and believe. in fact know, that the move
ment was one In the direction of reform.
II knew that trouble of some kind was
brewing for the reason that the state OF
things was growing more and more in
tolerable to the Citlanders or foreigners.
AS for my friend. John Hays Ham
mond, he Is an American heart and soul
and would never think Of having TO do
with movement looking to the overthrow
Of even an oligarchical republic. He Is OF
the same caliber as DR.. jameson, and the
men generally who are making out of
the sterile Transvaal one of the richest
and most prosperous regions on the earth's
surface with splendid future. | could
speak more specially of matters in the
Transvaal from inside knowledge / pos
sess. but prudence compels me 10 silence
The concessions lately granted by the
Bocr government to three companies 20
to show were they inquired into that this
innocent administration Of Paul Kreuger
has an eve to the main chance and is not
lacking IN sordldness.
In conclusion / may say that the Amer
lean element I'm South Africa takes in
the most influential and progressive of the
population and has, In an engineering
sense control of the Rand mines, which
mines are the largest In the world. Why
they are not half developed nor will they
be until the Transvaal has n more liberal
government. AS for the future no man
knows what It will bring forth, though we
can all Euess. That there will be vast
changes Is certain"

FILIBrsTERER SEIZED.

Revenue Officers Nipped an Expedition
in the Bud.
New York February A.-The World will
tomorrow publish the following: The iron
steamer bermuda flying the British flag,
was boarded and seized by revenue Of
flcers off Liberty island last night.
The Bermuda has been under the watch
Of Spanish spies for some time. They had
reason to believe that she had been
bought by Cuban revoutionlsts and was
fitted out as a filibusterer. She had been
anchored off Liberty Island since last
Saturday and yesterday there was evil
dence that she was preparing for sea.
AT II p. m, just after large party, Of
Cubans had gone aboard. the revenue
cutter Hudson steamed alongside and a
boarding party arrested all on the Ber
muda.
At midnight the revenue cutter Chandler
started down the bay to catch lighter
loaded with ammunition and look for an
other party of Cubans who had started to
board the bermuda.
The Bermuda is an English built steam
or formerly running in the outer bridge
line. She was recently purchased by
firm suspected of being in league with the
revolutionary party. Last Saturday she
was taken to the coal docks at Port Lib
orty and there coaled up. Then she went
"a tho Liberty Island anchorage. when
the tug ran alongside the marshals and
Pinkerton men swarmed aboard. No re-
sistance was offered by the frightened
crow and Cubans who had Just come
aboard. Every man was seized. among
the captiyes being General Garcia's son
and several other prominent Cubans.
-Four bags OF gold were seized by the
marshals and quantity of ammunition.
