Short Terms Must Be Served by Some Before Clemency Will Be Considered. LONDON, Exc., May 20.—A dispatch from Sir Hercules Robinson, Governor of Cape Colony, has been received by the | Government. in which it is announced that the Transvaal authorities have reached a decision in the cases of fifty-nine members of the Reform Union, who were recently convicted in connection with the conspiracy against the South African Re- public, and were sentenced to imprison- ment, fine and banishment. A number of these prisoners will be re leased immediately and others will be given their freedom at the expiration of three months, while a part of those still remeining in custody will be allowed to renew their requests for a cancellation of their sentences after five months shall have elapsed, and four of the condemned men will be given the same privilege at the end of a year from the date of their sen- tences. That portion of the jndgment of the court imposing a fine upon the convicted men will stand, but the banishment clause will be suspended provided the prisoners give their word of honor not to interfere 1n future in pelitics of the republic. The names of the prisoners whose sentences have thus been reduced are at present kept secret. As regards Colonel Frank W. Rhodes, Lionel Phillips, George Farrar and John Hays Hammond, the leaders of the Re- form Committee who were condemned to death for high treason against the Trans- vaal, Governor Robinson’s dispatch says their sentences have been commutea to fifteen years' imprisonment, with a pro- vision for their future commutation. These cases will be considered by the Exezutive Council of the Transvaal next week. Governor Robinson further states that he learns that the commutation of the sentences of the four leaders in the reform movement to imprisonment for fifteen years was merely a matter of form, as it was necessary to impose such a sentence upon the prisoners immediately, and that the sentence will probably not be put into effect. The Government has received the names of the prisoners whose séntences have been commutea. The men who are to be released at once are nine in number. Among them are the Americans H. J. King, Captain Mein and Butters. Thos who are to be released after three months number twenty-four and include F. R Ingrabam, an American. Among eighteen who are to serve five months before being | allowed to renew their requests for their release are the Americans V. B. Clement and J. W. Leonard. The four who are to serve a year include Hammond and S. W. | Jameson, brother of Dr. Jameson. The British Colonial Office Is Silent on the Subjeot. LONDON, Exc., May 20.—No confirma- tion can be obtained at the Colonial Office of the Pretoria dispatch published in the Times this morning that the Executive | Council of the Transvaal has decided that Colonel Frank W. Rhodes, brother of Cecil Rhodes, Lionel Phillips, George Farrar and John Hays Hammond, the leaders of the Johannesburg Reform Committee, who were sentenced to death for high treason against the Transvaal, but whose sentences were comamuted, shall serve terms of fif- teen years’ imprisomment each. It is reported in London to-day that President Kruger has granted pardons to fifty-nine of the minor offenders.

Women and Children Imprisoned as | Sympathizers With the Island WASHINGTON, D. C.,, May 20.— Dr. Albert Diaz and Correspondent Frederick W. Lawrence of the New York Journal and San Francisco Examiner, who were ex- pelled from Cuba, were before the Foreign Relztions Committee this afternoon. Dr. | Diaz’s testimony referred principally to the atrocity of Span rule in the island. He compared from personal experience the insurgent and Spanish methods of war- fare, greaily to the advantage of the Cubans. Among other incidents, he mentioned the long imprisonment of alady in Havana whose only offense was being suspected of sympathy with the irsurgent cause, and the imprisonment of children as ‘‘rebel sympatbizers.” His details were in full accord with bundreds of others about the resuits of Spanish war measures in the 1sland and he begged Congress, for hu- manity’s and civilization’s sake, to stop the existing ev = NOT 4 RETALIATOKY MEASURE.! Senor De Lome on the Order Prohibiting Zobhacco Exrportation. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 20.—Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish Minister, declares that the order prohibiting the export of tobacco from Cuba is misrepre- sented in dispatches attributing it to Gen- ersl Weyler as a retaliatory measure against insurgent sympathizers in this country. He says that it is not a political measure in any sense, but was adopted by the Gov- ernment at Madrid after serious consider- ation to meet an economic nece: the Government far a long time delayed taking action because of the injury to commerce, but was driven to the step by the fact that, without it, over 15,000 cigar- makers in Havana would soon be thrown | out of work for lack of raw material, and 50,000 to 60,000 women and children de- pendent on them would be in danger of starvation. The Minicter disavows Spanish re- sponsibility for the conditions which have forced the decree. He says the tobacco crop has been destroyed by Maceo's forces during their long stay and numerous