London, Jan. 1S.-Experts in the law of
the South African republic concur in the
belief that If the penalties for treason are
enforced in full the Boer government
will make a rich haul through the con-
fiscation of property of those who are
convicted of that crime. Among those
arrested is Lionel Phillips, who is the
registered holder of Rand shares to the
amount of e., 80 900. Calculations based
on knowledge Of the properties of the
other prisoners show that the total money
value of the property liable to be con-
fiscated is fl40O0, 00O The clemency shown

a number of prominent members of the

boat is expected in the morning with near
~ 800 residents of Havana, fleeing for safe
Madrid. Jan. 1s.-Dispatches received
here from Havana says that Gen Nartl-
nez Campos will sail for Spain on Jan. 20
The consensus Of opinion here is that
the superseding of Gen. Martinez Campos
in command OF the Spanish forces in Cuba
will greatly improve the situation there.
Military journals censure Gen. Martinez
Campos and declare that his splitting mp
his 10000 followers into small sections

chier cause OF the extension OF the Gu
ban revolt.
Premier Canovas has received a lengthy
dispatch from Gen. Martinez Campos, the
retiring Captain General of Cuba, with
regard TO the latters recall by the Span
ish cabinet. The dispatch concludes as fol-
lows: Il regard your message as an or

and after a consultation between Premier
Canovas and Gen. Weyler the former will
announce his final decision in the matter.
New York, Jan. &c. A. Solomon, the
newspaper correspondent who reached
Havana on Sunday last on the steamship
Seneca fom hhis port. was a passenger on
the steamship Saratoga, which arrived
here to-day. Solomon owes to his sim
plicity Of manner the fact that he Is now
at liberty. He went to Cuba for a New
York paper. He had in his possession, 1t
is reported, q number of letters address,
ed to insurgent leaders and when he got
to Havana the Spanish authorities arrest
ed him, took him across the river to Nor
70 Castle and stripped him.
He was searched and documents, II is
said, that would have made any other
man a target for a squad of Spanish
soldiers, were found I'm his pockets and, in
his shoes. The authorities, however,
looked upon Solomon as too innocent a
person to court martial and shoot, so
they sent him back to Havana under
guard and tucked him away in the sec
ond cabin of the Saratoga, which sailed
at 8 o'clock the following morning.
Solomon did not exhibit any of the
wisdom of his biblical namesake" said
Capt Boyce of the Saratoga this morn
ing He seems 20 be an innocent as a
child unborn, and as the Spanish took
that view OF the affair he was let go. Sol
omon is an extremely lucky youth"

Hathaway of the House committee on

ing Of that committee this morning that
he had received several letters begging
him to lay before his committee the fact
that things were not as they ought to be
at the deaf, dumb and blind Institution
at Staunton, Va. One letter on the sub
ject, which Mr. Hathaway had just re-
ceived, he read to the committee. 1t was
from man named Randolph, in Norfolk
who stated that he had been q student
at the institution. His wife had also re-
ceived her education there. Mr.. Ran

the writer was aware of cases where the
sending of girls TO the institution has
meant their ruin. He made very serious
charges, but none specifically, against
teachers in the institution. Mr. Randolph
further said that he was prepared to give
testimony as to a very bad state of af-
fairs, which he alleged existed at the
Staunton institution.
A special to the Dispatch from Staun-

that place were surprised at the news
that such charges had been made, and
that the authorities of the institution
