PRHTontA, April SO, 1:30 p. in. President
Krugor, of tho Transvaal Republic, has
commuted tho sentence of death passed

LONDON, April 20. Thosecrotary of stato

day that tho flvo loadora of tho roform com
inlttoo of Johannesburg, J. H. Hammond,
Frnncla Ithodos, Gcorgo Farrar, Lionel

coudomnod to death.
Mr. Chiynborlaln added that upon hear

Capo Colony, Sir Hercules Hobinson, to
communlcnto tho following to Prosldont
Kruger!
"Tho government havo just learnod that

JOHN HAYS HAMMOHD.
tho flvo leadors of tho roform committee
They can fool no doubt that your honor
will commute tho soutenco, and havo as
sured parliament of their conviction that
this Is your honor's Intention."
YV. J. Galloway, Conservative mombor
for Southwest Manchester, nskod whothor
tho law under which tho leaders ot tho
Johannesburg reform committed woro
tried does not provldo for tho confiscation
of their property In tho ovont of convic
tion, and not for tho Imposing of tho death
ponalty.
Air. Chamberlain said ho was unablo to
answer tho question.
Whllo Mr. Chnmborlnln s announce
ment Is thought to havo Inercasod tho
gravity of tho situation In South Africa,
thoro Is nu lunor ring of politicians who
nro luolluod to think that tho wholo mat
tor is tho result of a deal botweon tho
prisonors mid tho Boer authorities, and
that tho former obtalnod tho nssuranco
that their sentences would bo commuted
before thoy pleaded guilty to tho chargo
of high treason.
Tho Chartorod South Africa company
has rocolved n cable dispatch from Johan
nesburg, giving further details of tho
judginont of the high court at Pretoria In
tho caso of tho members of tho national
roform commltteo. This dispatch states
that in addition to tho sentence of death
passed upon tho leadersof thercform com
mltteo sixty other mombors havo boen
sentenced to two years' Imprisonment, a
flno of 2,000, and thrco years' subsequent
banishment. Tho dispatch ndds: "There
Is groat oxcltomont horo, and unless tho
sentences nro speedily commuted troublo
Is expected."
Tho Dally News (Liboral) says: "Tho
sentences Inflicted on tho rank and fllo nro
u grentor surprlso to African circles In
London than woro tho death sontoncos. It
Is understood that ono motive of tho lend

