ent of the Tribune, telegraphs an inter-
view he has just had with Mr.. Fischer,
one of the Boer peace commissioners, who
arrived there yesterday.
Mr.. Fischer sad he was convinced that
Sir Alfred Miner when appointed Gov
ernor of Cape Colony and British high
commissioner in South Africa, went to
Cape Town with a fixed intention, with a
mission to bring about the war, and this
was proved by the fact that Miner had
Systematically opposed the Transvaaf =

CASSIE BOAN MURDER CASE.
Has Gone to the Jury and Early YER
dict Is Expected.

Charleston, S. c., April 1.-THE Cassie
Boan murder case on trial at Chesterfield.
this state, has gone to the jury and a
verdict is expected tonight.
The attorneys for the defense were so
elated over the weakness of the testimony
given by one of the four accused men
who turned states evidence that they
put up no witnesses.
Solicitor Johnson for the state was at
his best. The line of defense Is that the
woman was drunk fell in the fire and
thus caused her own death. On the other
hand, If conviction follows 1t will be the
verification of the guilt of a horrible
crime.
The woman was half-Indian and was OF
bad repute, and whisky was the immedi-
ate cause OF the tragedy or crime. The
Verdict depends very much on abe esti-
mate the jury puts upon medical expert
testimony.

LIQUOR IN CUSTOM HOUSE.
CERTAIN DEPUTY COLLECTOR Is
HELD RESPONSIBLE.

SneciaI Agent Macatee's Report Re-
ce;Ved at the Treasury Depart
ment-TeIIs of the Finding of Lii
ouor and Empty Casks in Charles
+op Custom House-NO Action Yet
Taken, But the Guilty Parties Will
Hear From the Matter.
Washington, April 1.-THE Secretary Of
.be Treasury has received a report from
q snecial agent who has conducted the in
vastiga ton of the reported use of the Gus
rom House at Charleston for the storage
Of contraband liquors for Illicit sales.
The search of the building by the in
snector and a number of assistants re-
smiled in the finding of a cask containing
about fifteen gallons of rum and thirty
nine ten-gallon kegs from which the liquor
had recently been taken. The rum was
found in the basement and the empty kegs
in the attic.
A number of officers and employees OF
the Custom House were asked for an ex-
planaton of the finding of the liquor, but
all disclaimed having any knowledge con-
corning it except one of the night watch
men. who admitted having allowed some
Of his friends to keep the liquor there.
Other testimony disclosed information
which leads the officers making the inves-
tigation to believe that the liquor belong
ed TO a certain individual in Charleston,
who has a wholesale liquor dealers Ii
cense.
The conclusion of the officials is that a
certain deputy collector is responsible for
the storing of liquors in the Custom
House and that several employees had full
knowledge of it.
The report is accompanied by copies Of
the testimony taken. The treasury Off
Gals have taken no action in regard to
the matter but there seems to be no doubt
that the guilty parties will be Immediately
