Havana, April IL. - Many reports
have appeared in the Havana news
papers recently that bandetti are ope-
rating in the country districts through
out Cuba. These reports have been
printed for some time and they are as
cribed to various causes. Some people
say they are intended as indirect at
tacks on the chiefs of the rural guards:
others believe they come from an ele-
ment which is opposed to the establish
ment of a Cuban government, and is
DESTROYS that the Americans shall re-
main here, while others still think the
reports emanate from those who wish
to attack the administration of Gen.
Wood and are anxious to make it ap-

reports of disturbances in the country
districts with the exception of few
cases of robbery. Outside Of this the
conditions are normal, and the robbery
cases are those that are usually report

London, April 12.-For weeks past
reports have been current that Gen
Christian Dewet has lost his reason
lin consequence of his incessant anx-
iety. his inability to rest or even sleep.
owing to the unrelaXing pursuit of his
men by the British columns.
Although these stories have been at
tributed to reliable Boer prisoners and
have been accompanied with consider
able details, it has been impossible to
accept them as entirely convincing, as
they all came through unofficial Brit
ish channels, which. however we'll their
intentions may be, are in no wise al
ways reliable. To-day there comes a
statement from Cape Town reaffirming
these tales of Dewets mental collapse
and asserting that Gen. Botha, the
Boer commander-in -chief, having sat-
isf1ed himself of their truth, has re-
opened negotiations with the British
military officials for the conclusion OF
peace. 1t is known to a virtual GER
tainty that Gen. Botha very lately WIS.,
tied Gen. Dewet in the neighborhood
of Hebron, and there, according to
the aforesaid Cape Town dispatch, he
discovered that Gen. Dewet's intellect
had been weakened to the extent that
he was not responsible for his actions
and had lost his influence over his fol-
lowers, who were rapidly forsaking
him. These facts. according to this
story, convinced Gen. Botha that a
continuance of the campaign rested
with him alone, and as Gen. Dewet has
hitherto been the only opponent OF
opening negotiations for peace he
(Botha) resolved to reopen negotiations
looking to that end and these negotia-
lions are now proceeding. This state
ment comes from a single source and
nothing can be learned officially on the
subject.

Frankfort. KY, April II. Former
Gov. William o. Bradley, who was
chief counsel for w. S. Taylor in the
gubernatorial contest case before the
legislature last year, gave sensational
testimony yesterday in the trial Of

satlon which he said he had had with
Capt Ripley While the latter was in
charge of his military company during
the occupancy of the state capitol last
spring by the Taylor troops, in which
Ripley told him of frequent confer
ences with Gov Taylor prior to the as
sasslEation. The witness said that
Ripley told him he was in the execu-
tive office the day before the shooting
and complained to Taylor because he
had not called out his (Ripley's) COM
pany, and asked him when he should
nave the company ready. Taylor re-
piled: My God! haven't you brought
them yet? Goebel will not live TWEEN
ty-four hours" or "cannot live twenty.
four hous." I forget which. declared
the witness. In response to a question
as to- whether he fwitnessl heard of
any conspiracy to kill Mr.. Goebel. the
witness stated that on Jan. g. the day
the train load of mountaineers arrived,
some one. he could not now recall who.
told him that part of the crowd was
waiting in front of the court house to
kill Goebel.

GGLD-BAR Theft A MYSTERY.
No Clue Has Yet Been FOnnd to tn

No Clue Has Yet Been Fonnd to the
Money or the Thieves.
New York, April 1.-THE only def
mite information received in this city
yesterday regarding the theft of three
gold bars valued at from 100000 to
$4,000 from key in the storage room
of the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, on her last voyage from this
port to Cherbourg. was a cable dis
patch from Capt. Engelbart, captain Of
the ship, confirming the fact of the
loss. The cablegram said that the
strong room had apparently been en-
tered and that the three bars had
been taken from one of the kegs of
gold in the room. In default of further
information the manager of the North
German Lloyd Office here was unable
to advance any theory of the robbery.
Bremen, April 12-The directors of
the North German Lloyd Steamship
company have apparently learned
nothing definite as to when and where
the theft of the gold bars from the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse took place.
Capt. Engelbart is of the opinion that
the gold was stolen at either New
York or Southampton. The police here
as a result Of their inquiries think the
robbery was probably committed in
New York.

London, April 13.-Inquiries in Off

confirmation of yesterdays report re-
garding the resumption of peace nego-
tiations in South Africa. The Times
says 1t learns there is no foundation
for the Cape Town story regarding
Gen. Botha or apparently for any of
the other circumstantial statements of
his alleged acts or intentions. There is
strong probability, according to the
Times, that the kilograms were MOTH
ing more than reproductions of local
gossip. The dissatisfaction over the
frequency of surrenders and similar
''regretable Incidents is now met by
the issue of special army order di,
recting that any officer or soldier who
in the presence of the enemy displays
white flag or other token of surren-
der shall be tried by general court
martial.
