NJ Iuch Excitement Caused by an Earthly
Disturbance.

Hartford, May 16.-Much excitement
was caused in sections of this city
shortly before S:15 o'clock tonight by
what is believed to be an earthquake
shock. Residences in the elevated por-
tons of the city were perceptibly
shaken, dishes ratified on shelves, and a
rumbling noise suggestive of a heavy
explosion was distinctly heard. 1t was
the opinion that there was an explosion
and the local newspaper offices were de-
luged with telephone enquiries as to
where it took place. but as no explosion
took place the disturbance was un-
doubtedly the result of an earthquake
shock. Reports Of like occurrences come
from Middletown, East Hampton, and
other points along the Connecticut river
as far as Saybrook. Many people rush
ed from their houses thoroughly fright
ened. No damage is reported, however,
from any of the places where the shock
was felt. The shock was not felt east
of Hartford nor in any other portion of
the state excepting towns along the
Connecticut river.

assessing or COLLEGE PROPERTY.
Cnse of Amherst Trustees Against Town
ofAmherst ReOpened.

Boston, May 16.-The full bench of the
supreme court to-day ordered a new
trial in the case Of the trustees Of Am
herst college against the assessors of
the town of Amherst, holding that the
judge who presided at the trial of the
case in the superior court was wrong in
ruling that the house of the college
president was exempt from taxation by
the public statutes. The supreme court
says that in view of the fact that the
president lived in the house with his
family, paid rent to the college and
water rates, paid for the care of the
grounds and paid the inside expenses, it
is impossible to say, as matter of law,
that the case is not within the courts
decision of the case of Williams college
vs.. Williamstown given a few days ago.

In the Trnnsvnal.

London May 16-Joseph Chamberlain,
secretary of state for the colonies, who
was interviewed in the lobby of the
house of common this evening, said he
had heard nothing officially regarding
the arrests in the Transvaal and did
not think that too serious significance
ought to be attached to them. No infor-
nation had reached him from South

in any way to anticipate or explain the
arrests. The news caused considerable
excitement among the members of the
house, but little disposition was mani
Tested to credit the rumors of rebel

Eight Former Officers of the British

| Pretoria, May 16,-Eight officers in
stead of seven, as previously cabled,

r. F. Nichols, Lieutenant E. j. Trem-
lott, Lieutenant C. A. Ellis, lately a
private detective at Johannesburg;

Beatty, the detective who effected the
arrests, received his instructions last
week and secured the necessary war
rants yesterday. He Joined the move
ment which, it is asserted, was for the
purpose of enrolling men in order to
cause an outbreak of rebellion Incrim-
mating documents were found upon the
prisoners and it is expected that further
arrests will be made. The prisoners

great sensation.
The British agent and charge daft
faires, Conyngham Greene, had an in
terview with President Kruger this af-
ternoon and expressed regret that men
who had worn the queens uniform
should be concerned in such a move
ment. President Kruger replied that
he would not believe the prisoners were
British officers until it had been proved,
adding that he hoped the affair would
not interfere with the proposed meeting
between himself and Sir Alfred Miner,
governor of Cape Colony and British
high commissioner for South Africa.

men have been arrested here on tha
charge of high treason. Further war

ipg to open corps in Natal, the British
colony between the Orange Free State
and the Indian ocean, to assist the pro-
jected movement at johannesburg.
Cape Town, May 16.-According to ad- |
vices from Pretoria, the charge against |
the prisoners is that while staying in |
the country privately, they were really |
engaged in enlisting men for the pur
poses of rebellion when they were ready |
to give the signal. 1t is said that the |
roster included 1000 men and |
that number of incriminating docu
ments were found at the time the arrests
