L*.»rdon. Jan. 12.—Interest in the Trans
% aai question in its immediate ~>earings
has revivea to an appreciable extent,
w -ile the Incidental straining of relations
L*-'.*.>en Gr> at Britain and Germany,
which so completely placed the Boers in
the background of the picture for a time,
l n Its turn receded, but by r.o mtans
disappeared. There is little apprehension
of war with Germany, over the present
corr.j ation at least, and the Br;tish
put Ik has a reassuring senst that if
there is to be a war, England is right
ready for it. The prominent and efft ient
n-.ea.»'trt s of the naval authorities and the
fotmldaMe show of strengtn that is the
r suit, give John Bull a feeling of conti
d» nee.
There are no further explicit announce
ments of movements looking; to an alli
ance of the powers a* I nst to
day; ne. erLielea*. it keenly perceived
by the public that the sentiment displayed
by trie German government has a far
wider taring than the present dispute in
tii > Transvaal, and there are visions of
future oeapßcatloai on questions of con
fJi .ting in teres'*.
Yesterday'*
the colonial off
net council meetings at
remain largely a sub-
ject of speculation, and whatever deci
sions may have i>een taken are sedulous
ly guarded as state secret?, an 1 the great
est are taken to avoid publicity. Mr.
i'liarn i>. Mercer, private secretary to
• ' rnial Secretary Chamberlain, sail to
night to a representative of the Associ
ated Press, the secretary had no
further telegrams to communi ate to the
pt.hlie. The visit of the Prince of Wales
t) the colonial office on Saturday, he sai l.
Just when several directors of the Char
tered South African C impany were there,
was partly an accidental colnclience. His
rcyal highness calle!. he said, to show
his interest, and had made some kind
renrarks In recognition of Secretary
Chamberlain's la!>ors.
Th* explanation is hardly likely to sat
isfy the public, in \ iew of the related
staturents published that the director
ship of the Duke of Fife, husband of
Print-ess Louise of Wales, in the Char
tered South Afri-an Company, is a sub-
J« t of con-em to the royal family, es-
P» 'ially to the queen.
It is understood the diffl -ulty over th
manner of the disposal of Dr. Jameson'
followers was settled on Saturday. *ne
Transvaal government s::nply stipulating
that the rank and tile of the Jameson ex
pedition should l>e deportei from S.mth
Africa. According to the Transvual law,
the punishment for treason is banishment
and a large fine. It is not believed here that
President Krueger has demanded the ab
r< gat on of the London convention, w hich
provides for the suzerainty of Great Prltain
over the Transvaal, as the price of sparing
Dr. Jameson's life.
A dispatch received from sources sym
pathetic with the Transvaal government, in
Johannesburg tonight, asserts that the plot
for Jameson's raid and the coincident up
ris'ng of the l'!tland« rs was the most
shameful in history. The Mack, st part of
the plot, the dispatch asserts, was the in
tention of the agents of the Chartered
South Africa Company to set loose the
savages to invade the Transvaal from til
i ints and to kill every white man. It had

and the Prince of" Wales.
London. Jan. 13 —The Berlin correspond
ent of the T.mes says: The publicity given
to the exchange of letters between tho
q-jfm ar-i the em, * ror is very unwelcome
here. It is regarded as an indiscreet at
tt nrspt to m ike pol ucal capital out of the
family relations of the two courts. The
substance of the letters can only be a mat
ter of surmise. The contents of the em
peror s letter may he inferred from the
very conciliatory and reassuring words he
addressed to the foreign repn sentat.ves
here on the occasion of the funeral of
Prince Alexander of Pruss a. when he
pha*izeil the unabated friendliness of the
English and German governments.
However, it -s too early to Indulge in
optimism*. President Krueger's attitude
may >c a better test of Germany's real at
titude than professions of amity. If Presi
dent Krutger proves obdurate it will be
difficult to resist the oonjlus.on that he ha*
been allowed to count upon Germany's
support. It must not be forgotten that be
f.ne I>r. Jameson's coup, the organ of tne
German foreign ofhce urge! President
Krut -g r to ignore the manifesto of the
National Union of Johannesburg. Dr.
Jameson's ill-starred enterprise s.mp'y gave
Germany an opportunity to shift her
ground to a j iuus.tdr condemnation of a
breach of international law.
A dispatch to the T:m*-s from Vicnn#
says that the Ckrman National Association*
of Austria has tel-graphed congratulations
to Pre-«l lent Krueger.
An editorial in the Times says: "There
is far too great a disposition in some
quarters to assume that the Tranvaal iil
fieulty is ended. It can only be truly sai 1
tnat immediate dancer of bloodshed h.«i
been averted. But all the evils and ter
rors which made a disturbance in the
Transvaal, with or without Dr. Jameson,
merely a question of time, still remain
unsettled. While President Krueger Is
releasing Dr. Jameson's men with one
hand, w.th the other he is throwing into
prison the heads of all the Engl.sh enter
prises in Johanr esburg. He cannot be al
lowed to transfer the charges of tr> ason
from armed invaders to the heads of a
population which never asked anything
but a fair share of political rights, anl as
he could have prevented Dr. Jameson's
raid by giving what his preparations prove
he knew, he does not come to court w;th
clean hands. Whether as against Dr.
Jameson or against the Johanneshurgers,
we shouli a lv.se all concerned to h» ar
Hon. Cecil Rhodes before deciding upon
tho somewhat obscure and complicated
transactions."
The Standard says: "We are enabled to
state that President Krueger has not de
manded any changes in treaty stipulat.ons.
If such were demanded, England would
resist. We are authorized to declare that
the emperor's telegram to President Krue
ger was at most an expression of a feel
ing of momentary irritation, which has
now passed away, leaving the relations
between Oe-many an-* England as friend
ly as heretofore."
The Stan lard. It shoull be rcmemhered,
star. Is nearer to the present government
than any other newspaper in England. A
dispatch to the Standard from Berlin
says:
"It Is rumored that the Empress Fred -
rick has written to Queen Victoria and
the Prince of Wales explaining the em
peror's policv. with the assurance that
he had not the slightest intention to dark
. n the evening of the queen's life by an
Anglo-German war."

