BREAK IN THE CLOUDS
Eugland Hopes to Settle Di
rect With Venezuela.
DUE TO BRAZIL'S GOOD OFFICES
President Krnger Will TaKa Bxtreme
Measures Against Leaders of the
Uprising Several Americans
Under Arrest.
London, San. iS. It was learned this
afternoon that the cabinet council Sat
urday considered the question of re-establishing
diplomatic relations with
Venezuela, but no definite conclusion
was arrived at.
The Westminster Gazette this after
noon, touching upon the misunderstand
ing between Great Britain and the
United States, says it sees a distinct
break in the clouds, and hopes a settle
ment satisfactory to Great Britain and
the United States will be effected with
Venezuela direct, and intimates that the
Brazilian minister is closely identified
with the latest proposed solution of this
con troversy .
AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
It Shows That England Has Recognized
the Monroe Doctrine.
Washington, Jan. 13. Public opinion
in Great Britain has changed in the
most wonderful manner since the Mon
roe doctrine was first promulgated. An
unexpected discovery in the old files in
- the house of representatives has given to
the state department a valuable state
- paper, with which Lord Salisbury's claim
that the Monroe doctrine has never been
recognized by England, will be complete
ly upset.
In going over the old records Walter
E. French, the file clerk of the house,
discovered a collection of clippings from
English papers, all bearing on the mess
age of President Monroe, in which be
gave to the world the famous document
which bears his name. The message
was sent on the opening of congress, the
first Monday iu December, 1823. The
British papers without exception, com
mented on the message in the most fav
orable terms. France was then contem
plating conquest in South America and
Great Britain was prompt to seize on
the Monroe message as a notice to con
tinental nations that conquest in Amer
ica meant war with the United States.
Mr. French's discovery has been copied
and sent to Secretery Olney. Members
of the foreign affairs, committee say that
Mr. French's discovery ia the most im
portant made in the matter, as it pre
sents contemporary evidence of the fact,
which Great Britain has since forgotten,
that at the time President Monroe's
message was delivered it was accepted,
and even welcomed as sound doctrine by
the people of England. More than that,
the newspapers then distinctly pledged
Great Britain to aid in the enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine.
LEADERS REFUSE BAIL.
Others Under Arrest at Pretoria Have
Been Liberated.
London, Jan, 13. A dispatch to the
Pall Mall Gazette from Cape Town,
published today, says the latest advices
from Pretoria states that bail has been
refused the ringleaders of the recent dis
turbance at JohannesDurg, and other
people arrested for the same connection
have been liberated, each on $5,000 bail.
Tbe dispatch adds it is expected severe
measures will be taken against the lead
ers of the uprising, in spite of the fact
that it is apparent they were deceived
and taken by surprise by Dr. Jameson's
incursion.
Sir Hercules Bobinson, governor of
Cape Colony, it appears, rrfade every ef

control.
The new ministry for Cape Colony is
regarded as adevice to shield ex-Premier
Cecil Kholes and. Sir. Hercules Robin
Son. Rhodes, it is also said, is in very
bad health. .
Advices from Johannesburg say the
Uitlanders are expecting the Boers to
make a house-to-house search for arms,
and it is stated the Germans have been
holding meetings and passing resolutions
telling Emperor William to mind his
business.
Dr. Jamieson and his lieutenants, as
far as known, are still at Pretoria. The
Times says officials of the British South
Africa Company deny that Jameson was
deposed from the post of administrator
of their territory on the recommendation
of the company.

Pendleton Postmaster Held Up:
Pendleton, Or. Jan. 13. Postmaster
Johnson was held up by a masked rob
ber at 7 :15 o'clock tonight, and, at the
point of a revolver, compelled to hand
out about $600 of postal and money-ord
er funds. The robbery was eyidently
committed by n man who was well ac
quainted with the postoffice, its sur
roundings and the habits of the em
ployes. Postmaster Johnson'B story, of
the affair is as follows :
"At 7:15 o'clock, after my clerks had
gone home and when I was alone in the
office counting money, I heard a rap on
the office door and some one called out,
'Johnson, giye me my mail ; I am in an
awful hurry.' I opened the door and,
was confronted by a man, who, thrust
ing a revovler in my face, said : "I
want your money.' He compelled me to
walk to my desk, on which ah )ut $250
was stacked up. He made me take tbe
government money sack and put the
coin into it. 'That is all I have,' I said
Well, then, we will look in the safe,'
he responded. Telling me to hurry up,
he flourished the gun in my face and
made me empty the postal and money
order funds into the sack. When he was
satisfied there was no more money, he
said, 'I will go out the back door.' He
compelled me to lead the way and open
the door, I noticed his revolver was
pointed towards the ground, and I at
once seized it with my left hand and
grabed him with my right. : While we
were struggling the gun went off, and
the ball passed through my left hand. I
then trippled over a mail sack and he
ran out of the door."
Johnson describes the man as ot me'
dium height and built, and" about 150
pounds in weight. He wore a full black
beared, evidently false. Over his face
was a handkerchief, with eyeholes in it
His voice was peculiar and Johnson says
he would recognize him by bis manner
of talking. Tonight the sheriff and sev
eral posses are scouring the country for
the robber. Johnson's wound is not
serious, although very painful. The
ball passed through the fleshy part of
the hand. .
