British Officers and Capture

London, Aug 10. 4:45 &. m.-The Daily
News has the following dispatch from
Pretoria, dated Aug. 8!
"A plot to shoot all the British officers
and to make Lord Roberts a prisoner has
been opportunely discovered. Ten of the
ringIeaders were arrested and are now In
Jail.
probably the plot was part of a con-
spiracy Of which the attempted rising at
johannesburg was the first indication
Pretoria Aug. 9.-Everything was pre-
pared in the plot to make Lord Roberts
prisoner and shoot the British officers
al the last moment.
The conspirators numbered about fif-
teen. They had planned to set fire 10
the houses in the extreme western parts
of the city, hoping that the troops would
be concentrated there.
The plan was that then the consprators
were forcibly to enter all houses occupied
by British officers these having been pre-
viously marked, and to kill the occu-
pants.
All Boer sympathizers were acquaint-
ed with the plot, and several had been
told off to secure the person of Lord Rob-
erts and to hurry with him to the nearest
commando.
Horses had been obtained for this pur-
pose. Then the British learned the names
of the ring,eaders, who were put under
arrest. The affair mas created tremen-
dous sensation.

the crowd in the Via Nazionale as the
Kings carriage in the funeral procession
passed resulted in panic, during which
thirty persons were injured and several
were badly crushed.
The dispatch says that it was at first
thought by the officers that it was the
now Kings life that was in danger, and
the Duke of Aosta and the Coun$ of Turin
drew their swords, while the cavalry
drove back the crowd and inclosed the
Kings carriage in the square.
Women, the dispatch continues, tainted
and shrieked. and a number were knocked
down and trampled under foot. but the
disaster which was seemingly inevitable,
was aveNed.

DID 1T TO PROTECT THE KING.
Princes Drew Their swords and Sur
rounded Him.

Rome, Aug. aNrhe report already
cabed. that in consequence of the crush
ing crowds, the princes ana foreign repre-
sentatives surrounding the King drew
their swords to protect him, is substan-
tally correct
Not knowing the cause of the disturb
ance among the people, they surrounded
him and instiuctively Prince Nicholas or
Montenegro. the Duke of Aosta and the
Count of Turin placed their hands upon
the hits of their swords. The emotion,
however, was only of a short duration.
The crush in the Via de Serpent was
caused by the shying of an Alpine officer $
horse, frightened by the fail of chair
from balcony. The crowd fed in all di-
rections, but as soon as the cause of the
panic was known calm was restored and
the cortege proceeded.
a categorical denial is given to the re-
port that the crush was caused by pro-
test against the municipal flag. The
crushes elsewhere were also caused by I'M
important incidents.