raids in the western part of the island; that the royal troops have injured no property, and that the indiscriminate destruction of the crop is to be laid wholly at the doors of | the insurgents. Senor Dupuy de Lome says that Spain bas been frequently importuned for the past year to stop the tobacco exports, which gave employment to the chief con- tributors of the insurgents in this country, but the petitions were steadfastly refused. | He declares that there are as many cigar- | makers in Tampa to-day who are loyal to | Spain as there are insurgent supporters, | but that all must suffer alike to avoid | more serious eonsequences in Havana. The prohibition, he econtends, is exactly of the same nature as if the United States were compelled to stop the exportation of eereals from this country in time of famine or great industrial depression. He is in- formed that there is as much Cuban to- | bacco now in this country as in Cuba, and that the hardship here will not be as great | as was at first supposed. Atauy rae, he | claims, Spain was left no atternafive in the | matter. b | ATTORNEY GALLARDO'S | Judge was incar | head, L | gee, the Hayne hom HUSE OWNS THE DOMINGUEL TRACT Claims of the Aged Jurist Seemingly Proved by the Records. GRANTED BY CONGRESS Title to Forty Square Leagues Vested in the Highland Patient. FIND. | Documents That Will, He Deciares, Establish His Friend’s Right to Millions. SANTA BARBARA, Car, May 20.— Du the recent examination of Judge arles Huse of Santa Barbara, seeking ase from the San Bernardino Insane Asylum, Judge Otis, in passing upon the evidence, specifically named, among the delusions of Judge Huse, the idea that he possessed important proverty interests in this and Ventura counties. Attorney Gallardo’s searct the Hall of Records of this county has already developed soms important facts, and it seems that the old man is in a fair way to establish the truth of his assertions and the validity of his claims in one or more instances. In 1844 Pio Pico, then Governor ad in- terim of the State, granted to Jose Domur guez a great tract of land, compnsing in | some forty square leagues and taking in the entire coast valley from Carpenteria to the Old Mission and back to the San Rafael range, inclosing the whole of what are now Summerland and Montecito and a goodly part of Carpenteria, with ali the in- tervening lands. Ir: 1851 Congress established a land com- ion, betore which all such grants 1d be taken for approval, a time limit three years being set. Dominguez neglected to present his claim within the appointed period, b ing that his title was perfectly clear, and afterward sold the title to Thomas Chabasco, who transferred ellanes. Hein 1856 soid it to Judge Huse, the latter paying its fair market value at that time. Ten years later Congress passed sn act confirming to Dominguez the entire claim, upon Judge Hu petition. Afterward the Surveyor-General of California, Mr. Gallardo claims, disregarded this decree of a higher power, arbitrarily /imited the tract to eleven leagues and refused to 1ssue a patent for more than thirty-three square miles. Itis claimed that an appeal to Congress must necessarily in the extension of this survey, as there have been precedents for suzh a decision. The eleven leagues already surveyed and to which Judge Huse’s title was confirmed by the State, were mortga:zed to the late ander Montgomery of San Francisco, ut as the time for their n passed by while the cerated in the asylum, it is claimed that the bar against the re- demption after a certain period becomes inoperative in his case. Attorney Gallardo has undiminished confidence in the strength of his case and it bids fair to become one of the most cele- brated in modern litigation. The Monte- ito property alone is now valued at many millions and contains valuable improve- n as R. Radeliffe W nan, A. B. Ogilvie, George Earnscliffe, Charles F. Eaton, E. Blair Thaw, E. H.

The attorney scarcely takes into account the advanced years of the men who are undertaking to establish the claim to this uable property and the enormous re- stance which will be aroused if it ever gets either into the courts or into the Na- tionel halls of legislation. The most that could be hoped for would probebly be to establish a shadow upon titles which it would require a small fee to release. FRESNO JAIL BREAK. Two Young Prisoners Escape but Are 2 Soon Recaptured. FBESNO, Can., May 20.—John Grady and Charles Chenoweth to-day broke jail and were captured five hours later while making for the mountains. They are 14 vearsold, and are charged with burglary. The boys crawled through a wicket door while the jailer's back was turned. They had been let into the corridor for exercise, and when the cook unlocked a small wicket door to pass dinner into the jail for | the prisoners, the boys made their escape. A. N. Grady, the father of one of the boys, captured them six miles from Fresno and retupned them to jail. young men of this and Flovd counties. The women of the neighborhood fre- quently sent signed petitions requesting Root to close up the place, but he laughed at them. They then threstened to burn his place, but he seid this plan was imprac- ticable, because there was nothing to barn. The women finally decided to aestroy the still..
