SURPRISE RUMOUR.
S. AFRICAN AMALGAMATION. LONDON, June 14. Government circles have been prised, says the "Morning Tost" political correspondent by an announcement by General Hertzog, Prime Minister of South Africa, that the Union probably would take over the administration of Swaziland in two years' time, and of Basutoland and Bechuanaland soon afterwards. It is emphatically pointed out that there is no warrant for any such assumption as the two principal conditions of the transfer laid down in the South Africa Act still remain to be fulfilled, namely, that a transfer can occur only with the consent of the native populations of the protectorates and the consent of Parliament.
