The mo t Interesting announcement In connection with the Trans vaal affair today IB that the chancellor of the exchequer , Ut. Hon. Sir Michael Hlcks- Heich , has already sanctioned the provisional expenditure of 3,000,000 and that the gov ernment will not exceed that limit without authority from Parliament , which will be nsked to vote a sum not exceeding 8,000,000. A meeting of the war board today dis cussed and drew up arrangements to ensure the route from Durban to Lalng's Nek , so that largo bodies of troops may , on dis embarkation , bo rapidly forwarded up the country to the front without confusion or crowding at the base. It Is stated tonight that the war office has decided that the army corps for eervlce In South Africa shall bo much larger than originally estimated and that It now con sists of over 40,000 men. The preparations for the dlflpntch of this force , Including tht dispatching of British liners , Is steadily nnd satisfactorily proceeding. The Prtrfs association learns that the dis patch drawn up by the cabinet on Friday vraa still unscnt up to this evening. On the other hand , a telegram from Brussells gives "from a well-Informed source" the news that Dr. Leyds , the representative In Europe of the .South African republic , has received confirmation of the report that President Kruger had addressed an ultimatum to Great Britain demanding the withdrawal of the British forces from the frontier within forty-eight hours , and that It was delivered on Monday. Thlt report still lacks official confirmation. The confidence of military authorities at the Capo Is shown by a dispatch received today from Capetown , which states that at a conference between the military author ities ithero and General Sir Stewart White , Q. C. , who will command the British forces In NatfJ , and Lieutenant General Sir Fred erick Walker , held to consider the situation , General White expressed himself as confi dent that the British would bo able to present a. force sufficient to repel any attack. General White , who Intended to go to Dur- , &an pn'board a war snip' , " has iiowrirf'ftrilor1 to cave Unit , abandoned the Idea and will BO hy train tonight.

A dispatch from Johannesburg says that Stnto Secretary Ileltz of the Transvaal In formed a correspondent of the Standard and Diggers' News that the proclamation or martial law In being delayed. In Capetown the opinion prevails that the delay of the Boers In assuming the offensive points to a willingness on the part of the Tranevnal government to allow political counsel to override military ardor nnd that there Is Btlll hope that the Afrikanders' efforts for IJOQCO will prevail. Lord James of Hereford , writing to a correspondent , expresses n fear that the- maintenance of peace IB now Impossible. Sir Kdward Vincent , speaking at Exeter yesterday evening , said ho understood that Sir Redvcrs Buller did not expect the war to be a short one. The peace party Is making the most of the Interval and the anticipated reasscmbliig of Parliament. The executive committee of the Liberal Federation nt a recent meeting adopted n resolution which was communicated to the alllllntod Liberal association throughout the country declaring that war wns unjustified by the facts and urging Liorrt Salisbury to seek n peaceful solution of the difficulty. A meeting of the parliamentary group for th promotion of arbitration yesterday adopted a similar manifesto , declaring in favor of the government renewing the pro- poeal for a Joint commission or a special en voy In the Interest of peace.

The most sensational news from South Africa this morning Is a reiteration of jt-storday'n report of the acquisition by the Transvaal authorities of 600,000 In gold , which was on the way to Capetown from Johannesburg. The con firmation of the story comes from two sources , The Capo Argus a serts thnt the Boers made the seizure at Vereenlgcng , the amount being the week's shipment of golden on tbo nay from the Hand to Capetown ; the treasure was forwarded to Pretoria.