Johannesburg, Jan. 11.—The passport re
strictions which were imposed during the
crisis have been removed and further com
manderins has been stopped. But the
burghers are already under arms, and have
been ordered to remain in th* vicinity of ,
Johannesburg. Dr. Jameson and his offi

arrived. The high court has placed an In
junction upon all the bank balances and
other property belonging to those arrested
for complicity in the revolution. Mr.

Hut in that same heart there is a well of

reason.n* power and executive a: !i:v,
which, no matter what color, we mu.<;
; respect. To the negroes he is a verisable
I god of war.
"Antonio stand* at least S feet 5

Around h.s mouth frequently lurk* a sra it*
which seems to suggest the knowledge of
a good joke. wa:t'ng only for .in opportune
moment to be launched. And now 1 must
tell you of one which he perpetrated on
the enemy shortly vefore we commenced
our westward mar?h,
j "It was in October r.car Holjruin. The
I Srar.ifh jv-vorrmft, you know, fear* Ma-
J ceo. anl to encourage its soldiers has
many t me? reported him lead or seriouslv
I wounded. According to 'official* reports
Holoff .l:ed of dysentery. Gome* sold out,
and Mareo was several times shot to death.

don't to bother him in the least.
"Well, another story of his leath had
just reached us. and Maceo read it. W in
t smile o"i h.s fa e, he remark- d: "How
badly thev want me under ground. 1 th.nk
I will have to accommodate them." Then,
a moment. he continual, '1 .f
they'd d;c me up and put my h«-ad on exhi
b.tJon? We'll see."
"Soon after this a party of twenty of n*
wtre reoonnoStering in the vicinity of Hol
guin. Suddenly we came on a mounted de
tachment of about ->:\ty men, green troops
j;ist over from Spain. Hut they were led
bv a brave officer, and for a few minnt s
aft r our attack leave us quite a lively tus
sle, Ma "co lashed his horse into the th -k
--est of the scrap. His long arms swinging
| a machete over his chanter's head did
wonderful execution. A head or someth ng
i cropped at every sweep of the . la-ie. Tie
of us- wi 11, we w. re there, anywi",
■ ami the 3 aniard» soon got enough. it
'sas. I Think. t'»e«r first e\> rience in that
I kind of a fight, and after losing over a
' third cf tl'.» ir num -r, they turned and
j made for town on a cjuailrupie quick.
• Hut before the last man had ieft, Ma
i ceo suddenly reeled and fell from his
horse. We were at h;s s.de in a moment,
but as we rased him up his face was eov-
ered with Mood. He had wiped It off his
own machete. But the retreating Span
iards saw it and neutralized the story of
the.r defeat by announcing 'bat Ma eo was
dead or fatally wounded. To corroborate
tho report a messenger was sent near the
outsk.rts of the town making inquiries for
a doctor.
"That night we dug a grave four feet
deep near the spot where Maceo was seen
to fall. The owner tock a sreat Interest tn
the work. When we had completed 'ho
task we lower* >1 into the grave, not a body,
but, wrapped in an old shirt, about twenty
pounds of dynamite, t i>on top of this wo
i led small boulders and filled up the hole,
first connecting our dummy by insulated
w ire, burled a few inches below ttv surface,
with a small battery brought from tho
camp, and hid in the thick woods close ' y.
Here, concealed from view, we awaited de
velopments.
"Next morning a detachment of tho
enemy came to bury their dead. They were
followed from town by a rabble anxious to
learn if Maceo had really be»n killed. Sure
enough, there was the fresh an 1 carefudy
made grave, and over it a rude cross benr
in« the letters A. M.' You should have
seen tho rush and avidity with which the
cross was torn out, the grave dug open,
and the work of thrt wing up the bouldirs
commenced. At last they came in sight of
the shirt. A cry of exultation went ip.
lalte a lot of hungry jackals they crowded
around to g*t a piece or a aignt of the fal
len warrior.
"But at this moment Maceo gave the
word, the button was pressed, and there
wasn't enough left aiive to bury the dead
of the day before.
"Hut there. I tiM not mean to write a
word of war. I f»ar I am a confirmed sin

