New York. March 26.-Collector XIII

Mcclure a report Of the alleged viola
ton of law committed by Secretary OF
the Treasury Carlisle, a guest of the
officials of the customs department
The collector positively refused to make

secretary's anxiety to care for his son.
The young man arrived in port last
Saturday on the American liner Paris.

rotary went down to quarantine in the
revenue cutter and took his son off the
steamer before the passengers had been
inspected by the health officer. This
constitutes a violation of the state law,
hence the trouble.
Much to the annoyance of Collector
Kilbreth, the matter became public and
he asked Surveyor Mcclure for a report
A reporter called on Collector Kilbreth
just after the document was handed in
and he was then engaged in perusing 1t.
He admitted that it was the much
sought-after report. but refused to di-
vulge the contents. Neither would he
state what action in the matter was in

BURNED HIS WIFE FOR A WITCH
Extraordinary Case of Murder Arising
From Ignorant superstition.

Waterford. Ireland. March pa most
extraordinary case of murder, arising
from superstition, was inquired into by
the special court of Clonmel, twenty-five
miles from here. Ten persons were ar
raigned before the court charged with
numbering a. Mrs. Cleary The prisoners
included the murdered woman's husband
and father, and the evidence showed that
she was suffering from nervousness and
bronchitis. and her husband, believing
her to be bewitched, obtained a concoc-
ton from an herbist of the neighborhood.
While the other prisoners held the unfort-
innate woman in bed he forced the con-
coction down her throat. After this the
suffering woman was held over a fire and
dreadfully burned until she declared that
she was not Cleary's wife.
This torture was repeated on the fol-
lowing day, after which he knocked her
down, stripped off her clothing, poured
paraffine over her body, then lighted 1t
and the woman burned to death in the
presence of six male and two female rel
atives. Cleary declared that he was not
burning his wife, but that he was burn
ing a witch and she would disappear up
the chimney. The husband collected the
charred remains and buried them. The
prisoners, who were remanded, narrow
ly escaped lynching, and had to be remov-
ed to the jail under the escort of a strong
force of constables.

VENEZUELA MUST PAY THE DAMAGES
Commission Awards the United States a
Total OF S143, 500.

Washington, March 26.-After months
of elaboration the Venezuelan commiss-
ion today concluded its labors and an
nounced its decision, being judgment in
favor of citizens of the United States for
l43.500, about one-third of the amount of
the claims. OF the total award, the Ven
ezuelan Steam Transportation Company
Of New York received $141, 500, with inter-
est and Captain A. G.. Post, Jacob J.
Maurinus and David J. Sturgis received
each $500 with interest. The claim of
Cornelius j. Brinkerhoff, master of the
San Francisco, was the only one disal-
lowed.
The claims date back to 1871. when in
the course of revolution in Venezuela
three of the vessels of the American cor
poration were seized by the Venezuelans
on either side of the controversy and
much damaged by use in war. The ships
were finally recovered, one through the
good offices of the commander of a Brit
ish warship and the other two by the
commander of the United States steam
ship Shawmut The claims also included
those based on the refusal of the victor-
Gus revolutionary government to allow
the company to exceed the franchise ii
had TO navigate in Venezuelan waters
and also items for the Imprisonment of
the masters of the seized vessels. The
principle involved in the judgment rem
dered today is of great interest to the
countries of Central and South America,
which are subject to revolution, for il
amounts TO declaration that such coun-
tries are responsible for the acts of in
surgents against the rights and property
of foreigners, even If these acts are be-
yOnd their control.

FOREIGN MINISTER'S UNDlsTuRsED
Cabinet Meeting at Washington known
to Have Settled That Point.

to Have Settled That Point.
Washington, March 22.-The cabinet
meeting today lasted but two hours. The
session is said to have been uneventful.
and there is said to have been entire alb
sence of friction between the members
although the principal subjects under dis
cussion, relating to the various complica-
tions in which we have become involved
with certain foreign causes, were well
calculated to exhibit diversified individ-
ual views. 1t is presumed that the atti-
tude OF Great Britain toward Venezuela
and Nicaragua were canvassed, but as
far as can be gathered the secretary of
state had no new matter touching this to
impart. and 1t was not believed to be nee
essary to take any positive action.
In view of the more weighty matters
now engaging the attention of the admin
istration, it is stated that foreign minis
ters in Washington are likely to be for
the present left undisturbed In their rela-
tons with our government.
No answer beyond a purely perfunctory
one acknowledging the receipt of our
communication and promising to make
Investigations has been returned by Spain
to our demand in the Alliancia affair.

DEFENSE OF MINISTER THURsToN
Friends of the Hawaiian Diplomat Think
He Has Been Mistrcatcd

He Has Been Mistreated.
Washington, March 21-Although Mr..
Thurston, the Hawaiian minister refuses
10 discuss the cause that led to his es-
arrangement with Gresham, his friends
think IL only fair to him to refute the
published allegation that he has betrayed
diplomatic secrets. Admitting that Mr..
Thurston did as is alleged, his friends as
sert that he did not exceed his diplomatic
duties in the slightest respect in making
public the sentences imposed on several
OF the Hawaiian conspirators by the mil
itary court. The proceedings of the court
were conducted openly and the sentences
of the prisoners had been published in
Hawaii and all the facts reached the
American people by steamer. Mr.. Thurs
toms friends say he never betrayed an
official communication or abused official
confidence in the correspondence between
his government and himself and the gov
eminent of the United States or any OF
its representatives.
1t is admitted that IL would have been
a manifest improperly for him to have
divulged any information from the secre-
tary of state touching the relations be-
tween Hawaii and the United States. At
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1895-03-30

the same time 1t is claimed for him that
he was perfectly free to publish any in
formation he desired in regard to events
in the Hawaiian republic that came into
his possession entirely Independent of the
state department, provided he did not
comment on the action of the United
States government in regard thereto The
suggestion is made here that movement
will be made in the future looking to
Hawaiian annexation and that Thurstons
intimate knowledge of the affairs, both
in this country and in Hawaii, will lead
TO his having prominent connection with
any commission on the part of Hawaii to
negotiate for terms of admission to the
United States.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE
England Claims Valuable waterways
and Rich Mining Regions

and Rich Mining Regions.
Washington, March 22.-United States
territorial rights in Alaska as against
the British claims there have again been
brought to the attention of the state de-
partment. Under the reports of the
American boundary commission and the
Anglo-Canadian boundary commission of
last year, England lays claim to large
and valuable portions of Alaska, both in
the interior and on the seaboard. which
had previously been regarded as Amer
lean territory. II is also true that both
of the commissions of the survey came
to very nearly the same conclusion re-
garding the questions which they had
been appointed to settle. There were,
however. divers opoinions between them
regarding certain matters which can not
be overlooked.
The fundamental fact to be kept In
mind regarding Alaska and the joint Brit
ish and American survey of IT is that the
boundaries will not be finally settled I'M
til they have been made the subject of
diplomatic negotiations between the gov
eminent at London and at Washington,
under the terms Of the treaty of 1925 be-
tween Russia and Great Britain. by
which treaty our own rights must be de-
termined.
Since the completion of the survey it is
.he negotiating authorities of the two
powers in interest that must attempt to
determine the validity of their respective
claims in SO far as they may conflict,
and the English desire that the line shall
be drawn so as to cross some of the
broad inlets in the southwest through
which they can obtain direct access to
their own domains from the sea, and
near which they can establish fortifica-
tions that may yet be serviceable to
them.
