It Is asserted that the men already arrested were also preparing to organize a corps in Natal, the British col tny between the Orange Free State and the Indian ocean, to assist the projected movement at Johannesburg.

Re-tz, ihe secretary of state, con-firms the report t.ia ta number of unusual arrests have lieen made there, and thax it is rumored t.ie prisoners are British officers.

It is said that the en listment roster included 2,000 men and that a number of incriminating documents were ,und at the time the arrests were made. Pretoria, Transvaal epublic. May 16. The a-rest at Johannesburg early this morning c' seven alleged British officers named Xicholte, -Patterson, Tremlott, Ellis, Freis, Hoper and Mitchell, on the charge of h,gh treason, has caused intense excita nt, nt here. The prisoners were brought t j Pretoria, by special train. After they lad been lodged in jail they were visited i the British diplomatic agent here. The arrests were effected by a detective, who j ined the movement, which, it Is assrted, v is for the purpose of enrolling men in cder to cause an outbreak, or rebellion. Incriminating documents were found on t prisoners vA it is expected that fur t .e.r arrests will be made. Pretoria, May 16. The officers arrested, w t j are eight In number, as previously ciMed, are: Captain Patterson, formerly fhe Lancers; Colonel R. F Nichols, X, eutenant Tremlott. Lieutenant C. A. El 3;e, lately a private detective at Johan nesburg; Lieutenant John Allen Mitchell, I merly of the horse artillery; Former Sergeant J. Fries, R. P. Hooper and Nioh o'i None of them have been in the em p.iy of $he British South Africa Chartered impany. It is ald that the commissioner Tolice who had the affair In hand, had n working up the case for months. Mr. fii-uty, the detective who effected the -rest, received his instructions last week z 1 secured the necessary warrants yes- rday. The executive council of the Transvaal is sitting in secret session this oening. considering the arrests. The British agent and charge d'affaires, c inningham Green, had an interview -with F-esident Kruger this afternoon and ex 2 'pssed regret that men who had worn t.e queen's uniform should be concerned 1 such a movement. President Kruger r i1. ed that he would not believe the prss- rs were British officers until it had 1 en proved, adding that he hoped the af- .ir would not interfere with the proposed -rioting between himself and Sir Alfred M !ner, governor of Cape Colony and Brft-i.-i commissioner for South Africa. !ndon, Msy 16. A dispatch from Jo-3- inesbure; states that a number of men h i-e been arrested there, charged with r -:h treason. The dispatch In question Kabiy explains the telegram received the Arsrus of Cape Town today from P-vtoria saying the Transvaal secretary state confirmed the report that a num r of unusual arrests had been made and "it it was rumored that the prisoners w re British officers. The advices from J -.-nnesburg are also probably connected iv ti a mysterious dispatch received at Jo-2- finesburg from Pretoria on May 32 say i a special train fully equipped with 1 r artillerymen, guns and aseearch 1 jit apparatus was being held in readi- r -s at the capital of the Transvaal. Thel i-ement was then declared to be without p -iincance. but today's news throws a re serious light on the movement and s certain there will be a great sensa- n in London when the news of the ar- -e becomes generally known. r afternoon papers today print special ---atcbes from Cape Town saving seven i have been arrested at Johannesburg t- have been taken to Pretoria. The rmnpnt of Cans Colony, it further ap- i-s. is considering the matter secretly. news caused great excitement J t -ughout South Afrio. Tie Standard and Digger's News, the I? i r organ in London, has a dispatch m Pretoria, which says that warrants i.-e issued yesterday evening by the i re's attorney and were executed at mid r cht. The dispatch adds that a plot cr rebellion is reported to nave been m- .-ing for months and the accused, who r-- said to have been engaged by the F nth African League, had already en ltd Mm men. rvcH RhoAcA, the former premier of C ip Colony and resident director in F-vrh Africa of the British Chartered buih African company, informs the As s ated Press that he has heard nothing cording the arrests made at Johannes- .rg and that he -knows naming about the r is on for which they were made. Jseph Chamberlain, secretary of state f the colonies, who was interviewed m rhe lobby of the house of commons this coring, said he had heard nothing ofB- illr regarding the arrests m the Trans- ial and did not think that too serious a gnifleanoe ought to be attached to them, j Xn Information had -reached aim from! fouth Africa, he aarerad. that coaSd tend toira in any .way to aacigajm r to ex- plain the arrests. The news caused consid erable excitement among the members of the house but little disposition was mani fested to credit the rumors of a rebelK'on or conspiracy. Replying to a question of Ellis Jones Griffith, Liberal member for Anglesey, as to whether the government had received any information regarding tho arrests, Sir. Chamberlain