The cruiser, Konigsberg, was superior to the three British East African cruisers. She was based at Dar-es-Salaam, capital of German East Africa. Her proximity to the steamship routes from the Cape and Natal to the Suez Canal, was considered a grave menace. The British, operating out of Zanzibar, set out to find her. She remained elusive for many months, sinking ships and undermining morale before she was sunk in the Rufiji Delta. Her guns were removed and used throughout the campaign in the GEA by German troops under Von Lettow-Vorbeck.

An important document relating to the Jameson Raid. Contains the four charges laid by H.J. Coster, Staatsprocureur of the Z.A.R., against Philips and the 63 other members of the Transvaal Reform Committee. The four charges related to the raid led by Leander Starr Jameson. They were accused, as residents of the Z.A.R. of having "met een vijandig oogmerk, om de onafhankelijkheid of veiligheid van deze Republiek te storen, te benadeelen of in gevaar te bregen, hebben onderhandeld, samengespannen… met… Leander Starr Jameson…met een gewapende en vijandigen troep, binnen het grondgebied van deze Republiek te komen en een vijandigen inval te doen en naar Johannesburg voornoemd door te trekken.". Some of the more prominent members of the Committee were tried and fined. Very few spent any time behind bars for their role in the Raid. Coster was not so fortunate. He had a brilliant legal career in the Z.A.R., but was killed and buried on the battlefield of Elandslagte just a few days after the start of the war.
