Diplomatic Relations Between the Two Powers May ,Be Suspended—Russia, France and Germany May Form an Alliance Against England. LONDON, Jan. 6.—-The colonial office has just received the following telegram, sent by Hon. Sir Walter Francis Holy- Hutchinson, K. C. M. G., to Mr. Cham- berlain, secretary of state for the colonies: “Press accounts state that on the even- a Known that the government officials gen- erally, and, it is reported, that even royalty denounce in unmeasured terms the Ger- man emperor’s “deliberately unfriendly act. ” and there are suggestions flying about regarding recalling the British em- bassador‘ to Germany, Sir Francis Las« cellos, from Berlin and making threaten- ing changes in the disposition of the dif‘ erent squadrons of the British fleet. Emperor William, it appears, first sent peremptory instructions to the German ambassador hero—Count von Hatfieldt- Wildenburg—to obtain an immediate ex. planation of the meaning of Dr. Jame- son's expedition, which, by the way, the British government had already repudi- ated. This having been explained to the German ambassador, the Marquis of Sal- isbury concluded that the matter had been settled, and he was disagreeably sur- prised when the news was received at the - foreign office that the emperor had sent a ing of Dec. 81 Dr. Jameson arrived in the ; vicinity of Krugersdorf. ing he attacked the Boers, who were in: trenched in a strongposition. The Boers numbered 1,600. Dr. pulsed, but tried to move by‘Randfcntein to Roodeport and was stopped at Dorln- ; _ On the afternoon of Jan. 2 heavy ; lic e foreign relations are to be entirely fig ting took place, and the state artillery- kc. came up. Dr. Jameson‘was outnumbered. and some of hismen were nearly starved. many of them‘having been without food for three days. Their horseswere exhaust- ed, and they were forced'to surrender. Dr. Jhmeson lost 80 men killed besides the wounded. It is estimated that the total loss will reach 240. The loss of the Boers 16 reported as four killed and a few wound- ed. It is claimed that 15 Boers war-eun- ‘ horsed by one volley fired by Dr. Jameson’s ~ men. ‘ ‘ No officers were killed." 'As no reference is made in this dispatch totherumored execution of Dr. Jameson, it is presumed that the report ”that he has. been placed in jail is, true. , England In a, Rage.‘ If any such proof was necessary, the events of. the past week have once more tended to establish beyond any doubt'the cold isolation’of' ,Great Britain in Europe and elsewhere. But the anti-British com-; ments of _ihe foreign press have been so bitter since the invasioa of the. Transvaal republic; by _ the. fliibusters under Dr. Jamesonwith orlwithout the knowledge th Africa company and the colonial aut criticathat thisfcature of- the situgtion has produced a decided sensation, which has culminated in an- outburst of indignation against Emperor William for sending his dispatch of con- gratulatios to President Kruger. ‘ The expressions of wrath are not con- fined to the newspapers or to the common talk” omeendon and.~ other “fig-‘- It. is The next morn- E dispatch of congratulation to President Kruger. But the most serious part of- the whole ' matter is that the diplomats attribute to Jameson was re» :: Emperor William a deliberate attempt to challenge the queen’s suzerainty in the Transvaal. The text of the treaty of Lon- don provides that the Transvaal repub- under the supervision of Great Britain, and for the sovereign of any other coun- try to address himself publicly to Presi- dent Kruger is. to put it mildly, a serious disregard of diplomatic form. The Startling Possibility. Therefore, as Emperor William is known to be a great stickier for all forms of dip< lomatio procedure, nobody doubts that his step was deliberately taken, and evidently after thoroughly discussing the matter with the imperial chancellor, Prince H0- hcnlohe. This having been admitted. there are people who are beginning to in- timate that a triple alliance between Rus- sia, France and Germany, previously hint- ed art. may, after all, be an accomplished fact to all intents and purposes, for it would hardly seem likely that Germany would care to risk an active dispute with Great Britain and a possible blockade of her coasts, when she could make but lit- tle retaliation, unless she was assured of the strongest kind or active support from other powers and in other parts of the world. All the batteries of the British‘press Ieem to be turned upon Germany, and 1 their fire is increasing in intensity as the ; action of the emperor becomes more clear- ly understood. At first it was put down to be nothing more than one of his famil- iar eccentricities, but there seems to be much more of cold deliberation than so. 3 icontricity about the young war lord’s dis~ patch to the president of the Transvaal republic. , , . The Standard. which. even more than L The Times, may'be regarded as directly representing the views of the British gov.