said he had seen the present dispatches but that no offio!al information was at hand. London, May 17. All ttie morning pa pers devote their principal editorials to the arrests in the Transvaal, counselling a postponement of conclusions until the facts of the case are ascertained, and de clining to believe that Englisli officers .or subjects have been guilty of what the Standard terms "such treasonable folly." The Daily Mail says: "The conditions are that of a boiler with furnaces at full blast and safety valves screwed down. No conspiracy can flourish while freedom ex ists, and the Kruger policy will inevita bly produce resistance." The Times, which repudiates the Idea that the prisoners are of weight among the British Uitlanders, or represent im portant interests of any kind at Johan nesburg, BUggests that President Kruger had been imposed upon by his own detect ives. The papers publish an Interview with Mr. Chamberlain, who apparently depre cates the seriousness of the arrest, but says he does not recognize tine names of the prisoners or understand tho causes of arrest. BISHOP CLARK0N BR1GGS Snys That Clergyman's Ordination "Was Xo Itishop' Affair. New York, May 16. A special to the Tribune from Providence, R. I., says: Rt. Rev. Thomas M. Clark, the venerable pre siding bishop of the American house of bishops, has been much annoyed by the controversy over the Briggs matter, which he considers most unfortunate. It has brought him a vast amount of correspond ence anw many telegrams-in regard to a matter over which he th2nks he has no control. The bishop said that he did not so what action he could take, if ho was desirous of taking any. The ordination of a priest was entirely a matter of local onrtrni. Thwe was s. set method of pro cedure, and if it was carried out and the candidate for orders be recommended by the standing committee, the bishop of the diocese had no recourse except to ordain .nHirtiitft. He thousht that Bishop Potter in this case had exercised wise discretion and judgment, and that ills let ter explaining his course was a very clear and convincing document. In these views Bishop MoVIcar, the co adjutor, who was present, concurred. In answer to an inquiry whether resolutions might not be -passed in regard to the mat ter, Bishop McVicar said "They can howl if they desire, but that is allv that It can amount to." Bishop Clark has also been much d.s turbed over the Funston matter. The Rev. J. B. Funston of Portsmouth, Va., was to have been consecrated bishop of the dio cese of Boise, Idaho, but owing to tho protest of eleven bishops, the order for consecration has been cancelled. A spe cial meeting of the house of bishops has (been called to meet in St. Louis in Octo ber for the election of a bishop for Japan. The Funston matter may be referred to that convention also by the presiding bish op for action. No other business can coma up except that for which the convention is called, which would prevenn action by tho house of bishops should such action be contemplated. -In answer to an inquiry as to his views of the modern tendency of clergymen of other denominations who get into troublo with their churches, of fleeing to the Epis copal eluirch for refuge. Bishop Clark said: "The Episcopal church is very roomy. It contains men of the most divergent views on many subjects. As long as a man is able to subscribe to the creeds and is mor ally unimpeachable, he is generally ac ceptable and some of the men who hava thus far como from other denominations have proved to be very valuable Episcopa lian clergymen." Bishop Clark is now S7 years of age and the oldest bishop in h5s denomination In the world. He will not attend the St. Louis convention, owing to the great dis tance. DOSEN'T RUN POOL ROOMS llut 3layor Vsm Vyclc Admits jlaU ins Up "Xcwsyaper Iiies." New York, May 16. Mayor Robert Van TVyck was on the witness stand today before tlva Mazot investigating commit tee. There was not much of note about the mayor's testimony, and only on one occasion did he And occasion to make any outbreak. This was when question ed by Counsel Moss of the committee re garding the rumored connection of "a man named Van Wyck" th a number of pool rooms. Tho mayor became very angry at this ajtd declared that Mr. Moss had asked the question for the purpose of "insinuation." He demanded that if any evidence was obtained to prove any such connection H should be produced before the committee. He denied moat em phatlcally that he had any connection with any pool rooms or with any other illegal business. The mayor asserted emphatically that he had never consulted with any one regarding the appointments he had made. Referring to an article in the newspa pers regarding the appointment of Chief of Police Devery, Mayor Van "VVyck said the story was manufactured .and that he had helped to make k up. "That is the way they make their living." said the mayor, referring to the newspaper men. "They bave got to do it or they cannot live in the newspaper business." The mayor saW he would make his liv ing the same way if he couk! not dot it any other way. "By teibxtg: bsr' asked Mr. Moss. "I think so." said the mayor.

