He concluded by saying, “ My reply to Mr Chamberlain’s despatch will show the Transvaal people that we are a Government.” Judge Kotze has issued a manifesto in which he asks' the country to decide whether it will continue to be governed autocrat. Capetown, March 17. Mr Rhodes says that tho present Government of tho Transvaal only exists on a basis of fifteen thousand votes, and embarrasses tho union of South Africa.
