The Spaniards had stretched heavy
chains across the bridge to prevent
the passage of cavalry This did not
deter the insurgents

which has just arrived, will not play.
The produce exchange is forming five
battalions for the defense of the city.
A double guard now surrounds all the
government buildings. Gen. Gomez has

outrages on any citizens, and threat

to state that President Kruger has not
demanded any changes in treaty stipu-
lations. If such were demanded, Eng
land would resist.
I'VE are authorized to declare that
the emperor's telegram to President
Kruger was at most an expression of a
feeling of momentary Irritation, which
has now passed away, leaving the rela-
tions between Germany and England
as friendly as heretofore''
The Standard, it should be remember
ed, stands nearer TO the present gov
ernment than any other newspaper in
England.
A dispatch to the Standard from Ber-
lin says: TT is Tumored that the EN-
press Frederick has written to Queen
Victoria and the Prince of Wales, ex-
planning the emperor's policy, with the
assurance that he had not the slightest
intention to darken the evening of the
queens life by an Angio-German war;
The Prince of Wales on Saturday
caused all the prominent members Of
the colonial office staff to be presented
to him, and he congratulated them up
on the work they have achieved in the
last fortnight The Berlin correspon-
| dent of the Daily News says: THE
crisis is acute, and as President Kru-
ger is making peace with England over
Germany's head, Germany has es-
tranged England without gaining any
thing by the occurrence. Everybody
is getting tired of the whole question: -
A dispatch from Paris to the Daily
News says: Herr Blokland has prob
ably asked France to take part in a
European conference to abrogate the
treaty of 1884, and upon Great Britain's
right of pre-emption in Delagoa Bay.
No Importance is attached to his
visit. If anything, France is anxious
to redress the Uitlanders' grievances
The sixty million of French capital
in the Transvaal would then be worth
much more.
dispatch from Brussels to the Daily

KAISER BEHIND HIM.
Sruger,s Attitude the Real Test of
the German Sentiment


the German Sentiment.
LONDON, Jan. 13.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Times says: "The
publicity given to the exchange of let
ters between the queen and the en-
peror is very unWelcome here. 1t is
regarded as an indiScreet attempt to
make political capital in the English
. interest out of the family relations of
the two courts. The substance of the
letters can only be matter of sur.
mise. The contents of the emperor's
letter may be inferred from the very
conciliatory and reassuring words he
addressed on the following day to the
foreign representatives here on the
occasion of the funeral Of Prince Alex
ander, of Prussia, when he emphasized
the unabated friendliness Of the En-
glish and German governments. In
fortunately, however, it is too early
to indulge in optimisms President
kruger's attitude may be better test
of Germany's real attitude than pro
fessions of amity. If President Kru-
ger prove obdupate it will be difficult
to resist the conclusion that he has
w
supprt. 1t must not be forgotten that
before DR.. Jamesons coup the organ
of the German foreign office urged
President Kruger to ignore the mani
festo of the National Union of Johan-
neSburg. DR.. Jamesons ill-starred en-
terprise simply gave Germany an op-
portunity to shift her ground to a
plausible condemnation of breach of
International law
A dispatch to the Times from Wen
ma says that the German National As
Sociatlon of Austria has telegraphed
congratulations to President Kruger.
An editorial in the Times SAYS:
There is far too great disposition in
SCI quarters to assume that the
Transvaal difficulty is ended. 1t can
only be truly said that the immediate
danger of bloodshed has been ayerted.
But all the evils and terrors which
made disturbance in the Transvaal.
with or without DR.. Jameson merely a
question of time, still remain unsettled.
While President Krugeris releasing Dr.
Jameson's men with one hand, with the
other he is throwing into prison the
heads OF English enterprises in Johan-
nesburg. He cannot be allowed to
transfer the charges of treason from
armed invaders to the hands Of popu-
1ation which never asked anything but
a fair share of political rights And
as he could have prevented DIR. Jame-
sons raid by divulging what his prep
araticns prove he knew, he does not
come. to court with clean hands
Whether as against Dr. Jameson or
JohanneSburgers, we should advise all
concerned to hear Hon. Cecil Rhodes
before deciding upon the somewhat OBJ
sure and complicated transactions.

GERMANS NOT aUIETED.
Tai of Aiding France to Regain
Egypt.


BERLIN, Jan. 12.-There is distinctly
less stress of feeling here today in re-
gard to the international complication
growing out Of the Transvaal crisis, and
the German press, as a rule, devotes
less space to it than for some time. The
tone of the comment in newspapers.
which means Sc much in this land of
press censorship and inspired express
SiOns in newspapers, is rather more
peaceable, and there is less talk of act
i've hostilities, and more hope expressed
CT an unarmed settlement of the ques-
ton at issue. Expressions of irritation
at the British government, and of ran
cor against the English people are still
more or less bitter, however.
The Tageblatt today replies to the as
sertionS made yesterday in the West
minister Gazette that Germany's atti-
tude on the Armenian question had
alienated Great Britain and had driven
1T to seek a rapproachment with France.
The Westminster Gazette added that
there was absolutely no intention on
the part of Great Britain to enter the
Franco-Russian alliance, any more than
the Dreibund, but Great Britain had be-
come, it was hoped, better friends, with
both France and Russia
To which the Tageblatt replies: $50
England has sought hitherto a point

would not have noticed that unless
Englands ceaseless colonial intrigues
and the unjustifable abuse in the Eng
lish press is proof of such an intimacy y
etc.
The Hamburg correspondent declares
that there is nc question of the abroga-
tlon of the suzeranity Of Great Britain
over the Transvaal, because the Trans
Taal has not recognized the British
suzeranity at any time since 1884.
The Kolnische Volks Zeitung saws:
1t is high time that the British govern
nent should deny it's responsibilities
for the Times lies and abusive sayings
about Germany. Continued silence i'm
plies guilt
The Deutsches Wochenblatt threatens
that when the Egyptian question shall
be revived, the German press will man
imously side with France against Eng
land.
