PRAISES JAMESON.
And Says Americans Are Not Well Posted
Transyaal Matters.


New York, February 24.-Ernest A.
Wiltze, experimenting engineer of the
Consolidated Gold Fields company of
Johannesburg, arrived here from Europe
on Saturday.
He talked yesterday of affairs in the
Boer Republic and of the grievances of
the foreign resident which led to the
Uitlander revolution.
Americans, said Mr.. Wiltze, "are
not so we'll informed as they should be o.
the vast Importance of our interests in
the Transvaal or of the prominent part
that is being played by our countrymen
in the developments Of it's mines. So far
as the technical features of the mining
industry are concerned, Americans are
predominant. The operation of many of
the principal mines is directed by Ameri-
can engineers, AMI in addition an enor-
nous and rapidly expanding business is
being done in the Importation of Ameri-
can machinery, mining tools, lubricating
oils, timber and a hundred other things
of prime Importance IN the mining bust
ness. In the matter of timber alone. no
less than twenty steamer loads from the
forests of Oregon are monthly used in
the mines. There are now two steamer
lines running direct from New York to
the Cape whose vessels go loaded with
American goods of all kinds and yet I
find that The people here have only
vague idea of the magnitude of their in
terests ill Africa.'
Speaking of the trouble that led to
Jameson's raid, Mr.. Wiltsee said:
People have Ii 70 conception of the op-
preston which the foreign element en-
gagged In the mining industry, which
constitutes by far the greater proportion
OF the population, have suffered at the
hands of the Boer government which is,
l believe the most selfish, narrow-minded
and corrupt in the world. In name re-
public, IL is the most absolute tyranny in
existence. Ii has not only placed practi-
cally prohibitiye conditions on the
naturalization of foreigners, but has
heaped the most exasperatingly tyranni-
cal restrictions on the great Industries
which foreign enterprise has created. 1t
is these very restrictions that have oper-
ated so strongly against American in
terests as we'll as those of other nations
The course of the Transvaal has been the
concessions which the Boer government
has granted to one or two specially
favored firms for considerations which I
need not specify. The result has been
the creation of numerous monopolies all
OF which have operated against them in
ing interests in general, and in favor of
the concessionaries, and consequently Of
the Boer government. The result is that
certain lines of business are killed and
the Beers are growing rich on the plum
der of the foreign element. The Boer
government is now accommodating a sur
plus at the rate Of 1000, 600 pounds year
and this is loaned out to favored
burghers. Why, any Boer farmer who
had what we call ''pulp' can get loan
of several thousand pounds for the ask
ing. 1t is the old story of killing the
goose that laid the golden egg.'
OF DIR. Jameson. Mr.. Wiltsee spoke in
terms of enthusiastic admiration. ''No
man in Africa" said he, is more popular
than DR. Jim -

Chief Inpsector Watts of the Boston
police force this morning in relation to
the case of Nellie McDonough of Newing-
ton, who died in lodging house in Wor-
cester street, Boston, on the 18th inst.
From investigation it appears that while
Nellie worked at Mrs Bates's house, No.
81 Claremont Park, girl named Emma
Keeys, came there and had an operation
performed, from the effects of which she
died. Mrs. Bates and Nellie were
arrested. the latter as a witness. Her
arrest worried her greatly and she ap-
peared to be in constant dread of having
to go to court as a witness. The case was
set for trial for the 18th or 18th and the
authorities think that the girl committed
suicide rather than go to court.
