theory regarding contraband.
The Lokal Anzeiger surmises that there
must have been serious quarrel between
the commanders of the Bundesrath and
the Magicienne before the latter officer
"overstepped his prerogative in carrying
off the steamer" and expresses the hope
that Germany will speedily enforce the
release of the vessel
Even the moderate vossische Zeitung
calls the proceeding characteristic Eng

attitude of the English before Delagoa bay

1t is significant that to-day the German
Flotten Verein distributed in Berlin 100000
copies of strongly worded pamphlet,
pointing out the need of a strong German
navy.
From a well-informed authority it is
learned that preliminary negotiations have
been going on for some time between
Great Britain and Germany in London
for the purpose of extending the scope
of the treaty regarding the Portuguese
colonies but that the Asiatic colonies of
Portugal are not comprised in the extern
sion proposal.

In the existence of a secret treaty con-
corning Delagoa bay, but they discredit

Correspondent says: 1.-THE treaty has no
definite form, and it would only come into
force in case Portugal should consent to
sell a portion of her colonies. 1t is con-

no objections" The Vossische Zeitung also
asserts that the treaty does not mention
Portugars Asiatic possessions.
The Vorwaerts to-day publishes the al

peror Nicholas against the increase OF
naval ornaments, which, it is said he will
promulgate on the first day of the Russian
new year. The Vorwaerts publication rep.
resents the Gear converting another in
ternational conference to consider this par
ticular question. The general public ap-
pears to have accepted the manifesto as
genuine, but on inquiry at the Foreign
Office it was ascertained that the man
ifesto was bogus. From other sources

of the Associated Press learns that tn,
Vorwaerts meant the whole thing as
hoax. ard as an ironical reprimand for tn,

INsURRECTION FEARED.
British COlonists Organizing to Pro-
tect Themselves Against the Dutch.

CAPE TOWN, Dec 2S-The colonial au-
thorities are using every precaution TO pre-
vent an instruction on the part of dis
loyal Dutch in Cape Colony and to sup
press rising If one should occur. Every
where the British colonists are being or
ganized into home guards, drilled, armed
and ready to act in their respective local.
tiles should armed Dutch colonists gather.
The theory is that the British home-stay-
ing colonists should be fully prepared to
cope with the Dutch colonists without the
aid of regulars.
The alertness of the British makes united
action on the part of the pro-Boer resi-
dents difficult Unable to act openly, they
slip away singly, or in small groups, to
join the enemy's forces. The authorities
have been informed of many centers of
agitation, which it is considered undesir-
able to particulariZe, but there Is nothing
like concerted action apparent over wide
districts.
The case of Mr.. Michan. solicitor of
the De Beers Company, who is accused
of treason, acquires increased Importance,
as he has been transferred from the GUS
tody of the civil authorities here to the
military authorities at De Aar. His high
position causes the Dutch to watch his
case keenly.
Parties of Doers have been operating
some seventy miles south of Lord
Methuens position. Beers appeared on
Christmas day near the railway. about
twenty-nine miles south of De Aar. A
| force of the Duke of Edinburgh's Own
Volunteers prepared to engage them, but
the enemy retired.
| Another party fired into British patrol
| camp during the night of Wednesday, Dec.
q. This was near Victoria road An at
| tempt was made not far from that point
to damage the railway. One man was
caught in the act and shot A similar at
tempt was made between Multiersolei and
klapmues. but the would-be wreekers es-
capped. Like attempts are reported from
several other points.
Evidently small parties of Beers or
| Dutch colonials have been trying to inter-
| rupt the movement of trains, but thus far
| they have been baffled by the elaborate
| British patrolling. In one case a patrol
| OF regulars fired on a patrol of colonials
| The latter were wearing broad brimmed
hats and were mistaken by the British
| for Beers. No casualties occurred. but in
| consequence Of the incident an order has
been issued requiring all classes of troops
| to wear helmets.
