ALARMING DISPATCHES.

Meagre Reports Indicate That the Boers Have Besieged Johannesburg.

"The central committee of the National Union is bitterly indignant at the terms Wftlch President Kruger has imposed, and they declare thai the position the tlitlanders are placed in is solely due to the imperial proclamation forbidding the British subjects to add Dr. Jameson. The populace condemns the committee. General Joubert guarantees the safety of Johannesburg during the armistice. "A dispatch received from Krugeraorf tonight reports that the survivors of Dr. Jameson's forces are in a terrible condition, having no food nor sleep since December 29th.

Don Dickinson Has Some Positive Views on Cuban Question. '-Detroit, Mich., Jan. 6.—The Hon. Don M. Dickinson stated to-night that he had received a dispatch from a Cubtain in Washington confirmatory of the bullet tins .to the effect that the tosurgenitis were actually entering the city of Havana. Mr. Dickfiaison, however, deolimed ito stlate .tlhe sender's name or thief precise contents of Wis messiaige.

Commenting on the fact that ithe Cubans are evidently about ito achieve their independence unaided, Mr. Dickinson said: "Every member of congress should bow his head iin sjhame that no ^teps were taken toward recognizing the state of war tlhat hias exiflsted. Congress should be ashiaimed that it has not done something, to spite of all it hias had on its handis. There is no reason why belligerency should not htave been recognized. lY has been perfectly p'lfeuin that a staJte of War ex» isted yet our govermimanit has stood by and ignored 'it, while we, of all natfions, should hasve been eager to aJssist a people struggling so hard for their freedom. "Now they have evidently won their todependence, not only without ithe afltd of 'tlhe United States, but 'ita spiite of us —yes, sir, in spite of us, there iss relaisoai for shame."

Turning again to the 'diitspaltcfhes iteming of victory, Mr. Dickifnson observed tba/t reliable TOWS would •undoubtedly soon be received from Consul General WMlioms, who has been in Cuba 'for thiirty years. "He wiill surefly send a dispaltch tomorrow," eaiid Mr. Dickinson. Then he was asked what the future would probably bring forth in ithe eyenit Cubaa victory. "That is not so easy 'to tedl,' "If belligerency had been Cuba might have come under itectton, bult now she as Kiik-ely te? to amy other power., Sh^j bo us, certainly.

The call wais an entiire surprise to 'the house, (for ftt had not been expected to aippear before the mliddle oif the week, nor had' its terms been anticipated. The plan is generally approved Iby metmbers otf both pairifiiies wlho believe there is a necessity for bonds, and,those who are opposed Ito (bond Sssues 'altogether thiink itihiait the call for Ibids His much better than the arrangement with* the New York syndiildaite, whiich was generally expecfed.

Among .the Democratic enemies oif bonds talk was heard of a resohitioin detoteuring ithe sentiment oif the hbuse to toe against 'their Hissuanoe, but this was consiidered ampracticaJble as .well as-ex-ceedingly unlikely to pass.

Mr. Cannon, chaiiflmiaini of the approprifatitons commffittee, saiid of the call: "As I understand 'it ithe iproposed syn«dicate arrangements locked toward placing the bonds 'in the United States.

The announcement last nfifeht that the secretary of the treasury had asked for bids tfior a bond liissue oif $100,000,000 was something of a surprise to the subordinate officials of the treasury deportment, as no lin'timationi otf his purpose had been given to any one. It ®s quite prolbable that no one here outside of the president, and prolbaJbly Secretary Olhey, knew of .Secretary Carlislle's intention.

Washington, Jan. 6.—Up to the time of closing tlhe department today the treasury officials hatd received only a few telegrams CoCicerning the new loan and 'these were not of a character to tadiieate ihporsv the announcement had been received throughout the country. Although the president was constrained to moke 'this a popular loan so far as possible by solitoiting todividiial subscriptions, it is understood that neither he nor Mr. Carlsle place any reliance $n its success, except through the&fcd of the syndicate, not because of any lack otf ootalfldence but ifor the reason (that the gold of the ootuntfery lis very largely in the hands of the (bankers who are unwilling to part with it except to their own material advantages, especially at this t'2me when ®t is at a premium. ..

Mr. Paittereon of Tennessee: "I thoroughly approve of the circular. I .thiink 'it wll be popular and successful.

