CECIL RHODES AS A. WITNESS
The South AfrIccH MagnGte. Tells of the
Circumstances Leading Up to the
7r1HsvQdf Raid

LONDON, ENG. Feb. 16.-The Parlia-
mentary Committee recently appointed
by the House of Commons to inquire into
the causes and circumstances of the
troubles in the Transvaal began its sit
tings to-day.
Cecil Rhodes was the first witness ex-
amined. He was in sympathy with the
UitIanders in their grievances, and TO as
sist movement designed to obtain for
them their constitutional rights he had
placed on the Transvaal, under orders of
DR.. jameson, force of troops, with in
structions to act should certain events
arise.
At this point Sir William Harcourt in
terrupted Rhodes and asked: WAS your
object to overthrow the Transvaal Gov
ernment?"
Mr.. Rhodes replied that the overthrow
of the Government was not his object, but
merely to bring about change. BE ad-
| mitted the probability of his having done
wrong in placing DIR. Jameson, with his
men, on the frontier, but Jameson's in
vasion of the Transvaal he was not re-
sponsible for, as Jameson had gone into
the Boer territory without his (Rhodes')
authority.

HAVANA, CUBA, Feb. 16.-Much ad'
verse comment has been excited even
among Spaniards here by the fact that the
House of Refuge is the only place in the
city in which women prisoners are kept.
The Diario de la Marina to-day denoun-
ces the place and declares it an outrage
that women OF high social standing who
are arrested on suspicion of having rebel
sympathies are compelled to associate
with the class of women for which the
prison is intended. There are only forty
two cells in the place and yet seventy
four women are confined there.

LONDON, Eng, FEB. I6.-A dispatch
from Athens to the Evening News says
that Greek troops have LANDED at the bay
of Kolymhari.
Colonel Vassos, the commander of the
Greek forces in Crete, has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation:
"Cretans: You are suffering from the
present state of anarchy and are exposed to
the excesses of fanati cal populace which
have awakened the national sentiment
and have deeply stirred the Hellenic peo-
pie. This lamentable situation of a peo-
pie OF the same race and the same religion,
having common destinies with ourselves,
coulo not any longer be allowed 10 exist.
The King of the Hellenes has resolved to
end this state of things by proclaiming
Greek occupation of the island.
'In making this proclamation promise
in the name of King George to protect the
lives, honor and property of the inhabi-
tants without distinction of religion or ma
tionality and to respect the religious con-
vlctions of the inhabitants while bringing
to them peace and law"

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 16.-A dis
patch to the Sun from Havana says: In
tense excitement has been produced in
Havana over an editorial published in El
Pals, in Madrid, on January %, and which
which has circulated widely in spite OF the
efforts of the police, who, by orders of the
Governor of the province, are seizing all
the copies they can find OF this issue OF
the Spanish newspaper. Photographic
copies of the page containing the article
and even manuscript copies pass from
hand to hand.
The article. after saying that the nation
has failed in Cuba, notwithstanding the
fact that Spain has sent 100000 men
to the island and has spent one billion
pesetas, concludes that in the present crit
ical situation Spain must confess her de-
own Government,u upon which rests the re-
sponsibility.
"Our only hope" says the article,
rests upon our diplomacy in the q nited
States, but if we also fail in that field, as
the indications are that We will, we have

national revolution"

ATHENS, GREECE. Feb. 16.-The Cretan
Christians are wild with delight over the
manner in which Greece has come to
their aid. When the Greek troops landed
on the island they were received with the
greatest enthusiasm, men, women and
children hailing them as deliverers from
their long bondage to the hated Turks.
Everywhere the deepest anxiety was
displayed to swear loyalty to King George,
the Christians taxing it for granted that
they zwere. 10 become at once subjects OF
the King of the Heilenes.
The temper of the people is such that
they would scarcely hesitate to undertake
the foolhardy task of defying the COM
bined powers in their efforts to secure
their liberty.
LONDON, ENGLAND, Feb l6.-The Daily
Mail will say tomorrow that the powers
have sent collective note to Greece stat
ing that unless the Grecian forces are
withdrawn from Crete within forty-eight
hours the Pi aeus will be bIockaded and

FAN TO SEE THE MAJOR.
Several Prominent Public Men Deprived of
the Pleasure of Intervening the
President Elect

CANTON, OHIO. Feb. 16.-Ex-Senator
Warner Miller of New York, after await
ing the physicians verdict, was compelled
to forego the pleasure OF seeing the Presi-
dent-elect. There are various reasons as
signed for Mr.. Miller's visit to Canton.
That most generally accepted is that he
proposed TO make some statement regard
ing the chances OF New York man being
proffered Cabinet portfolio. In CONVEX
sation with friends, it is said, he stated
that the Empire State would probably be
without a representative in the Presi-
dents official family. To the press repre-
sentatives he declined to discuss the Cab
met situation.
Another view, and it appears a very
sensible one, is that Mr.. Miller intended
to urge Major. Mckinley to recommend
the passage of the Nicaragua canal bill in
his message to Congress at the special ses-
sion. Whatever his intention was, he
was unsuccessful in his mis- ion.
The President-elect remained in his
room all day, and was seen by no one ex-
cept mother Mckinley and the members
of his own household. He will not 60 to

