Tuesday , Jan. 1C ( Via Louremo : Maiquc !
Trldaj , Jan. in , Aftemoon ) It hecam
known today that 300 English had cits d
the pont drift o\or the Great Tugela an
were on the federal side. A display In fore
had rcon unado toward Colpuso and auathe
northward toward Oliver's Iloock bridgf
which WHH blown up by us a few days age
Toward fi o'clock the alarm was given tha
the English wore coming. The lookouts oh
1 served long puccesslve lines of infantr
j moving donn to the now Ilrltlsh position ,
I bush-covered chain of hl'ls known na SwaiU
] kop. Their forces weio sometimes lost 1
the trees studding the liver bank.
At ( i o'clock they emerged In open ordc
and advanced In two lines to the low kopje
on the river bank. At C 30 they took up
position amid complete silence on the Hoc
side , their horses tethered where there wa
the least danger from chance shells , and tb
men prepared to make a night of It at thcl
posts. Night had fallen. With th - gloji
came ntful flashes ot lightning from th
thunderclouds which had been threatcnln
I all day The clouds eventually separated
1 showing tliu moon.
Simultaneously with the clearing sky wel
known Dutch hjmnti were repeated free ;
Kopjl to kopjl with a strangely weird cffecl
highly Inspiring both the graybeards an
the beardless youths. The battlefield Is fu !
of historical significance. Sploukop hill
whence I am now writing , was u hill fror
which the Doer trekkers , after crossing th
Dakensberg mountains , spied out the the
barbaric ; Natal and found It fair in thel
eves.

WASHINCiTON , Jan. 20 ( Special Tele
gram. ) Montague Whlte.consul of the Trans
vaal at London , In In Wash-
iLgton as the accredited diplo
matic representative of the South
African republic. His presence In that ca
pacity occasions much speculation whether
the State department will receive him in
oITiilal capacity. The weight of opinion
among thoao conversant with diplomatic
linages Is that our government cannot icc-
ognizo him as the diplomatic represenUtlve
of the Transvaal. According to the con
vention of 1881 between Great Britain and
tbo Transvaal , the former country was ne-
ccrded tlm privilege of passing upon any
ticatles the Transvaal might make , except
with Its neighbor , tbe Orange Kren State.
Oui eoveiumunt is Obliged to reooguUu
thla arrangement. Had the Transvaal es
tablished diplomatic relations with this
country after 1SS4 and bcforo tbe outbreak
o : the present war , they would have been
continued despite the war. But to receive
n , diplomatic representative of the Traus-
vnal now would be regarded as an unfriendly
act toward .v frjendlv nation , as It would
bu In ellect a nullification by our govern
ment of the convention of 1RS4 between war
ring countries and nn assumption of the
right to enter Into a treaty with the Trans-
v..al without regard to Great Drltaln's right
of veto of such treaty under tint conven-
I tlon
Besides , there Is grave doubt as to the con
stitutional power of the executive to take
such action In the absence * of sperlfic au
thority by congress. Inasmuch as it might
poshibly bo conptruel by ( Jioat Drltaiu an
an act of war. It is true the United Stated
his a consul at Pietorla , but be Is eh-irgcd
with no diplomatic functions. A Transvaal
consul In this country has no diplomatic
stardlng Consuls In fact are commercial ,
not diplomatic agents of the country employ
ing them The president or secrctaiy ol
j state may receive Mr White as a private
i person , but not as diplomatic representative
ot the Transvaal. In receiving him In nn un
official capacity no offense can bo taken by
Orrat Drltaln , while quite as much can be
elfectcd In that way as though he were
formally received as the diplomatic reprr-
rsci'tatlvn of the government at Pretoria
Mr Whlto'p position Is somewhat com
plicated b.v the fact that he Is a subject
> Great Drltaln and not a citizen of I he
Transvaal republic. Ills leccptlon In s\ \ . pri
vate capacitv by the- president will satisfy
the sentiment of thn count ! } , while It can
give no just offense to the Billlsh govern
ment.
Tbeio IK some talk In congress of that
body's taking action toward recognizing the
two South African republics , the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State , as Independent
states and In nowise under the * suzeialnty
o' Great Britain. Whether definite action
in this direction will bo taken will prob
ably depend on what happens In South Africa
In the near future.

CHICAGO , Jan. 20 A dispatch from
Washington to the Chronicle sajs : The
State department has received iibsuianccA
from Ccuta Rica and Nicaragua that they
are willing to lease territory to the United
*
Stolen for 100 yeuin 0200 yeart > , If neces
sary , for the construction of the Nicaragua
canal.
This definite ubsuranco absolutely re
moves any doubt that may have oxlhtcd as
to the agreement of n treaty between the
Lulled States nnd Costa , Rica and Nicaragua
bj which the absolute control ot the canal
shall be vested In the United States.
The Stnto department will proceqd to
make tlm formal lieaty with Nicaragua and
Costa , Rica an HOOII as the bill has been
P&ssed by congress , but In the meanwhile
H Is expected lit there will be further ex
change of notes dlKciiMiliig t/io treaty be-
twton the Kovernni"iits , in advance of the
eventual passage of the bill and Its slgna-
turo by the president.
It was stated today nt the dcpaitment
that Nicaragua had consented to arbitrate
ll differences with the Mailllmo company
which holds that Its concession , while It
nominally expired October 31 lust. Is still
of force , under certain clauses of the agree
ment. While this matter Is admitted to ar
bitration it wan Hinted at the department
that it would not have any offcctlvo delay
on the negotiations between tbo United
States and the two Central American re
publics.
