/ the knowledge of the British South Africa
company and the colonial authorities, that
this feature of the situation as produced
a decided sensation which has eliminated
in an outburst of Indignation against the
Emperor William for sending his dispatch
OF congratuIation to President Krueger.
| The expressions of wrath are not con-
| fined to the newspapers, buf are he COM
mon talk of London and o her cities. 1t is
known the government officials generally,
and, it is reported, that even royalty de-
! nounces in unmeasured terms he German
emperor's deliberately unfriendy act"
| and there are suggestions flying about re-
garding recalling the Bri ish ambassador
| to Germany and making threatening
changes in the disposition of the different
| squadrons of the Bri ish fleet.
| Emperor William, il appears, first sent
| peremptory instruc ions to the German
| ambassador here to obtain an immediate
explanation of the meaning of DR.. Jamie
! sons expedition, which, by the way, the
British government had already repudiated.
| This having been explained 10 the German
! ambassadors, the marquis of Salisbury con-
, cluded thai tbe matter hau been settled,
and he was disagreeaby surprised when
the news was received at the foreign office
that the emperor had sent dispatch of
congratulation to President Kruger.
| But the most serious part of the whole
matter is that the diplomats attribute to

challenge the queens suzerainty in the
Transvaal.
TREATY PROVISIONS
The text of the treaty of London pro-
vides that the Tralsvaa! republics foreign
/ relations are to be entirely under the sup
ervision of Great Britain and for the sov-
ereign of any other country to address
| himself publicly to President Krueger, is,
to put il mildly, a serious disre gard of
diplomatic form. Therefore, as Emperor
William is known to be a great stickler for
all forms of diplomacy, nobody doubts
that his step was deliberately taken after
consultation with the imperial chancellor,
Prince Hohenlohe. This having been ad-
mitted there are people who are beginning
to intimate that triple alliance between
Russia. France and Germany may, after
j.. all be an accepted fact; for it would hardly
seem likely that Germany would care to
risk an active dispute with Great Britain
and possible blockade of her coast when
she could make but little retaliation unless
she was assured of active support from
other powers
The very bitter comments of the British
press on the action of the German emperor
are in marked contrast with the moderate
tone with which the newspapers here dis
cussed lhe Venezuelan crisis. In fact, the
latter dispute seems almost to have been
lost sight of, especially since such
flood OF discretion has been thrown
upon the the British side of the con-
tention by the Washington correspondent
of the Chronicle of this city in the publica-
ton of correspondence hitherto not care
fully weighed on this side of he Atlantic.

At first it was thought to be nothing

ENGLAND WILL DEFEND HER OWN
The Standard, which may be regarded
as directly representing the views of the
British government, speaks very plainly OIL
the subject and warns foreign nations in
general and Germany particularly, that
Great Britain will tolerate no Interference
and that in spite of threats of German
officials and press 10 make things unpleas-
ant for Great Britain at Washington, Con-
stantinople. and Pekin, tive shall defend
our own with all the means at our disposal,
let our assailants be who they will, or as
many as they will" :"
This utterance on the part of the Stand-
ard Is sample of the remarks on the sub
ject made by the British press and COM
ing from the source it does, there are clear
indications that Great Britain and Ger
many have reached stale of extremely
strained relations, and one which may
have further and more serious results un-
less the jingoes of both nations are curbed.
THEIR FEELINGS ARE HURT
The defeat of Or. Jameson's freebooters
by the Hoers has produced a feeling OF
great humiliation here and the greatest
anxiety is felt regarding the fate of his
companions, as there are among them the
younger sons of some of the best known
families in Great Britain. This feeling OF
| humiliation adds to the degree of anger
felt against Germany and increases con-
siderahly the danger existing in the situa-
ton. Then again, the fact that SO many
| distinguished young men were among the
British Chartered company's troops is an
| other element which may cause further
trouble, as their families are certain to
| bring all the pressure they can possibly to
bear upon the government in their efforts
| to wipe out the humiliation afflicted upon
all concerned, by the Beers.
Among the persons who are behind the
| scenes, the general view taken of the case
| is that DR.. Jameson's defeat was brought
because, at the last moment, he was lef

Another dispatch from Sir Hercules Rob.
inson to Mr.. Chamberlain reads:
"Dewitt writes that Jameson's wounded
number over thirty. They are all at Krug-
ersdorf and attended by doctors. Their
names and details OF their wounds cannot
yet be given. The number killed is esti-
mated at seventy, but no reliable informa-
ton is obtainable. The bodies are still be-
Ing picked up on the battlefield and
buried."
Later dispatches were received at the
colonial Office from Cape Town, dated at
noon today, giving the following details of
the invasion of Transvaal by DR.. Jameson,
asgathered from the local press: There is
no doubt DR.. Jameson yielded after he lost
1T least twenty-eight men. The battle
lasted from 3 in the afternoon until Il
at night. Jameson lead the three principal
attacks and his men distinguished them
selves by great gallantry.
A private and reliable telegram received
here this afternoon from Pretoria says
President Kruger has declared he is will
ling to make satisfactory concessions to
the Uitlanders, or foreign population of
Transvaal, whose demonstration for repre-
sentation. in view of the fact that they con-
tribute practically the whole revenue of
the republic, led to the ill feeling which re-
suited in Or. Jameson's raid.

Broke Westchester Jail.

White Plains, April Ell P. Car
penter, a negro, made a bold escape
from the Westchester county Jail in this
village this morning.
Carpenter had been confined in the
Jail tor some time past awaiting trial
on an indictment charging him with
burglary: The prisoners are allowed to
so out of their cells every morning at
o'clock to breakfast Carpenter as
well as the rest. had his cell door
opened this morning at the usual time
by Jailer William Johnson, a brother of
Sheriff Johnson. Nothing remained be-
tween the prisoners and liberty but the
jail corridor and the fence in the rear
of the Jail.
When Jailer johnson had his back
turned after opening the door of Car
penter's cell, Carpenter. as the door was
swinging back, made a rush at him
Carpenter is a powerful man and the
attack was SO sudden that the taller
was knocked down. When he got up
he discovered that Carpenter had es-
capped. On going out into the corridor
he was just in time to see Carpenter
scale the fence and disappear.
An alarm was given by the TALLER and
the whole prison was aroused. Several
deputies were sent through the villa ge
looking for Carpenter. but up to noon
no trace OF him had been found.
