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.

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.

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.

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. .
