Berlin, Jan. 4.-The invasion of tn
Transvaal by DIR. Jamison and force
OF the British South Africa compan-
mas brought up all the latent feeling O
hostility to England. and has evoke,
an outburst similar to that produce,
by President Cleveland's message I,
america. The general belief that th,
duplicity of the British statesmen :,
| deliherate, and in pursuance of theil
policy in keeping Europe divided into
two camps in order to facilitate Eng.
Ish aggressions and encroachments in
AFRICA and elsewhere, has received
supposed confirmation in the news OF
Jamison's venture. In spite OF the
oisaVowal OF the British secretary OF
state 1or the colonies of any knowledge
OF responsibility for the step taken by
Jamison, little doubt is felt here that
u was prompted In high quarters, and
the free terms of the emperor's mes
sage are interpreted as indicating the
same mistrust of English protestations
is felt In government circles. Every
body understands the emperor's mes
sage to President Krueger was not due
10 mere impulse, but was decided upon
and drafted after a grave council of
ministers, and ii must therefore be re-
garded as open pronouncement of a
change In the German policy toward
Great Britain.
Immediate news of the invasion of
the Transvaal was received on Tues
DAY evening and the emperor sum-
moned the minister for foreign affairs
Baron Marshal Won Beiberstein. and
Dr. Jayser, director of the colonial
ohlce, to Potsdam and spoke to them
In strong terms of the breach of inter-
national law. Later an official note
was sent to the British government.
asking curtly the meaning of Jamison's
raid and what steps would be taken to
neutralize it, Moreover, 1t is asserted
on good authority, the intention to land
German sailors at Delagoa bay was
only abandoned on receipt of the news
OF Jamison's defeat. The consent of
Portugal has been asked for transit of
troops across Portuguese territory.
Another statement, made on good
authority, is that Germany has AL
ready come to an agreement with
France to arrest the British advance
n South Africa, and that 800 German
well equipped, will start on
board North German Lloyd steamer
Turing the coming week for Delagoa
'ay to assist the Beers.
AT the New Years reception at the
'alace, Emperor William was frigid
n his treatment of the British ambas-
ador, Sir Francis c. Lascelles. II was
emarked that his majesty barely ad-
Iressesd a few words to him and eved
Inn sternly. On the other hand, the
mperor's reception of the United
tates ambassador. Runyon, was most
ordial. Besides the usual congratula-
ions, his majesty took pains to mani
est undisturbed relations of intimacy
etween Germany and the United
tates, talking with Runyon most
and amicably for some time.
Anti-English feeling has been all
long fed by the Bismarck press, which
as reproached the government for
to English insolence," but
lie emperor and government have
Itherto withstood these taunts. Now
'wever. a vigorous anti-Englfsh policy
ay undoubtedly be anticipated. :
