much more satisfactory. 4 dispatch
TO the Secretary of State for the Colo
nies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, from
Sir Hersules Robinson. dated yester-
day and just made public, says that the
Citlnnders of Johannesburg have sur
rendered Internationally and have
given up their arms to the representa-
tives of President Kruger. In addition
the latter has intimated his intention
of handing over DIR. Jameson and the
other prisoners captured by the Beers
to the British High Commissioner on
the Board of Natal.
Sir Hercules Robinson. in his dis
patch, adds: You may therefore be
satisfied that the crisis is over and
that all danger of further hostilities
is ended"
The dispatch is regarded by Mr..
Chamberlain as practically settling the
crisis in the affairs of the Transvaal
so far as the Beers are concerned, and
it is also looked upon as disposing of
the report that DIR. jameson had been
sentenced TO be shot, which was cur
rent at Capetown recently
WILL DEMAND INDEMNITY.
London, Jan. S.-A dispatch received
from Capetown this evening, but
dated January Z, says it is reported
ut Pretoria that the Transyaal govern
ment demands the Punishment of Mr.
Cecil Rhodes, eX-Premier of the Cape
Colony, and DR.. jameson, from Africa,
and that an enormous fine is also de-
manded from the British chartered
company.
1t is supposed here that this may re-
fer to the SO, 800, 900 indemnity which,
according to "A dispatch from Berlin,
the Transvaal government will de-
mand of Great Britain.
An editorial in the Times admits
that the chartered South Africa Co,
ought to indemnify the Transvaal for
DIR. Jameson's raid, but says there is
not a shadow of pretext for the de-
mand for Hon. Cecil Rhodes expul-
sion.
A despatch TO the Times from Ber-
lin, speaking of the supposed purpose
of the Germans to despatch troops to
the relief Of the Beers says: ''It is
now explained that Germany only de-
sired to protect German residents and
its consulate at Pretoria, and that no
arrangement had been previously
made with Portugal and after hearing
that DIR. jameson had started, Ger
many had only time to telegraph an
explanation of its intended action TO
Lisbon. The news of DIR. Jameson's
defeat arrived before Portugal had time
to reply. 1t is pity that this expla-
nation was not published ear&er."

Wake Forest ever had broke out last
night about o'clock and swept away
a stable, a fertilizer warehouse and
three stores. 1t seems to have origin
ated accidentally in the stable from a
spark from pipe or cigar or possibly
from a railroad engine. The stable
was enveloped in flames when the

w. j. Wingate, new building, and
that of his brother, W. Il. Wingate,
occupied by ". A. Dunn & Co., make,
with the Purefoy house, practically
one building, all of wood, which burnt
rapidly. For about an hour the resi-
dence of Professor Poteat was in dan
ger through negro house and yard
Office near the railroad, as was also
the rest of the bushes portion of the
town, but by the heroic and united eff
forts of the large body of students
assisted by a number Of the colored
people the fire was checked. The
large brick store of w. G.. Powell &5
Co, though i'm about six feet of w. B.

tearing off some of the tin to pour
water on the hot timbers below. Will

to get close enough 10 the danger

Secretary of the Interior EIoke Smith
responded to "The Public Credit"
Secretary Smith asserted that the
country was given a sound currency
by Democratic administrationre

to maintain it. The sound money

sound, and If the next Democratic plat
form declares in unmistakabie lang
uage on the subject there will be found
few Democrats who will not heed the
party's declaration.
Secretary Smith reviewed the record
of the Democratic administration from
March a, 1855, to March 4, 1889. He
said that it had paid off S341, las, 900
of bonds, and had left over 100000, 900

serve. while the Republicans who fol-
lowed paid off $23s, 100000 of bonds.
and though finding surplus in the
Treasury almost sufficient for making
the payments, it left the Treasury
practically empty with the exception
of gold reserve, when turned over to
the Democrats on March 4, 1893
The Secretary said there is por-

as loyal to that flag as Jackson was,
