THE TRANSVAAL.
Mr Schreiner asserts that the interpretation placed on his telegram to President Kruger is completely erroneous. He was only anxious to prevent the premature passing of the franchise before the arrival of Imperial despatches. The Transvaal conspirators will only be charged with incitement to riot. Reluctance on the part of the Volksraad to concede President Kruger a free hand in regard to the Johannesburg fort and the dynamite monopoly has caused the President to attend executive meetings since Friday, be, lieving that he has lost their confidencethus causing rumours of his resignation. General Joubert and Herr Schalk, chairman of the Volksraad, assured President Kruger that they still had the utmost confidence in hira. They persuaded him to attend a secret session when the Volksraad adhered to the cancellation of the dynamite monopoly.
