TO FRAME A new TREATY.
NEGOTIATIONS WITH GREAT BRIT
AIN CONCERNING BERING
SEA SEIZURES.
MEANS MAY ALSO BE ADOPTED
FOR THE BETTER PROTECTION
OF SEALS.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Prelimin-
aries are to be arranged for the framing of
new treaty between the United States
and Great Britain concerning the Boring
Sea seizures. The negotiations will be
carried on in Washington. Sir Charles
Topper, Minister of Marine and Fisheries
for Canada and other leading statesmen
of the Dominion will come here to cooper
ate with Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, concerning the terms of the
treaty. The projected treaty is rendered
necessary by the inaction of Congress on
the Boring Sea seizure claims
It's purpose will be to create a commission
to hear all the evidence and determine the
amount of indemnity to be paid the seized
sealers. After being signed the treaty will
have to be submitted to the Senate for
ratification, and unless there is an extra
session this cannot be accomplished before
next December. Another phase of the
seal question which may come up stimuli
taneously with the adjustment of the
claims is the framing of modus vivendi
or other means of protecting the seals in
Boring Sea.

England to Secure a Peaceful Settlement
Wjth Nicaragua.

Hdh NtCNFNDHU'
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The trouble
between Nicaragua and Great Britain,
which has threatened to entangle the
United States, has not assumed the bellig-
erent aspect made out by recent reports.
These untrue reports were to the effect
would be no encroachment on American
soil, and with this understanding Great
Britain may lombard Greytown without
the Intervention of the United States.
That Great Britain made any such repre-
sensations is discredited by those best adj
yised on the subject. 1t is known definitely
ttat Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ham on the Nicaraguan question and has
no communication whatever on the sub
iect.
From the standpoint of Nicaraguan Off
Gals the question is readily susceptible of
peaceful adjustment and there is not re-
mote chance of a bonn bardment of Grey
town. General Barrios, the special envoy
OF Nicaragua, who recently left here for
home, will soon return to Washington.
From the British standpoint the trouble
with Nicaragua is one in which the interests
of the United States and Great Britain are
similar, as when the British Vice-Consul,
Mr. Hatch, was expelled from Nicaragua
several citizens of the United States were
also expelled. the latter were allowed to
return, but it is believed an indemnity for
their expulsion was quietly paid.

Attitude of England Toward
Venezuela and Mica

MINISTERS NOW OVERLOOKED

Hastily.

WASHINGTON, March 22-The Cabi-
net meeting to-day lasted but two hours,
every body being present but Secretary Car
Isle, who was in New York. The session
is said to have been uneventful, and there
is said to have been an entire absence of
friction between the members although
the principal subjects under discussion re-
lating to the various complications into
which the United States has become in
volved with certain foreign countries were
well calculated to exhibit diversified indi-
vidual views.
1t is presumed that the attitude of Great
Britain toward Venezuela and Nicaragua
was canvassed, but as far as can be gath
cred, the Secretary of State had no new
matter touching this to impart, and it was
not believed to be necessary to take any
positive action at this juncture in the pro-
ceedings.
In view of the more weighty matters
now engaging the attention of the admin
istration, it is stated that foreign Ministers
in Washington are likely to be for the pres
ent left undisturbed in their relations with
our Government.

Washtngton's Hi1ter Weather Plays
Havoc Wtth the Sequoid.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The in
clement weather of the past winter has
had a serious effect on the trunk of the
Large sequoia or California redwood tree,
that was such a great attraction at the
Worlds Fair, and was afterward brought
to Washington and set up in the grounds
of the Agricultural Department. Large
portions of the bark of the tree have fallen
off as the result OF exposure to rain and
frosts. Workmen are now engaged in re-
placing these pieces, holding them in place
by wrapping wire tightly around the tree,
and when this is completed an umbrella
like covering will be erected over the top of
the trunk, sufficient to keep the rain from
dropping down the sides. The trunk is
about thirty feet in height, and probably
about half as thick.

