Jaruco Is the first town of Importance
outside of Havana In the direction OF
Mntanzas. Apparently the three insur-
gent columns have been divided up into
smaller bodies in order to facilitate rapid
ity Of movement But there Is only
supposition based on the fact that the
ingnreents are heard from In about
half dozen different towns and directions
in this vicinity to-day. One Of The irsur-
gent columns has crossed the railroad at
Patahano, the extreme southerly station
near the Cuff of Batahano, and almost
due south of Havana. This column Is now

Batnhano and apparently moving In the
same direction as the column of insur-
gents previously reported as heading for
Guira Afclena, which lead people TO sup

Havana appear to be circling northward

The above facts, so frequently denied
In official circles during the past two
weeks, are now generally admitted, even
in official circles, although all sorts OF
lame expla of the triumphant ad-

the hope or calming public excitement.
But no amount of explanation will altcr
the fact that the insurgent cavalry scouts

here this morning. AS these advance bod

the lines defending Havana is correct.

by the Associated Pross.)-The invasion
of the Transvaal by DR.. jameson and the
forces of the British South Area com
pany has brought up all the Intent feel
ing of hostility to England and has
evoked an outburst similar to that pro-
duced by President CleveIand's message
In America. The general belief that the
duplicity of British statesmen is deliber-
ate and in pursuance OF their policy OF
keeping England divided into two camps
in order TO facilitate English aggressions
and encroachments IN Africa and else

ton In the news of Dr. Jameson's venture.
In spite of the disavowa OF the British
secretary OF state for the colonies, Mr..
Chamberlain. Of any knowledge OF the
step taken 10y DR.. Jameson, little doubt Is
felt here that IL was prompted In hlSh
quarters and the weghty terms OF TIE
emperor's message as interpreted, indicat-
ing the same mistrust of the English
protostations which Is felt In government
circles. Everybody understood that the
emperor's message to President Kruger
was not due to mere impulse but was
decided upon and drafted after grave
council OF ministers and 1t must therefore
be regarded as an open procurement az
a change In German policy toward Great
Britain
The Immediate news of the invasion
of the Transvaal was received or Tues
day evening and the emperor summoned
the minister OF foreign affairs. Baron
Marschall Won Biebersiein, and DR.. Kaiser
director of the colonial office, to Potsdam,
and spoke to them in strong terms OF the
breach. of International law. Later an
official note was sent to the British gov
eminent asking CURLY the meaning OF
Dr. Jameson's raid and what steps would
be taken 10 neutralze IT. Moreover. 1t Is
