Berlin, Jan. 5-The invasion OF
Transvaal by DR.. Jameson and forces
of the British South Africa Company
has brought up all the latent feeling
of hostility to England and has pro-
yoked an outburst similar to that pro
duced by President Cleveland's message
in America. The general belief that the
duplicity of British statesmen is de.
liberate and in pursuance of their policy
of keeping Europe divided into two
camps in order to facilitate English ag'
gressions and entertainments in Africa
and elsewhere, has received supposed
confirmation in the news Of Jameson
venture. In spite of the dfsaVOWal OF
the British secretary of state for the
colonies of any knowledge or RESPONSE
bility for the step taken by jameson
little doubt is felt here that it was
prompted in high quarters, and the free
terms of the emperOr's message are In
terpreted as indicating the same mis-
trust of English prOtestatiOns that Is
felt in government circles. Everybody
understands the emperOr'S message tC
President Kruger was not due to mere
impulse, but was decided upon and
drafted after a grave council of minis
tiers and it must therefore be regarded
as an open announcement of change
of the German policy toward Great
Britain.
Immediate news of the invasion Of
Transvaal was received on Tuesday
evening and the emperor summoned the
minister for foreign affairs, Baron
Mareschal Won Bieberstein, and DR.
Jaiser, director of the colonial office
to Potsdam, and spoke to them in
strong terms of the breach Ct interna-
tional law. Later an official note was
sent to the British government asking
CURLY the meaning of Jameson's raid
and what steps would be taken tC
neutralize it. Moreover, it is asserted
on good authority that the intention tC
land German sailors at DelagOa bay
was only abandoned on receipt of news
of JamesOn's defeat. The consent OF
Portugal has been asked for transit OF
troops across Portuguese territory,
Another statement made on good au-
thority is that Germany has come tc
an agreement with France to arrest
British advances in South Africa and
that 1900 German volunteers, well
equipped, will start on board Of the
North German Lloyd steamer during
the coming week for Delagoa bay to as
SiSt the Beers.
ANTT-ENGLISH FEELING.
At the New Years reception at the
palace, Emperor William was frigid in
his treatment of the British ambassa-
dor, Sir Francis G. Lascelles. 1t was
remarked that his majesty barely ad-
dressed a few words to him and eyed
him stOnily. On the other hand the en-
peror's reception of the United States
ambassador Mr. Runyon, was most cor
dial. Besides the usual cOngratula-
lions, his majesty took pains to mani
fest undisturbed relations of intimacy
between Germany and the United
States, talking with Runyon most pleas
antly and amicably for some time.
The anti-English feeling has been fed
all along by the Bismarck press, which
mas reproached the government fol
trucking to English insolence," but
the emperor and the government have
Wlthstood these taunts. Now, however
vigorous anti-English policy may I'M
ooubtedly be anticipated.
incidentally, this has helped the Ger
mans to view the British-American diff
nculty with different eyes. The anxiety
mere to take part in the American loan
SHOWS this. The bankers of Berlin, Co
iogne and Frankfurt fell over each other
In their haste to have a share in it and
the United States embassy was over
Wnelmed throughout the week with in
qulries as to the precise terms of the
loan, proving conclusively that Ameri-
can credit is unimpaired in the money
market here
