LONDON, Jan. 9-OutwArdly, at Ienst,
there Is little change in the political
crisis between Germany and Great Bris-
ain, brought about, it Ia asserted, by
Emperor Williams support of the South
African republic In face ,of the suzer.
alnty OF Great Britain over The Trans
vaal.
The dispatch from Berlin 10 the Times
published this morning, saying that IL
IS explained that Germany only desired
TO protect German residents and its CON.
sulate at Pretoria, by d%ispatching an
armed force from Dslagoa Bay, and
mat no arrangement OF the subject had
previously been mndo with Portugal,
hastented to produce q better feeling.
But this slight change for the better has
special dispatch to day FROM Pretoria,
capital OF tho Transvaal, saying that
tae Beers demand the surrender OF all
British rights and epzerainty over the
TFansvsal. and toe pre- empsion OF Dell

panY. II Is further stated that the
boers have arrested, on tho charge OF
treason, eight leaders of the recent
ahShS VIC O~lsl6uU6rS OF UO-
h~annesburg.
These demands, il the dispatch is
based on fact. coupled with the pre-
vlously reported demands of the Beers

into the Transvaal, and the imposition

The opposition TO the demands OF She
Roers. however, would mainly rest ON
the fact that is is generally admitted
that they are instigated on the whols
by Emperor William and That theyform
part Of . ssudted opposition upon his
msJssty's part to the colonial policy Of
Great Britain in AfricA.
The Berlin and Vienna newspapers re
gard the wardke preparations OF Great
Britain as having no Importance, how
ever, as being more In the nature OF o
political movement than q military I'm.

oerned; but the same periodicals take q
more serious view Of the proposed
strengthening OF the British forces tgs
South Afrios, which step is reghrsedSl.s |,

AT tbs same time, IL should ha-&s@as,
the chances Of war between Great,
Britain and Germany are looked upon
az being remote and there Is a decided
tone OF o backdown in the uttersnoe OF
the German press towards Great Britain.
THESE better feelings referred to, how

from Pretoria. announcing the extreme
demands of the South African republic
for the surrender of all British rights
and suzerainty, ETC., over the Transvsal
