THE TRANSVAAL.
SPEECH BY MR CHAMBERLAIN. BOER AGGRESSION AND INTRIGUE. EIRM ATTITUDE OF THE . GOVERNMENT. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. • LONDON, June 27.
Mr Chamberlain, in a speech at Birmingham, said that four times during the past fifteen years the aggressions and intrigues of the Boers had almost occasioned war. They had imposed on the British taxpayer an increased military expenditure of half a million annually. The refusal of substantial justice to the Uitlanders was a standing menace to the peace of South Africa, and injurious to the British position and paramountcy. Neither the Government nor the country would allow patience to become indistinguishable from weakness, or moral pressure to become a farce. The Government intended to support Sir Alfred Milner and see the thing through. The misgovemment of the Transvaal was a festering sore, poisoning the atmosphere of South Africa. With a few exceptions the Press commend the xinmiess of the Government.
