An Alleged Ending.

LONDON, Jan. A dispatch to the
secretary of state for the colonies.
Joseph Chamberlain, from Sir Hercu-
les Robinson, dated yesterday and just
made public, says the Uitlanders of
Johannesburg have surrendered I'M
conditionally and given UP their arms
to the representatives of President
Kruger. In addition, the latter has
,intimated his intention of handing
over DIR. Jameson and the other pris-
oners captured by the Beers to the
British high commissioner on the
borders of Natal. Sir Hercules Robin
son, in the dispatch, adds: on may,
therefore, be satisfied the crisis is over
and all danger of further hostilities
ended
The dispatch is regarded by Cham
berlain as practically settling the
crisis in the affairs of Transvaal. so

also looked upon as diSDosing of the

Germnn rnpers Tnrk.

CINCINNATI, Jan. S.-What the two
German dailies here will say editor
tally tomorrow in reference to the Ger
man and English quarrel is as fol-
lows:
The VofEzs BIatt (Rep.) says:
The present attitude of England and
Germany is hostile. There is no gain
saying this fact. This, however, does
not p0rtend war There will be an ad-
justment of the differences that are
stirring up both countries at this pres
ent hour by England quietly pocketing
the slap it has received at the hands of
the Germans. That it was deserved,
no one but Englishmen will dispute.
English aggressions have of late been
so frequent and tended so much to
create uneasiness that the world owes
a debt of gratitude to the German en-
peror for checking the British inso-
lence and rapacity.
The Volks Freund (Repl says:
In spite of all the noise about war
which disturbs peaceful citizens, we do
not believe there will be war between
England and Germany. We are of the
opinion that England has no more
right to exercise a protectorate over
the South African republic than Ger
many. If the emperor of Germany
sees fit to help that republic nobody
can forbid it The stronger should al
ways be on the side Of the weaker. Our
sympathy is entirely with Germany, as
in the quarrel with Venezuela it is with
the United States of America.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Discuss Che AdvisaBiIisy of Amend

fined largely to the free coinage wing
OF the party. The result OF the meeting
was the adoption Of Senator Quay's reso-
luton. introduced yesterday. expressing
the sense OF the senate caucus to be that
the npance committee should report the

on the subject, saying that he had,

gress in 1890. foregone the opportunity
TO amend that measure with free coin
age provision on the representation that
the bill with such an amendment would
be vetoed, only TO be told afterwards
by the friends OF that bill that the Sher-
man silver bill was passed as the only
hope of defeating free coinage. He de-
clared he would not again be placed in
that predicament.
Brief speeches were also made on this
feat ure of the question by Senators Du-
bois. Mantle, Shoup and others.
There was a sufficiently general ex-
pressicn Of opinion among the silver
senators TO show that there were not TO

American silver product. and said he
would offer an amendment 10 this effect

Mr. Baker also reiterated his declara-
ton of yesterday 10 disregard the in

lines
There was a general expression of
opinion that the bill, whether amended
or not amended. the senate never would
vote it to become a law. Several senators
expressed the opinion that it could not re-
celve executive sanction.
After the conclusion of the tariff bill,
an effort was made to proceed TO the
consideration Of the reorganization of the
senate by the election of general officers,
but the meeting adjourned without TAX

ter adjournment a call was circulated

question, and 1T is understood that sur

ANTI-SILyER MIN.
They Hold a Meeting or Conference
Mt the Capital.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-The anti
silver Democrats of the Senate held a
meeting or conference today while the
Republican senators were in caucus.
The object Of the conference was to
count how many men could be mus
tered against the free coinage amend
ment of the Senate finance committee
to the bond bill. 1t was found that
there are fourteen sure votes on the
Democratic side against the silver
proposition and the Democrats We're
assured there were twenty-six Repub-
leans who could be counted against
the Jones amendment. This would
make forty in all. Four more votes
would be necessary to a majority of
the Senate Both Democratic and Re
publican anti-silver men are now max
ing an effort to see if these four votes
can be obtained Among the Repub-
liCans who are not counted in the sill

On the Democratic side are Senators

ST. LOUIS, Jan. S.-A special to the
Republic from Key West, Fla. says:
A cipher dispatch from Havana received
here tonight says the advance column
of GomeZ's army is eamped in the noun
famous country in the province Of Pinar
del Rio, thirty-five miles west Of the
capital. The main body Of insurgent
troops is in sight of Havana and skirn-
ishes with the Spanish regulars are con-
stantly going on. It is not believed. how
ever. that Gomez VIII attack Havana.
He is too wary for that. There are in
the insurgent army all told less than
LOCO men. The Spanish in Havana num-
Der at least 10000. Marshal Campos
WOULD welcome an attack under these
conditions, and General Gomez is tco
shrewd to accommodate him. He has
sent couriers to the eastern provinces
for reinfcScements and viii scarcely
push the campaign until the recruits ar
rive ana until the insurgent sympathizers
in Havana have perfected their plans.
General Campos IS partly afraid to en-
gage the insurgent army outside the
city. Gomez mas attempted several
times to draw the enemy out but thus
far without avail He will continue to
harrasS Campos until definite understand
ing with the people at Havana has been
be fought General Gomez is counting
upon an uprising in the capital and he
plans an attack on the city simultan-
eously with this outbreak.
In the meantime Gomez VIII cover Ha-
vana, both from the east and west and
prevent the exodus of any eousidera Bile
body Of Spanish troops, while the advance
column in Pinar del Rio will subjugate
that province.
Havana, to all intents and purposes. Is
in a state of seige. Martial law has been
proclaimed and a strict censorship is
maintained over all avenues of conmuni-
cation with the outside world. Core
Spondents OF American papers send word
to Key West that it is impossible TO for
ward accurate information by cable ex-
cept at rare intervals and by resorting
to novel devices.

How Speedily Monitors Now Under
Construction Could BE Equipped.
WASHINGTON, Jon. S.-The navy
department took steps today to learn
how speedily all the monitors now
under construction could be equipped
for service in case of emergency. The
various bureau chiefs We're consulted
ana reports made as to the length of
time each branch of work required
From this it appears that the low free
board monitor Monadnoek, now at
Mare Island, can be ready for service
in fourteen days. The testing of her
pneumatic steering apparatus is about
the only feature requiring time.
The low free board monitor Terror,
now at New York will require sixty
days to be made ready for service.
These three crafts will make a
powerful acquisition to the available
naval vessels. They are fully equipped
with armor and the few days required
for making them ready for sea will
be spent on minor finishing touches.
1t is expected also that the ram
Kahtadin will be ready for service at
an early day. The department is in
communication with the Bath iron
works as to certain minor changes in
the vessel and General Hyde, of the
Bath company, will be here tomorrow
to make necessary arrangements.
