that u collision will be averted but Dr

I havo culled upon tho clwrtoreMl com-
pany to repudiate Dr Jamesons pro
ccodtng of whlrh the company sajs it Is

Mr Cecil Rhodes of Capo Colony has
stated that Dr Jameson moled without

it Is reported that Dr Jomcsem wroto

Tansvnll but wo are hero In roply to
the Invitation of the principal residents
of the land to assist ihein In their de-
mands for Justice and tho ordinary rights
of every citizen of a civilized State
It npi < eara from thin letter that Dr
Jnmeson was not Induced to take the
extraordinary stop of Invading a filendly
country In tlmo of pence by tho fears
of life of women or children or n native
uprising but In order to support a poll

As admlnUtiator of the land owned bj
