THE STRIKES IN BUFFALO.
Grain ShoveIers Now Out in Sympatll
With Other Strikers.

Grain ShoveIers Now Out in sympathy
with Other strikers.
Buffalo, May l7.-There was no
change in the situation along the docks
yesterday. The elevators, crippled by
the sympathetic strike of the monthly
men, did little work But three ele-
vators the City, Erie and Northern,
were operated. Contractor Corners,
however, says men to run the ele-
vators can be secured.
Complications in the strike situa-
ton render it impossible to forecast
settlement at an early dste. The grain
shovelers, under their agreement to
remain out until the demands of the
freight handlers, coal beavers and ore
handlers are met. are unable to accept
the latest concessions made by Con-
tractor Corners. Yesterday Mr.. Con-
ners agreed that all men now working
for him who were members of the old
grain shovelers' union must affiliate
with the new union, that the officers Of
the new union would be permitted to
retain their Offices, and that he would
give work only to such men as might
lie sent to him by Mr.. Donovan, the
new inspector appointed by Bishop
Quigley.
Bishop Quigly said last night that
this agreement removed the last OBJ.
stacle in the way of a satisfactory set
Element, and that so soon as the other
strikes were settled the grain shovel
srs would return to work.

SENSATION IN LONDON.
Plot Said to Have Been Maturing For
Four Months.

Plot Said to Have Been Maturing For
Four Months.
London, May 17.-The advices from
Johannesburg are probably connected
with q mysterious dispatch received at
Johannesburg from Pretoria on May H..
saying special train fully equipped
with Boer artillerymen, guns and Il
Bearchlight apparatus were being held
in readiness at the capital of the
Transvaal The statement was then
declared to be without Significance,
but today's news throws more seri-
GUS light on the movement, and it Is
certain there will be a great sensa-
tion in London when the news of the
arrests becomes generally known.
The news has caused great excite
ment throughout South Africa. The
Standard and Diggers News, the Beers
organ in London, has a dispatch from
Pretoria which says that the warrants
were issued Monday evening by tn,
state attorney and were executed at
midnight. The dispatch adds that
plot or rebellion is alleged to have
been maturing for four months, ant
that the accused, who are said to have
been engaged by the South African
League, had already enlisted 1000 men.
Cecil Rhodes, the former premier OF
Cape Colony and resident director in
South Africa of the British Chartered
South Africa company, informs the
press that he has heard nothing re-
garding the arrests made at Johannes
burg, and that he knows nothing about
the reason for which they were made

TRANSVAAh SENSATION.
Eight Former British Officers Ar
rested and Locked Up.
CHARGED WITH HIGH TREASON.

1t Is Alleged That They Had Already
Enlisted Two Thousand Mon to Join
in o Rebellion Against the Trans
vaal Republic at q Given Signal.
Pretoria. Transvaal, May 1.-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
of the Lancers; Colonel r. F. Nichols,
Lieutenant e. J. 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 we're 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. 1t is said that the enlist
ment roster included 1900 men, and
that number Of discriminating docu-
ments were found at the time the ar
rests were made.
1t is asserted that the officers already

The arrests were effected by de-

which, 1t is asserted was for the pur-
pose of enrolling men in order to cause
an outbreak of rebellion.
It 10 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 tho
necessary warrants on Monday. Fur
Their warrants have been issued.
The British agent and charge DAT
flares, 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-
piled that he would not believe the
prisoners were British offic rs until it
had been proved, adding that he hoped
the affair would not interfere with the
proposed meeting between himself and

Colony and British high commissioner
for South Africa. So, lgiata

CUBAN PROSPERITY.

General Wood Found Encouraging
Conditions in Santiago Province.
Santiago de Cuba, May 17.-Major
General Leonard Wood, military gov
ernor of the Santiago department, ar
rived here Monday after his first trip
into the interior of the province. He
went to Maazanillo by steamer, but
returned by the overland route, ac-
companied by Lieutenant Matthew
Hanna, his aide.
The country traversed he found in "A
greatly prosperous condition. The
planters are planting cane and expect
full crop next year. Stories regard
ing bandits seem for the most part to
have been promoted by professional
politicians who have an interest in
maintaining disturbing conditions.
Everywhere General Wood found
the people anxious for greater security,
and the annexation idea Is undoubted-
ly growing, in spite of all efforts on the
part of agitators to the contrary.
Along the whole route he was re-
ceived with enthusiasm, and at several
points with very elaborate arrange
ments to welcome him.
