Sensational News From the Dis.

Verified.
ON THE WAY TO CAPE TOWN.
England Said to Be Hastily Sending
Troops to Help Out the
Invaders.

NEW YORK, N, Y, Jan. ga special
cable to the Evening Sun from London
says:
The news from the TransvaaI Republic,
which the British Foreign Office has been
suppressing, turns out to be of the most
sensational description.
The London Consul of the TransvaaI
Republic is authority for the statement
that he has received private dispatch
from johannesburg announcing that DR..
jameson has been rescued by the
Uitlanders.
The presumption is that a rising has oc-
Cured and that the Beers, who had the
custody of Jameson and his men, have
been overwhelmed.
The same dispatch also states that the
British Government is rushing troops to
Cape Town. Twelve hundred soldiers left
Bombay yesterday and more are to follow.

The Grand Jury Instructed to Lndict tie
Mayor and Aldermen of
Dubuque.

DUBUQUE, Iowa Jan. 6. Judge
Hustled to-day instructed the Grand Jury
to rndict the Mayor and Aldermen IN case
they found they have taken public funds
for salaries in excess of legal allowances
The Council, after the Mayors reelection
last spring, increased his salary from $1,000
to $500, the limit allowed by law. Then
the Council raised the salaries of its own
members from $500 to $500 each and
allowed the Mayor $500 extra for services
as ex-officio chairman of the Board of
Health and allowed some of the Aldermen
extra COMPENSATION for services as COM
mittee clerks. Mayor Olinger and Alder
men Shea, Halpin, Cullen, Vogler,
Schultz, Crawford and Bauer have taken
the extra compensation. Judge Hustled
talked to the jury two hours and declared
the members would violate their oaths if
they failed TO find the indictments.

ANSWERS TO CRITICISM,
Views of President Bartlett of
the Nicaragua Canal
Company.
Commissioners Condemned the Work
of Others Without a Proper
Examination.
Correspondence of The United Press

LONDON, ENG, Dec. 21.-In an inter
view with ]. R. Bartlett, president of the
Nicaraguan Canal Company, in London
yesterday, United Press reporter was in
formed by that gentleman that he had lust
returned from visit from the Manchester
ship canal.
81 was most gratified at what saw and
surprised at the magnitude of the WORK, "
said Bartlett. THE amount of excava-
ton in constructing the canal was in ex-
cess of 100000 cubic yards in rock and
earth, nearly as much as will be required
in the entire construction of the Nicara-
guam canal.
'The cost of the Manchester Canal,
about 912,000,000, was largely enhanced by
reason of the land damages and the build
ing of viaducts and bridges. Sewers, gas
pipes, water pipes, rivers and canals all
had to be taken under the river canal, a
work of great expense and magnitude.
"None of this extra work will be required
in the construction of the Nicaragua canal,
as 1t runs through Il country not popu-
lated and where no railway bridges have
to be constructed to secure right of way
81 am, therefore, satisfied upon exami-
nation of the physical facts and the items
OF cost that the entire excavation in rock
and earth and building of locks upon the
Nicaraguan canal will not exceed that of
the Manchester canal"
Bartlett further said it had also been
commented on here that the commits
sioners evidently went to Nicaragua
to criticize and condemn the work
of others, and it was considered
significant that they only spent
fourteen days examining the line of the
canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
then were loud in criticisms of the work
of experienced men who spent years in
surveying the route and making plans
with care and at cost of several hundred
thousand dollars.

Public Opinion Changing in Ref
erence to the Venezuelan
Controversy.
WAR WAS HARDLY EXPECTED.
Correspondent Norman Presents a
Golden Opportunity for Great
Britain to Embrace.

