In behalf of Mr.. Hammond and
other Americans in custody in

cussing the situation today, Wilt
says: "Our government must un-
derstand this fact, all demands Of
diplomatic courtesy were satisfied
by Mr.. Chamberlain's kind response
to Secretary Olney's request that
Great Britain protect the interests
Of Americans in the Transvaal, but
nothing could be worse for the
Americans, as the feeling against
all Englishmen is exceedingly Bit
ter, while the Beers are very
friendly to the Americans. Indeed,
several Of those arrested are on the
best terms with the Boer govern

were connected with the political
movement. They simply Joined
the reform committee, which was
formed in an emergency to pre-
serve the peace of johannesburg.
President Kruger arrested all the
members of the committee, but /
believe that prompt action taken
through our own representative at
Cape Town would secure the re-
lease of the Americans. Any de-
lay may endanger their lives, as
the Beers are intensely exasper-
ated. We should have represent.

very large. Most Of the lumber In
the mines comes from Puget

Bond svndicate D1ssolved.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The bond
syndicate has been dissolved. The
members of the government bond
syndicate received in their mail
this morning a circular letter from
j. p. Morgan & Co., releasing them
from their commitments to fur
nish their pro-rata of $100,000,00O
in gold and second 500, 900, 900 if
desirable, taking their payment
therefor, in 4 per cent government
bonds. Accompanying this letter
was circular explaining why the
syndicate was formed, what action
was taken on its behalf and why it
is now dissolved.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The reason
given for the dissolution of the
syndicate is that the syndicate con-
tract called for a bid of call or
none," and therefore Mr.. Morgan
was unwilling to make bid under
the present circumstances, as he
might seem to present for consid-
Grafton by the secretary of the
treasury the throwing out of
smaller bids made in good faith
under the public call. The only
emergency in Mr.. Morgan's judg-
ment, which would justify such a
course would be the failure of the
public to respond to the call of the
government. 1t has been neces-
sary to delay the dissolving of the
syndicate up to the present time,
as'every financial interest required
the protection offered by the
knowledge that the syndicate was
in existence, prepared to make the
loan a success under any circum-
stances. The circular concludes
81 feel perfectly satisfied that
there is no question as to the sue
cess of the loan.n
