nopolized public attention. 1t is the
unanimous feeling in Germany that
the jameson raid was due to comfy
ance on the part of the British gov
eminent, in spite of official denials,
and all Germany is intensely anti
English. This feeling is finding vent
in resolutions passed by the colonial
and other associations in favor OF
Transvaai independence, and the en-
tire press is expressing hostility to
England. The big German Colonial
society viii hold a monster demon
stration Jan. 16, when a resolution
bearing on the Transvaal will proba-
bly, be adopted In the reichstag,
however the Transvaal matter will
not be ventilated, in consequence of a
hint received from the minister OF for
eign affairs, Baron Marchal Won
Bieberstein, that the government does
not want 10 show it's hand, and that
1t would be Inconvenience by dis
cussion of the subject. To that end the
foreign budget, which was to have
been discussed in the reichstag yester-
day, was postponed indefinitely. 1t
is generally believed here that Russia
and France are supporting Germany
in the lattcrs efforts to preserve the
Independence of the TTansvaal rea-
sons outside of colonial policy making
it desirable that Germany should stop
the British advance in South Africa.
Emperor William felt bound to as
sure President Kruger of Germany s
sympathy, and if necessary support,
and he deemed himself bound to take
this step by the verbal appeal Of Pres
ident Kruger, during his stay in Ber-
lin, to the emperor's grandfather, Will
lam l., and to Prince Bismarck in 1894,
for help in the hour of trouble, to
which appeal Emperor William l. made
a half promise of support.
BRITISH INSOLENCE
- The attacks made on the emperor by
the London press are regarded here
as being typical Of British insolence,
and the claim of suzerainty rights on
the part of Great Britain is answered
by quoting the words Of the COnven-
ton of 1884 in which the British crown
expressly waived all rights save on
one point. This is also the view taken
of the situation by the German govern
ment, and minute and frequent inStruc-
tons have been sent to the German
ambassador at London, Count Won
Observation-Disclosures, to act in strict
accordance with it. An official of the
German foreign Office said today: mo
serious trouble is expected. The main
quarrel is one picked by the British
press, and not by the British govern
ment. Germany insists simply on the
statu quo which will suffice for the
Transvaals to develop its Independence
and resources. All speculation beyond
that is baseiesa In insisting on the
independence Of the Transvaal Ger

rope, and Great Britain does not dare
disregard this warning to keep her
hands off the soil OF that brave little
nation"
Several of the newspapers point out
that Germany has big commercial in
terestS in the TransVaal. For instance,
the National Zeitung recalls that the
Delagoa Bay railroad was mainly con-
structed by Dutch and German CAPT
tai. while 50,000,000 marks are invested
in the best Transvaal gold mines. In
addition. many important factories
have been built in the transvaal by
Germans. and the Siemens company
has erected there the most important
electric power transmission plant in
the world, producing 1000 horse pow
er. 1t is limited that the reichstag will
shortly be asked 10 vote several million
marks with which to subsidize a line
of steamers between Germany and Del
agoa bay.
BISMARCK'S HEALTH.
