JAMESON AND HIS MEN.


London.-Missing dispatches, delayed
in transmission from Johannesburg ant
Cape Town, are gradually reaching this
city.

$50 of DR.. Jameson's followers were killed
and about fifty were wounded. The pris

severe penalty. The Boer loss was only

son and Sir John Willoughby after the
surrender on Thursday last. DR.. jane

the lack Of expected support. Our allies
failed u.s."
A dispatch received from Krugerdorf
last night reports that the survivors OF
DR.. Jameson's force are in terrible con.
dition, having had ne sleep or food since
December 20.
RATHER wAR.LIKE.
A dispatch to the Times from Cape
Town says:
The defense committee of Johannes
burg is serving out arms.
A provisional government has been de-
clared with force of 10000 men. Thou
sands of Beers are outside of the town.

Colony have been received by the defense
committee and men are enrolling rapidly.
The Transvaal flag has been hoisted over
the committee rooms, to indicate that il
does not intend to destroy the republic.
The people are arming and little anx-
iety is felt for DR.. Jameson.
dispatch from Cape Town January 6
to the Times says: President Kruger has
stopped the food supplies into Johannes
burg. The whole of the national reform
committee has been arrested. Nobody Is
allowed to enter the Transvaal without a
passport issued by Krceger.
JAMESON May be SHOT.
London.-It is reported here to-day
that DR.. Jameson has been sentenced BY
the judges of Pretoria to be shot.
A dispatch from Kruegerdorp, Trans
vaal, dated Jan. 8, says Jameson narrowly
escaped being shot In the market place
by the incensed Beers ana was saved by
the commandant, who threatened to
shoot the first man who raised rife.
ANGERED AGAINST GERMANY
The feeling here against Germany on
account of the emperor's dispatch of con-
gratulation to President Kruger, appar-
emily ignoring British suzerainty over the
Transvaal republic, continues among all
classes of people, and the war sentiment
against Germany rises as time passes.
Lady Warwick has written letter to the
Times on the subject. II is understood
that the arsenals and dockyards are being
overhauled.
Emperor William is member of sew
eral exclusive English clubs, including
the Royal Yacht squadron, and in some
of them the demand for his expulsion Is
already very loud. Letters have been
published in the newspapers demanding
that he resign his colonelcy in the Royal
dragons.
There is no truth in the story that the
British government ia hurriedly drafting
troops from India. In the first place
there is no necessity for it, as all the
troops that might be needed could be
drafted to Cape Town from neighboring
British colonies, instead of from 80 dis
tant a country as India.
WAR SPIRIT RIFE IN ENGLAND.
Without desiring to be in any way sen.
sational, it can safely be said that the
war spirit is lowering over the British
empire, and that the people of all classes
are eagerly supporting the attitude of the
government ia resenting the attitude OF
Germany toward Great Britain.
The press is unanimous in its approval
of the preparations of the naval and
military authorities, and the newspapers
OF all shades of opinion agree as TO the
manner in which Germany . attitude must
be met.
DEMANDS OF TRANsvAAL.
London.--A dispatch received from
Cape Town this evening, dated Jan. Z,
says that it is reported at Pretoria
that the Transvaal government demands
the bsntshment Of Cecil Rhodes, ex-
premier Of Cape Colony, and also DR..
Jameson, from Africa, and that an enor-
nous fne 10 also demanded from the
British Chartered company. II is sup.
posed here that this may refer to the g.
6OO,0 600 indemnity, which, according to q
dispatch from Berlin, tho Transvaal gov
will demand of Great Rritain.