- ernment, speaks very plainly on the sub- ject, and issues a warning to foreign na- tions in general, and to Germany in par- ticular, that Great Britain will tolerate no interference, and that, in spite of the threats of the German oflicial press to make things unpleasant for Great Britain at Washington, Constantinople and Peking, “We shall defend our own with all the means at our disposal, let our assailants be who they will or, as many as they will. ” This utterance upon the part of The Standard is a sum 1e of the remarks on the subject made y the British press, and coming from the source which it does there are clear indications that Great Brit- ain and Germahy have reached a state of extremely strained relations and one which may have further results unless the jingoes of both nations are curbed. The Boers’ Victory. The defeat of Dr. Jameson’s freeboot- are by the Boers has produced a feeling of great humiliation hers, and the great- est anxioty is felt regarding the fate of his companions, as they comprise among them‘ the younger sons of~some of the best known families in Great Britain. This feeling of humiliation adds to the? degree of anger felt against Germany and increases considerably the danger ex- isting in the situation. Then again the fact that so many distinguished young men were among the British Chartered company's troopers is another element which may cause further trouble, as their. families are certain to bring all the pres- sure they possibly can to bear upon the government in their efl‘o'rts to wipe out the humiliation inflicted upon all con? earned by the Boers. Among the persons who are behind the scenes the general view taken of the case is that Dr. Jameson’s defeat was , brought about because at the last mo wont be was left in the lurch by the ult- landers (foreign population) of Johannes: berg, who were to have risen and joined issue with him againstfihe Boers. It has been an open secret for weeks past that the Chartered company’s troops were preparing for some advance, and people who have recently seen President Kruger Cape Colony, say they have no doubt that Dr. Jameson received orders from the lat; ' ter;-that a grand coup was intended; that probably a new republic would have been established, and that in the brilliance of i the results the faults of "the leaders would have been forgotten. l The general opinion is that anyhow Mr. ‘ : Rhodes, who holds the post of Cape pre- ‘ mie’r solely by the Dutch vote, will to :a _ certainty lose it, and that, in spite of the , efforts of Assemblyman Hofimeier, the ;‘ Africander leader. who acts as the “sheep- : deg" of the _ Dutch party in the colony, they will not return him to parliament. ‘ and Mr. Cecil Rhodes, the premier of . rent towns and directions in this vicinity tently moving in the same direction as the Gomez is now in the vicinity of Havana ISOLATIHG HAVANA. [he Insurgent Forces Cleverly Forming II Circle Around the City. ' HAVANA, Jan. 6.—-The. insurgent forces which have beep operating at San Felipe have pushed on through Quivacan and have moved eastward on Gabriel and Sa- lud. burning all the fields as they passed « onward. Salad is westward of Havana, and a little further on is the last railroad line in that direction leading into Hava- ha. To reach Salud the insurgents have al- ready crossed two lines of railroad lead- ing into this city, and after crossing the third they will have extended the half moon format-ion of their forces about this city and .will have cut off communication by rail 'with the province of Pinar del Rio, and as they are EOW threatening to cut off communication with the province of Matanzas through the force :they are advancing from Tapaste‘ it looks as if Havana would soon be isolated. As” this dispatch is sent, however, communication between Havana and Jaruco is not known to have been cut off by the enemy. Jaru‘ so is the first town of importance outside of Havana going in the direction of Ma~ tanzas. Apparently the three insurgent columns have been divided up into small- er bodies in' order to further rapidity of movement. But this is only a supposition, based on the fact that the insurgents are heard from in about half a dozen differ— today. _ One of the insurgent columns has cross- ed the railroad at Batabano, the extreme southerly station, near the Gulf of Bate. bano and almost due south of Havana. This column is now at or about Pozo Re- don‘do, northward of Ba‘tabano, and appar- column of insurgents previously reported as heading forGuira Malena, which leads pee is to suppose that it is the rear guard of t at body. All the columns to the south of Havana appear to be circling north- ward and toward Pinar del Rio, with the object either of pushing into that prov- ince or of completing a circle around He. vane. Gomez Thirty Miles Away. Knit WEST, Jan. 6.-—Late advices from Cuba confirm the reports that General at the head of a wing of the insurgent army. He is now reported near Guinea, less than 80 miles from Havana, with 18,- 000 men. .

Jan. 6.——Fears for, the safety oi the missing Australian steamer Mic-were. are greatly intensified by the finding of a life buoy on Waddah island, just inside of Cape Flattery, bear- ' ing the may]: of the iiiiovvera, which had drifted in from the sea. Though careful search was made along the beach for other indications of wreck- age. nothing was found. A heavy storm and tremendous ocean surf prevented ef-’ fective search being made. A mile and a half below Cape Flattery, on the beach, the Indians found a boat-be- longing to the steamer Strathnevis. It was the boat in which Purser McDonald, Third Ufiicer Bela and three Japanese seamen left the steamer the night be- fore Christmas for Destruction island. The- boat had a large hole stove in her bottom and bore evidence of having had hard usage among the rocks. This dispels hope for the safety of the parser and his four mates. Had they land- ed on Destruction island, which is 20 miles below‘ Cape 'Flattery, they could easily have signaled messages to steamers that pass close to the island. - The Other Commission.
