THE BUDGET OF A DAY,
JOHANNESBURG.


Foreigners Complain bitterly of Treat
ment.
LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The Times
will print tomorrow a telegram re-
ceived from and signed by British
residents in Johannesburg, South
African Republic. The dispatch
declares that the situation is very
dangerous.
The Boer forces, it says, are ar
rogantly dictatorial with their own
executive, and are deadly opposed
to granting reforms for the benefit
of Uitlanders.
Forces are still concentrated
around the town. The executive
is choosing a site for a fort. The
dispatch adds that catastrophe
can only be averted by the adoption
of urgent measures.

General Nelson A. Miles, com
handing the army, before the Com
mittee on Coast Defenses today

GRIEF FOR PIRATES.


Wrecked.
VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, Jan.
2S,-Twenty-6ve men were picked
up from open boats off Long Island
on Monday morning by the schoon
err Helen II. Benedict. Their ship
was the steamer J. w. Hawkins,
recently purchased at Baltimore for
an alleged Cuban cruise, and she
sailed from New York on Sunday
night, having on board between
seventy.five and a hundred men,
bound, it was claimed, to join the
Cuban insurgents. The rescued
men report that when the steamer
was off the Eastern end of Long
Island she sprang a serious leak
and the water gained so rapidly on
her that all hands were obliged to
take to the boats.
1t is known six men were lost.
A survivor says:
Then we began to throw over
the cases of arms and ammunition.
We had great quantity on board.
There were over $50, 600 worth of
arms alone. We had two Hotch-
kiss guns, some Remington and
Winchester rifles and 1000, 600
rounds of ammunition. In addition
to this there were 5000 pounds of
dynamite and lot of raw material
for making heavy explosives. All
these things we threw into the sea,
which by this time was boiling
around us and sending great waves
over the decks. We worked all
night and when daylight came we
had thrown all of the cargo and
coal overheard. Still the water
continued to gain on us in the
engine-room, and at last it put out
the fires. Then we took to the
boats"
