ENGLAND WILL STAND FIRM
LORD SALISBURY GIVES AN EM-
 PHATIC REPLY TO GERllANY.

She VIII Maintain Her Rights in the Trans
 vaai at All Costs-An is Quiet About tho
 Government Offices Late at NiGht--Presi-
 dent Kruger May Take Some Action in
 Expelling Leading Asitntors.
 London. Jan. S.-The Central News has authority for the statement that Lord Salisbury has notified the German government that Great Britain will maintain the rights in the TransVaai secured to her under the convention of 1884 al all costs. ....
 The generosity shown by President Kruger is admitted everywhere. At the clubs here it is a matter of specu- lation as to what terms will be made by Sir Hercules Robinson, governor Of the Cape Colony. The concensus or opinion is that President Kruger will expel the leading agitators in the Rand, of whose participation in the consplla- cy against the Transvaal government he possesses proof, and that the British government will punish the other par ticipants It is also believed that the British South Africa company will be obliged to pay heavy indemnity and will lose it's administrative rights in the adjoining territory.
 Everything is quiet about the gov ernment offices tonight. Lord SaEs- bury is giving a county ball at Hatfield house, his seat in Hertfordshire.
 It is stated tonight that Hon. Charles Coventry, a captain in the Bechuana- land police and son of the Earl of Gov entry, whose death was recently an- nounced to have occurred from the eff fects of wounds received in the battle Between the Boers and Dr. Jameson's forces in the Transv@al, is alive. MT. Coventry's condition is not serious.

 Hours.

 ''The column under General Navarro yesterday had an engagement last ing three hours with the main bands of Maceo and Gomez in Ceiba del Agua, dispersing them. Twenty dead have been found and buried by soldiers. The Spanish loss was slight, four officers wounded and twenty casualties among the men, either killed or badly wound ed.
 The troop captured numerous horses, arms and ammunition. The column is reconnoitering the scene of the fight and many columns are following the in surgents. The army is in high spirits and Havana is completely quiet
 Minister Dupuy de Lome also re- ceived 8 loT.g eablegram from the gov ernment at Madrid to-day giving a summary of the latest official reports received from the con1nander-in-chief in Cuba. These reports show that it is exceedingly difficult to get fight with the bands of marauders which are constantly galloping about burning and pillaging the defenseless plantations plantations and small villages. Gen eral Campos says that the rebels never stop long enough to be overtaken in any considerable numebrs. The inva- sion of Pinar del Rio by the insurgents, small bands of bandits precede the main forces Of the insurgents and cause more damage than AIoceo and Gomez.
 Yesterday 1000 men were sent by sea to Colonia, the port of Pinar del Rio. to reinforce the troops there. In the rest of the entire island of Cuba noth- ing of a revolutionary character is oc- curing
 Minister Dupuy de Lome expresses his full confidence that these dispatches give an exactly truthful statement Of affairs.

S-A Pretoria dispatch says it is reported that the Transvaal government has demanded the banish- ment of Cecil Rhodes and Dr. Jameson, and the payment of a large indemnity by the South Africa company Nothing is known of this report in official quar tels and it is not believed.

All the papers praise Colonial Secretary Chamberlain for his course in the difficulty.
 Sir Hercules Robinson receives his share of praise.
 The Daily News and the Daily Ch.on- icle lead in an emphatic demand for a thorough sitting of the British South Africa company's liability for the trou- ble, and admonishing the government not to shirk it's obligation to the Trans vaal and to England to discover the real authors Of the apparent gross con- spiracy against the South Africa repub- lie.
 The lectures to Emperor William are generally repeated

CRUISER BROOKLYN
Made Fastest lime on Least Fuel Eve,
Recorded

The Philadelphia Press of August
30th, in describing the triumphant re-
turn of the Brooklyn after her recent
trial trip, remarks that the famous
cruiser developed the highest rate of
speed on the least fuel ever known"
This statement, taken in connection
with the comments of the Boston Globe
and Herald on the remarkable record
made by the Brooklyn, is of general
interest. The Globe says:
The trial trip of the United States
cruiser, Brooklyn, was, indeed, a de-
cided success, and not a little of this
can be attributed to the fuel used-the
Pocahontas bituminous coal.
The Cramps take no chances in the
choice of fuel; they know from past ex-
perience that this coal is the mos,
superior and reliable fuel in this coun-
try, hence they VIII use no other.
And the Herald, speaking also of this
coal, adds
1t has most remarkable record il
the history of the trade The first
mine was opened in 1883, the shipments
that year amounting to only Is. .ooc
tons. In 1894 there were 3s collieries in
