Fifteen Years for Reformers.

London, May 20.—A dispatch to the Times from Pretoria, Transvaal, dated May 18 (Monday), says: "The executive council decided that the punishment of Col. Francis Rhodes, Lionel Phillips, George Farrar and John Hays Hammond, the leaders of the reformers who were sentenced to death, shall be fifteen years’ imprisonment. The hope is entertained that these sentences will be modified. The decision of the sentences of the other reformers is still awaited.”
