GERMANY NEEDS WATCHING.
Britain Cannot Afford to Close H.
Eyps.

LONDON, Jan. 15-A Berlin dis
patch to the Post says: THE smoke
or the first encounter has been dissi-
pated, but Great Britain cannot afford
to close its eyes to any symptoms Of
fresh German movements. The watch
on Delagoa bay must stand as fast
as the German watch on the Rhine.
The attempts of the North German
Gazette and other papers to veer to
the Venezuela side may gain for Ger
many Venezuelas alliance in African
questions. 1t will secure her nothing
further"
The Belgian government, in addition
to the United States government, has
asked Great Britain to watch the in
terests of its subjects in the Trans
vaal In consequence of these repre-
sentations, Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain has telegraphed to the gov
ernor of Cape Colony, expressing ap-
prehension that the numerous arrests
made will disorganiZe the Rand in
dustries, inquiring what the prisoners
are accused of, whether bail will be
allowed, and what are the penalties
for the misdeeds of which they are
accused. Gov. Robinson has teIe-
graphed to the colonial office that he
has completed arrangements for the
transfer OF the prisoners now held by
the Transvaal government at the Natal
border. The Chronicle believes that
the newly appointed governor of Brit

town, will have authority to deal with

land, who has just arrived from South
Africa, as the representative here Of a
company which is to hold an interna-
tional industrial exhibition at Johannes
burg next May, speaking of the diff
culties in the Transvaal blames the
Americans for the Jameson raid fiasco.
He says that when he left johannesburg
six weeks ago the Uitlanders were moY-
ing in expectation of Jameson's inva-
sion, and that all outsiders except
Americans were prepared to welcome
him. The immigrants from the United
States stood in the way, however, and
to their efforts was doubtless due the

they resented Boer oppression, were op-
posed to any movement that might end
in. the TransVaal becoming a colonial
possession of Great Britain. The rea-
son they gave for this attitude was that
If Great Britain came into possession of
the country the high wages obtainable
there now would be reduced before the

When Miss Florence Faison, daughter of
one of the finest families in Virginia, met
Marion Butler, that young was poor,
obscure fellow who was trying to support
large family of brothers and sisters by edit
ing a country paper in North Carolina. At
that time the aristooratic Miss Faison little
imagined she would one day be Mrs. Marion
Butler. Butler and loved, and at once
struck in boldly and told Florence exactly
what was in his soul. She listened and loved
him for his love of her. They became en-
gagged, and her people fought the match fu-
riously. But she would not be Eainsaid. and
so they were married. Before the honeymoon
was over Butler ran for the United States
senate on the ticket Of the Farmers Alliance.

HAVANA, Jan. 1.-THE presence Of
an additional force of insurgents NOV
ing through the province of Santa
Clara and in the direction of the
province Of Matanzas will naturally
prevent the Spanish commanders from
sending into the Havana district all
the troops they intended to draw there
with the intention of driving the in
surgents now in this vicinity into Pinar
del Rio westward, until they were all
placed in a position where they could
be either eXterminated or forced to
surrender. The aptain-general has
been forced to meet this insurgent
movement by sending back towards
Santa Clara several columns of troops
which were on their way through Mat
anzas to reinforce his army in this
vicinity. The insurgents, it is be-
lieved, will thus be able to continue
for some time longer their almost un-
checked operations, and if the Span
ish generals are not able to prevent
junction of all the insurgent forces
now in this vicinity the situation will
become more critical. Estimating that
the insurgents now have about $4,000
men, more or less we'll armed, in this
vicinity, and that they are reinforced
by, say, 10000 more well armed men
from the eastward, Gomez will have,
SO friends of his cause claim, quite a
fair-sized army, and should be able,
all things fairly favorable, to take
the offensive even against a strong
force of Spanish troops defending Ha-
Vana.

ment to increase the state artillery
force by 400 men. They also adopted a

Orange Free State for it's sisterly as
sistance, and also Sir Hercules Robin

Jacobus de Wet, British agent at Pre-
toria, for the powerful support they had
given the Transvaal government and
for their efforts to prevent bloodshed. a
message was read to the volksraad from
President Kruger, to the effect that he
intends to discuss, in later and calmer
moments, the causes which led to the
daStardly plot against the state and
government. He was firmly resolved,
the message said, to maintain the sac
red rights and interests Of the republic
and to establish the same on a firmer
and securer foundation.
The brief sitting of the volksraad then
adjourned till May, owing to the excited
feeling among the burghers, calm and
dispassionate legislation in connection
with the recent events being considered
impossible. DR.. Jameson and the Of

WORSE EVERY DAY.

1t does not seem possible to deny
that the insurrection is increasing in
Importance every day. Practically the
whole interior of the island, from east
to west, with the exception of the large
towns, is in possession Of the insurg-
ents, who have burned everything COM
bustible and have levied tribute right
and left, under the very noses of the
Spanish commanders, and cutting down
the revenue of the Spanish government
from Cuban sources about 80 per cent,
according to the insurgent estimates.
Under these conditions it is not aston
lshing that some change in the COM
membership of the Spanish forces is ex-
rected daily. Even the most intimate
friends of Gen. Campos do not claim
that he has been half successful in his
operations.

authority that Gen. Antonio Maceo had

CAPTURED A LEADER.

On Sunday the Spaniards made an
important capture, in the person of Jose
Cepero, second in command Of the Gu
ban column, under Rego. He was on
his way from Cienfuegos to Batabano
with important communications from
the Santa Clara insurgents to Gomez
and Maceo.
A report was received tonight that
the railroad station and the railroad
bridge at Govea have been burned by
the insurgents. Govea is on the rail-

of Rincon and near Bejucal. This is
the immediate neighborhood in which
an engagement was supposed to be TAX
ing place this afternoon between Gen.
Linears and the insurgents, cannonad-
ing having been heard in that direction.
There is nothing in the official report
given out to associate the destruction
OF the railroad property with the bat
