have been ordered 70 stop by force the ad-
vance of second body of British Char
tered company's troops in the Transvaal.
The latest story circulated this after
noon was that second body of men be-
longing to the British Chartered company,
numbering about 400, which started out to
reinforce Jamison's troops, had been cut
to pieces by Beers. This is the force sup.
posed to have been advancing from Buu-
wayo. 1t was also rumored, and SEEM
ingly confirmed by dispatch received
here, that there had been an uprising in
Johannesburg and many persons were
killed during the dis urbance.
GERMAN CONCENTRATION
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 3.-Fif,y of the lead
ing citizens of his city have telegraphed
President Krueger congratulating him
upon the victory of their kinsmen.
The Handlesblat argues that Great
Bri ain is responsible for DR.. Jamison's
action, and say it is a worse case than that
of the Alabama.
BERLIN, Jan. 3.-Emperor William has
telegraphed President krueger as follows:
II express my sincere conPratulation that
your people, without appealing to the help
of friendly powers, have succeeded by your
own energetic action against armed bands
which invaded your country as disturbers
of peace and thus been enabled to restore
peace and safeguard in defense of the
country against attacks from outside"
AN EXPLANATION
CHICAGO, Jan. 81. b. Weinberg of Jo-
hannesburg, who is at present sojourning
in this city, says: "The invasion of the
Transvaal was in no sense an effort on the
part of England to annex the celebrated
South African gold fields. The people of
Johannesburg wonld fight to a man against
coming under British rule.
"When the Transvaal was unknown for
its riches in gold and diamonds, the laws
concerning the naturalization of newcom-
ers were the same as in the Orange Free
State, and very similar to the naturalization
laws in the United States. But when the
country began to fill up with miners and
people interested in the gold and diamond
industries. the Beers changed the laws and
made it impossible for anyone to become
naturalized. Then high tariff was placed
on everything that the Beers were not like
ly to use. Particular enmity was shown to
the mining industry, and in this way the
republic succeeded in levying fully 80 per
cent of the taxes on the new population,
which was denied citizenship.
After trying all these five years to Sc
cure some concessions from the Beers, the
National union has doubtless concluded
they will never make any headway until
the old government is overturned. That,
1t seems to me, is what Dr. Jamison's in
vaslOn MEANS"
ON THE EXCHANGE
LONDON, Jan. 3.-The stock exchange
closed greatly depressed, and a substan-
tial fall in prices was caused by the adj
verse rumoIs from the Transvaal. Katiirs
we're fiat and there was general decline
of "a to l, with not much offering. Con-
soils wer9 9s lower than yesterday.
The Globe this evening says it is believed
DR.. Jamson's officers included Captain
Charles b. Coventry. second son of the
count Deerhurst, married Miss Virginia
Bonynge of New York, and has two
brothers, Henry T. and Reginald. Cap
tain Coventry is an officer of the Bechuan-
aland police.
DR.. jamison's officers are said to also in
clude Lord Annually, captain in the Scots
guard, and Lieutenant Douglas Henry
Marsham, a son of the earl of Romney,
who has been serving with the Bechuana-
land border police.
PARIS OPINION.
PARIS, Jan. 3.-Not one of the newspa-
pers of this city minces words in com.
menting upon the invasion of the Trsns-
vaal territory by the tilibustering expedi-
ton under DR.. Jamson. In spite of the
statements made by the British colonial
secretary, MIR. Joseph Chamberlain, and
tI0 dSSeTtlOllS VI tu0 ROVtIuOF Ol Sdp6
Colony, the premier of Cape Colony and
the managing director of the British south
Africa company, the Figaro insists that DR..
Jamison did not act without having re-
ceived orders to do SO from Cecil Rhodes,
the premier of Cape Colony, who, in turn,
according to the newspaper mentioned.
was in communication with England.
The Rappel remarks:
"Germany, France and Russia are in ac-
cord. What will England do? Will she
dare, with the United States already on
her hands. to defy Europe with her insa-
liable rapacty and untenable claims, and
end by arousing formidable coalition to
herself?"
The Lantarne expresses the opinion that
Great Britain's contention that the foreign
powers have no right to intervene in the
Transvaal is nothing more or less than an
application of Monroeism.
"Mr. Rhodes" adds the Lantarne,
''waits to capture Delagoa bay and thus
nullify the conquest of Madagascar.
La Justice says:"Dr. Jamison's attempt
at International filihustering has inflicted
one more defeat on the invading policy of
the United Kingdom"
ANXIETY In ENGLAND
LONDON, Jan. 4.-The colonial office re-
mained open until 2:3O this morning,
many officials attending there, but no fur
ther news from the Transvaal was re-
ceived.
Emperor Williams dispatch to Presi-
dent Krueger is denounced with the ut
most severity in the editorials in English
newspapers today.
The Times says 1t is grave and dis
tinctly unfriendly, and being compiled
after conference with Chancellor Won Ho-
henlohe and the foreign and naval secre-
taries, imparts to it the importance of
state act.
The article proceeds to argue that Ger
many has no ground to contend that any
doubt exists as to Epgland's right of suzer-
ainty over the Transvaal and asks: lis
our Berlin correspondent indeed right
when he confesses he is driven to the con-
viction that Germany has gladly seized
this opportunity to humiliate England?"
The Post says: 1t is evident that the
emperor considers war with England some-
thing to be prepared for. We cannot hide