LONDON, ENG, Jan. 6.-The American
correspondent OF the Daily Chronicle
Henry Norman, cables to the paper from
Washington to-day as follows:
The tide of opinion here regarding
England seems to me to be distinctly
turning, owing l believe both to the
Chronicles utterances and to England S
foreign crisis. Yesterday l quoted sympa-
thetic words from the New York Sun and
to-day the Tribune says there is some
thing magnificent in the way the British
themselves face their international situa-
ton. The Tribune speaks of the ever
lasting birthright of the British people in
the memories OF Agincourt, Plassy and
Trafalgar and declares that the present
opportunity is equally momentous and
advantageous to both countries 1t adds
that worthy diplomacy should now make
easy the way for an equitable and AMIGA
Bile settlement with Great Britain. Upon
the Governments of Washington and
Westminster it rests to determine whether
this noblest opportunity OF the age shall
be neglected or shall be improved to the
perpetual profit and glory of both the
great divisions of the EngIish-speaking
race.
"Many similar utterances prove the
truth of my assertion that all the best
American opinion is earnestly desirous of
a friendly and dignihed settlement. To-
day had a conversation on this subject
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-01-07
come any reasonable method of settling

come any reasonable method OF settling
the dispute without resort to force.
There is no particular sanctity in the
Schomb burg line, but it was regarded by
Great Britain as marking off verbally
settled districts from those still unoccu-
pied.
"It ought not to be difficult to determine
which districts have been actually occu-
pied by each nation and excluding these
to arbitrate on the unsettled districts as a
whole.
cit would not then be necessary to deal
with the Schomburg line at all, while the
object of Lord Salisburv's restriction
would be attained. But the people of
the United States must not suppose be-
cause we share the desire OF the best
among themselves for peaceful ending of
the dispute, that we are willing to surren-
der, whether we have troubles in Europe
and Africa or not, the principles for
which we have contended."
The paper urges strengthening of the
nations defenses, and concludes:
"Our position is purely defensive one.
We have attacked nobody, insulted no.
body, but to defend the British empire is
no light task. 1t will make large demands
upon our resources, but what we have to
guard is worth fighting for. Fighting
probably will not be needed if we show
that we are strong, prepared and thor
ouphly united ("

TO KILL A BENEFACTOR.
Arrest of Two Brothers Who
Plotted to Commit
Murder.
One Had Been Reared by the Intended
Victim and Desired to Get
His Position.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. CIV. J. Weber
and Gus Weber, brothers, were arrested
this afternoon charged with plotting to
kill E. V. Hamlin, secretary of the Kilmer
Steel Tile Company. HamIin has been
absent for a month or so resting in Florida
for his health, and during his absence the
elder Weber has filled his position. The
secretary has just returned to the city, and
it is alleged that Weber planned to kill
him so that he could retain his lob
Weber was picked up from the street by
Hamlin twenty years ago and was edu-
Gated by the latter and supported until he
reached manhood. His brother Gus is a
tough about town and has been in the
Bridewell several times
According to the police report Gus this
afternoon confessed that w. J. Weber Of
fered to pay him to put Hamlin out of the
way, and he accepted the Job. Gus took
with him as a partner in the prospective
murder another tough named Dick M Malo-
ney. and the two were fitted up with new
clothes and weapons by the man who
wanted his benefactor killed. Sunday
evening the two would-be murderers
boarded a West Side car upon which was
riding Hamlin, the intended victim. Mr..
HamIin left the car at Latin street to go
home. 1t is in dark neighborhood, and
it was planned to kill the old man before
he reached his own house, but Maloney
weakened, and Weber, not wishing to do
the job alone, postponed it to get another
partner.
few words overheard spoken between
them led to an investigation. Both Web
ers are locked up and Maloney is held as
witness. Hamliu is reluctant to believe
the man he raised from boyhood has
plotted his destruction

