WE'RE ARMED FOR EFFECT.

London, Jan. IA dispatch to the
Times from Johannesburg, dated Jan
uary l, and others dated since that time,
show that the citizens were well armed
and organized, under the leadership of
Col. Frank Rhodes and Mr.. Farrar, to
secure the redress of grievances without
intending an offensive movement, but
only doing so to show the government
that they were ready if compelled.
All Transvaal police are withdrawn
from the town and concentrated at the
JAIL while force of 500 Beers command
ed the Jail from a ridge. Meantime the
reform committee pledged themselves to
abstain from violence and not to aid
DR.. Jameson, provided he should be al
lowed to enter the town unmolested, and
they guaranteed that he should be sent
back. .H'
Dispatches from Cape Town to the
Times describe the intense feeling there
at the faiulre of the Johannesburgers to
succor DR.. Jameson. But the National
union delegates say that a disposition of
the governors orders would have frus-
trated his mission of mediation and ami
mosities of the old times would be re-
vived.
A Times dispatch from Johannesburg
says that Colonel Rhodes told the crowd
the whole truth, declaring that is was
The Times this morning makes the fol
lowing announcements: Orders have
been sent to Portsmouth, Davenport and
Chatham for the immediate commission
ing of six ships, to form flying squad
ron, the object of which is obviously to
have a squadron ready for any required
emergency.
1t will be composed of two frst-class
battleships, two first-class and two sec
ond-class cruisers. Probably the Royal
Oak and the Revenge will be chosen.
The possibility of the commissioning of
such squadron at a moments notice,
shows that our resources are better than
was supposed and is proof that our naval
organization has greatly improved of late
years. 1t has also been decided to dis
patch a naval force to Delagoa bay, but
it is unknown whether it will be composed
of vessels from the Cape or from the East
Indies.
In an editorial the Times has hopes
that the Mediterranean fleet will be
drawn from Salonica and ordered else
where and prepare for emergencies.
The Times congratulates the country
upon the foregoing news and with refer
ence. to reiteration by it's Berlin cores
pondent of the statement that Germany
had intended to land marines at Lorenzo
Marquis for the invasion of the Trans
vaal and had only abandoned the inten-
ton on hearing of DR.. Jameson's defeat,
the Times says:
This is a grave statement and we re-
fuse to believe that Portugal would have
lent herself to such move. But it proves
that German interference was not the re-

Last night the leaders of three diff
ferent political parties in Cuba met in
the Office of Diaro De La Marine, dis
cussed the situation and went to the
Spanish club, where they were welcomed
by it's president. He said in his ad-
dress that while each party will continue
to respect it's principles all should act
together out of patriotic motives.
Rafael MontrOe, one of the leaders of
the home rule party, replied, saying that
it was the duty of good citizens to sus-
tain Martinez Campos and the govern
ment regardless of political sentiments.
The event is notable because M0ntrOe
and others never visited the Spanish club
officially.

NO OEEICIAL NEWS.

Washington, Jan. 7.-At the state de-
partment it is said that no information
has been received concerning the critical
condition of affairs at Havana. AS the
navy department has no ships in Cuban
waters, no information comes from that
source. The intelligence from Cuba is
of such an alarming character that some
surprise is expressed, even by officials,
that no word comes to the government as
to the situation.
Minister De LONE of Spain has his
patience sorely tried at the news, which
he regards as extravagant, and at the
constant inquiries coming to him. The
mention of the report that General Cam
pos has resigned or that Havana has fall
len is Indignantly resented by him. He
does not care to make denials for he says
these reports are such preposterous in
surgent fabrications that he will not
notice them.
