the Chinaman standing outside entered
the shanty and grabbed him by the Shout

shot Sing Wo twice, either of which

vancing in force. a crisis is not far off
Yesterday S5 persons were arrested
within a few hours, and confined in
Mora castle.
Rumors were soon flying around that
a great conspiracy had been discovered
and the initial step was to have been
an attack with dynamite on the steam

of 1000 men on board.
The sequel came at midnight when
there was a frightful accident in the
harbor in the sinking of the Spanish

TORONTO, Can, Dec. 10, 1S95-Prof.
Goodwin Srnlth was asked by the cores
pondent of the United Press today for
a statement of his views upon President
Clevelands recent message upon the
Venezuela boundary question. and his
opinion as to the probable termina ton
of the dispute In reply the Professor
made the following statement
mo one I think, who has been much
among Americans and conversed with
men of different parties and classes
amongst them, will be surprised at Mr..
Cleveland's message. am firmly con-
vinced that since the abolition of slavery
there prevails amongst them no desire
for territorial aggrandizeraent. The alb
sence of such desire was shown when
they refused TO annex San Domingo and
has appeared on other occasions. I have
never in an my Intercourse with them
heard tfe slightest expression of a de-
sire to aggress on the independence of
Canada. I have no doubt that as an
independent country we might rest in
perfect security at their side, but to the
Monroe doctrine have always believed
them to be strongly attached, and doubt
not that President Cleveland in assert
ing 1T on this occasion will have their
general sympathy and support.
"1'he regard 1T not as a manifesto of
American aggrandigement. but as a
charter of independence for this conti-
nent and declaration that the new
world shall be allowed to work out its
own destinies. free from any interfer-
enec on the part Of the powers of the
cid world.''

matter of possession of the territory
beyond that line will be submitted to

measures to enforce obedience to his
will"
