Effort to Help.
EXPECTED AID DID NOT COME
Invaders Fought Until Exhausted and
Ammunition Had All Been
Spent

LONDON, ENG, Jan. IA dispatch to
the Central News, dated Johannesburg,
January 3, gives brief;report of an inter-
view with DR.. Jameson, who was sent as q
prisoner to Pretoria:
II only crossed the frontier" said the
doctor, because of the urgent appeals
made by the inhabitants of Johannesburg,
and because L fully believed that large
numbers of my countrymen and country
women were in dire peril of their lives. I
could have beaten the Beers if the people
of Johannesburg had made any effort to
help themselves, which 1 was led to expect
they would do. Help did not reach us at
Krugersdorp. and we could not break
through the Boer lines.
I'VE fought until we were dropping to
the ground exhausted and our ammunition
had been spent. If the men of Johannes
burg had destroyed the railroad to Krugers-
dorp, which they could easily have done,
it would have prevented the supplies of
ordnance being taken to the entrenched
Beers, which enabled them to hold out
against our attacks"

Ii the American Government acts only in
the belief that because Great Britain is
threatened with European crisis there
fore she will knuckle down to any Ameri-
can demand ii may suddenly discover that
the European crisis has blown over and
that war with England is on its hands
II once more repeat my solemn convic-
ton that the overwhelming majority of
the American people will support their
Government in war on behalf of the prin-
ciple of arbitration where American inter-
ests are believed to be involved. At the
same time 1 positively reassert that the
President and Cabinet earnestly desire an
amicable settlement, and individual mem
bers of the administration confess that
they utterly fail to comprehend the reason
for England's attitude of mere blunt re-
fusal. In all the Government depart
ments here the situation is regarded as
very serious despite every effort made on
behalf of peace.
Now, the kernel of the dispute being
the principle of arbitration, the solution
may be found therein aiso II Lord Sails
bury viii say that, although he must
maintain his refusal to arbitrate on Vene-
lucia by itself, lie is prepared to conclude
treaty with the United States under
which all questions failing OF diplomatic
settlement shall be submitted to arbitra-
tion and that this of course would include
Venezuela, as the greater includes the
less, the American Government l know
will receive this communication with
warm sympathy. Herein is a digniied
and indeed the most simple and friendly
escape from the deadlock.
Remember that a resolution to this
effect was adopted by Congress on April T.
| 1890, and responded to by resolution of
the House of Commons, supported in its
decision by Mr.. Gladstone on June 16
1898. second joint resolution of Con-
gress was introduced in the Senate by
Senator Allison on June 90 1894, and re-
ferred to the committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, where it still remains.
1.-TWO things block the way. The first is
that if any arbitration treaty was ever
under discussion it was laid aside when
Congress, by refusing to pay that S425, ,O0O

President Cleveland's message came to
the English people like thunderbolt out

of unutterable astonishment that anv
trouble could occur between England and
the United States. This feeling peryaded
all classes. The feeling of the English
people for their American cousins is wear
by year becoming more sympathetic, and
among educated people in England the
thought of war with the United States
seems impossible.

UtHdn ders Ready to Comply With the
Demands Made.
LONDON, ENG, Jan. Sir Hercules
| Robinson, Governor of Cape Colony, cables
from Pretoria, capital of the Transvaal,
under date OF to-day, that he has received
a message from the reform committee at
Johannesburg stating that the Uitanders
have resolved to comply with the demand
OF the Transvaal Government that they
relinquish their arms The people, the
committee added, are placing themselves
unreservedly in his hands, being confident
that he will see that Justice is done them.
Sir Hercules then quotes message sent
by Sir Jacobus Dewet, the British political
agent at Pretoria. to President Kruger,
containing the reform committees formal
resolution declaring that the committee
had instructed its followers to lay down
their arms, relying on the Transvaal Gov
ernment to maintain order and protect
life. The resolution requests that the
armed burghers in the vicinity of Johan-
nesburg be removed
Sir Jacohus Dewet added to his message
would abandon their arms without fur
ther difficulty, and urged that the republic
operate with the committee for day or
two in restoring the normal condition of
affairs in Johannesburg.
Sir Hercules concludes his dispatch by
saying he hopes now to be able to confer
with President Kruger and the executive
council relative to the prisoners and the
redressing of the grievances of the foreign
residents of johannesburg.

Il Letter Rebu6iHg Emperor William
for HIS attitude.
LONDON, Eng, Jan. THE Westmins-
ter Gazette says the Queen has written a
letter to the Emperor of Germany, rebuk-
ing him for his attitude in regard to the
Transvaal, especially in the matter of the
congratulatory message which his Majesty
sent TO President Kruger.
Sir Hercules Robinson, Governor of
Cape Colony, has wired Mr.. Chamberlain,
Colonial Secretary, from Pretoria, under
Yesterday date, that an order has been
issued directing the officers of the British
South Africa Company in charge of the
ordnance and ammunition at Buluwayo
and Fort Salisbury to hand the same over
TO an imperial officer. Orders were also
sent on January , to BuluwaYo calling
upon all citizens to maintain law and
order. This order was faithfully obeyed.
The excitement will be allayed, Governor
Robinson says, when it is known that Ur.
Jameson and his comrades have been re-
leased.
The st. James Gazette says: eve would
rather face rupture with Germany than
to renounce the stipulation of the conven-
tion OF 1884, that any international ar
rangement made by the South African
republic requires the consent and ratifca-
ton Of Great Britain
Political circles in London maintain that
if IL be true that the Emperor of Germany
has promised to recognize the independ-
ence OF the Transvaal republic by ap-
pointing i German resident instead of a
Consul at Pretoria it may mean war be-
tween Great Britain and Germany.
Tae Johannesburg Standard has cabled
London, under the date of January 3, that
a revulsion of feeling has set in at Johan-
nesburg, and that the reform leaders are
loudly denounced for their desertion OF
DR.. Jameson.
at was a mob revolution, " the Standard
said, 'in which the main population did

viii tomorrow say that the Government
has decided to send to Cape Town as soon
as possible strong re-enforcements of cav
airy and infantry. 1t adds that a second
regiment which is under orders to return
home from India will stop at Cape Town.
while other regiments selected from the
First Army Corps in England will shortly
leave for that place.
The Telegraph further says that a first
class British cruiser has been ordered to
proceed to Delagoa Bay.
dispatch received to-day from Johan-

transpired that upon the arrival of the
news of DR.. Jameson's advance, Mr. Eloff,
President Kruger's grandson, rode unat-

Company's force with a view to persuad-
ing them to return. He met them at
Zwaartlaagte, and vainly urged them to
retire. He was placed under arrest until
the following day. when he was liberated
! and his horse returned to him. DR.. Jane
son retained his arms, telling him to call
for them at the Government offices in Pre-
toria.
The Daily News will tomorrow publish
dispatch from Vienna saying that the
German Government, fearing that
Emperor Williams 5 message to President
Kruger would offend Emperor Francis
Joseph, has explained to Count Gelu-
chowsky, Minister of Foreign Affairs, that
Emperor William did not intend to offend
England. His message was merely meant
to encourage the free states of South
Africa to maintain their independence. A
similar message has been sent to Rome,
where, 1t is stated, the opposition intended
to use the incident against a renewal of
the triple alliance
