April 80. The Chartered South African Company bas a cable' a-rani from Johannesburg giving fur tber details of the judgment of the high oourt at Pretoria in the case of the members of the reform oommit tee. This dispHtch states that in addition to the sentence of death passed upon John Hays Hammond and other leaden of the reform committee, sixty other mem bers have been sentenced ta two years' imprisonment, a fine of '3,000 aud three years' subsequent banishment The dispatch adds: "There is great excitement in Johannesburg aud un less the sentences are speedily commut ed trouble is expected." The Times says in an artiole on the judgment of the Pretoria court: "The sentences were a complete surpirse, but were regarded with equanimity solely because it was perceived that they could not be executed. This applied with equal force to the monstrous sen tence against the other prisoners (those senteuceed to death). "We rely ou President Kruger's com mon sense. To execute these sentences would be a crime from which we glad ly believe Kruger would shrink. It would be an egregious error. It is hardly necessary to discuss the certaiu consequences of the execution of the sentences. The putting them to death would kindle a blood feud between the English aud the Transvaal Boers. No sober politician can doubt the ultimate issue ot a oouflict between Great Britain aud the Transvaal, whatever its alliances." IN WASHINGTON COURTS.
