The Figaro says: “King Charles proba- bly will lose his crown if he acquiesces to England’s proposal, even under menace.’ An interesting plece of diplomatic gos- sip is that the Portuguese Minister in London is a great friend of the Prince of Wales, and in order to please him prac- tically assured Lord Salisbury that Brit- ish troops would be permitted to pass through Lourenzo Marquez. But it Is add- ed that when the matter was brought to the attention of the home government repudiated the Minister's action. FAILURE OF BOERS TO CUT A RAILROAD| CAPE TOWN, Dec. 30.—The troops In the British camp of Victoria West turned out last night to repel an attempt of the Boers to cut the rallroad near the sta- tion. A patrol reported early in the even- ing that they had sighted the Boers In the neighborhood. At 10 o'clock at night the Boers opened a heavy fire near the tation. The British replied and the Boers retired at daybreak, thelr attempt having turned out a failure. P AMERICANS AMONG THE BRITISH TROOPS. NEW YORK. Dec. 30.—A special to the Sun from Frere Camp says: A great many Americans are serving here with the British mounted brigade. There are seventy-five in one command of 430. Brit. ish officers say they are excellent soldiers and that more of them would be welcome. The presence of Americans is regarded by the British officers as an indication of friendship between lhe two nations, ANGLOPKOBIA IN AUSTRIA. \'IEV!\A Dec.

While Great Britain feeds contentedly upon long speclal cables showing Ameri can friendship, the Boer agents in Lurope believe sentiment in the United States has been gradually turning Boerward un- til the time is now ripe to develop it into | malerial effect. Under this impression, the! Associated Press learns, they are contemplating dispatching & special mis- slon to the United States for the pur- pose of influencing public opinion, pos- sibly by open meetings and by personally assisting the efforts of those in Congress whom they believe friendly. Moreover, they consider it advisable to offset what they declare has been a systematic cam- paign by John Hays Hammond, the American engineer, who was a member of the Johannesburg Reform Committee, to influence Washington opinion. 1If the plans now under consideration are carried out the mission will include a very promi- nent Boer agent and a pro-Boer member of the British Parliament who intended to sall this week, but was prevented by what Is thought to be a temporary hitch in the arrangements. Thelr desire is to affiliate themselves with no particular party, but, influencing political and public opinion, to obtain at least an offer of mediation from the United States. A representative of the Associated Press has made careful inquiries, but failed to find any circumstances to warrant the belief that such an offer, however made, would receive the llllhlell consideration.

The correspondent of the Assoclated Press has just had an interesting interview with the Liberal leader, Dr. Barth, who Is one Britain and Americd, but who condemns | this war. Dr. Barth said: “‘At present it looks as if England might lose the whole of South Africa. 1 | have private information from Africa via Holland, according to which the rebellious movement among the Cape Boers has as- sumed much more serious proportions than the English newspapers admit.

What hap- pens in the Transvaal to-day on land may | happen to Germany. upon the sea to-mor- row. Distrust of Engiand makes it neces- sary for Germany to be so strong at sea before attacking Germany. If the Eng- lish statesmen of to-day were of the type o' lanterns as Mr. Chamberlain at the helm we don’t know what to expect and must arm for any eventuality.” The German press generally during the last few days has expressed the opinion that Great Britain will lose not oniy the war but also South Africa. A military writer in the Deutsche Tages Zeitung says; It Is no longer a question of whether England will subjugate the Boer repub- lics, but of whether she will lose Cape Colony. It is true England will retain the harbors, for they lie under the guns of English ships, but the entire interior she will lose, and instead of the dreamed-of enormous British South African empire England will keep only a number of ports. ‘This probably will be the issue of the war if England does not hurry up and con- clude peace.” From an excellent authority the corre- spondent of the Associated Press hears that Great Britain has {nstructed her Min- ister at The Hague, Sir Henry Howard, to sign the peace convention, with the res- ervation of article X, all the powers having consented to suc tion.
