No Details of the Nature Of the Com

Case Has Yet Been Re-
ceived Here.

Washington, April 30.--Secretary
0lney having, on the 2sth instant, tele-
graphed the Secretary Of State of the
South African Republic to the effect
that it was assumed that the death SEN
tence of Hammond and other American
citizens would be commuted, and that
he would like to have assurance on that
point, was answered this morning by
the TransyaaI Secretary of State as fol-
lows:
"There was no talk of an understand
ing between judge and government be-
fore the sentence of death was pro-
nounced, but before the reception of
your telegram, the Executive Council
had resolved to let mercy take the place
OF justice, and nOt TO enfores tbe death
penalty"
No details of the nature of the com
mutation Of sentence IN HammOnd's
case has yet reached the State depart
ment, and it is supposed that the
Council has not gone further up to this
time chan to announce the fact.
The information made public is Of
special interest as showing that the

London, April 30.-The Secretary Of
State for the Colonies, Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, announced in the House
of Commons this afternoon that he has
received the following dispatch from
Sir Jacobus A. De Wett, the agent of
the British government at Pretoria:
The Beers themselves condemn
severity and are petitioning for a nit
igation or a free pardon.
a despatch TO the Times from Pre-
toria says that the reformers pleaded
guilty, owing to the fact that their
counsel advised them to do SO in the
face of the mass of incriminating ev-
idence, in the shape of letters. tele-
grams and codes, found in the des-
patch box of the Jameson party, which
fell into the hands of the government.
Under the stances, Sc IS added,
this was the safest course to follow.
A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph,
gives the substance of an interview
held with President Kruger, i'm which
he said that he had scotched the death
sentence at once to show that after the
law had been yindicated there was no
vindictive personal feeling on the part
of himself or the government, He be-
lieved, he said, that the governments
decision would be announced before
the NOlksraad meets on Monday. The
Executive Council would find difficulty,
he thought, i'm classifying the offend
ers, with whom they intend to deal, on
a sliding scale.
1t is rumored that President Kruger
has received a personal cable dispatch
from President Cleveland with refer
ence to John Hays Hammond.
Much information tonight is that
the outlook is hopeful for a majority
of the offenders.

CRIPPLE CREEK NOW HOMELESS.
After the Fire Wednesday Night Snow
Began TO Fall.

Cripple Creek, Col, April 30.-Thou-
sands of homeless people shiyered a
bout camp fires or wandered among
the runs of this once prosperous city
through the night. The cold was Sc
we're and toward morning snow began
10 fall
During the night for a distance Of
mile to the right and left, the burn
ing embers, presented sight most
incompatible. Standing on the hill
beyond the burned district and to the
West, the picture was one of huge
bowl, with the steam arising above.
Everywhere along the thoroughfares
can be seen the work OF the dynamite,
a great mass of kindling wood. A COM
pany Of Colorado National Guards is
on duty i'm the unburned district.
Numerous arrests have been made
in the outside district, a resort of the
vagrant element which lately has in
tested Cripple Creek. All night fires
were starting up occasionally on the
placer. Where possible the residents
pulled the houses down, and if that
failed, blew them up. They had no
water in that portion Of the city.
The total loss is estimated at $780,
900. The insurance will probably foot
up between 100000, and 100000.
