HO LETTERS bl A CE THUBDaY
at Excitement In London flTer the
Disasters In the Transvaal.
TIB XAT1L AUTUORITiE DESOLXCED
. LosDOH.Dec 25-There is great com
motion in the War Office in consequence
of a rumor that the DubliQ mail-bag has
been intercepted by Fenians ou the way
to liOndon, and r.fl.d of its contents.
Whether there is 'any troth in the
rumor or not, it is certain that the War
Office authorities have received no letters
from Ireland since Thursday. .-.
The crisis in the Transvaal, coupled
with the crisis in Ireland, has raised the
excitement in London to an almost un
precedented pitch. Nothing else i3 talk
ed about in places of public resort, and
scrrcely anything else is thought about
by thoughtful people but the grave
troubles which beset the Government on
every side. The disaster in the Trans
vaal is almost universally ascribed to
official blundering, and the number of
those who ascribe the troubles in Ireland
to the sametcau9e ia by no means Bmall.
It is openly charged that the Natal au
thorities were long aware of a con tern
plated rising by the Dutch Boers, and
that they paid no heed to repeated warn
ings and took no precautions to protect
themselves. When the storm broke .it
is charged that they-were utterly unpre
pared to meet it, and the result, of
course, could be nothing else bat shame
ful defeat and disaster.-
The Home Government has decided, as
usual, when it is too late, to send mili
tary aid to the colonists of Natal. They
were asked to do this some time ago, but
the request was put aside until now.
The Sixth Dragoons, it is announced,
will be sent to Natal in a few days, with
instructions to report to the commandant
at Dur,ban. The dower of the army is
rapidly leaving England for the inhospit
able snores of Ireland and Africa.
A despatch from Durban says: "The
Boers fired on the detachment on the
Pretoria and LydeuUurg road under
cover of a flag of truce. At Potchef
stroom the greatest excitement prevails.
Four persons have been murdered."
The- Standard's correspondent at
Durban reports that the wagons of which
the detainment of the Niuety-fourth
Regiment was in charge got into a
swamp and all hands laid aside their
arms to extricate them. The Boers sud
denly appeared and demanded their sur
render. The soldiers rushed for their
arm3, but before they were able to de
fend themselves they were shot down.
The four persons reported to have
been murdered at Potshefstroora were a
Commandant of the Cape Mounted Po
lice and three civilians. They were bru
tally murdered in the midst of an assem
bly of 3,000 Boers.
CoBmoundouros, tho Greek Premier,
has had an interview with one of the
Greek Deputies in which he declared
that all reports that Greece was willing
to accept arbitration in her differences
with the Porte were entirely false.
The Government, he said, did not intend
to recede an iota from the favorable
position it gained at the Berlin Confer
ence. Premier Coumoundouros also
told if. de Mouy, the French Minister,
that he intends to refuse the proposal
for arbitration. r
M. Ti8sot, the French Ambassador,
nas imormea me irorte mat tne powers I
nave nccepieu me arouraiion proposal.
The council of Ministers have discussed
a circular to be-sent to the powers to
prevent them from requesting the Porte
to accept arbitration. Should the Porte
absolutely refuse arbitration, it is under
stood that England will propose a new
European conference, which Turkish and
Greek delegates will be invited to at
tend. When you visit or lr.ave .New York CItv,
