All the Way From TransvaaI.

Boston, Jan. 1.-THE Standard today
publishes interviews with DIR. George B.
Taylor and Leonard A. Hawkes. of Massa-
chusetts, who claim to have arrived yes
terday from Cape Town, via Southamp-
ton. Taylor says he was in the wholesale
provision business mt Pretoria, while
Hawkes. was engaged in mining. They
intimate that their mission here is Inn
portant business for >the Uitlanders.
Hawkes. claims that Johannesburg only
contains $1,000, instead Of $4,000, as re-
ported. In the entire Transvaal, he says,
with $4,000 people, the Beers only cast
10000 out Of 10000 votes, yet they control
government affairs. DIR. Taylor says:
"British control, not suzerainty, is de-
mandcd by tho majority of the intelligent
citizens, and until 1t comes there will be
no security, either to life or property, for
English-speabing people there"

Stocks went down here yesterday, and
there Is feeling of panic. The situation
here is very critical.
From Washington.
wAsHINGToN, Jan. 15.-The question OF
recognizing the belligerency of the Cnban
insurgents absorbed all the time OF tho
house foreign affairs committee at Its
meeting yesterday.
While it is by no means certain that
majority of the foreign affairs committee
men regard it as expedient to grant recog.
milton TO the belligerents at this stage OF
their fight, a feeling of dissatisfaction did
crop out at the meeting yesterday because
no possible progress Is being made by the
committee toward reaching "A decision on
which it can make "A report TO the house.
Some dissatisfaction was expressed be-
cause the state department has not yet
furnished the committee the information
In its possession on the status ana prog
ress OF txe war in Cuba.
About two weeks ago the house adopted
resolution calling upon the secretary OF
state to forward all the evidence in the
case in his possession. This resolution
has been enforced by the request of tho
committee. Particular request has been
made for the reports and letters to the
department by Consul General Williams
and the United States consuls in Cuba.
The committee think that 1t is entitled ia
all such information and expects to OBJ
tain IL.
Chairman Hit has made several calls
upon Secretary Olney. and has been told
that the matter in possession of the de-
partment was being compiled as fast rs it
could be. Until it is before the commit.
tee, however, no action can well be taken.
In the meantime, the committee is having
an exchange of views on the Cuban ques-
tion.
The principal incident yesterday was n
p carefully prepared speech delivered by
William A. Smith (Mich.). Set speeches In
committee meetings are unusual, but MIR.
Smith is an enthusiastic champion OF tho
insurgent cause. and pleaded for immedi-
ate action. Apart from Mr.. Smiths effort,
the discussion was informal.
The conservative position Is taken by
the members of the subcommittee
Messrs. Adams. Draper and Hitt-who
have charge OF the Cuban question. Mr..
Adams was the United States minister to
Brazil when the government of that coun-
try was changed from monarchy to a re-
public, and he was the first foreign repre-
sentative 10 recognize the new govern.
ment. 1t is understood that members of
the committee argued that the Cuban
revolutionists have no established seat OF
government; that the republic they have
declared is not exercising any civil power
or enforcing any laws, and that they have
no judicial or legislative machinery.

AMERICANS In SOUTH AFRICA.
Our Mining Engineers Greatly Sought and
Well Paid.


The average American probably does
not know that the development of the
greatest mines Of South Africa. and hence
n large part Of the development of the
country itself, Is due chiefly 20 the ingenu-
ity of the American mining engineers
The American mining engineer stands at
the head of his profession In the world.
John Hays Hammond, one of the reform
committee Of Johannesburg, who was ar
rested with the other members of the COM
mittee and taken TO Pretoria, probably
heads the list Of mining engineers OF tho
world, and no is an American.
He Is an old Californian, as are also Mr..
Collins, Mr.. Starr, Mr. Jenkins and "a
dozen others Of the great engineers en-
ployed In experimenting or managing tho
mines in South Africa. Some years ago
he was introduced TO Cecil Rhodes, the
premier OF Cape Colony and the money
king of South Africa, 10y one of the Roths-
childs. He travelled with Mr.. Rhodes all
over Matabeleland and Mashonaland on a
prospecting tour. He was employed by
Mr.. Rhodes as the superintendent OF one
of the greatest 1nines In South Africa at a
salary of 800, 200 year, which Is double
tho salary of the president of the United
States.
1t is because most of the great engineers
of South Africa arc Americans that Amer
lean mining machinery is so much In favor
In the mines there. The engineers favor
their own country.
Mining men who know Hammond and
other engineers there We're greatly alarmed
recently for their safety, and they consid-
cred IL the duty OF the United States gov
ernment to take steps to protect them.
The Beers, the mining men said, care
nothing for Americans, and they were
likely TO take the satisfaction out of these
men they probably cannot get from the
over to the English authorities to be dealt
with.-New York Sun.

WAYSIDE MARRIAGES.
Ministers In Accomac Against an Old East
ern Shore Custom.

The Baptist ministers of Accomac coun-
ty, Va, at their regular quarterly meeting
just held at Modestown, adopted resolu-
tions denoupoing n custom, which has ex-
listed in that part of the state for many
years, of young couples marrying on the
roadside in buggies.
From time immemorial 1t has been the
custom with certain people on the eastern
shore OF this state To get married on the
public highway while sitting in buggies
and not infrequently with hats and bon
nets on during the ceremony.
This custom has Mt last aroused the
moro staid citizens of Accomac and other
portions of the eastern shore, with the re-
suit that the ministers have determined TO
break up the custom. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, whether they will succeed.

bristling with cockades and aigrettes,
and who would have enjoyed the play,
and how many would have seen the
stage?
The Prisoner Of Zenda" drew
crowded house at the Metropolitan last
night The Frohman company is fine
one, and Mr.. Hackett in the leading
character proved himself an artist,
equally on the comedy and on the mel
odramatic side. His support was well
adapted to his work with a single ex-
ceptton. While Miss Irving is a grace
Iul and pretty woman, she lacks the
womanly vigor and the expressive coun-
tenance that the heroine of such ro-
mantle drama should possess. Scarce
iy too strong commentator can be ac-
corded Miss Odell in the powerful role
committed to her. 1t was a work OF
great strength Of symmetry and intense
energy, and the bluff Colonel OF Mr..
Wolcott was fine example Of high art.
The play, one of the most romantic and
heroic, was richly equipped with seem
cry, furniture and fittings, such as are
seen upon the stage here only on rare
occasions. 1t is easy to understand
why drama Of such nervous vigor and
romantic intensity should have achieved
the success that it has had. The COM
pany goes to Fresno this forenoon.
