SOUTH AFRICA.

MR CHAMBERLAIN’S VISIT,

By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright

Capetown, Jan. 8. Mr Chamborlain, at the Pretoria banquet, delivered a speech similar to tbut cabled on November Gtb, omitting tho reference to rebels. He emphasised the fact that the war had left sufferings avid losses on both sides. The Government policy was one of union and conciliation, for this promoted union. Everybody desired conciliation, but it was not cotieiliatiou to try and meet their opponents' views if they simultaneously alienated friends. (Cheers-) It was useless to make concessions if they were interpreted as weakness and used for advancing fresh demands. He advocated besides alliance the fusion of the races.

Mr Chamberlain stated that tho Bootleaders had accepted as frankly as anyoue could desire tho result of tho war and tho terms of settlement, and ho accepted their assurances. Ho behoved them to bo perfectly sincere. Great Britain would ,exocuto tho terms of settlement in the spirit and in the letter, and expected tho Boers to do likowise.

He hoped and prayed that whatever controversies might ariso regarding tho tuture Lhere would bo none on racial lines. The prosperity of tho country was dependent upon the realisation of that hope. Regarding contributions to the cost of tho war, ho said ho would rather return j, home empty-handed than bo the bearer of an arrangement extorted from an unwilling people- Ho announced, finally, that ho and Lord Milner had agreed to a scheme to expedite tho settlement of all compensation claims.
