The Transvaal Trouble.
(Per Press Association.) London, February 13. In the Reichstag, Baron Marschail Von Biederstein, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, denied any knowledge of Krqger's request for German intervention with respect to the Transvaal, and declared that the normal friendly relations with Great Britain had not ceased. British press statements of German designs, he said, proved ignorance of German manners, In the House of Commons, Mr Labouchere moved an amendment to the Address, insisting in an enquiry into the financial action of the Chartered Co. Mr Chamberlain, in a brilliant reply, which was loudly cheered, said the enquiry would cover Jameson's invasion and the causes of agitation in the Band, also the conduct of the Chartered Company. He himself favoured a judicial commission. He regretted that publicity of the despatch had caused the irritation in the Transvaal, but this would have no deterrent effect on his continuing friendly relations with the President. Pbetoeia, February 14. President Kruger was much incensed on the receipt of a summary of the Hon. J. Chamberlain's despatch. He has published a reply in the Dutch news paper, S,taats Courant, declaring it illadvised and premature.
