London. Jan. 14.-Interest in the
Transvaal question in its immediate
bearings has revived to some extent,
| while the incidental straining of .re,a-
| tons between Great Britain and Ger
many, which so com; letcly placed the
| Beers in the background of the picture
for Il time, has in it's turn receded, but
by no means disappeared. There is
little apprehension of war with Ger
many over the present complications
| at least, and the British public has a
r~eaSSuSing sense that if there is TO be
a war, England is right ready for it.
The prompt and efficient measures of
the naval authorities, and the formid-
able show of strength that is the re-
suit, give John Bull a feeling of conf
dence. There are no further explicit
announcements of movements looking
to an alliance of the powers against
England today. Nevertheless. il is
kelly perceived by the public that the
sentiment displayed by the German
| government has a far wider bearing
than the present dispute in the Trans
| vaai, and there are visions of future
complications which may involve the
| whole of Europe.
A dispatch from johannesburg, in
the T~ransvaal, dated the 10th, says
| that it is reported from Pretoria that
been started for Natal. where they
will be handed over to British authori-
ties, to be tried under the laws making
it a punishable offense to prepare a
Warlike demonstration against u
friendly state. According to this dis
patch, several further arrests have oc-
Cured at Johannesburg. Seventy war
rants have been Issued and all pass
ports have been stopped. Business is
stagnant in consequence of the exist
ing condition of affairs.
A Cape Town dispatch says: "A
proclamation issued by Sir Hercules
Robinson. governor of Cape Colony.

ton of administrators Of M%aShonaland.

Berlin, Jan. 14.-There is distinctly
less stress of Keeling here to-day in re-
gard to the international complication
growing out Of the Transvaal crisis,
and the German press, as a rule, de-
votes less space TO ii than for some
time. The tone of the comment of the
newspapers, which means so much in
this land of press censorship and in
spired expressions in newspapers, Is
rather more peaceable. and there Is
less talk Of active hostilities ana more
hope expressed of an unarmed settle
meDt of the question at issue. Ex-
pressions Of irritation at the British
government and of rancor against the
English people are still more or less
bitter, however.
Jameson VIII he
Pretoria, Transvaal. Jan. 1.-THE
rank and file Of the prisoners who
composed DR.. Jameson's raiding party
have started for Natal. DIR. Jameson
n his officers remain here, but IL is
expected they will leave shortly for
deportation to England. A large safe
which was consigned to one Farrar,
n OF the imprisoned Rand leaders,
was opened by the customs officers,
and was found to contain 100 revolv-
ers and 1000 rounds Of cartridges.
The passport restrictions which were
imposed during the crisis have been
removed and furthermore commander
ings have been stopped. But the bur
CHEERS arc already under arms, and
have been ordered to remain in the vi
entity of johannesburg. DR.. Jameson
and his officers are still ut Pretoria,
where Sir Walter Hely-Hutchinson,
governor Of Natal. has arrived. The
high court has placed an INJUNCTION
upon all the bank balances and other
property belonging to those arrested
for completely in the revolution.