WICHITA, KATS&S: vraPSPAYiMORanyG, MAY IT, 1S99 Laugh Reply to Threats OF WAR MADE BY CUBANS Gomez's Manifesto Is Expect ed to Issue Today, Havana, May 16. The manifesto which General Maximo Gomez is preparing to issue will not only review his own posi tion as to the payment of the Cuban army, but probably will direct the forces to disband. Its issuance is expected tomor row. Colonel Carlos Cespedes, who is en gaged in the supervision of copying the manifesto, declines to give any informa tion as to its contents, further than to say that Gomez recounts his faithtul labors for Cuba; asserts that he has no ambi tion other than to free Cuba, and caSs upon all loyal Cubans to accept the money given by the United States and to return to their peaceful pursuits, in order to show by building up the country that they are citizens in the truest sense. The mani festo will also allude, according to Ces pedes, to the difficulty regarding the sur render of the arms, and wui say that General Gomez has arranged with Gov ernor General Brooke that the mayors of the various cities shall be repositories for the same. The manifesto will call upon all Cubans to display real patriotism by faying down thoir arms and taking up agricultural Implements. Following its publication, Governor Gen eral Brooke will Issue a modified roder eliminating the necessity for the partici pation of any Cuban commissioner in the distribution of the $.S,000.C00. The govern or regards Gomez as having acted sincere ly throughout, and believes that his with drawal from participation in the distribu tion and hid attitude of "friendly inac tivity" has been forced upon him by the desertion of those generals upon whom he had relied. Members of the late Cuban military as sembly and other discontented persons be long to the new revolutionary club styled the Veterans' association, met at Cerrero last night and indulged in a prolonged de bate on the question of the Cuban troops surrendering their arms. One group was in favor of entrusting the arms to the brigade chiefs, or Cuban municipalities. Another group was opposed altogether to surrendering the arms, sajing It might be necessary to "use them against Amer ican pretensions." The meeting was pre sided over by General Joseph Lacret and was attended by Sangullly, Andrade, VI dal and Juan Gomez. Telegrams from all the provinces were read, opposing the giv ing -up' bf the arms. The so-called weak ness of General Maximo Gomez was con trasted with Aguinaldo's "patriotic cour age." No decision was reached. During the meeting Colonel Miyores proposed to send the following telegram to Santiago: "General discontent. We refuse to sur render arms. Opinion unanimous." General Andrade declined to agree to the suggestion, saying It would not be ad visable to make such a display of feeling. Instead of the dispatch proposed by Mi yores. the following was sent: "Reunited. Decided to agree to muster out on the basis of the decree of former assembly. Announced that Brooke will modify his decree. Await to see if satisfactory. Concert with you in final proceedings." The vote on this dispatch was 59 in favor of, against 36 opposed. Such a meeting as the one uejt held at Correro wduld be re garded, in a le.es inammatory communflity, as omlnious, and outside oherver mteht think Cuba is on the verge of insurrection. Public feeling in avaHna is certainly ex cited, but those whose judgment is worth most consider the agitation to be super ficial and to consist merely of phraslngs which never 3ead to an overt act. Gov ernor General Brooke will go ahead as inoffensively as possible in the disburse ment of the 53.POO.O0O appropriated for the Cuban troops. This canot begin, however, until next week. If the Cubans wish to surrender their arms to the municipalities, all will be weK. The American authorities will raise no objection. Americans residing in Havana, espe cially those who have been here since the beginning of the military occupation, look upon the present anti-American outburst as similar to the Garcia funeral incident, and the excitement which followed the prohibitio of demonstrations on January 1. It is really a very simple matter. Just now General Brooke is considering the publication of an order designed to check untruthful and violent criticism of the military government. Should the order