Taart Kruger, a son of the Presi dent; and chief of the Secret Service Department, offered him £200 and a good billet in the Government ser vice in the event of his proving that the plot was & cale of conspiracy on the part of tthe British Government, the idea being that the revelation would strengthen the President's hands.
The disclosures, says the Daily Mail's correspondent have created an enormous sensation. The Star says:

"The squalid tale now unfolded has rarely been surpassed in any country, as a revelation of shameless impos ture and unscrupulous trickery by re sponsible agents of a Government sup posed to be civilised.
"That the President's son, a paid offical of the State, should offer a re ward for the manufacture of evidence implicating a friendly State is' not an every-day matter like the ill-treat ment of a Kaffir."