Appeal by the Union or the

Snohomish, Jan 8.-At a meeting of the
Pastors' Union. It wm moved and car
rle<l that the enclosed resolution be sent
to the Post-Intelligencer for publication:
"To the Monorahi Senators and *'on
gressmen representing the State of Wash

Slates—Gentlemen The Pastors' Union
of the city of Snohomish, comprising the
resident pastors of the evangelical

you as our national representatives and
urge upon you to ass st In your respective
bodies the passage of such wise legisla
tion as shall relieve th- terrible evils to
which W« i all your attention, vis:
• ■p ir? , t _xo extend such relief to the Ar

wisdom of congress nay d- vise. And to
that end we submit that the massacre of
guiltless thourands, the outrav'inff of help
less won * n. the selling Into the slavery
of the harems of inncent the wan
ton destruction of homes and the necessi
ties of life of vast multitudes cannot find
a parallel short of the rinrkest days of
the middle ages. And that such things
are possible in closing years of the
nineteenth century is a dbrrace and an
insult to that whl.-h we term a <"*hrl«tlan
civilization. And for the urea? power* of
Europe and America to stand apathetic
and indifferent while su-h s-enes are be
ing enacted Is nothing short of a crime
against humanity.
"Let the great governments unite for its
suppression, and if diplomatic methods
cannot aia l, then invoke arbitra.m-at of
force.
"Second—We ask that congress Insist
that the e*«»cottve protect our American

MIIS that ihe onl> question In dispute t*
wJut.'n-r the ten marine i».igu>-s lroni ti\»

the adjacent islands. Mr. l»avis aaya this
does not even present a ca>> tor arbitra
tion, K'cause it is manifest!} plain that
thv shore of the mainland ot the contltK.it
is the basis of the true line. It Is also
evident fr<.m ;he selection of the mount
ain ratiK*' as a line that the men who drew
t?- •* boundary agreement naaut that the
Ifne should l>e ten leagues from the ocean
where it touched the mainland, lalands,
he says, alwavs go with the shore, and
when a question arises as to whether an
is,.»nd, no matter at what tunc settled < r

t»ih>*r, it KO) s aiways to the coin.try o»n«

eriy of liusaia be-'aus<- ltussia owned the
mainland of the sli<*re. and K\ aim tiit*
property <>f th« United Sstaiea when Alask*
was soid to this country.
The desire of tlttat Hritaln for n portion
of the Alaskan cottsi i» piainlj apparent.
deciar < Senator Pavls. wh».;i it is consid
ered that then> is a vast country In tlut
Northw<st •• rritory which can reach tho
- tl». ml orny through a pass In the North
Ko. k> mountains and thence across the
strip of lnT,ii owned by the United States.
Kast of the Hot ky mountains and east of
the Alaskan coast is a country of almost
Inestimable extent. known as the Peace
river country. There may be 100,000,000
acres of tillable or pasture lands there. It
ha- the benefit of the warm air current
from the Pacific, which makes It a milder
climate than in those parts of the North
western territory still further east. It is
desired by «ireat Britaiti to open this great
wheat and stock producing country, and.
as a short route to the sea, a branch of the
Canadian Pacific railroad could be built
through this Peace river region and by a
pass through the mountains reach the scm
coast without much trouble and by a much
shorter haul than I y railroads further
south. This would give the Canadian Pa
cific another Western terminus, would
build up a British city right upon the flank
of the Alaskan poss ssioiis of the United
States; there would be another great na
val station and a military post romm#nd«
lnjr our Alaskan territory, and the prwtee
ti !i which the Alaskan coast now gives to
this ■ ountry would be largely nullified.
The object of Great Britain is quits
plain. Upon the tcrtat fertile lands to be
opened by building a mad to the coas*
through the P. ace river region ther4
would be vast riehls of cereals tompetlnf
with the grains raised In our states alonf
our northern border. At present thea«
fields cannot bo opened nor the lands de
veloped because of the long rail haul »o
the terminus of the Canadian Pacific road.
Without another terminus in Alaska thes*
great fields cannot be opened without the
consent of the United States. Jiut Senator
Davis does riot think this movement will
ever seriously concern the question of ar
i bitrating the Alaskan boundary.
