AMERICAN SHIP SEIZED.
1t Was Afterward Released on the
COnsuPs Demand.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The steamship
Merida of the Red D line. which plies along
the coast of Venezuela. is now at anchor
here. The steamship Maracaibo of the Red
D line on April 10 entered the harbor Of
the Venezuelan port of Maracaibo. The
ship was searched and 1000 cartridges
were found, for which no accounting had
been made. That night a guard of eight
soldiers paced the decks of the Maracaibo.
The officers of the steamship were con-
fined.
The following day Haley. the engineer,
confessed that he alone was responsible
for the cartridges. He was promptly plac-
ed under arrest and hurried to the JAIL
Word was sent to the American consul
Col. Plumacher. The consul at once de-
manded the release of the steamship and
engineer, the former on the ground that
the company was ignorant of the crime
and Haley on the ground that he was an
American citizen and his offense was COM
mitted on an American ship.
President Crespo Immediately ordered the
release Of the steamer and her engineer.
The guard was taken off, but too late for
the vessel to proceed to this port on her
schedule time. The Merida was according
ly loaded with the cargo intended for the
Maracaibo and sent on to New York.

BUCHANAN GIVEN TIME.
Scene In the Prison When Reprfeve
Was Announced.

Was Announced.
SING SING, N. Y, May 1.-The telephone
in the warden's Office told Warden Sage
last night the opinion Of the attorney gen.
eral that the execution of DR.. Buchanan
had better be delayed. Leaning in the
doorway between the office and parlor was
Mrs. Buchanan. When the warden an
nounced the message Lawyer Gibbons and
his conferees rushed over and shook hands
with Mrs. Buchanan, while the tears
streamed down her cheeks, and Mrs. Cole
man. her companion, Rugged her rapturous-
ly. Warden Sage went Immediately to the
death house.
Il have news" said the warden to Bu-
morrow
The condemned man sprang to his feet
came to the front of the cell and said: rs
that true, Mr.. WardenT'
Yes and 1 will send your wife to you"
In few minutes Mrs. Buchanan appear
ed at the door. 1t seemed difficult for
Buchanan to believe the story of his good
luck, for he had told his guards that he
had made up his mind to die.
For three hours the wife stayed talking
to her husband. and when she left him she
had him buoyed up with hope that he
would finally escape. His counsel also babe
him hope that they would be ultimately
successful. Warden Sage had made the
most elaborate preparations for the execu-
ton. A special detail of men had been
selected to watch the dynamos and electric
wires during the night and extra precau-
lions had been taken in the death house
A few of the witnesses arrived in the after
noon, but will return home today.
ALBANY. N. Y. May 1.--Governor Nor
ton has granted a respite of one week from
today to DR.. Buchanan, the murderer con-
fined in Sing Sing, to permit of the dis

A Big Hole in the San Francisco
Treasury.
PLAN TO GEORGE TEE CONTRACTORS
April Bills viii Not Be Approved
Unless Supplies Are Furnished.
THE FIRE CHIEFS REPORT

SAN FRANCISCO Cal, May 1.-The es-
| innate of the auditor of the city and county
of San Francisco that there would be de-
| felt in the treasury at the end of the fiscal
year-July-of S350,000. and the fact that
the payment Of the April bills of contract
ors for supplies will exhaust the fund ap-
portioned for that purpose, has led to a
crisis. which is now at it's acute stage.
This is the last day of grace on which the
contractors will furnish supplies to the city
authorities until they have allowed their
claims This warning they will make good
or they will have to recant their threat to
shut off supplies and thus virtually force
the city officials into acquiescence by starv-
ing their charges in the Jail, aims house
and hospitals.
Auditor Broderick took a hand In the
trouble for the first time this year. an
| nouncing that unless the contractors con-
sented to furnish supplies for May and
June he would not sign their warrants for
April. He seemed to be quite certain that
this drastic measure of reprisal would
bring the contractors around more speedily
than hundred meetings of officers.
Nevertheless the latter held another
meeting and adopted a resolution waiving
their salary claims for May. so that there
will be an ample fund in the treasury to
purchase all the supplies that will be
needed for six months. All that is needed
now Is the acquiescence of the contractors
to this plan.
The contractors have so far not indicated
their intentions in the matter, but they say
that they do not think that they can be
compelled to furnish supplies under their
contracts when there is no money in the
treasury.
Reports from the several institutions of
the city last night show that none Of them
are in position to exist beyond few
days. The county JAIL especially, is in
bad plight. Acting Chief Dougherty said
that unless supplies were furnished today
he would be compelled to disband the fire
department. as both feed and coal was ex-
nausted. The matter will have to be de-
cided today.

and vice versa, and the same is true of
passengers on the Metropolitan with the
Belt and lexington roads. The transfer
system between the Washington and
Georgetown and the Belt road is as fol-
lows: Passengers on the former road go
ing south are transferred at 18th and the
avenue to the Belt road. and from the Belt
road to the Washington and Georgetown
east and west by the payment of two cents.
Passengers going to and from Georgetown
on the Washington and Georgetown, and
on the lexington road, are transferred at
18th and G streets by the payment of two
cents

9Th and F to passengers wishing to take the
lexington road at that point, and also at
9Th and d. and the lexington gives similar
transfers. At 18th and the Belt road
gives transfers to passengers going east
and west on the Metropolitan. and the lat

THE MOON AND THE GAS.
The Schedule ms Arranged Officially
for May.

Public attention was called once or twice
during the month of April to the matter
OF the system in vogue of lighting the
Streets of Washington by gas, owing to the
failure of somebody to cause the lamps to
be lighted on dark nights when the moon
was scheduled to appear. when she was
obStructed from doing so by the clouds.
Thus there Is some interest now attaching
to the schedule furnished to the gas light
company for the month of May and the
engineer department of the District gov
eminent. The first fifteen days Of the
month cover what Is known as the moon
PERIOD" and on the printed schedule that
Is furnished to each of the lamplighters by
the company a brace including these fif-
teen days, contains this order: IF not
raining any Of these nights report for or
ders at $50 pm" This is change from
the line that has been in vogue heretofore
In that the men are to report a quarter of
an hour later, which makes it almost GER
tain that no mistakes will again be made
unless somebody at the District Office fails
to properly prognosticate on the cloud
question before that hour. The difference
of quarter Of an hour may not matter
much, but 1t has been deemed wise to take
every precaution- If it should be raining
on any of these fifteen nights the lamps
shall be lighted without the receipt of any
instructions as on all the other nights of
the month. The schedule for the month is
follows:
May l. from TIL pm to S:2s am; May

Yesterday afternoon a neatly dressed
young woman stood on the steps in front
Of the city hall and waited for the return

them one for life. But the young man did

would not tell his name. but said he was
employed in the insane asylum at Cations

He wouldn't have done such a thing If
he hadn't been drinking she said.
Then" she was told, you made happy

But he didn't intend to disappoint me-"
the young woman said, land it was only
because he had been drinking
Annie's conduct and conversation indi-
Gated that she believes he will still be true
to her. and persons who conversed with
her think they will be married later.
