cause of much discussion in the city to-

a mystery as when the body was found

dence has all been submitted to the latter,
all opinions are theories. The facts OF
the case so far as they have become
known at this writing are rather vague.

Washington Gossip.

Washington, January 13.-At an inter-
view with secretary Olney this afternoon
concerning the case of John Hayes Ham
mond of San Francisco, the prominent
mining engineer arrested in the Trans
vaal presumably on suspicion of being
connected with the alleged conspiracy of
Uitlanders, Senators White and Perkins
of California, were informed that Mr..
Olney cabled Mr.. Manyon. United States
consular agent at Johannesburg, to secure
protection for all American citizens
there Mr.. .Olney also sent despatch to
Ambassador Bayard. requesting him to
secure the good offices of the British
representatives in South Africa for tie
same purpose.
There are said to be about 500 citizens
of the United States in the Transyaal,
principally in johannesburg, and as fan
as the State Departent is aware, none of
these, with the exception of H ammond.
are arrested.
Mr.. Olney's despatch to Ambassador
Bayard is considered significant, in
| showing despite the strained feelings,
caused by the Olney note and the Presi-
| dents message on the Monroe doctrine.
| the relations between Great Britain and
tho United States are cordial. II is not
| improbable that considerable benefit
! toward a speedy stttlement of the Vene
| zuelan boundary difficulty, may result
| through Mr.. Olney's instructions to the
ambassador. Certainly it is the first op-
portunity that this governments had of
| showing its feelings toward Great Bri-
| tain since the Venezueland message was
sent to Congress. and it may be, that the
administration was actuated in directing
| Mr.. Bayard to secure the good offices Of
| the British officials, when it might as
| we'll have selected the German consular
| officers in the Transvaal for the purpose
| by desire to show the British govern
ment and the people that the United
| States government Is not hostile to Great
| Britain in Its intentions and will take
all proper means to avoid any possible
trouble over the affair.
The Turkish legation gave out this
afternoon an official communication. The
| imperial government will not permit any
distribution among itp subjects, in it's
own territory, by any foreign society or
individuals, however respectable the same
may be, as for instance the Red Cross
Society, of money collected abroad. Such
| Interference no independent government
ever allowed, especially when collections
are made on the strength Of speeches
delivered in public meetings by
irreconcilable enemies of the Turkish
race and religion, and OH the basins of
false accusations, that Turkey repu-
dates. Besides, the Sublime Porte is
mindful of the true interests Of it's sub
jects, distinguishing between the real
| state Of things and the calumnies and
| wild exaggerations of interested OF
fanatical parties who, as 1t has done,
heretofore, under it's own legitimate con-
troll, will alleviate the wants of all "ur-
kish SUBJECTS living in certain provinces,
| irrespective of creed or race.