attack upon Bocas del Toro. The attack
ing party consisted of fifty men, under the

After landing under the cover of dark
ness, the rebels captured the policemen on

During the fighting ten rebels were
killed, fifteen were wounded and twenty
five were taken prisoners. On the Govern
ment side four were killed and nine
wounded. Among the rebels killed were

saw these two men fall they retreated
toward the outskirts and disappeared in
the brush. During the encounter AN at
tempt was made to set fire to the town.
Castro saturated the side of house with
kerosene and was in the act of lighting a
match to start the confagration, when he
was noticed by soldier, who shot him dead.
The rebels also made an unsuccessful at
tempt to use dynamite. Several women
were killed. Miss Nellie Isaacs, the Gov
eminent schoolmistress, is reported among
those slain. A Government official after
the engagement captured the schooner
Favor de Dios and found on board eighty
rifles, 10000 cartridges, and blankets, cloth
ing and rations for the rebels.

BANDIT GARzAs LAST RALLY.
official Confirmation of the Notorious
OutEdtC's Death.

OHtctGt CONFIRMATION of the Notorious
OutEd,U's Death.
WASHINGTON, March %. - Writing
under date of San Jose, Costa RIGA, March
10, United States Minister Baker confirms
the report of the death of CARA, the noto-
rious Mexican revolutionist and outlaw
The Minister says that Cara for some
time past has been residing in Costa Rica
but recently left Port Limon for San Juan
del Norte, Nicaragua. At that place he
gathered around him some thirty men,
chiefly Colombian exiles, and secured
money and quantity of small arms. A
party embarked on the I'd inst, landing
the following day at Cahuita, Costa RIGA,
thirty-five miles south of Port Limon.
Here Cara took quarters with an Ameri-
can named Reynolds and awaited the ex-
pected arrival of the Colombian exiles
from the interior. In this, however, he
was disappointed, as this Government i'm
mediately stopped communication with
Port Cahuita, and dispatched body of
soldiers by land to capture the revolution
lists. Cara received warning of the ap-
proach of the troops, and with sixty fol-
lowers embarked in two small boats for
Bocas del Toro. Colombia. Upon arriving
at that point, the party at once attacked
the barracks, but was defeated. Cara and
eleven followers, including DR.. Plercia
Castro, second in command, and General
Morecia were killed. The remainder of
the party were taken prisoners.

SOME DEvILIsH DEVICES,
Prisoners Handcuffed in tbs
"Hole" and Slowly Suf-
located.
OTHER MEANS OF TORMENT
Triced Up Until They Are Consid-
cred Sufficiently Punished or
Faint Away.

OMAHA, March pa special to the
Bee from Lincoln, Nebr., says: Testimony
taken by the joint committee appointed
by the House and Senate to investigate the
condition and management of the State
Penltentiary was submitted. 1t covers
about fifty pages of typewriter manu-
script.
The fact seems to have been pretty
clearly established that some form of pun
ishment inflicted at the penitentiary is I'M
necessarily harsh. The investigation also
brought out the fact that the favorite form
of torture at the penitentiary consisted Of
placing the convict in the "hole," or dark
cellar, with his hands handcuffed and
drawn up toward the back of his neck with
a rope first passed around his neck in such
manner that every effort made by the
man undergoing punishment to lower his
hands from the painful elevation drew the
rope so tightly behind his neck that suffo-
cation would ensue.
The committee then recommended that
this form of punishment be dispensed with.
This recommendation seems to have been
neglected to some extent, but new mode
of torture has been brought into promi-
nence.
The convicts are handcuffed to rope.
The other end of the rope is passed over
pulley in the ceiling and the convict hauled
up until he can barely touch the floor with
his toes. He is left in this position until
he is either sufficiently punished or faints
dead away. In the latter case he is let
| down, a bucket of water thrown over him
to revive him, and he is then conducted
back to his cell or cot in the hospital.
Many persons testified to these facts and
the committee reported in favor of
system of leasing the penitentiary, which
will probably be adopted.
