The Gisborne Times PUBLISHED EVERY MORNING. GISBORNE, NOVEMBER 25, 1901. A CONSPIRACY.
The cablegrams to-day contain information of a conspiracy at Johannesburg, The first messages did not give any idea as to the nature of the conspiracy, though that would easily be understood. It is satisfactory to learn that tho conspiracy was so promptly dealt with, but it is not to be expected that the stamping out of one conspiracy will effectually prevent other plotting. The bold scheme to carry off Lord Roberts tvas conceived with great hopes of success, aud though it was disclosed iu tho early stages it had gone sufficiently far to show how easy it would be to work up a conspiracy under tho generous conditions adopted 1 by the British in dealing with their enemies. The wonder is that so little is done in that direction, but probably that is because our enemies cannot trust each other. What will probably happen in the present case is that those of the, conspirators who have been captured will be give heavy sentences that in a few weeks will be reduced to a penalty that is simply farcical.
