to: VOL. IX THE DALLES, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1896 NO. 2 WARCLOUD LESS DARK England and Germany Will Probably Not Fight. WILLIAM IS STILL UNPOPULAR REPORTED BURNED IN EFFIGY This Rumor Was Later Bald to Be Without Foundation Russia and France Side With Germany. London, Jan. 9. The chances of war between Great Britain and Germany are looked upon today as remote, there be ing a decided tone of back down in the utterances of the German press toward Great Britain. The Pall Mall Gazette says : "Steps were taken in the highest quarters to ob tain by family influence a full explana tion from Emperor William, and the communications which passed have done more than anything to bring about a change of tone .in the German official press toward Great Britain. German newspapers, official, semi-official and hostile, are tumbling over one another in their anxiety, to explan that the ten sion of relations was the fault of Eng land." The receipt of a dispatch from Pretor ia, announcing tbe extreme demands of the South African republic for the sur render of all British rights and suzer ainty, etc., over Transvaal and Delagoa bay, however, has again changed tbe complexion of affairs. Meantime there is little or no abatement of the anti-German feeling here. At a meeting ot the London radical federation here today a resolution was passed demanding the re moval of Emperor William from the British army and navy liste. A baseless report that the officers of the First Dragoons, in garrison at Dub lin, of which Emperor William was made honorary colonel by Queen Victor ia, had burned his majesty in effigy, was received with cheering. The colonel of the First Dragoons this afternoon tele graphed that there is no ground for this story. It is said that before the receipt of this official denial the German am bassador, Count von Hatzfeldt Wilden burg, made representations on the sub ject to the Marquis of Salisbury, asking to be informed as to the truth of the re port. At the foreign office this afternoon the dispatch saying that the Boers demand ed the banishment of Mr. Rhodes from Africa and the abandonment of the rights of Great Britain regarding the Transvaal and Delagoa bay were discred ited on the grounds that Sir Hercules Robinson, governor of Cape Colony, in his dispatches to the colonial office made no mention of any such demands or in tentions. NO TRUTH IN IT. Cecil Rhodes Not Furthering: Ells Own Scheme In South America. New York, Jan. 9. In .reply to a cablegram of inquiry as to the stories sent from London that Cecil Rhodes, until lately premier of Cape Colony, had started, or was about to start a move ment for the organization of a vast inde pendent republic in South Africa, the World has received the following cable gram from Cape Town. "No truth in the report of the action attributed to Mr. Rhodes." The dispatches have already told of Mr. Rhodes' resignation as premier, but the office is filled by one of his lieuten ants, and London continues to gossip abont Mr. Rhodes' dictatorial attitude and the possibilities of his making use of it to separate South Africa from the British empire. Uphold Their Emperor Berlin, Jan. 9. The reichstag reas sembled today and proceeded to discuss the bourse reform bill. Count von Kan itz, the agrarian leader, in remarks on the subject, referred to the Transvaal dispute, saying the recent energetic at titude of the imperial government in de fense of the interests of the German p3ople and German empire abroad met with universal approval. The remark was greeted with loud applause. Russia Backs Germany. London, Jan. 6. A special dispatch from Berlin this afternoon says Russian co-operation with Germany in the Trans vaal matter has been assured, and France will act with Russia. This apparently tends to confirm the report of an anti British alliance, and that the action o' Emperor William towards the Boer re public was a thoroughly weighed step. How's This.
