Berlin, Jan. 11.-Throughout the week
the Transvaal question has monopoliz-
ed public attention. 1t is the unani-
nous feeling in Germany that the JAM
eson raid was due TO connivance upon
the part of the British government, in
spite Of official denials. and all Ger
/ many is intensely but quietly anti-EnS-
lish. This feeling is finding vent IN
resolutions passed by the colonial and
other associations in favor Of Trans

IS expressing hostility to England The

BRITISH INSOLENCE.
The attacks made upon the emperor
by the London press are regarded here
as being typical of British insolence,
and the claim Of suzerainty rights upon
the part of Great Britain is answered
by quoting the wording of the conven-
ton Of 1884, in which the British crown
expressly waived all rights, save ON one
point This is also the view taken of
the situation by the German govern
ment, and minute and frequent instruc-
tons have been sent TO the German

An official of the German foreign Of
fee said today:
mo serious trouble is expected. The
main quarrel Is one picked by the Brit
ish press, and not by the British gov
eminent. Germany insists simply on
the status quo,> which will suffice for
the T'ransvaal to develop its independ-
ence and resources. All speculation
beyond that is baseless. In insisting
upon the independence of the Transvaal

rope, and Great Britain does not dis
regard this warming to keep her hands
off the soil of that brave little nation"
GERMANY IN THE TRANSVAAL

that Germany has big commercial in
terests in the Transvaal. For instan-
ces, the National Zeitung recalls that
the Delagoa Bay railroad was mainly
constructed by Dutch and German CAPT
tai, while 10000. 900 marks are invested
in the best Transvaal gold mines In
important factories have been built
in the Transvaal by Germans, and the
Siemens company has erected there the
most important electric power trans
mission plant in the world, producing
1000 horse power.
It is limited that the reichstag will
shortly be asked TO vote several million
marks with which to substitute a line
"a steamers between Germany and De-
lagoa bay.
