Germany Puts Embargo on Further

Germany Puts Embargo on Further
shipments of krupp Guns.
Berlin. Jan. 15.-The announcement
that the German government has
called upon the KIupi,a liui 10 furnish
war materials To either of the belliger-
ents continues To be the most exclusive
topic OF discussion, overshadowing
every other political interest. Most adj
verse comment is evoked by the dubi-
Gus attitude of the krurps who in all
their public utterances showed off
their anti British sentiments. while at
the same time they contracted for de-
livery of guns and ammunition to the
British. This fact in itself is sufficient
to explain the open satisfaction with
which the step taken by the govern
snent is universally received in the en-
pire. Another reason1is the pretty gen
eral conviction that the governments
interference With the Krupps con-
tracts is intended as a reprisal for the
seizure of German ships--a reprisal the
more drastic as the German govern
ment has in taking this measure only
followed a principle laid down by the
British themselves.
Some papers suggested that the
IIrupps might prove sufficiently dis
| loyal as to continue their deliveries of
war material to Britain under the
icover of some assumed firm Bat this
suspicion IS probably unfounded, and

Paris, Jan. 15.-Those who had
doubted that France would profit by
the embarrassment of England in the
Transvaal are convinced of their error,
as the government has made itself felt
at two opposite points of the globe, In
saiah and San Domingo.
The occupation of 1nsalah marks a
new epoch in French-A African affairs
which was cleverly prepared by Minis

time when France most needs some

under the cover of science a Formidable
military expedition.
Before the war in the Transvaal the
raid of the French upon Insalah would
have been impossible, as England
would have raised the traditional OBJ
jections against melting the Morocco
ans by the presence. Now that it is q
fact accomplished, the English foreign
Office has not dared to raise a protesta-
tion. Morocco has been eaten into and
will be completely swallowed up BY
France, now that the way thru Insa-
lah is opened into Morocco from the
south.

One of Buffers Columns said to b,
Advancing--EiSht In Progress

London, Jan. 15.-The forty-eight
hours silence respecting Sir R+dvers
Buller's advance was broken by a
Central News bulletin yesterday noon
from Durham.
1t contained the brief statement that
Gen. Warren left Frere Camp on
Thursday with IA strong flying column
in co-operation With Can. Buffers
movement, and that it was reported
that the great battle had begun and
that fighting was proceeding at three
points
The direction taken by the flying col-
umn was not mentioned and experts
We're left at libsrty To balance the prob
abilities between eastern and western
turning movements With feint at
tacks at the opposite end.
One theory was that the occupation
of Potgieters Drift, seventeen miles
west of Colenso, was n feint TO conceal
the advance of a flying column through
Weenen to the Tugela river. about the
same distance east of Colenso on the
ILadysnith read.
The other theory was that the flying
column had taken the road from Frere
to Springfield and pushed on to the Tu-
gela at Potgietel's Drift. whence it
would advance TO Ladysmith after
turning the enemy,s position.
The eastward turning movement was
the one which the military experts had
l.been predicting for the last fortnight,
| because the country east of Colenso
was more favorable for the advance OF
a flying column than the hilly region
west Of Iadysrnith, but the fact that
| Gen. Butler WAS in Springfield on
| Thursday night. when the first an
nouncement of the occupation of the
south bank at Potgieter's Drift WAS tel
/ egraphed to london. seemed TO indicate
| that the flying column rad gone Vest
ward rather than eastward. since he
4 would not have been behind the feint
lattack, but in Il position to overlook the
main advance.
The correctness Of this Inference was
j disputed by some Of the keenest OBJ
servers, who remarked that the
/ lpromplness with which the seizure OF
the pont at Potgieter's Drift was an
nounced implied a deliberate purpose

emy bv magnifying the Importance ol

would have been the best possible eNpe
dent for accomplishing that object.
i The utility OF working the censorship
4 artiicially for misleading the enemy
1 well served at every turn by Dutel
1 spies, was an open question.

in progress at three points was to'
vague to have any significance. Th

Berry, of Arkansas, had read the res
olutions offered by Bacon, of Georgia,

represented the attitude of the opposing

the assertion that those who desired to

her very blood spilled as a qualification

Ambition. love of money, love of
power, disappointment, bad company,
unholy desires and loose conduct seem
