IT WAS KNOWN FOR SOME TIME
THAT DISAFFECTION EXISTED. (Received October 30, 10 a.m.) LONDON, 29th October. Sir James Sivewright. in an interview, said South Africans in London had known for some time of the disaffection among a, section of the Boers. An important factor had been the Labour crisis in January last, when rifles and ammunition were distributed among the burghers, and none of the weapons were returned. Many secret meetings had been held and he (Sir J. Sivewright) believed General Delarey was going to one when he was shot. [Sir James Sivewright was educated at Aberdeen University (M.A. and LL.D.). From 1877 to 1885 he was General Manager of the South African telegraphs; from 1890 to 1892, Commissioner of Crown Lands and Public Works, Cape Colony ; and from 1896 to 1898, Commissioner of Public Works, Cape Colony.]
