DIRECT ACTIOS TAKEN

United States Protecting the Transvaal Prisoners.

DETAILS OP THE SITUATION.

Mr. Man yon, the United States Consular Agent at Johannesburg, Instructed to Take the Most Active and Vigorous

Measures For the Relief of the Americans —This Is Independent Action. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—A long cable

dispatch has been received by Secretary Olney from Mr. Many on, the United States consular agent at Johannesburg, who gives the details of the situation with reference to John Hays Hammond, the California mining engineer, and the other Americans arrested for alleged complicity in the uitlander conspiracy.

Mr. Manyon says that all American prisoners are out on parole except Hammond, whose case differs from that of the other Americans in that he signed a conditional invitation to Jameson to come to Johannesburg in the event of extreme peril.

Jameson, however, marched towards Johannesburg before trouble arose, and when this was discussed the American leaders and other principal men issued a proclamation calling on the people to refrain from hostilities.

Instead of inciting rebellion, Hammond, according to Mr. Manyon, raised the Transvaal flag, and all in the movement swore allegiance to the government. Clement and others took arms from many persons and sent the men home.

Not a shot was fired by the Johannesburg party, says Mr. Manyon there was no disturbance, not a single act of hostility arms were peacefully surrendered and every effort was made to maintain the Transvaal republic as against British encroachment.

The cases against the American prisoners will be tried in court, though the government has not yet indicated the time. Mr. Manyon adds that the Transvaal government has acted magnanimously.

Secretary Olney acted promptly on Mr. Manyon's dispatch by cabling the latter to take the most active and vigorous measures for the relief of the Americans, and to that end to make to the Transvaal government direct representations in behalf of the United States.

It will be seen from Mr. Manyon's dispatch that Hammond and the other Americans who were arrested are not in serious peril. Notwithstanding, however, Secretary Olney determined to niake their safety a surety so far as this government is concerned, and therefore cabled Mr. Manyon the instructions given. In pursuing this course the United States government is

not as the sympathizer other power.

Murphy smelled cigarette smoke and traced it to Corbett's room, where he entered. "I just stopped to tell you that smoking is against the rules, Mi*. Corbett," said Murphy. "No one is smoking here," said Corbett, but he was unable to conceal the smoke that came from under his coat. "Why, you are smoking yourself," said Mui-pliy indignantly.

Corbett sprang up, shoved. Murphy out of the room and. slammed the door. The fireman threw all his weight against the door just as Corbett opened it and Murphy staggered half across the room, and before he could recover himself, Corbett struck him twice. Murphy came back with a blow on Corbett's mouth that brought the blood in a stream. The £reman then started down stairs, but Corbett caught him from behind, threw him down, and kicked him. Murphy then started down again, Corbett following. Murphy grabbed Corbett around the legs and" pulled his feet from under him, letting the pugilist slide bumpety-bump down the stairs.

When the pugilist had reach the bottom, he was frantic with rage, and again attacked Murphy, but. the men were soon separated. Corbett's mouth was very badly swollen, and Murphy was badly hurt in the barvk where Corbett kicked him. The fireman is a little fellow, much smaller than Corbett.

BLOWN TO ATOMS.

4. Wagon Load of Nitroglycerin and a Magazine Explodes. ST. MARY'S, O., Jan. 27.—An awful

nitroglycerin explosion occurred in the Kishler woods, two miles northwest of town, Saturday. Sam Angel of Findlay, in the employ of the Bradford nitroglycerin company, and a team of horses were blown to pieces.

Angel was a driver of one of the big transfer wagons in which the glycerine is conveyed from the place of manufacture to the magazines in the Kishler woods. Angel stopped with fis load at Makley's blacksmith shop to get anew singletree for his wagon. In 20 minutes after Angel left the blacksmith shop the explosion occurred. How it happened will never be known as no one could have been close enough to witness the accident and survive the shock.

The trees for 200 feet around the place where the magazine stood were stripped of their bark and limbs and a few trees in the immediate vicinity were torn out by their roots. Where the magazine stood there is a hole in the ground 10 feet deep and 20 in diameter.

With the exception of one of the horses' heads, not a piece of the man nor the animals as big as one's hand could be found. On a few of the remaining branches of the trees could be seen hanging bits of harness and clothing. Fragments of the man and horses were scattered over a radius of 200 yards of the explosion.

Angel was 26 years of age and unmarried. The damage done to glass in the city will reach

steamer Julia from Santiago de Cuba, which had on board the battalion of Simancas, commanded by General Canella, went ashore near Batabano and was so far injured as to be made useless. These Spanish troops are being brought into Havana province to reinforce those operating there against Gomez and Maneo in Havana province and Piuar del Rio.

A column of troops in the district of Sancti Spiritu, province of Santa Clara, has killed four insurgents and wounded seven in a skirmish. In another skirmish on the plantation of Celeste Palos six insurgents were killed.

The damage wrought by the insurgents on the waterworks of the city of Matanzas will require $50,000 to repair.

ANTIQUES STOLEN.

Mostly Inlaid Gold and Silver Work and Valued at $20,000. NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—Sometime near

midnight Satin-day, the residence of Dr. Jahn on East Thirtieth street, was entered qmd a case of antiques valued at $20,000 was taken away. The antiques which were stolen were part of the collection known as the Schille which were bought some years ago by Dr. Jahn for $340,000, and were principally inlaid gold and silver work.

Saturday evening Walter Kline, an expert in antiques, who v, r.i charge of the collection, went out on uusiness. He returned at midnight and found the front door open. He ran up stairs and on entering the showroom on the second floor, he noticed that the case containing the antiques and which he valued at $20,000 had been taken.

Dr. Jahn is in Europe and was notified by cable of the robbery. At the station house, Captain Pickett refused to either affirm or deny the story, but on investigation it was learned that the robber or robbers gained entrance to the house through a rear window. The police have worked ever since, but have no clew to the robbers.
