BITTER COMMENT.
The very bitter comments Of the British
press upon the action of the German
emperor are In marked contrast with the
moderate tone with which the neWspap-
erS here discussed the venezuelan crisis
In fact, the latter dispute seems almost
to have been lost sight Of especially since
such flood of discretion has been thrown
upon the British SIDE of the continent
by the Washington correspondent OF the
Chronicle of this city, In the publication
OF correspondence apparently hitherto not
carefully weighed on this side of the At
Iantic. All the batteries of the British
press seem to be turned upon Germany
and their fire Is increasing in Intensity

president of the Transvaal republic.
The Standard, which may be regarded
as directly representing the views of
the British government. speaks very
plainly on the subject and warns foreign
nations In general and Germany particu-
larly that Great Britain viii tolerate no
Interference and that in spite OF threats

may have further and most serious results

curbed.
The defeat Of DR.. Jameson's freeboot-
ers by the Beers has produced feeling
of great humiliation here and the greatest
anxiety is felt regarding the fate of his
cornpanions as there are among them the
younger sons Of some of the best known
families in Great Britain. This teeilng OF
humiliation adds to the degree of anger
felt against Germany and incree SEES con-

British Chartered counpanv's troopers is
another element which may cause further
troubles. az their families are certain TO
bring all the pressure they can POSSIBLY TO
bear upon the government in their efforts
TO wine out the humiliation inflicted upon
all concerned by the Beers.
BEHIND THE SCENES.
