 London, Dec. 31.-In its issue of to- morrow the Times will say: The new year opens with mingled omens. At nome the auguries are in every way fa- vorable. The outlook for external poli- tlcs Is most serious, even alarming. The revival of the war spirit in the United States, or what stimulates it, and the prolong1ng of the uncertain position in the east are almost equally dsquieting. The long impending crisis in South Af- rica has become acute. We are bound, therefore, to be prepared for contin- gencies which may call for vigorous eXertion of power, that last resort that must be relied upon to hold the British empire together. Happily 1t is certain that the nation is fully capable of meet ing the probable demands on it's own re- sources.
 The Morning Post will tomorrow pub fish a dispatch from Vienna saying a telegram from Pretoria, capital of the transvaal, states an armed force of the British South Africa company numbering 800 men and armed with Maxim and other guns is reported to have entered the transvaal. This force is said to have reached the vicinity of Rustenburg and intends to march on Johannesburg. Pres idept Kruger has ordered that its ad- vance be forcibly prevented, and has is- sued a proclamation appealing to the burghers to defend their country. The dispatch adds the fighting seems inevita- ble

The pa pers will add that the Tt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, has ordered the immediate re- turn of this force to British territory.
