of the coarse treatment 10 which Mr..
John Hays Hammond, the American
engineer and member of the reform
committee of johannesburg, and other
prisoners, have been subjected by the
Beers al Petoria, have aroused much
interest here. The promptness with
which the secretary of state for the

tanned the release Of Mr.. Hammond.
upon the representations OF the United
States government, has been warmly
praised and he has been urged 10 act
likewise in the case Of the British pris-
oners.
The Daily News and Graphic publish
descriptions Of the prison at PetOria
and describe a cell in this so-called
BLACK hole Of PetOria,' in which Mr..
Hammond and four others were con-
fined. 1t is stated TO have a hiedous

there who admitted ii said that il IL had
not been for the action OF the British
authorities in getting Captain Heeney
from the Transvaal the latter would

been notified OF Captain Heeney's ar

captain should be released Immediately
upon il being possible for him 10 touch