with Senator Gray of Delaware, an init
mate and devoted friend of Mr.. Cleveland
and a prominent member of the Foreign
Relations Committee. Senator Gray said ::
i do not think the President made or in
tended to make threat toward the Brit
ism Government in his message, but he did
mean to express, in the strongest way pos
sible, his own feeling and what | believe
to be the feeling of all the people of this
country regarding supposed British refusal
of arbitration in the Venezuelan matter,
except with reference to an arbitrary line
made by the British Government itself.
know there is sincere regret and dismay
among all right-minded people here that a
more conciliatory disposition was not ac-
cepted by Lord Salisbury in regard
to the general principle OF arbitration.
If the British Government should show a
kindly disposition toward this principle
believe it would be greatly welcomed by
the people of this country. So far as
there being any loss of prestige to the
British Government in it's course, it
would make me m ore hopeful that the gre at
principle of arbitration will find express
sion in a convention between the two
countries covering all questions that
might arise.
"The New York Times also describes my
statement of the American case as supe-
rior and entirely truthful.
1.-THE present moment is golden one to
secure American good will. Can England
afford to lose it? If Lord Salisbury takes
no step and sees no way then let him re-
fleet that his attitude is identical with
that fatal one which lost Great Britain
her American colonies more than Gen.
tury ago. The American people are eagerly
listening for some word from him. The
cost of it would be slight and the gain
colossal"
The Chronicle commenting editorially
on the foregoing will tomorrow say:
WAS there ever situation which called
more imperatively for an advance to meet
contention which seems to us to offer no
kind of menace to our interests or honor I?
We call for expressions of opinion on this
matter. Surely Lord Salisbury, surely Mr..
Chamberlain will see the wisdom and
necessity of finding diplomatic equivalent
for the American desire for arbitration.
If diplomacy has no such expedient left to
it then we are indeed governed by forces
that fight against peace, mutual forbear-
ance and all the good and promising
relations of mankind"

MADRID, SPAIN, Jan. 6.-An official
dispatch received here states that the
westward march of the insurgents in Cuba
has been arrested by Government troops.
The dispatch adds that General Navarro
has defeated the rebels, but gives no de-
tails The Heraldo claims to have knowl-
edge that it is the intention of Captain
General Campos to resign on February 5.
The spread of the rebellion causes great
uneasiness here. In military circles Mar
shal Campos is severely criticized, but the
consensus of opinion is that the Govern
ment will not remove him from the COM
mand in Cuba.
dispatch from Havana to a news
agency says that band of rebels exploded
dynamite under train on the Nuevitas
Puerto line containing 300 passengers,
several OF whom were injured. Troops ar

Members of the Jtmta to Give Inform a ton

Estrada Palma, Minister Plenipoten-
tlary of the provisional Cuban re-
public, General Gonzales de Quesada,
secretary of the Cuban legation, and
Horatio S. Rubens, legal adviser of the
Cuban Junta. went to Washington this
evening for the purpose of laying i'm
portant information before the Congress
sional committee lately appointed to Sc
cure facts concerning the actual situation
in Cuba.
1t was said at the Cuban headquarters
to-day that the friends of the insurgent
cause who were in Washington were about
to make q vigorous effort to secure Gov
ernment recognition of the Cuban belliger-
ency.
One of the commissioners from Las
Villas who arrived at the Junta headouar-
ters last week and brought the documents
which the members of the legation have
taken to Washington said
81 will tell you a secret which has not
been mentioned except to the few leaders
in this country. If the United States will
recognize our plans of belligerency it will
save Cdba great loss of blood and prop
erty.
''If the United States insists upon more
proof of our ability to do whatever we
please with Cuba, then we will attack the
only city on the island which the Spanish
say we cannot enter, and that is Havana.
If we must do it we will enter
"But if we do there will be a scene of
terrible carnage. There are several
thousand men in the population of Ha-
vana who would flock to General Gomez the
| moment he enters. The slaughter would
be fearful, besides the city would be given
over to dynamite and flames"

Pleads the american TieW of the Vene-

LONDON, ENG, Jan. 6.-Dr. Conan
Doyle, the well-known writer, has sent to
the Times letter which that paper will
publish tomorrow.
Dr. Doyle lengthily discusses the feeling
of bitterness between the English and
Americans and pleads the American view
OF the Venezuelan dispute. He ex-
poses the faults and arrogance of
the English Yankee haters and pro
poses that an Anglo American
Society be started in London, with
branches throughout the empire, with a
view to promoting good feeling and fur
nishing the English with the American
side of questions that may arise and vice
versa,