NEW YORK, n. Y, Feb 16.-A World
special from Key West says: The dyna-
mite gun General Maceo thought so much
of has been doing remarkable work again.
Letters from Candelaria, PInar del Rio,
report it could not be used lately, as the
ammunition was out, but an expedition
just came with new supply.
A detac ment of 700 Spaniards under
Colonel Sanchez attacked one of General
Goriano's camps last weeE, hoping to cap
ture the gun. 1t was known to be slowed
there, and the Spaniards had heard there
was no ammunition for it. The insurgents
were well protected by intrenchments,
and knew the enemy's plans. AS the
Spanish troops advanced the insurgents
met them with rapid fire of musketry
and then retreated. as if in disorder, up a
narrow gorge to a second net of works.
The Spaniards, thinking victory was
within their grasp rushed forward, de-
spite the orders of their officers, who sus-
pected trap. No sooner had they fairly
entered the cul de sac than the dynamite
gun opened on them.
The first she'll killed dozens in the front
rank. A second shot did still more dam

UNION, Mo-, Feb. 16.-Arthur Duestrow
was hanged in the Franklin County Jail
at 1 O. clock to-day. The condemned man,
who has simulated insanity since the day
OF the crime, kept up his role until late
last evening.
He arose shortly after o'clock this
morning, and for the first time in three
years he broke down and his usual air of
naughty Indifference gave way to one of
despair. He begged the guards to save
MIN from his fate, and requested that
messages be sent to Governor Stephens in
terceding in his behalf. To nearly every
visitor and attendant Duestrow appealed
for assistance, and asked that the follow
ing telegram be sent to Ex-Governor john
son, his coun: et, in st. Louis:

on his cot and gave way to burst of
tears. He sobbed convulsively and cried
out frequently, 80, Godl This is terri

Shortly before o'clock the Sheriff noti-

announced that all was in readiness for

No Fighting Occurs, the Gar

Invaders.
WARLIK PREPARATIONS MADE
WITH DISPATCH.
King G orge's Army of Occupation at
Crete Proceeds, Regardless of
European Powers.

ATHENS GREECE Feb. 16.-The first
definite news of a Greek victory in Crete
was received this evening and the widest
enthusiasm followed the intelligence.
The Greeks, it is said attacked and
captured Fort Aghai, taking 400 MussuI-
mans prisoners. Among the number are
100 Turkish troops, the remainder of the
prisoners being Moslems who took refuge
in the fort.
Details of the engagement are lacking.
One report states that no fighting oc-
CURED, the garrison surrendering upon
the demand OF the Greek commander. As
no mention OF any losses is made IN any
OF The dispatches it is surmlsed that this
report is true.
Notwithstanding the reports that the
powers would take concerted action to
prevent Greece from taking further hostile
action in Crete, warlike preparations are
being made with all possible dispatch. In
addition 10 the corps of occupation"
already in the island, which corps num-
bers 1900 men of all arms, one other regi-
ment embarked upon a transport and
sailed for Crete tonight. Another regi-
ment will sail thlther tomorrow.
The Govern ment is preparing for every
possible contingency and has summoned
two classes of the naval reserve for active
service.
D: The people are in frenzy of excitement
and demand that the, Cretan question be
settled now for all time. 1t is popularly
thought that when the powers find the
annexation of the island, which Greece
has in view, an accomplished fact, they
will readily acquiesce in this spoliation of
the Turk.
Advices received here from Crete say
that none of the foreign warships in
Cretan waters have landed any men, ex-
= cept al Canea. As the Greek troops that
landed at Akrotiri were not hindered by
the powers in disem barking, it is con-
sdered that the powers recognize the right
Of Greece TO intervene in Crete.
CANEA. CRETE, Feb. 16.-GeneraI Bor,
commanding tue gendarmerie at Canea,
formally notified Colonel Vassus, COM
manding the Greek troups, of the joint
occupation of Crete by The powers. To
this notification the Greek colonel re-
piled: 81 am ordered to occupy the isl

All business at Canea has been sus-

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 16-Miss
Clara Barton and George H. Pullman OF
the Red Cross Society came to New York
from Washington this morning. They
are at the Waldorf and will remain sew
eral days. The object of their visit is to
confer with officers and friends of the So
cieiy on private matters pertaining 10 the
organization. Miss Barton has been very
busy OF late since returning from the
scene of the outrages in the East, and it is
possible that the present disturbance in
Crete will call Cor active field work by Red
