KRUGER AND AMERICA.
Paris, Aug. 10. Notwithstanding the purely speculative despatches announcing that President Kruger of the Transvaal will undertake a trip to the United States in the autumn, he himself is quite undecided about it. This much is known, that Dr Leyds, the Transvaal Minister to Europe, urges the President to make the voyage, but Kruger, who long ago lost confidence in Dr Leyds, it is said, persistently asks : 11 What good will my going to America do ’} ” Among the European diplomats it has been a matter of accepted information that when President McKinley was sounded upon this subject some months ago he said that he could receive Mr Kruger only informally and not as the head or representative of a State, so that, despite liis personal sympathy, he would beg to point out that it would be better from all points of view not to seek such a reception. Mr Eloff, President Kruger’s grandson, passed through Paris on his way from the Riviera back to Holland. He said that arrangements have been completed to have Mr Kruger spend the fall and winter in the south of France.
