Report That the cubans Are at
the Gates of Havana.

NEW YORK. Jan. S.-A special to
the Herald from Tampa, Fla, says:
A private telegram received from Ha-
vana says that the whole force of the
insurgents is in sight of the capital.
The message says that apprehen-
sions exist of an attack on the city.
and that every effort is being made
to protect the suburban approaches,
especially the waterworks and electric
light station. Sympathy with the in
surgents. it is reported. is known to
exist in Havana outside of official cir
cles. and there is said to be fears of
an uprising in conjunction with the
insurgent advance.
The Cubans believe that the end of
the revolution is rapidly approaching,
and say Campos is defeated without
an attack on Havana,
Consul General Soils discredits all
news from Havana and says he is sat
tsf1ed that the report of the insurgents
being at the gates of the city is a
canard. He scouts the idea Of an at
tack on the capital in the face of Cam
pos force of 100000 men. including the
volunteer force under arms.

NEW YORK. Jan. S.-The Stats
Zeitung tomorrow will say editorially
in regard to the Transvaal situation:
AS the Venezuelan question has re-
solved itself into a conflict between
England and the United States, the
TransvaaI affair has developed to seri-
GUS differences between England and
Germany. The terms and portent of
that much discussed convention of
February 81 1884 between England
and the Transvaal. of which these diff
ferences have taken issue. shall be di-
lated upon at some other time; today
we only wish to take due notice of the
childish outbreaks of fury over the war
threats INDUCED in by the London
mob and the London press, and throw
some light upon the question whether
or not ENGLAND can afford to marer-
ialize these threats.
Mr. CleVelsnd's message upon Vene-
zuela- was answered by the British
press. but their torrent of abuse only
lasted a day or SO. Very soon the
precious sober second thought
gained laudable ascendency in the
British mind. They suddenly found out
that the Venezuela trif1e was not
worth half the excitement it had
stirred I'D and it would amount to
criminal culpability to make war en-
account Of such a trifie. a similar
change of mind will undoubtedly take
place as regards the dispute with Ger
many"
The editorial goes on explaining in
detail the reasons of the set back
given 70 British influence in the course
of the last decade and the progress
made bv the marines of other eoun-
tries, including the United States.
But while the peopIS at large" it
concludes Continued enjoying the
prestige of older times. the men at the
helm became gradually aware of the
enormous changes wrought by time
with respect to the position and in
fiuence of the powers and of England's
retrogressiOn. This knowledge of the
true state of affairs accounts largely
for the varying shapes Of British pol
icy: tardy and vacillating in some in
stances. but in every case relying upon
the kind assistance" of other powers
This last mentioned speculation, how
ever. has very frequently proved
failure. The powers have looked
through Englands little game and
they have grown tired of fetching
England's chestnuts from the CRATE
and more especially to Englands I'M
ceasing colonial transgressions and
African raids no sensible power is ant
to lend assistance"
