PORTRAITS AS DIRECTIONS.

The portraits of Marti, Gomez. Maceo and

issued, and serve to tel the destination Of
the mail matter. The stamp bearing the
portrait of Marti, the news OF whose I'M
timely death caused such genuine sorrow
among Cubans and their sympathizers
when placed upon letter, Indicate that
the missive is intended TO be sent to some
one connected with the Cuban republic at
Cubita.
In order to send a letter to a friend in the
Cuban army, the following mode of pro-
ceeGure must be used: An envelope, bear
ing the address OF the Cuban hcadqua rters
at No. 10 South Ninth street, Philadel-
phia, and supplied with United States
stamp, should be used to inclcse the letter
addressed to the person in Cuba, with the
name OF the army and regiment he is in.
A United States stamp is also put on this
enclosed letter, and when the missiye comes
to headquarters the outer envelope is re-
moved and Il stamp put on the inner letter,
which bears the imprint of the features OF
the leader in whose command is the party
TO whom the letter is addressed. Then

4 WIN 10 Put on
Washington, Jan. 1.-The opinion
now prevails that the bond issu, may
| be postponed for number of days yet.
| The cessation of large Withdrawals OF
/ gold for export and the fact that one
4 or more orders have been placed for
! gold shipments from abroad are impor-
| tant factors in the question of an early
| issue.
On the other hand the almost daily
announcement from the subtreasury at
New York that considerable quantities
are being withdrawn In redemption Of
1 legal tenders would seem to justify
/ dent. These redemptions, 1t is said,
1 are undoubtedly asked for the purpose
OF accommodating supply of gold With
| which to purchase bonds when they
| shall have been placed on the market
by the syndicate; and, as they now ag-
gregate considerably more than ST, 000.-
| 600 since the forthcoming issue became
! a settled fact, their early discontinue
| ance has become matter Of tho first
| Importance This can be accomplished,
| however, only through the operations
Of the syndicate, and it is argued, there
FORE that the interests of the govern
ment lie in prompt announcement OF
the issue. What will be the result Of
these conflicting interests is not now
apparent.
The report from New York to the eff
feet that the members of the new syn
dictate have entered into an agreement
by which the government is to be at
once furnished with S100,000,000 in gold
and later on, at its option, with $780,
100000 in addition. cannot be verified
at this time 1t is the general opinion,
however, that this arrangement for an
additional contingent amount was
made with the approval of the presi
dent, who is anxious that this issue
shall be the last during his term of
office. 1t is believed further that the
condition as to the procurement of
part Of the gold from abroad and that
no part Of it shall be withdrawn from
the treasury are made parts Of the new
contract.
The forthcoming monthly treasury
statement will show an excess Of re-
ceipts over expenditures for the month
of December CT about $4,000. which is
a gain over November of about $780,
900. The heavy payments on account
of interest, pension, and Pacific bond
redemption during January are expect
ed to result in a large deficit for that
month. The deficit for the present ifs
cal year ending June 80, 1896, is expect
ed to be approximately $17000,00o.
These figures, however, are based on the
assumption that the receipts from Gus
toms will materially Increase during
the next three months, as is usually the
case. The receipts from internal rev.
enue sources, it is thought, have now
about reached the normal, and hence
no material change for the better is
expected except through the customs,

BRITAIN is INVOLVED.
WAR SEEMS INEVITABLE IN THE
TRANSVAAL.
Armed Force of tho British South
African Company Invadcs tho Terri
tory OF tho Boers--Chamberlain Orders
Thorn to Return.

Berlin, Jan. An alarming telegram
has been received here from Pretoria,
Transvaal, which states that an armed
force of the British South Africa COM
pany, numbering 500 men, with six
Maxim guns and other artillery pieces,
is reported to have invaded the Trans
vaal territory.
A telegram from Pretoria further
states that the British force has already
reached the vicinity Of Rustenburg and
is advancing upon Johannesburg. On
learning of the news President Kruger
of Transvaal ordered that a further adj
vance of the invaders should be pre-
vented by force of arms, and he issued
a proclamation upon all burghers to de-
fend the country. An armed conflict
as result of the appeal is inevitable.
London, Jan. IA dispatch to the
Times from Cape Town says, conse-
quent upon a letter signed by the lead
ing inhabitants of Johannesburg, which
was sent to DR.. Jameson, at Mafeking,
on Saturday, DR.. Jameson on Sunday
crossed the Transyaal frontier. near
Mafeking, with 700 men. 1t is known
that he passed Melmani at 5 o'clock on
Monday morning. No further direct
news has been received from Trans
vaal.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of
state for the colonies, returned to Lon
don unexpectedly and remained at the
colonial office the whole day Tuesday,
from 10 o'clock in the morning until Z
o'clock in the evening.
The Times in an editorial thinks that
the letter hardly justified DR.. Jameson's
startling move. 1t is known in official
circles that in the course of the day
Mr. Chamberlain wired to Dr. Jane
son ordering him to return without de-
lay to the companys territory.
The Times understands that DR.. jam
eson's force is we'll provisioned for four
days march It will probably take him
four days to reach johannesburg and
the opposing forces. 1t is estimated
that the Beer force, well armed, con-
sists of from 800 to 1000 men with
Maxim guns and about 5000 burghers
armed with their own rifles.
