London. Jan. 11.-With View to ascer-
tanning from authentic data, the ratio of
British and German interests in the Trans
vaal the government caused the board
of trade officials to prepare a report on
the immigration into that republic during
the period covered by the returns in the
boards possession. The inquiry of the
board has resulted in the establishment OF
the remarkable fact that during the last
p years only 1900 foreigners, including
Of British, have gone into the Transvaal.
The returns include Americans, French
men. Hollanders Italians and Germans,
port will be submitted to parliament as
soon as it meets and will doubtless be
used as an important factor in dealing
with the German pretensions of a right
to interfere,in the African republic. While
the production of these statistics may as
sist and justify British diplomacy in re-
butting the German claims, it is the con-
vction in official circles that only the
ctr an, ha11fcraraV,f
can avail Great Britain in the face of
possible European coalition against her.
The crisis so far as the Transvaal is
concerned seems to be over. Lord Sails
bury has clinched the position at Della
goa bay by notifying the government at
Lisbon that the landing of any foreign
troops there will Immediately be followed
by the occupation of the place by the
British. By Wednesday five British cruis-
ers will be stationed at Delagoa bay. This
procedure rather savors of a bluff, as no
power threatens to land troops there, but
!! Is a part of the strong hand that the
b1uSh government is compelled to play.
Though the crisis in the Transvaal is
apparently over, events in Europe are
approaching phase that is big with the
Idle OF England. No explanations of

German official press, or of the interviews
OF The German ministers with the Boer
representatives have been vouchsafed to
Lord Salisbury. There is no reason to
assert that he has demanded such eX-
pianatlonS and that orders to prepare the
navy Tor war were issued after he had

Geiman ambassador here, that the Ger

Pianattons required.
The abatement of the hostile tone of
