"While Admiral Dewey is au extremely modest man, he has no mock modcity.

The only thing thst could possibl.au se this government to effer to midi .te between Great Britain and tlTranvaal republic wonld be for ttformer f. overnrsent to join in the ri

quest already indirectly made by tllatter. If there is war, as now seen

probable, this government will mailtain strict neutrality. In notify in r tlgovernment of the Transvaal Rtpubltnat the United States could not reognise Gen. Jamea R. O'Beirne,N-*w Tork, as its diplomstic represeita live, the Department of State sinply followed a rule as old as our goorament.not to allow an Araericis tizf n to diplomatically representf .reign country at Washington.
