 the Transvaal.
 Berlin, Feb. 12.-The government has issued a white book containing the let ters which have passed between the gov ernment and Count von Hafzfeldt. Ger man ambassador to Great Britain, on the subject of the troubles in the Trans vaal; also the telegrams sent by the en- peror to President Kruger at Pretoria.
 The white book contains the first dis patch sent by Freiherr Marschall Won Bieberstein, minister of foreign affairs. to Count Von Hatzfeldt, German ambas- sador to Great Britain, written in Febru- ary, 1895. This letter refers to remarks made by the Earl of Wimberly. then Brit ish foreign minister in regard to Presi- dent Kruger's toast to the emperor of Germany in honor of that monarch s birthday The German minister in this communication declares that the mate rial interests of Germany require that the Transvaal shall be maintained as an independent state in accordance with the terms of the treaty of 1888, and that the status quo regarding the railway and the harbor of Delagoa bay be upheld. Dr. Jameson's idea, he says, that Rhodesia was to become a federation of all the South African states antagonized the in- ferests of Germany. To this Count HatZ- feldt replied that Lord Salisbury had ex- pressed his concurrence with Germany in her desire to maintain the status quo of the Transvaal
 December 30 last Emperor William re- ceived a telegram from the Germans Of Pretoria beseeching German intervention to prevent bIoodshed. The next day the German foreign minister wired the Ger man consul at Pretoria authorizing him. in an emergency. after consulting Presi- dent Kruger, to make requisiton for a landing party from the German warship See Adler as long as might be necessary. The Portuguese government was at the same time informed that the permission of Portugal was relied upon to land a detachment of German sailors at Delagoa bay.
 January Count Hatzfeldt informed his government that he was impressed with the belief that the British government was greatly displeased at Jamesons raid. In conclusion the white book contains

In the House of c,ommon.

London. Feb. 12.-In the course of de- bate in the house of commons today on the address in reply to the queens speech John Dillon, nationalist, demanded that statement be published showing the allotment Of shares of the chartered com panies, especially of the British South Africa company. He said he made this demand because there was a widespread conviction that members of the press and men Of prominence in the financial world and in parliament were not free from suspicion. MT. Dillon protested against Rn increased expenditure of money for naval purposes unless a just proportion Of the surplus from the budget should be handed over to Ireland. Referring to the Venezuelan difficulty, MT. Dillon said that England had accepted the principle of arbitration after menacing the United States. It would have been much more decent, he said, if England had accepted arbitration six months ago, and it would also be better for England if she adopted toward weak and unarmed nations the same measure of civility which she had shown to America.
 MT. Dillon concluded by moving an amendment to the address reciting that the absence of a bill providing for the self-government of Ireland had aroused discontent among the Irish and increased the difficulties existing in foreign affairs.
 The motion was seconded by MT. John F. Redmond, the leader of the Parnellite section of the Irish party.
 Sir Frederick Pollock, professor of ju- risprudence in Oxford university, who has for some time been engaged upon the preparation of Great Britain's case in the Venezuelan dispute. has completed his task, and the result of his work will be submitted to parliament next week. when concurrent statements intended to define the procedure for a settlement of the Venezuelan dispute will be presented in the house of lords by Lord Salisbury and in the house of commons by George foreign affairs.

Monterey, CAL, Aug. 11.-The Pa
sifio Coast Steamship Company's
steamer st. Paul. bound for San Fran
cisco, ran ashore at 10:S0 O'Clock last
night, near Moss beach, and is now
wedged on the rocks on which she
struck. The forty passengers on board
were safely landed at o'clock this
morning, and most of them took the
afternoon train for San Francisco. The
first news of the accident was brought
to the company's offices in this city by
seven passengers, who walked from the
beach and arrived here at 4 o'clock this
morning.
The boat is lying ON her port side
and does not move an inch. 1t is feared
she cannot be pulled off. The crew
will probably stay on board tonight, as
the bay is smooth.
In her position, and in the manner of
running ashore, the St. Paul's case is
much like that of the wrecked Colom-
bia. The officers have been instructed
to say nothing regarding the wreck.
On board are nearly 200 head Of cattle
and 500 sacks Of wool and grain.
There are many rumors current as to
the cause of the disaster. One story is
that the captain struck rock, and,
fearing the boat would sink, ran her
ashore for safety. Others say the cap.
tain missed his bearings, mistaking
Point Cypress for Point Pinos, and ran
ashore, thinking he was going into
Monterey.
The latest reports from the boat were
to the effect that the water is getting
higher, and at least six feet Of water is
in the hold.

Forgotten Documents Found by the
Venezuela Commission.
Washington, Aug. 11.-During the
past month the work of the Venezuela
boundary commission has entered upon
q new stage. Heretofore, the efforts, of
the commissioners have been directed
mainly to securing the evidence upon
which the final reports is to be based.
The work from now on will largely
consist of classifying the information
already obtained. The British govern
ment, it is presumed, has put into its
two voluminous bluebooks all the in
formation upon which it relies in sup
port of its claims. The Venezuela gov
ernment has done the same in its three
volumes of transcripts from the Span
ish archives. Independently Of this,
the commission has been searching on
its own account. The congressional
library in Washington and many pub
lie and private libraries in various
parts of the country have been ran
sacked for historical and cartographical
information. The archives at the
Hague have been gone through with
thoroughness that not even the zeal of
Great Britain or Venezuela has hereto
fore attempted, and as result import
ant documents, which the world thought
lost or destroyed have been unearthed.

For some months past, Sir Clement

copies of maps on file in the colonial
Office, some Of which have never been

possibly from other places, the bulk of
the evidence is now to determine what
that evidence establishes.
