Olney that all the prisoners were out on
pardon except Hammond whose case

Jameson to come to johannesburg in
case OF the extreme peril. Jameson
marched towards Johannesburg how
ever before the trouble arose. When

other leaders issued proclamations call
ing on the people to refrain from hostil-
ity. Instead of exciting rebellion,

Transvsll flag, and all his movements
were allegiance. Clement and other
Americans took arms from many and
sent them home. Not a shot was fred
by Johannesburg party. There was
no disturbance, mgr a single act OF hosti-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-Captsin Gen
eral Marin cabled today from Havana to
Minister Dupuy de LONE, saying that
it is believed that Jose Maceo's insurg-
ent band has been located east of the
Conto river, province OF Santiago de
Cuba, and that Rabi was wounded. This
is regarded as OF special i'm portauce, as
the army Of Maceo and Rabi has been
depended upon by the Insurgents to
support Gomez in Havana province.
Maceo's position on the Couto river is
said to be such that it will take him
thirty dsys to reach Gomez even if un-
opposed. The wounding of Rabi is be-
lieved to cripple his division, leaving
Gomez alone TO stand the Spanish forces
with the purpose of closing in on him.
The dispatch also announces the killing
of the Mexicap, which is believed to
refer to Garcia, formerly of Texas, who
has been foremost in burning planta
tions.
