LONDON, June 14th. Germany has refused to assent to a per- manent tribunal of arbitration without a guarantee of the impartiality of the tribunal.

GREAT BRITAIN AND THE TRANSVAAL.

Mr. Chamberlain stated in the House of Commons that he is awaiting fuller despatches from Sir Alfred Milner before sending any further instructions.

The Times has reason to believe that Ger many and Holland are urging President Kruger to give way, and earnestly hopes that their advice will be taken. in any case, the Times continues, Great Britain cannot abate her in sistence.

A CORRESPONDENT, writing from Swatow on the 13th instant, says: -The Nai Ngu, torpedo - boudestroyer, flying the German flag, putinhere a few days ago for water, and left for Taku the following day. The Captain stated that of her tris trip she did 35 knots, and there was no bunkum about it either.