GOLD SYNDICATE At WAR.

The Morgan and the Stewart Syndicate Engaged In Sharp Rivalry. Special to the Indianapolis News.

Washington, Jan. 6.—At the very last moment President Cleveland yielded .to an alleged "popular demand" and dn)v^ted bids ito the next issue of government bonds. The motive given out by Secretary Carlisle at midnight last might opens the way for a great popular loan. Any oitizen ot the XJniited States "who has the gold amd wishes to exchange it for government bonds, can submit hits offer in any sum from $50 or multiple thereof, up to any aimount not exceeding $1,000,000.

But the president and Secretary Carlisle believe now, aS they have all along, that the "popular loan" will prove a failure, amd that In the end the bonds wl go 'to a syndBcate or combinatSon of bankers, who cam make an offer more advantageous to the government than could be secured from an aggregation, otf small bidders. Such was the experience of the treasury department when it negotiated the first sale of bonds. There were many smail bidders, but the Stewart syndicate of New York came to the front with an offer to take the entire is|ue, and fhe syndllfcate's offer was so much more profitable to the government tlhteun amy combination, of individual bidders, that, it received the cocatract and the popular loan ended inan admitted failure.

Because oif hlis lack oif iflaitih ifiru 'the "papular loan" idea, the president placed the next issue of bonds by .private contract with the 'Morgam-Belmont syndicate. He was criiticfised. for alleged "star chamber" methods and ithe vials of criticism were reopened on Mm and. Secretary Carlisle in anitMipation of amoither goivemment loan. One New York newspaper offered to take $1,000,000 and an esteemed cont^lniporary went "a million better." The newspaper behests influenced the (president less, tfit Is said, than the hostile cillticism of congress. Mr. Clevelaind feels thiat thte Republicans are dealing In small politics by clamoring for a "popular loan" and attacking his contract with the 'MorgamBeOmont syndicate. The Blkins resohxtJon which will come nip Sn the senate tomorrow amd is expected to pass, has annoyed .the president and is largely responsible ifor the call for a "popular loan."

John A. Stewart, the New York baJniker, who formed the syndoksaJte that took the first issue of bonds, arrived Saturday, 'and wttth his wife was 'the guest of President and Mrs. Cleveliamd until yesterday. Ini Baltimore last night he was interviewed and saiid he had not diScusesd the proposed bond issue with Mr. Cleveland. But it fi® the opimioni here that he is in Baltimore organizing another syndicate to bid on the next issue of bonds, on terms similar to .those by which he anid his colleagues secured the first issue.

It is current rumor thait a Sharp rivalry Sis on between the 'Morgan-Belmont crowd and Mr. Stewart's followers. There will be no steps taiken to replenish the gold reserve pending the opening of b'idtf February 5th. The notice published last night will, it is siaiid, strengthen ithe nation's credit, and tend to prevent withdraiwails oif gold. Whether it does or not, the effect otf the noitice as sufficient .assurance 'that gold payments will' be maintained, it is believed, and no sales oif bonds Will be made pendiihlg the fate of the popular loan.

A New York Man's Plan.

Washington, Jan. 6.—A special from' New York says: Stephen H. Emtmomis, who is president of a gold mining company at 1 Braodv-"" has sent an open, open letter to j^Jht Cleveland offeri'ng a unique idfor maintaining the gold reserve. He saiid An part: "If the secretary of the treasury will put himself in communicatkm wiifih the owners of gold mines throughout the country he can cause the entire gold production Of the United States to be placed at the disposal off the government to exchange for saver coin-. So far, at amy rate,

as the mines whicJhi

1 personally-possess or direct are concerned, I ami willing 'to undertake that their output of gold—a. very considerable aimount—shall thus be dealt with amid there can pat be amy douibt of every other American gold 'mining corporation toeing ready to do the sarnie. The assistance thus obtainable by the government will not involve amy bond issue amd will not saddle 'the nation with any interest charge or syndicate remuneration. It will add to the volume of home currency at ithe-same time that lit will equally Increase the aimount of international currency in the treasury."

No Premium on Gold.

New York, Jam1. 6.—The Evening Post says: The cam for the government loan caused the premium on' gold to disajppear this morning, amd dt was said thait those persons .who bought gold last week, and especially those who
