Johannesburg Reformers to DEATH
ONE THE AMERICAN, HAMMOND.

They Pleaded Guilty of High Treason---
Verdict Rendered at Sitting Of the
Court In Pretoria, Transvaal--Death
Penalty Commuted---The News at

PRETORIA, South African Republic, April
S0.-Four Of the leaders OF the National Re-
form Committee who pleaded guilty of high
treason, including John Hays Hammond,
the American mining engineer. were con-
demned to death by the court, but their
sentence was afterward commuted by Presi-
dent Kruger.
Counsel for the defence real statement
to the court signed by Hammond, Phillips,
Farrar and Colonel Rhodes, admitting that
they had asked DR.. Jameson to 60 to Johan-
nesburg, but deploring his mistake in enter
ing the Transvaal and marching on Johan-
nesburg when there was no urgent need for
his presence. They maintained that their
action throughout was not hostile to the
Government.
In addition to the sentence OF death passed
upon the leaders of the Reform Committee
sixty other members have been sentenced to
two years Imprisonment, a fine Of $4,000,
and three years subsequent banishment.
Among the other members of the Reform

SLAUGHTER OF lNNocENTs.
Mrs. Dyer Now Accused OF Making Wa!
With Over One Hundred Children.

Mrs. Dyer Now Accused OF Making Way
With Over One Hundred Children.
Mrs. Annie Dyer and her son.in-law,
Arthur E. Palmer, the baby farmers, who
were arrested at Reading, England, on the
charge Of infanticide, were again arraigned
IN the Reading Police Court and remanded
pending the result OF the further search In
the river for bodies which the police are now
making. While the hearing was In progress
an angry crowd gathered outside the court
and INDUCED In menacing language toward
the prisoners.
Mrs. Dyer, who is a middle-aged woman
OF stout build, rocked continually backward
and forward during the recital Of the accusa-
tions against her, appearing to sufler great
mental agony.
The Developments are horrifying the
country. It has been proved that since
Christmas twenty children were intrusted to
Mrs Dyer's keeping, and that only four are
living. The others have vanished. Pnor
to Christmas many other children who mad
been placed in her charge disappeared.
1.-THE woman has for long time practiced
q wholesale system OF infant murder. She
lived In Reading, where she had the reputa-
tion of piety. Above the door Of her home
was a figure OF Christ, beneath which was
the inscription: "suffer little children to
come unto Me, and forbid them not, for OF
such is the kingdom OF heaven"
Over one hundred missing infants are now
connected with Mrs. Dyer. The police have
consulted the higher legal authorities re-
garding prominent persons who have been
found to be involved by giving Mrs. Dyer
charge of children. Sensational develop
ments are probable when the case comes on
for trial.

Hammond's Case at Washington.

WASHINGTON. April 29.-Congress will take
no action in the case Of John Hays Ham

and this was well understood before he
pleaded guilty.

has been condemned to death for his part In
the johannesburg rebellion, Is mining en-.
gineer by profession and an intimate friend
Of Cecil Rhodes, the former Premier Of Cape
Colony. whose adviser be has boen In
Transvaal affairs.
MI. Hammond is native of California,
and went to South Africa several years ago
to enter the service of mining company
controlled by Mr. Rhodes. Mr.. Hammond Is
said to be man Of great wealth, which he
has acquired by his interests In the Trans
vaal gold mines.
Mr.. Hammond was leading member OF
the johannesburg Reform Union. which was
declared to be responsible for the Jameson
raid.
Three OF the other prisoners who, together
with Hammond, have been sentenced to
death are Colonel Francis W. Rhodes,
brother OF Cecil Rhodes; Lionel Phillips,
President of the johannesburg Chamber OF
Mines, and Percy Farrar, proprietor OF the

The old Dominion steamer Wyanoke, Cap.
tain Jenny, bound from Richmond, Va, fol
New York, ran into the United States cruiser
Columbia at about half-past two o'clock
a. m. She was making for Newport News at
the time. The cruiser was at anchor of
NswportNeWs.
The Wyanoke struck the PROV OF the Co.
lumbia and had hole cut In the forward
part of her starboard side. She sank about
quarter of an hour afterward In sixty feet
of water. All her passengess and crew were
saved, but all the baggage was lost, and
probably the cargo also. Two f1remen were
badly scalded, but beyond this no injuries
are reported. The Columbia was anchored
very near the pier. in the channel OF the
river opposite Newport News, and was not
seen from the Wyanoke on account Of the
brilliancv of the electric lights on the pier.
The Wyanoke left Richmond with eighteen
passengers and small quantity Of freight.

built at Wilmington in 1870. She is 23S feet