TUB KFFOKT TO SAVK HAMMOND.
Senators and Kepreseiitatlvet Appeal to
President Kruger.
Washington, April 20. When Sonntor
Stewart, who Is u personal friend of John
Huys Hammond, heard ot his sontonco to
dentil ha immediately prepared n petition
In Mr. Hammond's behalf, which ho had
circulated among souaiui's and membors
ot the house. The petition was signed by
nil to whom it was presented, it is ail
dressed to President Kruger, and Is us fol
lows: "Tho undcrslgued, members of tho sen
ate and house ot representatives of tho
Unltod States of America, respeotfully
represent that John Hays Hammond is a
oltlZen ot tho United States and a man of
high charactor, connuctod with the best
families of tills country, and an onglnocr
of ability. We regret oxcoodlngly his un
fortunate connection, with tho troubles In
your country, fur Vi'hlcludl our pooplo ou-
tortnlli Tooling ot Ktlutnoss and- lVspdoc.
In view of the uulmpeauliablo charactor
of Mr. Hammond lu his own country, and
tho high standing ot his friends and rela
tions, wo earnestly ask for htm your most
kindly consideration, If your exoellenoy
would oxtcmt to him 11 pardon for his of
fenses against your government wo would
ostcom It an ospoclal oomnllmetit to us, as
woll as to tlio peoplo of tho Unltoil States.
Hoping that you will relieve Mr. Ham
mond from tho ponalty of his associations
wo aro your most obodlont servants."
Hammond's case was referred to In vos
tordny's cabinet meeting, andaltnougn tho
stato department authorized no statomcnt
concerning tho enso further than making
public a cablegram from Mr, Knight, our
vlco consul at Capotown, predicting n
commutation of his sentence, it cannot bo
doubted that tho government will do all
w-ithlh Its power to secure nn amelioration
of Hammond's sentence, inasmuch ns ho
is regarded as rather a victim of circum
stances than as a doliberato conspirator
against tho Boor government. It Is bo
lioved, however, that oven before tho ma
chinery of tho department can bo set in
motion Hammond's sentence will havo
boon commuted.
It Is folt at tho stato department that It
has boon criticized rather unjustly In con
gress itnd elsowhoro upon Its conduct of
Hammond's case. Tho United States has
no diplomatic; ropresontatlvo whntcver In
tho Transvaal, nor can It havo so long as
tho foreign relations of that country aro
confided by treaty to Great llrltaiu, and
It would bo a manifest violation of pro
priety and International law for tho Un
ited States to Ignoro Great llrltaiu in this
matter, and particularly so In view of tho
alacrity with which tho British govern
ment has respoudod to our request for tho
protection of Americans In tho Transvaal.
Mr. Hammond graduated from tho
scioutlflc department ot Yalo In 1870, and
afterward pursued his studios in mining
in ono of tho Gorman universities. Ho
turnlng to tho United States, ho had a
very successful caroor In tho western
states and territories as an expert mining
engineer. Soveral years ago, whllo In
London, Mr. Hammond was engaged by
Cecil Rhodes to go to tho Transvaal and
tako chargo of his largo engineering oper
ations at a salary of WJ.O'JU a year, which
was afterwards Increased to 8100,000. Mr.
Hammond has tin reputation of bolngouo
of tho foremost mining engineers in tho
world.
Colonel Francis Hhodes, anothor of tho
Johannesburg "roformors" who has boen
condemned to death, is a brothor of .Mr.
Cecil Hhodes, tho ex-premlcr of Capo Col
ony and tho head and front of tho South
Africnn propaganda. Colonel Ithodes has
long been actlvo in SouthJAfrlcnn affairs,
and Is only less distinguished than his
bettor known brothor.

Taken of the Scenes.
Tho attaches of tlio Disttlct Attorney's
ollico In Pottsvlllo aro busy getting ready to
try two Shenandoah murder cases. Ono is
tlio case of Theodore Eisenhower, who shot
and killed John Schwindt In mistako for his
brother, William. ' Tho other is tlio case of
Mike Mlnella, tho Italian charged with
shooting and killing Joo Zukufski lu the
light on West Coal street.
Tho case which wUl arouso tho greatest
Interest is that of Eisenhower, as it is ex
pected that the defenso will try to wasli con
siderable dirty linen in court to show that
tlio victim's brother brought about the
tragedy by relations with Eisenhower's
wife, and that tho prisoner was really insauo
and not responsible for his act.
It is quite evident that a strong light will
bo mado ill behalf of tho accused. Ho will
bo represented at tho trial by Congressman
C. N. lirumm, Gcorgo Dyson and L. 1).
Haughawont, Esijs. Thus far District At
torney lleehtel is tho only ono slated to
prosecute the case, but it is quito likely that
lie will bo assisted by private counsel. It is
expected that tho case will bo tried on tlio
11th of May.
Tli is afternoon Deputy District Attorney
McLaughlin camo to town witli a photo
grapher and went over tho scenes of both
crimes. Two largo viows were taken of each
and they will bo used by tho prosecution on
tho trial of tlio caso. Peoplo at tho place
when tlio views were taken weio used to
designate tho assailants and their victims.
They woro placed by Mr. McLaughlin, who
acquainted himself witli the details upon a
visit to town a few days ago, and was as
sisted by Dctectivo Amour, who has been
doing special work in connection with the
cases.
Whilo tho District Attorney is pushing his
arrangements to try Mlnclla, the Italian, it
is not likely that the caso will bo tried dining