be issued it would merely call attention by under the Soaniph code, which produce abundant methods of discouraging immod erate utterances. The propriety of cen soring exo'oeive newspapers, suppressing meeting and forcibly disarminsr the Ca bana has been considered, but such policy has been laid aside definitely as being un wise and impolitic.' There is no preeent purpose "to use any repressive meanres. Everybody win be allowed to express his feelings in writimr and taBrfng. A former member of the military as sembly said today: "The Cubans have no desire for anythm?: hot a peaceful adjust ment immediately. They .blame Gomes for beinfc too uacommanteative and for his unwillingness to abnegate selfish mo tives sufiicientry to allow anyone efee to bave a share in the honor of arranging Cuba's future." Major Dncker reports a case of yellow fever, but it is the oniy existing case and he believes the patient, who is a native o ftae Canary islands. wW recover. Ha vana has an altogether exceptional health recerd for this time for the year. Several native have been arrested near Caibarien for destroying government elg nal wires. MERELY A CASE OF "GENERALS" Cntii I Snfferinc From an Overdone and 3Int Take SIr 31idicirtf.

The confidence of the war department in General Brooke was strengthened by the visit of Secretary Al ger to uCba.

It is said toJ -m r .n..1 T3wrVz t at! mildly with the Cubans and to nvoid. as iar as possioie, au "-uuu to irritate them: but that he will be firm when necessary, and the disturbers will be made to understand that no overt acts will be permitted. Communications that lBSX'iEJ& given to the public but the officals un derstand that the source of the present trouble is that the "generals" of the Cuban army are disappointed because they are not likelv to realize as much out of the money appropriated for -ftie army as they think they should. These "generals" all believed that they would secure a propor tion of the money equal to their rank and their own estimate of their services. Tho whole trouble regarding the payment of the monev and the delay may be traced directly to these officers, who, as members of the assembly, or as supporters of Go mez, have constantly raised obstacles in the way of a peaceful disarmament of the Cubans and the settlement ot tne Cubans ana me eei.i;i"c"- -j .i. k.i'-vi nrA fhmir is assured beyond all other considerations the United States .,t -enr- thA nresent In absolute Will IClliam control of the island and the orders of the officers in command will be sustained by the government at Washington. e CUBAN THREATS OF WAR Complaint That Krooko Is Sent There to Triclc Thorn. Xew York, May 16.-The Herald's Ha vana correspondent telegraphs as follows: The situation here has become most alarming. To all appearances, the Cubans are about to make armed manifestations against the United States and irs mode of governing the Island, although the con servative element still hopes for peaceful arrangements. This state otSf.h was brought abruptly to a head las. Sat urday by a partial quarrel between Gen erflGomez and Governor General Brooke, has been forming for the last two months The first move has been made b the army It will probably be supported b S Cubans. The army, which is really "presented-although many dbpuu his authorlty-by General Gomez, is parttcu-l-rlv bitter against Governor Brooke and his poficy? The soldiers declare they have ,b en nSerably fooled and trapped by the Americans. They look upon the exchange of a gun for $75 as an ignominious trans action for them, as they have not been de eSed by Americans, and consequently tT refuse to exchange. Some person, say the determination of the army -to 6urrender arms is an outcome of General Brooke's refusal to sanction Genera Go mez's plan for a Cuban militia. At the Cuban headquarters the scatement is in dignantly denied, in particular by Gomez, who however, refuses to discuss the pres ont situation. One of Gomez's most prom inet officers said: "General Gomez was-brought to this city through the influence of Mr. Porter. Ho was told that he was wanted in Ha vana to help General Brooke establish a. government for the Cubans which would have no other basis than freedom and in dependence. He was miserably fooled He has been ridiculed for the manner in which he ha.? been treated by Brooke.
