Berlin, Jan. 4.-The invasion of
Transvaal by DR.. jameson and forces
of the British South Africa Company
has brought up all the latent feeling
of hostility to England and has pro-
voked an outburst similar to that pro-
duced by President Cleveland's message
In America. The general belief that the
duplicity of British statesmen is de-
nberate and in pursuance of their policy
of keeping Europe divided into two
camps in order to facilitate English ag-
gressions and entertainments In Africa
and elsewhere, has received supposed
confirmation in the news of Jamesons
venture In spite of the disavowal of
the British secretary of state for the
colonies of any knowledge or response
bility for the step taken by jameson,
little doubt is felt here that 1t was
prompted in high quarters, and the free
terms of the emperors message are in
terpreted as indicating the same mis-
trust of English protestations that is
felt in government circles. Everybody
understands the emperor's message to
President Kruger was not due to mere
impulse. but was decided upon and
drafted after grave council of minis
| tiers and 1t must therefore be regarded
| as an open announcement of change
of the German policy toward Great
| Britain.
Immediate news of the invasion of
| Transvaal was received on Tuesday
evening and the emperor summoned the
minister for foreign affairs, Baron
Mareschal Won Bieberstein, and DR..
Jaiser. director of the colonial office
to. ted
strong terms of the breach of interna
tional law. Later an official note was
sent to the British government, asking
CURLY the meaning of Jameson's raid
and what steps would be taken to
neutralize 1t. Moreover, 1t Is asserted
on good authority that the intention to
land German sailors at Delagoa bay
was only abandoned on receipt of news
of Jameson's defeat. The consent OF
Portugal has been asked for transit OF
troops across Portuguese territory.
Another statement made on good au
thority is that Germany has come tc
an agreement with France to arres
British advances in South Africa ant
that 1900 German volunteers, wei
equipped, will start on board of tn,
North German Lloyd steamer durinl
the coming week for Delagoa bay to as

ANTI-ENGLISH FEELING.
At the New Years reception at TIN
palace, Emperor William was frigid II
his treatment of the British ambassa
DOR Sir Francis c. Lascelles. 1t wa
, remarked that his majesty barely ad
dressed few words to him and eye,
him stonily On the other hand the EN-
peror's reception of the United State
ambassador, Mr.. Runyon, was most cor
| dial. Besides the usual congratula
tons, his majesty took pains to mani
fest undisturbed relations of intimac
between Germany and the Unite
States, talking with Runyon most pleas
antly and amicably for some time.
The anti-English feeling has been fe
: all along by the Bismarck press, whic
has reproached the government 70
trucking to English insolence," bu
the emperor and the government hav
withstood these taunts. Now however
a vigorous anti-English policy may vi
doubtedly be anticipated.
: incidentally, this has helped the Gel
7 mans to view the British American dit
| fculty with different eyes. The anxiet
here to take part in the American loa
shows this. The bankers of Berlin, C,
logne and Frankfurt fell over each otht
in their haste to have a share in it an
q the United States embassy was owe
whelmed throughout the week with II
. quiries as to the precise terms of II
loan, proving conclusively that Amer
can credit is unimpaired in the none
market here.
