SPECIAL DESPATCH
Lonpon, Dec. 28.—-Sir Chas. Warren has joined General tbuller and that columa will remobilized at Frere before again attempting an advance.
Loxpox, Dec. 28.—The Privy Council held a meeting today in Windsor Castle, at which Queen Victoria proclaimed a warning to British eubjects not to assist the inhabitants of the Transvaal or Orange Free State, or to sell or transport mer. chandise thereto, underthe penalty of the law. The proclamation was gazetted last night.
Lonpoy, Dec. 28.—The announcement ot the Berlin Tokal Auzeiger that, under the secret stipulations of the treaty, Ger many will take Portugal’s Asiatic Colon-
ies and territory north of Zambezi, and England Delagoa Bay, is the most
startling news of today. But the author- ity is not official, and the statement of the concerted action of the two powers aguinst Freach and Russian approbation must be accepted with reserve until the foreign offices confirm it. The alleged paymeat of 25,000,000 marks as Ger-] many’s sbare in this territorial trade also seems doubtful.
Some disclosure of this kind nas been expected in diplomatic circles for several weeks, since the necessity of shutting off supplics of arms aod ammuovition from the Transvaal had become apparent wth the prolongation of the war.
The Russian press forecasts the occupa- tion of Herat as the first consequence of British occupation of Delagoa Bay.
The French journals are curious to know what the Washington Governmen;, will do respecting the seizure of American vessels by the British navy.
