cannot he expectod to greatly prolong
eucli arduous dofunso. In some (junrturs
it is oonsidorod unaccountable that
Bullor did not press n passage of thu
Tugolii while tho lloors were engaged
northwards, and comments on his ap
parent supiuenuMB uro nowiso compli
mentary. From Dour headquarters it Is reported
that Bullor is constructing a subsidiary
railroad from tho main lino to Colonso
westwardly in tho direction of Potgeotor's
drift. AdvlcHS from Moddor river say
tho Hours continue to extend thoir works
and it is estimated 110,000 men were re
quired todofuud thorn.

Washington saye : ThoTransvoal gov
ernment has informed tho United Stutea
that W. Stanley IIollls, American consul
at Pretoria, will not ho permitted to re

it being against tho Transvaal's policy
to permit any British representative in

FRANCE GOT
HER MONEY
State Department Has Noticed What an
Easy Thing France Has, and, as
the Island is Indebted to This
Government. Ssrne Methods Will
Be Employed to Collect the Ac
counts. New Yoek, Jan. 9. A special to the
Herald from Washington says : Besides
the payment of tho money remaining
duo in the Boisrnare-Caccareli claim, the
French government has demanded an
apology from Santo Domingo. An official
dispatch to this effect was received by
Secretary Hay from the American re
presentative from Santo Domingo.
The authorities have been adviEed that
the money required to pay tho French
claimB 1 as been collected by popular
subscription, and the only remaining
question to be settled is that connected
with the demand for apology. The
Dominican government has not appealed
to the United StateB to interfere, and
there is no disposition on tho part of
this government to do so. It ia expected
that the Jimenes government will have
to comply with the French demand, and
that the incident will be settled in a
few days.
The prospective prompt settlement of
the Fieneh claims has called the at
tention of the authorities to the desira
bility ot seeming action in American
matters. Minister Powell will receive
iu a few duvs instructions to vigorously
press the Dominican governmpnt for the
payment of the remaining installments
due in the McKay claim, and witli the
Miiehias in the harbor the representation
may be effective.
