The Boers Claims.

Loxpoxy, June 12—A _ blue book has been issued giving the correspondence with the Traosvaal regarding its claims against Great Britain growing out of the Jameson reid. Apart from tbe well-remembered demand for £1,000,000 for moral and in~ tellectual damages, the British Govermment

disputed several ef the items of material damage, and atked for particulars, Colonial Secretary Chamberlain wrote that he could

hardly suppose that the Transvaal was serious in claiming the enormoue sum of £600,000. Mr. Reitz, the Transvaal Secretary of State, replied that there could be no question as to the justice of the claim, which was reckoned not only ou material lors, but also om abstract insul:. He eubmitted details -which included £39,480 for clothing and £2,422 for shoeing horses, while only £234 was claimed forthe relatives of the killed and wounded Boers.

The accounts were sent to the British South Africa Company, which severely criticised tLem, contending that they were in the main unjustifiable, and suggesting arbitration,

Mr. Chamberlain declared that the suggestion was reasonable, and is await- ing the Transvaal acceptance of it.

To Take Effect on July SirLouis Davies Warned

TO ATTORNEY-GENERAL Mc- DONALD.

Mr, Martin Ventilates the the Mat-

ter in Parliament.

(Spect4L CoRRESPONDENCE.)

Orrawa, June 13.—Some days ago, in reply toaquestion, Sir Louis Davies exe plained that Wm. D. MeMillan, light- keeper at Wood Island, P. E. Islasd, had been dismissed for offensive partisanship; and when asked who recommended his dismissal Sir Louis etated that he did it on

hig own reeponsibility. Yesterday in moving for} papers on the subject Mr. Martin explained that Mr. McMillan’s father bad been appointed light keeper by the McKenzie Government in 1876. The late Government had passed on the ap- pointment to his son who was the euppori of his widowed mother. This young man had never b2en an offensive partisan. He had not even voted; and according to, Mr. Martin be was dismissed because he would not submit to coercion by heelers who wanted him to vote in support of the Local Government.

Mr. Martin had information from a friend of the dismissed officer. This gen- tleman stated that he had been instructed by one of the party workers to tell Mr. McMillan “* that if his office was worth anything to him he had better come to the polls ou election day and give the local Goveroment candidate a rhove.” The gentleman replied that Mr. McMillan had no vote. This was nothing to the campaigner who said “ it would be made all right.” However, Mr. McMillan did noi go tothe polls and give a “ ebove ” to the Attorney»General of Prince Edward Island who was a candidate. Since then be bad been dismissed and Mr. Martin was quite eare that it was ali for want of the * shove.”

An investigation was held into the con- ductof young McMillan a yearand 4 half before, but nothing came oat of ie If he had beea guilty of pertisanship or any other offence be would have been dismiss ed then. If he had alluwed himself to be made a partisan on the Government side in the local election be would not have been dismissed yet. As it is the young man, aod his mother were turned out at the approach of winter, aad left without a hom» ora means of support. Sir Louis

Davies ehould say, if he iiked, that he did

it on his own responsibility; but Mr.

Martin kuew and coald prove,if Sir

Louis Davies would allow bim to read bis own private letter explaining the cir- cumstances, that be did iton the request and at the dictation of Provincial Min- isters.

Two, or three members laughingly sug- gested that Martin should read the Jetter ; but he said he would not do so unless Sir Louis would consent.

The Minister gave nosign of consent and the Jetters were not read, though Mills, of Anpapolis suggested that Mr. Martin might eend them over to the Postmaster General to be published with the next batch of private and confidential letters that Mr. Mulock should print in his blue book. Mr. Martin stated that he knew of the request from the Loca] Minister that Mr. McMillan would be dismissed and that it was done on account of bis refusal to give the Ministers a “shove.”

Then be went on to say that a succeseor had been appointed who was over the age that the law provided and who therefore could not be legally appointed. Mr. Martin asked Sir Louis Davies if he nad not evidence ia his department that the new lighthouse keeper was more than 60 year old.

Sir Louis could not remember whether he had ornot. It might be so; but he would bring down all the correspondence. Mr. Martin offered some observations about other dismiseals in Privce Edward I:land including one made to provide a position for the man who protested Mr. Backett’s election.

Mr. Martin was going on to explain about some election whiskey proceedings, with this appointee, when the Speaker ruled out the discussion and it was deferre ed until Mr. Davies should ask for another vote in bis department.
