free State joins.
It is expected Great Britain will tomorrow fix the date for the acceptance or rejection of Sir A. Alilner's minimum.
The latest indications are that President Kruger is Avavering.
Lord Wolseley and Sir EA-elyn Wood were closeted for some hours in the War Office.
