HAM MOND'S STORY
Puts New Light on jameson's Connection
With Uiilanders' Revolt.

New York Sept. Ga long inter
view has been had with Mr.. John
Hays Hammond, the American engi-
neer who was a prominent member Of
the reform committee in Johannes
burg. which invited DR.. jameson 60
come to their assistance. and which
then left him to fight his way there
unsupported.
Mr.. Hammond gives few Of the cir
cumstances which puts a different
complexion on the affair from any yet
published. He says that when the
Uitlanders first settled in Johannes
burg the revenue of the country was
barely able to support it. and emf
grants were warmly welcomed.
At that time the understanding was
that after a residence of five years
they could enter into the full rights OF
citizenship. But when the gold seek
crs grew in numbers a new law was
made. which required fifteen years
residence and the renunciation of allie
glance to any other country OF
sovereign.
He goes on to detail the many griev
ances under which the Uitlanders suf-
fored, and in consequence they en-
deavorcd to upset the Boer govern
ment. When they had made their ar
rangements for general insurrec-
ton they asked Jameson If he would
aid them, and he readily agreed to dc
so. He was to wait instructions, and
he got them. But Mr.. Hammond says
he also got letter requesting post
ponement, and this he declined to act
upon.
Mr. Hammond is pictured as a here
for returning to Jail after being per-
mitted out on bail. while on the re-
verse side is DR.. Jameson accusing the
Uitlanders of being towards, and al
most at the same time hosting tbs
white flag OF surrender.
There are a good many figures in the
story and q very great deal Of matter
which has for some time been common
