The other Trinidad (sometimes written
"Trinidade'') Is lonely bit of rock In tho
Atlantic ocean, a little northeast OF Rio
Gle Janeiro, being just south OF 2Os ). lat,
and just east of 500 w. long.
The British occupation OF the island
does not seem TO have attracted much at
tention as yet at the state department, but
IL is learned in some quarters that 1t Will
result In trouble between Great Britain
and Brazil. H
The island Is 700 miles east Of Rio do
Janeiro and Is a desolate mass OF rocks,
covered with stunted vegetation. Its pos
session by Brazil is based on treaty with
Portugal, in which the latter country
ceded to Brazil all the islands on that
coast As the island Of Trinidad was
Portuguese possession, it seems to be con-
elusive that IL now belongs TO Brazil.
1t does not gem possible that any use
could be made Of the island, except that
for which 1t is desired by Great Britain,
which seeks to establish a cable station on
it. The coast is rocky, and there is not
even an inlet along its line in which a ves-
sci or boat might seek shelter.
1t would require an immense expendi-
ture to make this mountain in the sea
desirable as coaling station, but IL this
were done, by the building Of great break
waters TO shelter vessels, IL would be an
impregnable fortress.

Grand Opportunity For United State
Capital In South America
FEELING AGAINST EUROPEANS
Leads Venezuelans to. Look to
Northern Neighbofs.

WARRINGTON, Aug 1.-One OF the oldest
In service and most experienced Of our
consuis, Mr.. Plumacher of Maraicabo has
made a report of great interest to the state
department, speaking freely of the trou-
bles Venezuela has had with European
nations seeking 10 seize upon her territory
and substance, and pointing out in strong
language the splendid opportunity open
TO the United States 10 extend our trade
with Venezuela at the expense Of other
nations.
The consul says that the past year has
been an eyentful one for Venezuela in her
efforts for economic and political 'reor-
ganization. He describes the opportunity
lost by the United States from 1890 20 1894,
owing To the refusal of Venezuela TO ac'
cept the reciprocity propositions Of the
United States but that since the duties
were decreased he notes a slight improve
ment in the exports to New York, increas'
ing from -, 600 600 TO 81, 100000.
He attributes the depression in Vene'
zuela to the financial and political trou
bles of that country, and says il the pres
ent crisis passes, the United States will
have great advantage, owing TO the dip.
lomatic complications with Germany and
Great Britain, our commercial rivals.
Bitter Against Germany and England.
"The Germans" he says, "are looked
upon with but little favor, on account OF
the threat to send German ironclads TO La
Guayara to enforce the payment of sub.
sidy due the builders of the principal
Venezuelan railway. The popular feeling
upon this point was intensified by "A sug.
gestion in leading newspaper that tho
Germans knew very well that such pay.
ment was just now an impossibility, IA
the country gas staggering under tho
burdens of the late war, and that they
neither expected nor desired payment,
but, encouraged by the example of Great
Britain, they probably imagined that il
might be possible TO secure u part of the
rich Guiana territory as an indemnity"
1.-THE feeling against Great Britain, ho
continues, sis now most intense through.
out Venezuela. Pamphlets and news.
papers are constantly being published re-
specting British aggressions, but as they
do not circulate outside the country tho
world at large is not acquainted with thu
state of feeling"
Good Chance For Americans.
Mr.. Plumacher says that on these ac
counts the United States is in much favor
especially as Venezuela is now, as never
before, looking TO the United States for
counsel and guidance. The people of thu
country would prefer 20 Trade with the
United States. New York is but six daya
from the Venezuelan coast. The Ameri
can steamship line has been one of the
principal factors in building up trade Oh
the coast.
Mr.. Plumacher also says: 1T Is 20
Americans also that Venezuela looka
today for the development of her grcai
natural resources, and the government
would be glad TO grant most favorable
concessions TO companies or individuals
from the United States who come In good
faith for that purpose"

THE ROCKY ISLAND OF TRINIDAD
Discovered by Portuguese and
Explored by Brazillans.

Sro DE JAyEIRo, Aug. 1.-The text or
the letter of the Brazilian minister OF
foreign affairs TO the envoy and minister
OF Great Britain In Brazil tells the history
of the island OF Trinidad, which Great
Britain has invaded, and possession Oh
which il presumes to retain.
Trinidad was discovered by the Portu-
guese in 1906. The English navigator. DIR.
Haley, arrived at the island and wrote
description of IL In his logbook in 100.
Cook took possession OF the island In his
majestys name in 1851. The Portuguese
recaptured Trinidad in 1852, and volun'
tarily abandoned it in 1875.
The conditions of the island have been
studied by the Brazilian government for
development as part of BraziPs domain.

Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1895-03-05

Belgium is waking up to the fact that
alcohol is king or soon will be if the
present ratio of increase in consumption
of alcoholic liquors with increase in popu-
lation continues The revenue from the
excise in 1851 was 40, 900 francs and
has now reached total of $4,000, 900
francs. more than an eight fold increase
in "A years. In the same period the num-
Der of public houses increased nearly
four fold and from 1851 to 1888 the crimi-
nality increased at the rate of 200 per
cent and insanity 1873 per cent, and it is
claimed that of every 100 deaths among
the male population so can be traced to
alcohol. The experts attempt to explain
this frightful increase of alcoholism by
attributing it to insufficiently nutritive
food among the laboring classes and
poisonous quality of the spirits which
modern greed and chemistry supply.
These conditions are doubtless responsible
in degree but until this woful harvest
is traced back to the seeds which genera
tions have been sowing and the truth
made clear to the minds of the people
there isn't much likelihood of permanent
improvement in the drunken condition
of Belgium or any other country.
