THE TRANSVAAL RAID.
Press AssociaUon—By Telegraph—Copyright.
London, March 3,
In the course of his examination, Mr Cecil Rhodes declared that he would never repeat such an illegality as the Jameson raid. He admitted that he held 50,000 shares in the Chartered Company. A suggestion by Mr Labouchere that the interests of his pocket dictated the Jameson raid gave rise to a scene. Mr Rhodes asserted that the Uitlanders were treated worse than the Kaffirs, and the ore was taxed at the rate of 36s per ton.
March 4
Mr Chamberlain advises Sampson and Davis, two Englishmen connected with the Transvaal raid and left in prison at Pretoria, to petition for clemency and submit to banishment. He states that their refusal to accept release will not assist the redress of the Rand's grievances.
