London, Jan. l6.-J. y. Robinson. the
South African millionaire, In signed
article in the Daily News this morning
relates conversations he has had with
President Kruger and descr ) several
Interviews In which the jameson raid
was talked ever. On one OF these occa-
slons President Kruger said.
do you mean TO tell me that you do
not know that the men who organized
and engineered the raid organized It for
their own bepehl2 They had decided
how they would divide the Transyaal
and how each OF the parties was to have
certain interests In this country.
Many reformers who were put In
jail were perfectly innocent. They were
Ignorant OF the schemes Of the men In
the inner circle. There were only twelve
men In that inner circle and they were
20 divide the Transyaal among them
selves.
They and their companies found the
money for the raid. Do you think We
are so innocent not 10 know that
Rhodes. metaphorlcally speaking, held
a pistol at the heads OF certain men In
England and said TO them II you do
not support me, ! shall denounce you
and your completely In the rsld?"
At this stage, according TO Mr.. Robin
son. President Kruger became more ex-
cited and shouted so loudly that people
In the street stopped to listen TO the
conversation. Mr.. Kruger then said:
And now you are demonstrating with
me about armlng. II is true am arm
ing, and 1t Is because | sec clearly that
| must defend my country"
To this Mr. Robinson replied; "The
British public Is aroused. If any at
tempt were made again TO enter this
country there would be q great cutlery
In England and the imperial authorities
would take steps to punish the organ
lzers and TO prevent such free-bootlng
expeditions"
President Kruger approached Mr..
Robinson, placed hand on his
shoulder, made a violent effort to sup
press HIS excitement. and said: you
mean well, but ] have lost all conf
dence. What has happened would take
place again and / am determined TO
guard against It,"
Later Mr.. Kruger said: What Is TO
prevent Rhodes and his coadjutors
again engineering some dlabolical at
tempt against the independence Of my
country"
Mr.. Robinson proposes to publish
book giving The True History Of the
jameson Raid"

alleged. he had refused to keep open the

had volunteered for service In South

The Birmingham Mail, the organ Of

the government Is defeated in parlia-
ment on the question OF the war, the
cabinet Will Immediately appeal to the

clded TO stand together and not to per-

The parade was reviewed by Sem
ators Hanna, Mason and Cullom,

Thrilling Experience. of a Circus Rider at
New Decatur.
A scene that was not down on the
programme was enacted at John Rob-
inson's circus at New Decatur, Ala,
Saturday night. On the hippodrome
track ladies' horse race was in prog
ress, in which three riders took part.
They had been once around and were
coming in on the home streatch and
Just as they made the last turn, be-
fore reaching the judges stand, the
inside horse fell and rolled over
on it's rider.
The horse soon regained its feet,
however, and being badly frightened,
made mad rush toward the crowded
seats, dragging its rider, whose skirts
became fastened to the saddle, with
her head downward. The rider was
carried to her dressing-room in an
condition. 1t was found
that she was badly bruised up.

fcient depth and width to admit of
passage of sea-going vessels, and also
to provide and maintain a depth OF

TIE CUBAN OUTLOOK.
Congress Must Act Before Uncle Sam
Vacates the Island.

Congress Must Act Before Uncle Sam
Vacates the Island.
The evacuation of Cuba by the
United States is not likely to take
place quite so soon as has been an
ticipated in some quarters, says a
Washington dispatch. The with
drawal of the American troops will
not take place until some form Of
domestic government has been estab-
lished, and is not likely to be ordered
by the executive department of the
government without the authority Of
congress.
The Cuban convention, which
meets in November, is likely to be
in session several months, probably
much longer than after the adjourn
ment Of the coming session Of con-
gress on March 4, 1901.
The new congress to be elected on
November 6 next will not meet IN
regular session until December, 1901,
and will hardly do any important
business until the spring Of 1902. BY
that time representatives Of the new
Cuban republic may be ready to de-
monstrate to the appropriate COM
mittees of congress that they have
the government completely organized
and capable of maintaining treaty OBJ
legations with other powers. Such
government can hardly exercise its
functions until authorized by con-
gress. Whether it shall be permitted
to exercise them without the super
vision of the United States will be
for congress to determine.

