DISCONTENT IN The TRANSVAAL.
INTENSE RACIAL FEELING AT
JOHANNESBURG.
A Boer Organ Talks Of War With
Great Britain and the Raz-
ing of the City.

LONDON. Dec. 29-A disquieting sit
uation is developing at Johannesburg.
According to til latest advices the
place is seething with discomfort, as on
the eve of the jameson raid, in conse-
quence of recent and proposed Govern
ment measures which the Uitlanders re-
gard as being q fresh series of imposi-
tions In addition, racial anllnosities
are intensifying at the vexatious treat
ment of the British Indians and Cape
Boys, which is causing much bitter
ness
There was a serious development last
week when a Boer policeman murdered
an Englishman, named Edgar, entering
the latter's house and shooting him. The
policeman was arrested on the charge,
but upon the following day the charge
was reduced to one of manslaughter,
and the policeman was allowed his lib
erty on bail The British agent de-
manded the restitution Of the charge of
murder, and mass meeting which was
attended by 5000 Uitlanders was held
at johannesburg on Sunday to protest
against the murder of Edgar, and to
present the British Consul with a
strongly worded petition to the Queen,
reciting the wrongs of the Uitlanders,
appealing for protection and demanding
such other steps as may be found nee
essary to terminate the existing intol-
erable state of affairs.
There were no speeches, owing to the
laws prohibiting political demonstra-
tions The petition was presented to
the Consul on the balcony of the Con-
sulate, the whole multitude signifying
assent by uplifting their hands. Refer
ences to the Boer policeman ELECTED
shouts of lynch him" The meeting
however, was peaceful, with the excep-
tion of a slight affray with the police
at it's conclusion.
The newspapers publish venomous
articles on the subject. The Boer or
gan, the ''Rand Post" yesterday dis
cussed the prospect of war with Great
Britain, and advised that on the British
act of war the women and children at
johannesburg be given twenty-four
hours 10 leave and that the whole
place be then razed, and that the per-
petrators of those turbulent proceed
ings, if caught, should be thrown into
the deep shafts of their mines, with the
debris of their machinery for costly
shrouds' and adding that 'the whole
of johannesburg will exult if the Afri
kander ward is converted into a gi-
gantic rubbish heap as a mighty tomb
stone for the shot down authors of the
monstrous deed

KINGS CITY SUFFERERS.
Nearly ALI the Needs Cared for by
the Relief Committee.

KINGS CITY, Dec. 29.-The Relief
Committee appointed by Governor
Budd, through it's representatives,
Messrs. King and Harlan, have been
very busy during the past few days
carrying on the work of relief, and
nearly all needs have been cared for.
Feed for the stock has been carefully
distributed, and enough will be given
out to last until the middle of Feb
ruary, when it is hoped that enough
grass will have grown on the hills to
tide the stock over until the regular
supplies can be obtained.
The committee is arranging to take
care of all people in need until such
time as they can care for themselves.
Judging by the rapid relief work al
ready done, it is safe to say that the
objects of the relief movement will be
brought to a successful termination at
no very distant date.
The citizens of this vicinity are very
grateful to all who have contributed
to the success of the movement, and
for the prompt answer of the people to
the call for assistance. With abundant
rains by the 1st of February, this sec~
ton will show excellent results next
year, and further calls for aid will be
fOrestalled

Spanish troops left Havana from the
vicinity of the palace. the arsenal,

Two companies of Pennsylvanians,

Colonel Seyburn of the Two Hundred

the American flag yesterday over the
municipal building at Mariel, in the
presence of a number of notable per-
sons and the people of the town. He
made a speech in English, which was
interpreted into Spanish, in the course
of which he said:
In this solemn act you must not
see any meaning except paternal love
and protection never domination. We
do not wish to see difference between
parties. ALI Cubans ought to unite
with US, SO as to recreate Cuba
In the name of my Government and
Nation, assure you that in proceeding
in this way you will obtain free and

of the ''Globe," writing from Hongkong
on November 26th. says:
TT will be a. great misfortune if
through hasty action or ignorance of
the actual state of affairs, the Filipino
natives rise against the Americans.
Hitherto, although the Americans have
often given great provocation, the Fill
pinos have shown great forbearance
and strong dislike to come to blows.
They do not want to fight, and if the
Americans only meet them half way,
all will go we'll
There is much to be gained by a
just, statesmanlike settlement with the
natives, while there will undoubtedly
be great losses through a continuance
Of arbitrary treatment. The just as
pirations of the people ought to be
taken into consideration, and 1 believe
they would be if only the proper men
are sent out by the President to settle
the question of the future government
of the islands on the spot after proper
deliberation and very careful investi
cation. Such a commission would dis
cover that the Filipino leaders have
been loyal to the Americans.
"I am informed that they have re-
fused to consider the overtures of Ger
many and France. When Prince Henry
visited France he caused the Filipino
leaders there to visit him, and informed
them that he was empowered to prom
ise the natives full recognition of their
national Government if they would
cede to Germany as a qufd pro quo a
small coaling station. France more
recently adopted similar advances, and
in each instance the reply was: We
cannot settle anything with you. The
Americans promised us independence,
and we wish to wait and see what the
Americans will do for u.s.

This general order will be executed
as regards Cubans as well as United

A joint meeting of the committees
Of various Cuban societies was held
this afternoon at the Irijoa Theater to
discuss the situation. The proceedings
were private, but it was decided to
endeavor to prepare hastily a petition
to be signed by business firms of Ha-
vana, requesting General Brooke to al
low the demonstration. This feature
of the proceedings is the only one made
public. 1t is reported, however, that
most Of those present advised that all
Cuban flags be taken down on Janu-
ary 1st, and the day made a day of
mourning, the Cubans carefully keep
ing away from the Americans. The
minority, on the other hand, urged that
it would be better to keep cool, to trust
the Americans, and to wait and see
how their policy would work out.
The developments of the next few
days may mean peace or war between
the United States and Cuba. Havana
citizens say they are being driven
away from the United States.

cape to-day to the American lines.
They were pursued by the Spanish
soldiers and in turn chased back by

but seventeen escaped through the
house and over roofs. There is an
unusual number Of criminals at large.
Senior Rodriguez, the owner of a pro-
vision warehouse on the Calzada, was
stabbed in the face and back to-day
because he refused to shout "Vive

avenue South, burned to-day. The
main elevator, with it's annex and 2O0,-

The division of the road is also blocked
up, and will be for a. few days.
The property is owned by the George
G. Bagley Elevator Company. The in
surance is ample to cover the loss,
which will be $4,000 on uthe building
and $135,OOO on the wheat This last
item is uncertain, as there is likely to
be considerable salvage of the damaged
wheat.
This is the second elevator to burn
within two days. The cause Of the
fire is a mystery.
