MISSION At PRETORIA PROPOSED,
THE HOUSE TO VOTE ON WILLIAM ALDEN
SMITHS AMENDMENT TO THE DIP
LOMATIC BILL

Washington. Feb. 1 (SpeciaD.-The House
Committee Foreign Affairs. after discussing
in a non-committal way William Alden Smiths
suggestion that provision be made in this years
Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation bill for
the appointment Of a Minister PIenipotentiary
to the South African Republic decided to let the
House vote directly without recommendation on
Mr. Smiths proposed amendment. Opinion diff
fered In the committee to the effect on the
TransvaaTs political status Of the creation Of an
American Mission at Pretoria. Mr.. Smith him
self argued that the dignity and authority of
ply be increased by such promotion. and that
the question OF the TransvaaTs autonomy would
remain absolutely unaffected by a mere altera-
ton IN the title bestowed on the agent main
tatned at the seat OF President Krdger's Gov
eminent by the United States. Other members
Of the committee contended, however, that the
appointment of Minister PlenipOtentiary 10
Pretoria would involve an immediate recogni-
ton of the absolute independence of the South
African Republic
Mr. Smith will probably offer his amendment
when the Diplomatic bill is considered in the
House. though there are many Representatives
who think the result he desires could be at
tanned more satisfactorily by providing for a
Mission to the Orange Free State, whose uncon-
Minister to Bloemfoutein could practically full
I'll all the necessary duties OF a diplomatic agent
in the territory of the two republics, and the
creation of such q Mission would probably en-
tail no disputes to the propTiety eld friendli-
ness of this Governments act.

the subject. German colonial circles and the
German Government itself regard the war
distinctly unfavorable to Germany's interests in
Africa. No matter how it may end, Germany
will acquire uncomfortable neighbors-either

More than this. the feeling is that in German
Southwest Africa, where the Boer element is
strong but slumbering, formidable Boer move

therefore, would like peace under conditions
that would leave both belligerents weakened.

The Beers will and must continue the fight
until the military bankruptcy of the English Is
accomplished.

FRAGMENTS OF WAR NEWS.
DRAIN ON BRITISH COAL sUPPLIEs-FOR-
EIGNERS WITH THE Beers.

London, Feb 2-The announcement that a
firm Of Cardiff coal shippers has contracted to
supply foreign agents with 100000 tons of steam
coal for shipment abroad has occasioned genu-
inc uneasiness. The destination Of the fuel is
not mentioned. but coal at present is excep-
tionally scarce in Germany, France and Russia,
IT is probably going TO one of these three
tries. France is already replacing her home de-
fciency by buying IN the United States but the
American shipments are intended solely for rail-
road locomotives and will not be used in the
navy. The vital interest which the question has
for Great Britain viii be understood when 1t is
realized that Natal is depending Wales for
coal for the numerous transports that have gone
to Durham, because the colonial coal fields have
been closed by the It is pointed out that
1t would be a good political move the part OF
the Beers to drain the fuel resources of Great
Britain IN this manner, and in the event of sud
den demands the British navy would be per-
lously crippled by the loss Of much coal.
Some OF the newspapers advocate the Govern
ment placing embargo such transactions
IN wartime.
A letter appears to-day from a Hanoverian
officer, formerly Of the 22d German Infantry,
but among the military advisers of the
Beers, which says that nearly 10000 trained
European soldiers, including quite 300 officers,
are among the Beers. Referring to the military
situation at Ladysrnth, the officer says:
Owing TO the strength Of our position on a
circle Of heights, like Sedan be
brushed aside except by relief column out
numbering us two TO one.
Owing TO the discovery that cotton khaki is
insufficient protection for troops sleeping the
South African plains the Government is start
ing TO reciothe the forces in the field with wool
len khaki. and has already ordered $4,000 suits
IN Glasgow alone.
Canon Farmer who was forced to leave Pre-
toria with other British clergyrnen, has arrived
IN London. With reference TO Charles E. Ma
crum. the former United States Consul at Pre-
toria, he said
Mr.. Macrum was one of the last men saw
before leaving. I told him he taking the
wrong side, and did not understand American
feeling. His chief care seemed to be for his
personal safety. and I think 1t was chiefly on
that account that he left in the midst Of the
crisis He is not q strong man. and President
KRUGER may have taken advantage Of this. But
when last Mr.. Macrum he was a patriotic
and loyal American.
In regard TO Blake's so-called volunteers
they are, like Mr.. Blake, mostly burghers who
would have been obliged TO fight any way Mr.
Macrum told me there were 5000 Americans in
the TransVaal, most Of whom the United States
was glad TO get rid off,

toned for two years.
