IiONDON, Jan. 13 Interest in theTrans
Taal question in its imfnaiate bearings
lias revived to an appreciable exteut, while
the incidental straining of relations be
tween Great Britain and Gerriiany, which
o completely placed the Boers io the back
ground of the picture for a time; has in
Its turn receded, but , by no mean disap
peared. There is little apprehansiou of
war with Germany, over, the present com
plication &t lfeast, and ths. British public
lias a reassuring sense that if there is to
bo a war England is right yeivdy for it.
The prompt and efficient meaiure3 of the
naval authorities, and the forniklable show
of strength that is the result, j gives John
Bull a feeling of confidence, f. '
There are no further explicit announce
ments of a movement looking to an al
liance of the powers -agaia.it E.igland,
Nevertheless it is keenly parcivai by ; the
public that the sentiment displayel by the
German government has a farj wider bear
ing than the presant dispute ia tha Trans
vaal, and there are visions of future corn-
' plications on questions of conllicting in
terests. ":"'i -. I V '
Saturday's cabinet councils remains
largely a subject of speculation, and what

Mr. I William H. Mercer, private secre
tary to Colonial Secretary Cliambarlain, '
said last nig'-it to a rprjientabive of the

STATEMENT FROM CECIL
RHODES.
England Should Have Our Sympathy in
1 the Transvaal Dispute.
New York, Jan. 13. The World today
publishes the following dispatch from
Cecil J. Rhodes, under date of Capetown,
Jan. 12. y -11 : .'
"Th$ position is that within .the Trans
Taal there are 70,000 newcomers and an old
population of 14,000. A With the develop
ment of the gold industry to a fuller ex
tent the newcomers will amount to 5j0.030
in five! years, and, eventually lei a million.!
proDaury more, x rom , time t time the
position will be upset by tber attempts of
the new population to claim common civil
rights, which eventually they certainly
must get. Statesmanship should give them
some rights now, as the preseht state is
impossible for the newcomers who own
more than half the soil of the Transvaal,
and nine-tenths of the fvvealth of the coun--try.
The new males outnumber the old
five to i one, and ara composed; largely of
Americans, including the principal mine
managers. ':::" v.: ; '. ; " --
"England is the only great power in
South Africa. She is now threatened with
German interference, which she is bound to
resent and resist. In this she should have
America's sympathy. Bipod s- thicker

If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to ourkitch
eris." fn fact, the secret of good health
is good cooking, 'well cooked, foods,
ara partially digested ; if poorly look
ed they are less digestible than in their
raw state; If you are a victim of faulty
cooking ; that is, if you ; suffer from
Dyspc-psia, the rational cure must be
looked for in an artificially digested
food, and a food which will at the same
time aid the digestion of other foods.
Such a preparation virtually rests the
tired digestive organs, thereby restor
ing them to their natural strength. .
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared
by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is
'just such a preparation, and a single io
cent bottle will convince you of its val
ue. If your druggist doesn't keep it,
he will be glad to get it through hfs
his wholesale house. I

port made to Governor Carr says. the
strength ci the State Guard is 1,567.
It is composed of twenty-seven infan
try companies and three divisions of
naval reserves. The troops are bet
ter equipped fur service than ever be
ore. They have abundant clothing,
overcoats, blankets, camp "equipage,
and amunitfon, and can all be concen
trated at any point .on', a line of rail
way in thirty-six hours, armned, and
fully prepared tor at least six months'
service. Twice during this year, at
Bath and at Winston, the troops
aided the civil authorities in prevent
ing seriously threatened riots and
bloodshed
The Fusion Legislature haying
withdrawn the appropriation for an
annual encampment, none was held.
The Adjutant-General says it was
evidently hoped and believed that
the manifest hostility of the Legisla
ture ' would result in the speedy and
voluntary disbandment of the Guard
but the troops stood by their colors
and deserve lasting praise. Weekly