SIR THOMAS UPTON NOT WORRYING Con Illicit t tlmt III * Crnft Will ( .Ivo n Ound Account of Itnclf No Mutter \Vlint Kind of n Ilrcczc There In. i NEW YORK , Oct. 4. The off-racing day was a busy one after all for the sailor men on the two cup racers. Mr. Isclln and Sir J Thomas Llpton , however , employed their hours In different ways. The Columbia went' out for a short trial spin outside Sandy Hook shortly afternoon today , principally to try a new clubtopsall , which Us man aging owner , C. Oliver Iselln , wished to have stretched nnd ready for tomorrow's race. Under mainsail and jib the yacht sailed away from Its mooring and under the In fluence of a fresh southwest breeze It waa coon passing the point of Sandy Hook. Cap tain Barr soon brought the yacht around to wind , when the new top was ready to hoist and In a few moments the big sky- reaching sail wan mnel-hoadcd. H Is one of Hathaway's latest and best productions i and when laced to the topmast nnd gnff It' | ' set like n tailor-made gown on n pretty j woman. After setting taut nnd tacking several times to get the Bolls well etretched the Columbia was headed back for Its mooring buoy In Sandy Hook bay , where It arrived about 4 p. m. The mainsail was stowed and all hands sent to supper on bonrd the tender St. Michaels. C. Oliver loelln , who with Mrs , Iselln nnd their guests , Woodbury Kane , Herbert Leeds and Nowbury Theme , Is quartered on the St. Michaels , said to an Associated Press representative this afternoon : iBclliv SiittnfliMl with Colinuliln. "I am satisfied with Columbia's work during the race , but not with the weather conditions. None of us could tell where the wind wno coming from , not even the sailing master. In all my yachting I do not know when I'veseen a ilukler day than yesterday. With all that , wo had over hauled the Shamrock for the third time when the race was called off. It could not have crossed our bow If It had gone about at that time. Our crew worked well from start to finish. " Asked what ho thought the weather would be for tomorrow's race , Mr. Iselln Bald : "I think -wo shall have a good breeze from the southwest. I hope so , anyway , for I should llko to got one race off my hnnda and know where we stand. " Regarding the criticism that the l ach of the Columbia's mainsail was slack In yes terday's raec , the Columbia's manager sold : "That haa been fixed. It was a little slack , but not enough to affect the yacht's sailing. " It hna been understood In some quarters that Captain Rhodes of the Defender would LXJ on TxKind the Columbia In Its race to lo k after the trimming of the sails and In an adviser's capacity. On hoard the St. Mchaels ) -memiber of the crew said tonight : "Captain Ilhodes has not been with us yet , but we all vrlsh he was along. Ho may come yet and he does he will 1)o welcome. " ISandy , " the CplumWa's mascot ' , U * thn same yellow dog that 'helped to'pIWt the Defender to VictoryHo Is well-fed , slick- looking and carefully guarded .by the stew ard. The crow , to a man , feel that Sandy Is Indispensable to the success of the yacht. Skipper Charley Barr Is not worried a bit about the result of the races. He sticks to his original assertion that the Columbia Is the fastest single stick yacht afloat and that In windward or any other -work It Is more than a match for the Shamrock. Sir Tlioinnw Jfot Worrylnjr. Sir Thomas Lipton Is not worrying over tomorrow's race one bit. On tl'o contrary , when seen today on the Erin , he felt confi dent that his craft would glvo . good ac count of itself , no matter what kind of a breeze there Is. He wants a good fresh ' "breezes " however , so that the relative speed I of the defender and the challenger can be thoroughly demonstrated. Ho had Just re turned from a visit to the Shamrock late thla afternoon when seen by the Associated Press representative. After taking a cup of tea and a little toast. Sir Thomas spoke- about his sail on the old Bchooncr yacht , America , "tho boat that caused all the trouble , " to quote Sir Thomas. Ho said ho had a splendid sail nround the bay for about two hours and that from the speexl the old boat mndo In the etlff southwesterly breeze , he did not wouder that It had "lifted" the cup on the other sldo nearly fifty years , ago. Sir Thomas did not care to make any statement about tomorrow's race ; except that the Shamrock would carry exactly the same sails as It did In yesterday's contest and that Its crew would do their best to cross the finish line first The English ! challenger Is In the best of condition for i the coming race. Not a piece of wire In , Its rigging nor a pieceof canvas wns found ito i ' to bo damaged In the least degree when Its crew looked it over this morning. The i members of the crow are quite as confident as the Shamrock's owner that It will prove a winner and some of them are ready to lay a few guineas if they get the chance. Sir Thomas received h'undreds of cable grams today from all parts of the world , congratulating him on the pplondld show ing his boat made In light air against the defender , "Some of the cables , " said Sir Thomas , "aro from people I do not know person ally , hut that only goes to show what a great Interest Is being taken In these