ENGINEERS MURDERED.
Three Americans ' Masnacred by Hos
tile Matabttle.
Chicago. April ' 15. A cable message
. from Cape Town reports the killing of
three engineers near Buluwayo. The
names or two 01 me victims are gtven as
Hammond and Palmer. -.Miss May E.
Squire, manager of Handel music hall,
has grave feara that the third ia her
- cousin, Richard Lyle Mason, who was in
the vicinity of Buluwayo when last
heard from. The last letter received
from him gave his address as "Care A.
It. Hammond, Buluwayo, Matabeland,
"South Africa. 'The letter was dated Jan
uary 18, and waa received here March 18.
It was written in the heart of Matabele-,
land, 500 miles from the coast, and was
taken by a native courier 30 milea to
' Buluwayo to be posted. Mr. Mason was
given exclusive charge of the. mines in
the Zambesi district, Matabef eland, and
at the- time he wrote was .engaged in
movinc with a force of 20 men and IflO
mules, some heavy machinery, required
for the development of tae mines. .They
had passed beyond the fever' districts,
and were 40 or 50 milea distant from, the
uprising ip the Transvaal. He went
there last September.
Though the party was 60 mil8 or more
from the scene of the first trouble in the
'Transvaal, Mr. Mason wrote that he had
no desire to get. nearer, hecanee "those

Mr. Mason is a native of Australia,

Ilia parents live in Australia, and he has
no other relative excf pt Miss Squ're in
this country. She has made every effort
to secure , information in regard to Mr.
Mason and "'his possible fate, hut with
little success so far. The United States
has at present no representative at Cape
Town,' the newly - accredited consul,
James ti. Mulligan, being sow en route
to his post.

profession in the Australian gold fields,.
Then he came to America and remained
here nine years. In that time he was
employed in every large m icliinery man

San Francisco to Philadelphia. "
An offer of JE5000 a year decided him
to go to South Africa. He. ia one of the
one hundred "expert mining engineers
whose services have been secured by the.
English' capital invested in the South
African fields. The head of this force
ia John Hays Hammond of San Fran
'cisco, a cousin of A. R. Hammond, in
whose care Mr. Mason a mail waa to be
sent. It seems probable that A. R.
Hammond and Mr. Mason were two of
the three victims of the natives. Mr.
Mason, it is- known, had two other en
gineers associated with him in the Zam

ital, Senor de Lome, acting under 'in
structions from his government, . haa
made certain inquiriea as to the method
which the president proposes to follow.
f the Spanish minister of foreign af
fairs finally accept the good offices of
this government, General Fitzhugh Lee,
our new consul general at Havana, will'
be instructed ' to sound " the insurgent
leaders ae to their. willingness to accept
reforms in Cuba, and on these being
