ARRESTS At PRETORIA
London Consul of the Transvaal Re
public Officially Advised Of
Tuesdays Arrests.
The STORY TOLD BY THE PRISONERS.
They Were to Create n Revolution,
Sieze Johannesburg Fort and
Hold Possession Until British
Troops from Natal Could Come to
Their Assistance.

London, May 1S.-The consul of the
Transvaal here has received the fol-
lowing telegram from his government,
dated Pretoria, May 16:
The Men Arrested.
"Richard Nichols, decrlbing himself
as a colonel; George Paterson, a cap
tain: Edward J. Tremlett, Charles FL
lis and John A. Mitchell, and Fries and
Cooper, were arrested yesterday morn
ing on the sworn declaration of three
EnglIshmen, on the charge of high
treason in eoneetion with the alleged
object of the enrolment of troops to
create a revolution, seize Johannes
burg fort and hold possession of the
town until the British troops from
Natal could come to their assistance.
A Prisoners Assertion.
"One of the prisoners alleges that
he was acting under instructions from
the British war department.
A press representative saw a number
of prominent South Africans connect
ed with the leading concerns of Jo-
hannesburg. They declared they had
not received word from their own
agents in Cape Colony, the absence of
adyices indicating that the affair was
"trumped up by the Boer police, and
that in any case the men arrested were
irresponsible nobodies, with fictitious
military titles affixed by the Beers,
with the object of discrediting the
British in the eyes of the continental
powers.
Their Antecedents.
l. is now believed Tremlett was for
merly captain of volunteers in Cape
Colony, and that he is now mining
agent; Patterson is described as a
butcher and labor agitator; Mitchell
is said to be storekeeper; Cooper is
cIassed as carpenter; Ellis is alleged
to be "A private detective, and the oc-
cupations of Fries and Nicholl are
unknown.
A UitIander's Opinion.
A prominent UTitlander said to the
press representative: my OWN view
is that a few irresponsible men met
together to discuss means of defense
in case the necessity for such action
arose. Those who are acquainted
with Johannesburg know that such
precautions are necessary. There was
the greatest unrest and ferment there
when | left. But the statement that
there has been a conspiracy during the
past four months, and that the South
African league was connected with 1t,
is untrue. No Uitlander is allowed to
possess a rifle, yet at every corner are
policemen armed with rifles and re-
volvers. The feeling of alarm on the
arrival of the Boer artillery can be
conceived.
A significant Fact.
81 is a significant fact that the men
arrested are practically unknown,
showing that the feeling which, in
1895, was limited to the capitalist
class, has gone lower down, and has

give "a description of it and the
emotions it awakens-but who can
paint forms OF light. 1t was magic,
allowing mortals to see her children
the water nymphs-at their even
ing play.
1t was Sousa' band playing to
eye instead of ear. The octave OF
colors was run through all musical
combinations by some master hand
at a water beaten keyboard There
was diminuendo and creshando Of
pellucil forms and colors. The
evening stars sang in the trans
luscent chorus.
1t was imagination incarnated. 1t
was the rainbow's carnival, whittier

stars, and satellites, and flashing
meteors, and amethysts, and dia-
monds and pearls were invited to
come and dance the minuet, the
waltz, the schottische, the two.step,
the double shuttle and the break

of the pleiades ordered all the
changes. 1t was the ravishment of
the highest physical sense. Sight

Yet'all was the handiwork of man.
Surely man is the image of God; for
if he had the resources Of God he
would do God work after Him as
well as think His thoughts after
Him.
But oh! the resources Of God. His
hand had wiped the dust of day from
the face of evening while we were
thus engaged, and five miles above
us had silently hung tapestry of
fieecy clouds, woven in the loom of
the sky from the wool of dew and
the warp of mist-a pattern of some
heavenly adjournment. 1t was so ex-
quisitcly draped on the shafts Of
twilight that the half moon could
throw its pale quiet light upon it to
the most enthralling advantage.
Here was hallowcd loveliness that
minietered directly to the spirit of
man, from the nearness of God.
Yet these are but parts of his ways.

In That Camp.


T. S. Coffey, who is associated with
King, Burton & King and Dr. Harvey
in the ownership of the Monitor mine
in the Stateline district, came up from
the south yesterday. He reports the
Monitor as looking very encouraging
at the present time, and in the bottom
of the new thirty-five-foot shaft a vein
of gold ore had been disclosed, which
carries very gratifying values. Recent
assays taken gave returns of over 800
to the ton. The district in general is
quite active at the present time, Mr..
Coffey states, and at the Independence
mine, which was recently freed from
litigation, sinking continues in the
shaft, which has reached the depth of
14o feet.
Francis & Holland are developing the
Jumbo shaft, which is also being put
down, and everything there looks fav-
orable to the finding of good ore
The Amethyst, another promising
property, is showing up satisfactory re-
suits. The shaft On that property is
down about seventy-five feet, and a
cross-cut has been run for distance
of about sixty feet to cut the vein
