CAMERA FIENDS BARRED.
TWO REASONS FOR KEEPING THEM OUT OF
THE GEOLOGICAL PARK.

The recent ruling Of the Board OF directors OF
the New-York Geological Park that no one should

given rise to considerable comment and speculation

stringent rule ". ". Niles. jr who is one or the
directors said yesterday that the rule was meant
for the safety OF the public.

William T. Rornaday says as an additional rea-

REUSED AT KRUEGER'S THREAT
DEMAND FOR RELEASE OF ALLEGED SPY
CAUSES REQUESTS FOR REPRIsAL.


London. Nov. 14.-Nothing is known either at
the War Office or the Colonial Office here re-
garding the alleged official statement from Cape
Town saying that State Secretary Reitz in be-
half Of the Transvaal Government has de-
nanded that General White Immediately release
Nathan Marks. supposed spy who is confined
st Ladysmth, adding that President KRUGER
threatens, If Marks is executed. to retaliate by
shooting six British officers in the hands Of the
Beers. 1t is further asserted from Cape Town
that Marks entered Ladysmth. after the In
vestment Of that place. with the supposed object
( OF obtaining information for the Beers and one
version Of the story is that the Tranevaal au-
thorities have threatened TO execute six British
officers If the supposed spy is not released, to
which General Butler is said to have replied
that the British were entitled TO retain the man
until he should render a satisfactory account
Of himself. Both etories. It is asserted. bear the
imprint Of improbability, as there is no reason
to think the Beers would be guilty Of such
complete change from their previous correct
attitude and manner of conducting the HOSTILE
ties Nevertheless. the sensational afternoon
newspapers here are already demanding that
President Kruger and all the members Of the
Executive Council be ruthlessly hanged the
only fitting reprisa IN the event Of State Sec
rotary Reitz's threat being carried out
That General Whites relief is considered a
matter Of pressing Importance is again shown
by the satisfaction with which the officials
heard OF the arrival Of the transport Armenian
at Cape Town yesterday a couple Of days be-
fore her time. The non arrival Of her precious
freight Of field guns and ammunition threatened
serious delay in General Methuen's arrange
,nents for the relief of General White IL is true
that the First Division still lacks cavalry but
in all probability the first arrivals Of that arm
at Cape Town will be sent TO Durham, irrespec-
tive OF which division they were originally as
signed 10. There is no doubt that the lombard

The allegations Of Father Matthews have
made painful impression, and there is a dis
position TO discredit them being merely the
excited view OF non-combatant ignorant OF
real military requirements. Nevertheless his
story has added immensely to the anxiety OF
those who had relatives at the battle at Nichol-
sons Mex. as they now have the dread OF dis
honoring exposure.

last evening lie said that far as he had been

In this city out of the control Of Tammany Hall
and prevent the OF police power against Re-

Tammany politicians have been disturbed by re-
ports OF coming police legislation and there have
been consultations at the Democratic Club to
methods for wardng off such legislation. Possibly
with the hope OF turning Republican leaders away
from the contemplation Of a State constabulary
bill somebody yesterday revived rumor that Chief
