Kragos’e Diplomatic Reply.
Pusvmua. April 27.-Pmldcnt Kru-
ger's reply to Secretary Chamberlain will
be published shortly. it is understood
that it is a diplomatic masterpico and is
substantially as follows:
The Transvaal government objects to
the discussion of reforms on' the ground
that England admittedly cannot interfere
with internal affairs. At the same time
private suggestions from the British gov-
ernment will always receive consideration.
If the revision of the London convention
and the superueiling of it by a treaty of
sanity and commerce containing a most
favored notion clause cannot be discussed
unless the alleged grievances of the utt-
iandere are also discussed, the Transvaal
government prefers to leave matters in
state quo‘ and will limit its deinande to an
indemnity for the amoson raid.
The president nte to the necessity of
his presence at the meeting of the mike
read as an objection to his visiting Eng.
land and suggests that matters should not
boprceecd new. England can, however,
he says, still facilitate the visit :by accept-
ing the basis of discussion which the pres-
idcnt has already proposed. ‘Be frankly
admits that his administration is iinprov-
able and that the government is not al-
ways in the right, but he takes objection
to the offer of u guarantee against foreign

necessary for that purpose.
