The London Times says today, with ref

spondent of the statement that Germany
had intended to land marines at Lorenzo
Marques for the invasion Of the Transvaal
and had only abandoned the intention on
hearing of DR.. Jameson's defeat:
This is grave statement, and we refuse
to believe that Portugal would have lent
herself to such move. But it proves that
German interference was not the result of
sudden Indignation a DR.. Jameson's ac-
ton, but had been meditated and discussed
and presumably concerted with the Beers.
Emperor Williams Indignation must &C
cordngly be regarded in the light of diplo-

IMMENSE PRAIRIE FIRES.

A Wichita, Kan, dispatch, January Z, says:
Probably two counties in western Kansas
were covered by fire last night. About 9
o'clock light was seen in the sky, observable
simultaneously at Pueblo, Col, and Wichita,
a distance apart Of five hundred miles. The
supposition is that there are two immense
prairie fires in Kansas about one hundred
and fifty miles apart
The Eagle has reports from ten stations,
which indicates the largest fire to be in
Kiowa county, and that it is of vast pro-
portions. Haviland Is the nearest sta
ton to the fire that can be reached, ard
the agent there says the nearest fringe of
blaze is probably fifteen miles away but
that newspaper can be read by its light
in the streets Of that town.
At st. John, in Stafford county, the peo-
pie are panic-stricken. as the fire is sweep
ing in their direction before a strong wind.
Many of the farms have been abandoned
for years. and the fire is feeding On the
rank grass, sunf1owers and dead hedges
st. John people think that the loss of prop
erty and life Of man and beast will be
appalling. 1t is impossible to get details,
as operations on the Wichita and Western

the stations to report the disasters.

police were withdrawn from the town and

500 Beers commanded the jail from ridge.
Meantime the reform committee pledged
themselves to abstain from violence, and
not to aid DR.. Jameson, provided he should
be allowed to enter the town unmolested,
and they guaranteed that he should be sent
back.
Long dispatches from Cape Town to the

but are unanimous in their enthusiasm for

The United States battle ship Indiana
sailed from the League Island navy yard
on her maiden voyage under the official
flag of the government early yesterday
morning. She goes to Newport first, for
her torpedoes and gun cotton, and will
then formally join Admiral Bunce's feet at
Hampton Roads. After the great battle
ship has been tremendously received by
her sister ships of the squadron she will,
within tweuty-four hours, go to Port
Royal, s. c., where she will be placed in
the big government dry dock.
Capt. Robley d. Evans, the commander
of the Indiana, is confined to his bed on
ship board by a return of the attack OF
rheumatism from which he has suffered
so much this winter.
The Indiana, when she sailed yesterday,
had on board 500 tons of ammunition and
sixty days rations Before she can be placed
I'm the dry dock, ii will be necessary to re-
move much of her ammunition, the en-
trance to the dock being so shallow that
it is regarded as dangerous to attempt to
place a ship of the 1ndiana's draught in II
before first Tightening her as much as pos
sible.
The Indiana's sister ship the Massachu-
setts which is being constructed at
Cramps ship yards, is nearly completed,
the guns and one turret being yet lack
ing.
Work on the big thirteen-inch guns is being
pushed at the navy yard, men working
twenty-four hours day on them, and
they will be finished by January Is.
The after-turret is being made by the
Bethlehem iron works, and this, It is stat
ed, will not be finished before late in the
spring, so that the official trial will prob
ably not take place until June or July.
The Oregon, the third battle ship of the
Indiana class. is being built at San Fran
cisco, and is in about the same stage of
completion as the Massachusetts. These
three ships were contracted for nearly five
years ago, and a member of tie shipbuili-
ing firm is authority for the statement
that they would have been in commission
two years ago had it not been for the

were partnership trar action, and that
Cudahy was equally liable with him for the
