SAMUEL NJ. ROBERTSON.

Berlin, Dec. 2.-Mr Kriger has abandoned his

an official intimation that Emperor William re-
grets that, in consequence of previous arrange
ments, he will be unable to receive him. The

bourg, who arrived at Cologne to-day.
The Cologne Gazette" in an inspired COM
munique. says:
Mr. Krdger's visit is not agreeable to Ger
many, his aim being to obtain intervention in
South Africa 1t would be grave political mis-
take. fl wot-!5 be even gT9at- crime, to allow
him to entertain even a spark of hope that Ger
many will render him any practical support.
This declaration is accompanied with re-
proaches Mr.. KRUGER being charged with "hav-
ing encouraged useless guerilla warfare. and
having disregarded Germany's advice when he
might still have followed it,
The press generally strikes the same note

ing to the deputation Of Bonn students in the
afternoon, described the educational progress of
the Transvaal. thanked the students for their
kind welcome and shook hands with each.
Afterward he appeared upon the balcony,
where he was loudly cheered from below. Hav-
! ing rested for half an hour, he went into the
vestibule Of the hotel which was crowded with
visitors. Here, replying TO a deputation from
the Pan-German League. wishing him success
he referred to the close relationship between
the Beers and the Germans
1t is expected that Mr.. KRUGER will remain
here until Wednesday.
