London, January al.-The publication
ing private car to take MIR. Webster
Davis from Laurence Marques to Pretoria
is causing considerable speculation here
as to whether Mr.. Davis. notwithstand-
ing the denials from Washington. has not
some sort of official mission.
1t Is thought rather singuiar that
simple traveller, even though IN official
at home, should receive 30 much atten-
ton. Tbs subjset is attracting the con-
tinental pa pc 9 which are inquiring
through the London representatives
whether the British government has In
foImation with regard to the object OF
Mr.. Davis.
They are reluctant to believe that one
of President NcKinley's assistant secre-
tariss would take o vacation In the
Transvaal and be given leave of absence
from his duties for several months with
ont some purpose.
A recent despatch from Washington
pointed out that Mr.. Davis had given up
his proposed visit to the Transvaal, ow-
ing TO the possibility that II might be
mis-interpreted.