races. One of them read this : 'Tommy , don't make room for your undo. ' " In speaking about the manner In which the course was kept clear Sir Thomas paid : I "I can't got over the great organization. . that has been hero to keep the course clear. I Yesterday's was the clearest wo ever had , or tuo cicarcsi i over saw in ungianu , ana only proves what I said before I came to America , that In all previous races the host boat has always won. I may as well say now that the Shamrock is the fastest boat over built In Britain and the work manship was the best that uoney could buy. I cannot tell what Its cost was , but It Is probably more than you have any Idea of. It cost as much as six Valkyries. The estimates already given are away below the mark. " Chevalier do Martina , the marine artist , who has been commissioned by Sir Thomas to paint a series of pictures of the races , was one of the party that enjoyed a sail on the America. He mid he was delighted with the old champion and admired boats built of wood morn than any others. The chevalier has not yet commenced any of his pictures , but Is making rough sketches , which with the aid of snapshots will glvo him material for his big painting , which will not be commenced until hU return to London. Among Sir Thomas' guests tomorrow on the Erin will bo Hear Admiral Philip , U. S. N. , commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard ; Mr and Mw. Thomas A. Edison , W. Bourke Cockran. Richard Crofter. Rear Admiral Lord Charles Berosford and Lady Berea- ford , Sir Arnold Moreloy , Sir Henry Bur- dott , Charles Russell and the Lord Chief Baron of Ireland , Baron Polios , Rear Ad miral Sampson would have been aboard , but as he-goes to Honipton Roads tomorrow , It would bo Impossible. On Saturday or next Tuesday AOmlrnl Dewey will bo one of Sir Thomas' guests on the Erin. Lord Mlnto of Canada will -witness Sat urday's r crs from the Erin and Rear Ad miral Schloy has accented an Invitation to lx aboard the same day. George Westlng- house will bo a guest on the- same dny. To offset the Columbia's mascot , "Sandy , " the crew of the Erin nnd Shamrock , also have a good luck dog , a email fox terrier pupplc. Ho was laughingly pointed out to the Associated Press man , by Charles llus sell and Mr. Barrio as the rhal of the I i ' American dog. The- puppy eports an cnor- moUB green ribbon , tied In a bow ntthe ' nape of his neck. That ho Is a universal favorite about Sir Thomas' ynclit wns evidenced ' denced by the litter of small cnke and other ! eatables on the usually spotless aft deck of thnt CM ft , Matthew , Cingalese servant of Sir Thomas , and another maecot , Is rehearsing a song to bo rendered upon the announcement of the Shamrock's victory. It la eel to the tune of "Wearing of the Green , " the last line of the chorus being : "Wo'il say good bye , Mlstolre Yankee , "When wo bring that flagon b ck. " When asked about the condition of De signer iFlfe , Sir Thomas said : "Dr. Reid Meek y. my doctor , Is with him and I understand - dorstand ho Is not much bettor. 1 am very sorry , for I need him very much. Ills Ill ness at this tlmo la unfortunate. " The Indications at Oalleo. N , J. , are that 1 the wind for tomorrow's roc * will be from , the southwest , veering to south , Indica tions of going to the southeast by noon. Thcro will bo quite a hard Fen. EXPERT OPINION ON THE RACE Sitllnri ninciiK > < ( lie .McrKN nf the Cni n 'fonilor mill ClinllfiiKor. NEW YORK. Oct. ! . John R. Spears , the nautical expert , says : "In spite of the fact that a lack or wind prevented the yachts covering tholr course within the time limit , and In spite of the manifest superiority ot Captain Hogarth's seamanship , the details of the trial show that when the wind comes allko to both rolumblatenslly outruns , outreaches - reaches and outpoints 'shamrock In winds from fresh down to light.

The momentary disap pointment that the first day's contest for the America's cup should have resulted In no race has been followed" by a feeling ot satisfaction thai Shamrock has shown itselt a worthy challenger , and hope runs high that It will wipe out a long record of defeat. Among yachtsmen great admiration Is ex pressed for the way In which Captain Ho garth Is reported to have handled the yacht. The afternoon papers comment In much the same terms ns the morning papers. All think that the chances of Shamrock and Co lumbia are about equal and all are grattllea nt the extreme friendliness displayed by the Americans.

" The marqjjis of Dufferln , commodore of the > Royal Ulster Yacht club , replying to the Associated Press , telegraphs ns follows : "From yesterday's abortive race It Is quite Impossible to form a reliable opinion as to the result of future contesls. " Mr. Thornycroft of the famous firm of shipbuilders , who constructed the Sham rock , In response to an Inquiry from the As- socinted Press as to yesterday's race , sent the following dispatch : "I consider the result favorable to the Shamrock. The light and shifty wind that ' prevailed renders comparison very liable to bo misleading , but the contest should be clcse. " The following cablegram has been re ceived from Sir Thomns Llpton at his Lon don office : I "Shamrock did splendidly.
