HAMMOND'S SENTENCE
Another Report, This Time of Very Severe
Punishment

LONDON, May 2O.-A Pretoria dis
patch to the Times dated May 18th says:
The executive council today decided
the punishment of Col. Francis Rhodes,
Lionel Phillips, George Farrar and John
HAYS Hammond, the leaders of the re-
formers who were sentenced to death,
shall be fifteen years Imprisonment. The
hope is entertained that the sentences
will be modified. The decision of the
sentences of the other reformers is still
awaited.
The Times also has dispatch from
Cape Town which says the motion of Mr..
Merriman in the Cape house of assem-
bly, to revoke the charter of the Brit
ish South Africa company is certain to
be defeated. The bulk of the speakers
in the house, this dispatch says, sup
port the chartered company.
LONDON, May 20-The Times ex-
plains in an editorial that there is a
bare possibility that in its Pretoria dis
patch fifteen years meanSthe period of
Punishment instead of imprisonment.
IF it means Imprisonment" says the
Times, sit is almost equivalent to a
death sentence, and will produce pain
full impression of surprise as being Sc
we're beyond all expectations and the
ending will be to perpetuate political
strife"
The Daily Telegraph has a dispatch
from Pretoria dated May 18th which
says the executive council. after heat
ed discussion, postponed the final decis-
ion on the punishment of the reform
leaders until the next day( Tuesday,
A difficulty has arisen. says this dis
patch, from the fact that fifty-two of
the prisoners, including the leaders,
have signed a petition asking for a COM
mutation of their sentences to fines.
while ten of the prisoners have refused
to sign.
PRETORIA, May 19-The sentences
of the reform prisoners have not vet
been decided upon.

A SALOON BURNED OUT
The Eureka, at Turner and Alameda Streets
Quilted by Fire

At 2:15 this morning fire groke out in
a frame building at the corner Of Turner
and Alameda streets, occupied as q sa-
loon by George Smith, under the name
of the Eureka. The place had been
closed shortly after 10 o'clock and ell the
occupants had retired. Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith slept In frame annex to the
main building, In which was also stu
ated the kitchen, where the negro cook,
j. ID. johnson, had his bunk.
Johnson was awakened by a woman
ramed Lena Shepard. who hammered on
his door and shouted that the house
was afire. He got up half blinded by
smoke and ran and kicked in the win
dow of Mr.. Smiths room, then turned his
attention to getting some of the stock
out of the barroom. The blaze had by
this time attained large proportions
and made flare in the sky which could
be seen for blocks.
H. Il. Lyman. one of Insley's patrol
men, turned in the alarm from box Ga at
the corner of Also and Alvarado streets,
and engines were uqickly on the scene
The flames were extinguished before
they had made much further progress
but the interior of the kitchen and sa-
loon was Quilted. The buildings are
owned by Mr.. Bonner, who lives near
by, and are of little value. The damage
to them will be about $500 and to furni-
ture. etc. $500.
Mrs. Smith turned out clad only in
her night dress, around which she after
ward wrapped a shawl. She was un-
able to give any cause for the fire. and
knew nothing of it until the negro
kicked in her bed room window John
son, the cook, says the flames originated
in the kitchen. but could have started
only in one way, by incendiarism. No
lamp was burning in the building and
there was no fire in the gasoline stove.
AS he expressed it, Il knowed 1t must
have been set'
a good proportion Of the stock OF liz
uors was saved by those who gathered
before the engines arrived. and the
burned portions can be replaced at q
small outlay of money. The fire oc-
cured in the heart Of the tenderloin
district and there was a motley assem-
blage of spectators, girls clad In fancy
dresses and tawdry finery. tramps and
dobos who had crawled out of box cars
and lumber yards. together with the
ever present small boy. 1t required the
services of several policemen to guard
the liquors on the sidewalk from the
depredations of would-be thieves.

In COMMITTEE
Progress nadc Toward Settlement of various
Important Matter

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The house
committee on public lands mas oruereu
a favorable report on the bill Tor tne
maintenance of schools of mines in the
public land states and territories by
granting each state from the proceeds
from the sale of mineral lands $4,000
for the current year and an annual in
crease of $1,000 per year for ten years.
The question of repeating the portion
of the internal revenue law providing
for rebate on alcohol used in the arts
and medicine received the attention OF
the senate committee on finance today.
The entire committee is favorable to the
bill with the exception of Senator Plat,
and the conversation in the committee
today revealed a very general desire to
have it passed upon before adjournment.
The house committee on commerce to-
day considered again the Sherman bill
to repeal the imprisonment clause of the
interstate commerce act Recently the
bill which had been placed on the cal
endar of the house was withdrawn by
the committee because of belief held
by some members that the recent deci-
sion by Justice Brown that railroad men
can testify regarding infractionS of the
law by their corporations without in
eliminating themselves made the bill
unnecessary and inadvisable. Last
week there was stormy meeting over
the bill in which charges of railroad in
ftuenCe were maze ana To-Day IL WIS
decided by a vote of ten to four to re-
store it to it's former place on the house
calendar
The prospects for government aid for
a Pacific cable We're also discussed but
without definite result. An agreement
was reached, however, to report a bill
introduced by MIR. Wellington of Mary
land which provides that the shore end
of any submarine cable to be esta blished
after the passage of the act which may
be protected in any foreign country by
exclusive landing rights or special priv
ileges of franchise will not be permitted
to land or be operated on the territory
of the United States until permission
has been obtained from congress.
The conference report on the naval
appropriation bill reported today shows
the senate receded from its amendment
authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to detail revenue cutters to protect
passengers on excursion steamers at
tending regattas The house conferees
accepted the followio" amendments:
Appropriating $4,000 for testing
methods of throwing high explosives
from guns on board ships; increasing
from $3.50 600 to 100000 the appropria-
ton for reserve guns for auxiliary
cruisers. and authorizing the secretary
of the navy to contract for the building
of two submarine torpedo boats of the
Holland type. The conference report
adopted is an agreement on all the
amendments concerning the battleships
and torpedo boats excepting the sub
marine torpedo boats.

DlPhTHERIA CURE
The Famous Specific Tore Deadly Than the
Disease

WASHINGTON, May ia profound
sensation has been caused among medi-
cal men of Germany and France
through the fatal effects attending the
administration of the famous anti-diph-
thereto serum, in the case of a child of
an eminent Berlin physician. A. servant
in the PHYSICIANS household showing
signs of diphtheria, the doctor, to pre-
vent his child from contracting the dis
ease, administered an injection of the
serum and the child died in few min
utes. United States Commercial Agent
Moore at Weimar has made the incident
the subject of a special report to the
state department, in which, after telling
of the various theories put forth by the
medical authorities to account for the
fatal action of the serum, he declared
that the child died from nervous shock,
although it has been held that the mice
ton of the serum into healthy person
for prevention is a dangerous practice.
