Berlin, Deeemper ,36.-The South African
war overshadowsy everything else here. The
correspondent ofdthe! Associated Press had
an Interesting Interview with the liberal
leader, Dr. Barth, who is one OF the most
steadfas5 frierrds' of Great Britain and the
United States, but who also condemns this
war. DR. Barth lsaid:
AT present it hooks as if England might
lose the whole 'of Souch Africa. l have
private information from Africa via Hol-
land, according ITO which the rebellous
movement among the Cape Beers has as
sumed much more serious proportions than
the English newspapers admit. There nev-
er WIS greater piece of political stupidity
than that shown by Mr.. Chamberlain In
provoking war without having made the
necessary military preparations. If Eng
land mad only waited few years she could
have had everything wtthout war. If Eng
land is totally defeated the war will be
the best thing for the world-even for Eng
land. 1T will be lesson sne will not soon
forget. 1t will have a wholesome influence
upon rfhe jingoes of all countries including
the GefFaarss. Our navy scheme, which Is
almost sure of adoption, must be under
stood TO be in connection with the warning
in South Africa, notwiths tandlng all fine
phrases offered in explanation.
The brutality Of the present English poll
ces renders Germanys position too inse-
cure. What happens in the Transvaal to-
day on land, may happen to Germany up
on the sea tomorrow. Distrust of England
makes 1t necessary for Germany to be so.
sailing English jingoes will think twice be-
fore attacking Germany.
If the English statesmen of today were
of the type of Gladstone and Morley we
should have no concern; but with such
special jack-o lanterns as Mr.. Chamber
lain at the helm we don't know what to
ty.
Confident of England's Defect
The German press generally during the
last few days, has expressed the opinion
that Great Britain will not only lose the
war, but also South Africa. A military
writer In the Deutsche Tages zeitung says:
''It is no longer a question of whether
England will not subjugate the Boer re-
publicans, but of whether she will also lose
Cape Colony, 1t is true England will re-
tain the harbors Cor they lie under the
guns of English ships, but the entire in
terror she will lose. and, instead of the
dreamed of enormous British South Afri-
can empire England will only keep a num-
Der of ports. These will probably be the
issue df the war If England does not hurry
| up and conclude peace"

Merchants of Berlin Protest

Berlin, December 30.-The seizure of the
Bundesrath was referred to at meeting
of merchants held today. After speech
by Adolph Woermann, president OF the
Hamburg chamber of commerce, dealing
with the great progress of the German
empire during the closing century, Herr
F1iffe, speaking in behalf of the firms trad
ing with South Africa. asked whether the
chamber was doing all that was necessary
for the protection of German trade in that
part of the world.
German commerce, he asserted, had al
ready suffered detriment through the war
in South Africa, and now news came OF
the seizure of a German steamer by a
British warship.
Herr Woermann replied that the cham
ber had already considered the question of
representations with the view of taking
action in the matter The chamber, he
continued, had been informed that the
steamship company owning the seized ves-
sci had telegraphed to Prince Hohenlohe.
the imperial chancellor, asking for govern
ment intervention and 1t was declared that
nothing whatever had been done by the
company which would In any way be re-
garded as a breach of neutrality.