POLITICAL DEMONS RAT|ON
New York Gives Mr.. Bryan Another
Great Ovation.
BIC REPUBLICAN, PARADE IN CHICAGO
Climax of the Campaign in the West
ern Metropolis Reviewed by Re-
publican Leaders, Followed
by Democrats at Night.

A New York York dispatch says:
W. J. Bryan's second coming to this
city was the occasion Saturday night
of one Of the greatest political demon
strations of the campaign. Fourteen
thousand people heard the democratic
candidate speak at Madison Square
garden. He had been speaking all
day. The morning was spent atNew
Haven, and in the afternoon he made
several addresses between New Ha-
ven and this city. He was accom-
panied to this city by 200 Yale stu
dents. When he arrived at Grand
Central station, there were more than
5000 to greet him. The steps were
crowded with people, and his trip
to Madison Square garden was tri-
umphal one. The first stop was at
the Broadway Athletic club, where
Mr.. Bryan spoke to 10000 enthusiast
tic people; the majority of them
were Italians. He reached Cooper
Union ct o'clock and addressed a
large gathering of Germans. Thence
Mr.. Bryan drove to the corner of
Fourteenth street and Second avenue,
where he made speech from his car
riage to crowd of about ), 600 peo-
pie. He made another from his car
riage to a gathering at Twentieth
street and Second avenue.
Mr.. Bryan's Madison Garden speech
was not begun until after 10 o. clock.
1t was unlike his former speech at
that place. 1t was addressed to the
independent class mainly, and he re-
ferred to the financial issue.

INCREASE OF THE NAVY
Vaster Programme Than Ever Before
Conceived Under Consideration
BY THE BOARD OF NAVAL CONSTRUCTION
Project Involves Construction of Not
Fewer Than Forty War
Vessels, Including Six
ofHeavy Type.

A vaster programme for an increase
of the navy than has ever before been
contemplated on this side of the At
lantic is now under consideration by
the Board of Construction, says a
Washington dispatch, and if ap-
proved by the president, as it is ex-
pected to be, it is to be urged upon
congress at the coming session.
The project involves the construc-
tion Of no less than forty warships,
including several specialities not
heretofore built for naval purposes.
The Board of Rear Admirals, which
has taken up the subject under spe-
cial direction from Secretary Long,
is availing itself of the highest expert
opinions in the service in order that
it's report will not be open to unfav-
orable criticism among naval officers,
it being the expressed intention Of
the navy department to discourage
any opposition to line of policy
when once adopted.
The program will include six ships
of the heaviest armor and most de-
structive ordinance, with the highest
possible speed, the greatest attaina-
BILE radius Of action upon displace-
ment of about Is, 900 tons, combin-
ing the most desirable features of
e-of-battle ships and cruisers.
At least twenty gunboats are pro-
posed of several types, all OF light
draft, with large rapid-fire batteries
and accommodations to give comfort
to officers and crews stationed in the
tropics. All OF these gunboats will
be able to 60 out to Manila, and then,
if necessary, to China interior ports
under their own steam.
Provision is made in the pro-
gramme for an increase in the torpe-
do fotilla by ten new vessels, includ-
ing a new type Of torpedo cruiser on
the lines Of existing torpedo boat des-
troyers, which can accompany feet
of battle-ships across the ocean.
The programme will also include
three armed GOLFERS, larger than any
vessels of this class ever built for a
government. They are to have enor-
nous capacity, enabling each OF them
to deliver 10000 tons of coal to Ma
Mia, Guam or Pago Page. A large
unarmed ship which is recommended
is floating machine shop OF about
5000 displacement for duty in re-
pairing vessels at great distances
from government yards, especially in
the Philippines.
