LONDON, Sept. 30, (New York
World Cablegram.) I obtained last
night from a high ministerial source
tho following authentic facts concern
Ing yesterday's fateful mooting of the
British cabinet. When the ministers
assembled they were already in pos
session of a draft of Chamberlain's
proposed ultimatum to the Boer repub
lic The terms of ute settlement laid
down were:
1. The substitution of the articles eft
tho 1'retorla convention of 1881, for
those of the London convention of 1884,
respecting tho Uoer republic's relations
with foreign Dowers, This substltu
Hon means the abolition of all rights
on the part of the public to deal with
foreign powers aim would amply .recall
Dr. ijcyds as Doer commissioner In

specting aliens adopted by .the republic
iilnce 188i. This wouldJemovc nil dis
abilities placwl by Bticoesslvo .Uoer
ordinances on tho outlandors.
X Tnc granting of municipal nuto-.-nomy
to tlio Jland. This would' give
control of all local affairs such as
police, sanitation, .and so forth, to the
district jnaluly Inhabited by the .out
Jander population, it Is the .rovlvnl
of a scheme af homo nllo for tho Hand,
suggested by Chamberlain to Krugor
after tho Jamleson raid and contempt
uously reruswi .iy jtruitcr.

lillltles. At present Catholics and Jews
are disabled xrom holding many ofllccs,

fi. Tho disarmament. of tho two great

Tho report that llr.ailn demands n

of 1612 with Portugal under which It
Is empowered to import .arms and nm

These jnny be accepted ,as .entirely
accurate, precise British proposals.
They wero adopted by tho .cabinet, but
no dispatch was forwarded to Pretoria

Never before perhaps, did a trium
