BETTER TONE PREVAILING. London, January 9. Owing to tbe improved outlook of af" fairs in the Transvaal the War Office has decided not to mobilise the troops. The Times states that German newspapers, which seemed to be officially enthused at the invasion of the Transvaal, explain that the landing of marines was merely intended for the protection of German residents in Pretoria. German papers declare the country is unanimously of opinion that the Trans vaal question will soon be removed from the acute stage after a settlement with Kruger. The Italian Press condemns the imprudence of the Emperor of Germany. The Times says Great Britain holds that the Powers have no claim to inter* vene in South Africa, and that they should refuse to hold a conference on the question. Sydney, This Day. With reference to the statement by cable that Eruger demands tbe exile of Rhodes trom the Cape, the Commissionera from the Cape say the idea is monstrous and simply tantamount to a declaration of war. Rhodes, besides being the greatest Imperialist in Africa, is so identified with English and Colonial interests that his expulsion is out of the question.
