Constantinople, May 4.-The newspapers
here We're authorized to announce the
death of the shah of Persia without stat
ing the cause. One paper announces that
the shah was out for a walk, felt unWell
and died suddenly. Some apprehension IS
felt in official circles, owing to the fact
that the assassin formerly lived in this
city, from which place he communicated
with Shiellh Dem Aleddin, who is credited
with having planned the murder of both
the shah and grand vizier Of Persia.

EXTREME DEsQUIET IN TRANSN AAI
Massin. of English ut MafeI>ing One
of It's Sources.

Cape Town, May "A long telesraphlc
correspondence between Sir Hercules Rob
nson, DR.. w. J. Leyds, secretary OF state
Of the South African Republic, and Sir
Jacobus A. Dewitt, British agent at Pre-
toria. covering the period between April
20 and April So has been published. In
brief it shows the extreme disquiet prevail
ing in the Transvaal at the time i'm regard
to the alleged massing of British troops
on the western border of the Transyaal
republic or in the vicinity Of MafekinS. 1t
appears that President Kruger was not
inclined to accept the assurances OF Sir
Hercules Robinson, that the gathering
was not of hostile intent and that the
troops were not being held at Mafekins,
but were being started as promptly as
possible for Buluwayo and elsewhere.
Sir Jacobus Dewitt finally proposed,
with the approval of President Kruegef,
the sending of joint commission of Beers
and English to inquire into the reported
gathering of British troops at Mafeking.
At this Sir Hercules Robinson replied that
he trusted he would have no more such
"preposterous proposals."

ARE DIGGING OUT THE VICTIMS
Work Will Continue on the Wrecked
Cincinnati Building.

Cincinnati, May 5.-The gasoline eNplo-
sion in the five-story building at 4S0 and
452 Walnut street last night has required
! the attention of all the city departments
| today. The street cleaning forces We're
working Oh the debris, while the firemen
and police We're on duty for squares about
the wrecllage. Fatalities in the building
occupied by Adolph Drach and Louis Fey,
| with the cafes and saloons on the first
I floor and fats on the upper floors, We're
licl as great as estimated last night.
In order to rescue the victims from the
pile of debris holes We're cut through the
walls and foundations of the adjoining
buildings. Today it was found that the
adjacent walls showed the effects, either Of
these openings or of the explosion and
all of the occupants of the buildings at

The injured number 70 persons. The only
one reported in critical condition is John

There is much Indignation today because
the explosion is said to be due to careless
ness in emptying gasoline in the tank,
leaving it so exposed that a flash from de
ranged elctric wires caused the explosion:
but as Adolph Drach was himself expert
N entin9 with the new engine and electric
plant. and was one of the victims, there
can not be any investigation or redress.
Work stopped at noon because of dan
Ger from the walls of adjoining buildings.
Ii is feared no more people can be taken
out of the ruins alive. Harry Longmead
and Mortimer Okane. included among the
missing. have turned up.
The work of tearing down the adjacent
walls is progressing with all possible speed
tonight. There has been eight dead re-
covered up to 10 o'clock tonight and seven
are still missing. Those who are still
missing tonight are generally believed to
be in the ruins All of the injured except
John Mccarthy are doing we'll at the

ASSASSINATION OF THE SHAH
Full Confession Which COmplicat tes
Eight Others.

Teheran, Persia, May At has been dcf-
initely ascertained that the assassin Of the
late shah Of Persia, Nazer Eddin is Mol
lah Reza q follower of the well-known
agitator, Sheikh Jem Aleddin, exiled in
1891 after having been convicted of high
treason Reza was also imprisoned for
treason, but subsequently liberated. After
his release he continued his attacks upon
the government; was again imprisoned
and once more released, and was actually
granted a pension by the shah In spite OF
the clemency shown him, Reza continued
his agitation against the government, and
when warned he would again be arrested
suddenly left this city. He was next neard
Of at onstantinople. Instructions We're
telegraphed to that city to have the Per
sian agitator closely watched. Additional
reports from Constantinople advised the
government that ReZa was corresponding
with Sheikh Jem Aleddin Their plans TO-
the assassination Of the shah had been
laid. Two months ago RezG quietly left
Constantinople and for time all trace Of
him was lost. Recently his presence here
has been known to the police authorities
and they are blamed for not having caused
his arrest. They excuse themselves on ths
ground that the late ShahS clemency 10
the assassin was exercised under the be
lief founded on reports of physicians,
that Reza was of unsound mind; and it
was believed, even if taken into custody
once more, he would only be released by
the shah's orders. Since his arrest for tn
murder Of the shah Reza has been closely
questioned by the judicial authorities. AT
first he professed to have acted entirely OF
his own accord and in the interests of his
people, to whom he claimed reforms to
which they were Justly entitled had been
refused.
Later the prisoner confessed that the
assassination Of the shah was the outcom.
Of a long planned conspiracy. He wa
chosen to do the deed. He waited tW'
months for a favorable chance to shoo
the shah The assassin also admitted that
upon many occasions he succeeded IN APP
preaching the late shah under various dis
guses, but it was not until Friday last
in the mosque Of the shah at Abdul Ain
that he got near enough to fire the fatal
shot The assassin has admitted that eight
persons were in the conspiracy. Two, who
have been arrested, are the prisoners
rieces They were domestics employed in
the harem of the shah. Reza has confessed
that the girls kept the conspirators in
formed regarding the movements of The
shah Friday morning the chosen assas-
sin was informed that the shah intended
to visit the shrine Of Sultan Abdul Azin-
Finally Reza Informed the authorities that
he intended to commit suicide by blowing
out his brains, but was disarmed before he
