A SLAP AT ENGLAND
Germany More Aggressive
Over African Affairs.
THE EMPEROR'S DECLARATION
Italians In Abyssinia Compelled to Re
treat by King MenellK'a Forces
. Portuguese Victorious In
Mozambique.
Berlin, Jan. 7. At a special audience
which Dr. W. J. Leyds, secretary of
state of Transvaal, had with Emperor
William today, his majesty declared he
would not recognize any claim of suzer
ainty over the Transvaal. Great Britain,
by the treaty of 1844 claims suzerainty
over the Transvaal republic.
PREPARING FOB WAR.
England Said to Be Taking; Energetle
Measures.
London, Jan. 7. The Globe this even
ing prints sensational news under the
following scare headlines :
"Activity in war office Anticipated
Military Measures," The Globe then
states the war office sent a special mili
tary messenger this afternoon to the
colonial office, stating it is rumored im
portant orders are pending.
A dispatch f aom the military camp at
Aldershot says a general belief, almost
backed by proof, prevails that the au
thorities are considering the mobilizing
'of the army reserves and part of the
militia. Men employed in the ordinance
stores are very busy.
geml-Officlal Denial.
Bjebein, Jan. 7. A semi-official denial
was issued this morning of the state
ment from Cape Town, contained in a
dispatch to the Times of London, that
Dr. W. J. Leyds, secretary of state for
the Transvaal, with a secret fund at his
disposal, has floated a German military
colonization company with the intention
of introducing 5000 German military
settlers into the Transvaal.
Suspected of Spying.
Johannesburg, Jan. 7. (Delayed -in
transmission) Mr. Letty, the corre
spondent of Keuter'a Telegram Company
here, has been imprisoned qeon suspic
ion of being a spy in the interests of the
British Chartered South Africa Com
pany. IN THE TRANSVAAL.
South African Affairs Btill Occupy Eng
land's Entire Attention.
New Xoek, Jan. 7. A dispatch to the
World from London says :
South Africa so completely occupies
the attention of the English that the
controversy with the United States is,
for the day at least, forgotten. It comes
up again in its serious form of three
weeks ago, it will be because Lord Salis
bury is too stubborn to learn the lesson
of the German emperor's message.
That the kaiser's telegram to the pre
sident of the Transvaal means avowed
hostility to England is universally ac
cepted. He flouts at Great Britain suz
eranity over the Transvaal. To surren
der that claim would be the most shame
ful surrender in England's history for
two centuries. The prospect of it is
universally rejected by the English
press, tory end liberal alike.
But while that vital question remains
unsettled, war with Germany is con
stantly menaced. Nor is the session of
the South African colonies made less
threatening by the unexpected resigna
tion, without full explanation, of Cecil
Rhodes, as premier of Cape Colony.
Rhodes only ' makes way as premier to a
tried and loyal lieutenant. His silence
and inaction while another lieutenant is
in mortal peril in the Transvaal remains
unexplained. If he has absolutely sur
rendered, it must mean that he has lost
his nerve if not his faculties. The con
viction that this is nqt the case is still
felt in London, and the dispatches are
not believed to tell the real truth of the
situation. In fany event, the complete
isolation of England, of which there
seems no possibility of improvement in
the immediate future, makes it quite in
credible that she will pursue her quarrel
with the United States while the threat
ening attitude of Germany, of Russia
and of France is main tanied.
ITALIANS IN ABYSSINIA.
They Htre Been Compelled to Retreat
by King Menellk's Forces.
New Yokk, Jan. 7. A dispatch to
the Herald from St. Petersburg says : "
A dispatch from Massowah says that
the Italians have retired from Adowt to
Adkrgrath, and were harrassed en route
by the Abyesinians. In an interview M.
Leontieff said that the Italians were in a
very difficult position. He thinks that
the report that the Abyesinians want
food is not true. King Menelik collects
a percentage of the corn grown, which
be sells in time of peace, but has not
sold for three years, having hoared it for
this war.
Retreat will make an immense differ
ence in the attitude of doubtful tribes.
As for King Cojam being an enemy of
King Menelik, that is untrue. M. Leon
tieffs says.v The Italians have now re
treated 300 kilometers, and it will take
100,000 men to beat the Abyesinians.
The opinion here is that the Abyssinian
question is going to assume grave pro
portions.
Their Position Desperate.
New York, Jan, 7. A dispatch to the
World from Berlin says: i
"Serious rumors are in circulation
regarding the situation of Italians in
Erythrea. Their position is said to be
almost desperate.
"It is learned that the tension between
England and Italy regarding the refusal
of the former power to allow the latter
to disembark troops at Zelley has be
come very serious.',
A Portuguese Victory.
New Yokk, San. 7. A Washington
dispatch says word has been received
at Lisbon of the capture of Gungunhana,
the rebel chieftain who has been mak
ing war on the Portuguese in Mozambi
que, South Africa. The Portuguese met
the rebels near Maisaoa, and, after a
desperate conflict, put them to fight.
Gungunhana was captured and is now
aboard the troopship Alfrico, on the way
to Portuguese.
News Confirmed:
Washington, Jan. 7, Acting Portu
guese minister, Senor Taveira, has re
ceived a cablegram announcing the cap
tnre of Gungunhana and his son. Guidi
do, by Captain Muchino. The news of
the capture of the leaders of the rebell
in Mozambique caused the greatest en
thusiasm at Lisbon, and it is considered
in Portugal that the capture means the
termination of the rebellion.
