White Book and Blue Book Are
Discussed.


Discussed.
BERLIN, Feb. 12.-The White Book
was issued today on the Transvaal de-
velopments. In it is published a dis
patch sent by Baron Marschal Won
Bieberstein, minister of foreign affairs,
TO London, dated February, 1895, with
reference to the remarks of Earl Kim
berly, then secretary of state of foreign
affairs, upon President Kruger
toast in honor of Emperor William,
upon the latters birthday. In this
message Baron Won Bieberstein de-
clares that German material interests
require the maintenance of TransVaal
as an independent state in the sense of
the treaty of 1884, and the upholding Of
the status quo regarding the railways
and harbor of DelagO bay. He added
that Jamesons idea that Rhodesia was
to become a commercial union or fed
GRAFTON of all the South African states
was antagonistic to German interests
The German ambassador at London
replied, saying that Marquis Salisbury
had stated to him that he concurred
with Germany in the wish that the
status quo in Transvaal had been
maintained.
In December, 1890, the Germans of
Pretoria telegraphed Emperor William
imploring him to intervene to avert
misery and blOOdshed.
The White Book concludes with
dispatch from Baron Won Bieberstein
TO Count Won -Windenburg,
protesting against the statement by the
English press that the emperOr's tele-
gram to President Kruger was an act
of hostility to Great Britain or en-
croachment on British rights.

The London white BOOB.

LONDON. Feb. 12.-The blue book
upon the Transvaal issued today shows
the promptness with which Secretary
of State for the Colonies Chamberlain
acted. He telegraphed to the governor
CT Cape Colony, Sir Hercules Robinson.
to neglect no measures to prevent
trouble.
The British agent at Pretoria. the
Blue Book demonstrates, te1egraphed
December 81, that in consequence of
DR. Jamesons invasion with the Brit
ish flag flying, President Kruger had
asked for the Intervention of Germany
and France.
On the same day Chamberlain ca
bled Governor Robinson to represent to
the premier of Cape Colony, Cecil
Rhodes, that DR.. Jameson had been
guilty of filibustering. and that IL it
was proved that the Chartered company
was privy to his intentions, the gov
eminent would be confronted with a
demand for a revocation of its char
ter, and that in any case the company
would have to pay an indemnity.
Chamberlain said that he could see
no need that Rhodes should resign the
premiership.
Chamberlain telegraphed Governor
Robinson there was a possibility that
Kruger might be induced to rely upon
the support of a foreign power in re-
sisting the granting of reforms or in
making demands on Great Britain.
Continuing, Chamberlain said:
L beg to inform you that Great Brit
ain will resist at all cost Interference
by any foreign power. The government
has no reason at present to anticipate
a conflict of interests with the foreign
powers, but Great Britain will not toll
crate any change in her relations with
TransvaaI. While she will IovaIIv re
spect its independence on the subject
of conventions, she will maintain her
position as the paramount power"

VICTORIA, 3. c., Feb. 12.-DreadfuI
stories have reached Yokohama of the
treatment of Japanese by Formosan
rebels, some correspondents going so
far as to say that the Chinese practice
cannibalism.
Early in January the rebels took pos
session of the village of Kelung. A de-
tachment of Japanese was sent to at
tack the place. and after considerable
opposition succeeded in driving the
rebels off and entering the village
which was afterwards fired.
The correspondent of the Japan Mail,
in speaking of the arrival of the Jap
anese troops in the village. says:
The troops were Mortified at the
CHASTITY spectacle of nineteen bodies Of
their countrymen beheaded and fright
fully mangled They were railroad
workmen who had met death at the
hands of the fiends.
Many of your readers may not be
aware of the cannibalism that exists
among the Chinese. although there is
today not a foreigner in Formosa but
knows of the eating of portions of
the bodies of savages, or is unaware Of
the markets IN tOrmOSdn settlements
containing human flesh Of savages for
sale During the outbreak of 1891. so
great was the loss of life that savage
flesh was brought in and sold the same
as pork in the markets.
THE mutiIated bodies of Japanese
were found, several of them disembow-
eled and with their hearts cut out; also
minus other parts. Some were found
who had been burned at the stake. the
embers still smoking. Charred bodies,
with hands and feet still fastened.

soldiers saw"

the Herald from St Petersburg says:
An article which appeared in the
Neue Free Presse. saying that Austria
has not interfered in the international
affairs Of the Balkan state. but only
on condition that no other country
should do so, has created an angry

good deal Of strong talk is heard on
the subject. the tenor of which is re-
fected in an article in Novoe Vremya,
which says:
"Russia's influence in Bulgaria is
based upon the treaty of Berlin. and
in any case the Austrian govern
ment's talk about equal influence
makes no difference here. Russia has
a right to have a. proponderating in

she made in behalf of Bulgaria. No

TlBURoN ISLAND.

Colonel John Bradbury Will Fit Out
an Expedition and Search For
the Gold Left on the Island BY
MOntezuma.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 12-Col.
John Bradbury, who is at present in
Mexico, has written to some friends
in this city outlining his plans for
exploring Tiburon island. situated in
the Gulf of California.
The advices state that he has pur-
chased the schooner Lille Light and
has armed her with a Maxim gun and
a five-inch rife. From his mine in
Mexico he has recruited 125 men who
are experienced fighters and accustom-
ed ia Indian warfare. The letter
further stated the real object of the
expedition. 1t seems that a we'll
authenticated legend has it that when
Mcntezuma, emperor OF Mexico, saw
that his dynasty was doomed he
determined to prevent the red-hand-
ed Cortez from securing the treasures
Of the Incas, so ne sent all of his gold
to Tiburon, and had it buried there
in mountain cave. When the men
who had charge of this task returned
he had them ali offered up as sacri-
fees, and the secret was lost until by
a curious series OF events it was dis
closed to Colonel Bradbury.

proceeds being placed in the treasury Of
the United States to be expended for
their benefit. If this course is not prac-
ticable in any case, and it be thought
best for the government to purchase any
