The Sentence Received With Amaze
ment-Terms of the Communication
Gauava


Cape Town, April 29-Further advices
received from Pretoria say that at the
close of the trial of the leading mem
bers Of the johannesburg reform com
nittee yesterday the presiding judge
after summing up said it was his pain-
full duty to pass sentence upon the
prisoners who had pleaded guilty to
high treason, but he expressed the hope
that the executive would show the
same clemency it had exhibited during
the crisis which marked the beginning
Of the year.
Then amid most intense, painful sil-
ence, throughout the court room, the
judge solemnly passed the sentence Of
death individually upon Lionel Philips,
president of the chamber Of mines Of
johannesburg; George Farrar, proprie-
tor and publisher Of Country Life, of
Johannesburg; Col. Francis Rhodes.
brother of the Hon. Cecil Rhodes and
John Hays Hammond, the American
engineer. manager Of the De Beers
mine.

KING ana MT Blu80aIll, all Americans
We're sentenced to two years imprison-
ment. three years Punishment and to
pay a fine Of $4,000, in default of which
they will undergo another year impris-
onment.
The news of the sentences was re-
ceived with the greatest amazement
here, at Johannesburg and even at
Pretoria.
The attitude of the British popula-
ton was one Of angry resentment. the
Beers were sullenly defiant.
Last night a rumor obtained eircu-
lation that the president was carefully
going over the records OF the trial and
consulting with the legal authorities
Of Pretoria, with the result that he had
decided to commute the sentences to
heavy fines and long terms of impris-
onment to be followed by Punishment.
This report caused a. decided feeling
of relief which was intensified when
the dispatch from Pretoria this morn
ing from an official source announced
that the sentences Of death had indeed
been cOrnu9ufad

which referred all resolutions to the
