TRANSVAAL TROUBLES
The Natives Preparing for an Ext.n,i We
Uprising


CAPE TOWN, April 14.-News has
been received here that the natives
are preparing to rise along the Trans
vaal border A rising in Northern
Transvaal itself is also reported to be
imminent. There is something of Il
panic manifest among the Burghers,
who have appealed for arms with which
to protect themselves The threatened
spread of the disturbance along the
Transvaal border makes the situation
at Buluwayo and in Matabeleland
much more serious. The authorities
felt that Buluwayo was reasonably safe
and if the food supply should hold out,
but the danger has been that the Mata-
beles would stop the wagon roads
through the Matopo hills and to the
south and thus prevent supplies from
getting through from Mafeking.
Only part of the 500 reinforcements
designed for Buluwayo have been dis
patched from Mafekng, the nearest
point available for that purpose. 1t
takes four weeks hard travelling by OK
wagons to reach Puluwayo from there.
an it is said the journey cannot be done
in that time except with very light
loads. Transportation of supplies of
ammunition, which are needed at this
time in Matabeleland must therefore
be slow, and the new developments in
the situation threaten to cut off or at
least to interrupt communication be-
twen Buluwayo and the only source to
which it can look for a renewal of it's
supplies
1t has been discovered that some OF
the Matabeles who are employed as
servants here have been acting as spies
and conveying information of the
movements of the expeditions to their
friends in outlying districts One of
these traitorous natives was shot today.

OF COURSE THE BABY CRIED
Equally of Course the Boy Was Badly
Scared
A San Francisco Boy Ba by Put Into q
Satchei and Thrown Out on .
Vacant Lot

SAN FRANCISCO, April 14.-John
Swift, an 11-year-old lad, found baby
boy not over two or three hours old
in all old hand-satchel in an empty lot
on Twelfth street near Mission this
morning.
The boy saw the old valise, picked it
up and found it was heavy. He gave
il a toss in the air, catching it in his
hands as it came down. On the second
toss a faint cry issued from the valise
and the boy opened it. He was almost
too fright ned to scream at what he
saw. There was live, crying infant,
wrapped in a dirty hand towel. Swift
laid the child carefully on the ground
and then ran screaming down the
street Passers-by saw the boy run
ming and heard him shouting "a baby!
A baby" Policeman Connolly stopped
the lad and learned of the strange find.
The officer took the baby to the receiv-
ing hospital
DR.. We'll made an examination of the
infant and came to the conclusion that
the little fellow had been born only a
few hours before he was found. Not
withstanding his unceremonious in
PRODUCTION into the world, the child was
lusty and rather pretty. Later in the
afternoon the child was removed to the
st. Joseph's orphan asylum. DR.. We'll
notified the police, and Detective Byram
was instructed to find if possible the in
human mother who turned out her Off
spring in such a heartless manner. He
spent several hours in the search, but
gave up the task later. A further effort
will be made by watching the registry
of births, but the condition in which
the child was found indicated that no
physician had been called to attend to
the mother. who, perhaps, wished thus
to dispose of the evidence of her shame.

Bay CITY DISQUALIFIED

SAN FRANCISCO, April 14.-At a
special meeting of the road racing COM
mittee of the California Associated Cy-
cling clubs. it was decided to disqualify
the Bay City wheelmen, the winners of
last Sundays 100-mile relay race. 1t
is alleged that the Bay City clubs rep
rcsentatives on the sixth and seventh
relays changed the packet outside the
proper lines. 1t is claimed by the riders
that they changed the packet within
bounds and their statement is upheld by
two of the judges who were standing
near the flag but the referee claims
otherwise, and the racing committee
has decided with him. This decision
gives the cup to the Garden City cyclers
who finished second in the race. The
Bay City wheelmen will protest against
the decision of the board.
