TRANSVAAL SENSATION.
Eight Former British Officers AR
rested and Locked Up.
CHARGED WITH HIGH TREASON.

II Is Alleged That They Had Already
Enlisted Two Thousand Men to Join
I'm a Rebellion Against the Trans
vaal Republic at a Given signal.
Pretoria. Transvaal, May 17.-The
arrest at johannesburg yesterday OF
eight former British officers on
charge of high treason has caused
great excitement here. The men ar
rested are Captain Patterson, formerly
bf the Lancers; Colonel r. f. Nichols,
Lieutenant e. ]. Tremlott, Lieutenant
C. A. Ellis. lately private detective
at johannesburg; Lieutenant John AL
len Mitchell formerly of the Horse ar
tillery; former Sergeant J. Fries, R.
p. Hooper and - Nichols. None
of them has been in the employ Of
the British South Africa Chartered
company. The prisoners were brought
to Pretoria by special train. After
they had been lodged in Jail they were
visited by the British diplomatic
agent here.
The charge against the prisoners is
that, while staying in the Rand pri-
vately, they were really engaged in
enlisting men for the purposes of re-
bellion when they were ready TO give
the signal. It is said that the enlist
ment roster included 1000 men, and
thac number of discriminating docu-
ments were found at the time the ar
rests were made.
1t is asserted that the officers already
arrested we're also preparing to organ
ize a corps in Natal, the British colony
between the Orange Free State and the
indian ocean. to assist the projected
movement at Johannesburg.
! The arrests were effected by a de-
tective who Joined the movement,
which, It is asserted, was for the pur-
pose of enrolling men in order to cause
an outbreak of rebellion.
It is said that the commissioner OF
police, who had the affair in hand,
had been working up the case for four
months, Mr.. Beatty, the detective who
effected the arrests, received his in
structions last week, and secured the
necessary warrants on Monday. Fur
ther warrants have been issued.
The British agent and charge daft
faires, Mr.. Conyngham Green, had an
Interview with President Kruger yes
terday afternoon, and expressed regret
that men who had worn the queens
uniform should be concerned in such
a movement. President Kruger re-
plied that he would not believe the
prisoners were British officers until 1t
had been proved, adding that he hoped
the affair would not interfere with the
proposed meeting between himself and
Sir Alfred Mines, governor of Cape
Colony and British high commissioner
for South Africa.

Cattle Feeding company, was a witt
ness before the industrial commission

that one distillery at Nebraska City,
Neb,, had been sold for $10,O 900 at pri-
vate sale, and later was bought by the
Distilling and Cattle Feeding company
for $4,000 There was another case
in which one who was later an officer
of the company had purchased distill-
cry and sold it to the company for
S2S0O00 more than he gave for It,
These and other things resulted In the

She finally discovered way to recovery, by
