LONDON , Sopt. 0. ( New York World Cn-
olcgrani Special Telegram. ) The decision
ot the HrlUuli cabinet to dispatch 10,000
troops to Natal has pleased the war party
here , though the moro bolllcoso among them
express regret that the outcome ot the cabi
net meeting was not to dispatch an ulti
matum Salisbury's moderating Influence
outweighed for the present Chamberlain's
desire to force a war. When additional
troops arrive In South Africa the Hrltlsh
force there will bo double the strength It
was two months ago. All warlike prepara
tions are at nn end for ten days. The
danger of the situation at present lies In
the dlspjto over the meaning to bo attached
to the word suzerainty. The convention of
1SSI , which the Hoora profess themselves
willing to stand by , omits the word su
zerainty altogether , while the convention ot
3SSI contains It. The later convention gave
the Transvaal Internal Independence sub
ject to Britain's paramountey In foreign af
fairs. That paramountey Kruprr admits ,
but the Hoers believe the Word su/ernlnty
means forfelturo of Intornn'l Independence ot
their coa&try. If Insisted on war It ) almost
certain.

blood If a war breaks out ? Will they stop
our food supply ? How long will It take the
British to fight their way up ? ' etc.
"As darkness falls the men go to the
places of resort to discuss the grim topic of
shells and death , and the women go to tholr
