John Hays Hammond,

The well-known Californian, pleaded
guilty on the 2Sth ult. to high treason
against the Transvaal Government, and
was sentenced to death. He was ar
rested as one of the meters of the
Jameson raid, and, after being held in
prison for several weeks, was released
on heavy bonds through the efforts Of
the State Department. That he in
tended to plead guilty on the assurance
that his sentence would be committed,
was evidently known in advance, and
on Tuesday evening last Secretary
Olney gave out a cablegram from Vice.
Consul Knight to that effect. 1t is be-

The Reno Tribune has the following
We are soon to have an election Of
school trustees, and in the selection of
those who are to fill these important
positions party p~rejudices should be
thrown aside and good, earnest, exec
utive men or women elected. II the
best interests Of the people can be
served why not elect ome to the
place. The school trustee has in his
position a power for much that is good
in the community, and the wives and
mothers being nearer to and better
judges Of child nature, might be wiser
servants Of the people, and their infu-
ence more uplifting and on the line OF
advancement.
BE that as IL may, the time for C.
ton is near at hand and we should see
that We have a good Board Of trustees
whose motto should be To the teacher
who does honest work with marked
ability We will give u support and
endeavor that our schools shall be a
sacred trust by performing our duty
as honest men and women with justice
and impartiality." There are many
plans spoken OF for obtaining this end.
1t has been suggested that the most
feasible plan would be to call a mass
meeting for a general exchange of ideas
and an honest endesvor to place such
names before the voters with regard to
party affiliations as will receive the
commentator of all on the day Of
election.

Weyler Building Notifications, as Though

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 1S.-Passengers
by last nights steamer from Havana state
that rumors of fighting near the trocha
were rife in Havana yesterday. The move
ments of troops in the streets were more
frequent than usual, indicating important
operations under way. The reports in
Havana that Maceo is not dead have be-
wildered the people, All the newspapers
state that this matter must be sfted out
and settled at once. They call upon the
officials to have Maceo's and young Co.
mez's bodies exhumed and brought into
the city for Identification. All the papers
say that the present sensational acts and
rumors injure the Spanish cause. Cubans
are still divided in opinion, though the
general belief is that Maceo is dead
Gomez is advancing westward, but ow-
ing to strict censorship over the telegraph
lines and the espionage over all American
correspondents in Havana 1t is difficult to
get reliable news. 1t is known that the
officials feel greatly worried over the state
of affairs around Matanzas, but whether
it Is Gomez or Rivera who is operating
there Is hard to determine
Many new Notifications have been built
in the city, and Weyler seems to be pre-
pairing for n siege, This action naturally
awakens suspicion and worries the resi-
dents greatly over the situation. The
news of the departure Of another expedi-
ton from the Florida coast for Cuba has
caused the Spanish newspapers to raise
another howl against the Americans and
their policy Of surreptitously aiding those
whom they don't dare to help in the open.
