ALLEGED FENCE UNEARTHED.
Police Think They Have Made
Big Find.

Detective Sutton thinks that yesterday
he discovered a fence" which, when
properly raided and turned up, Will re-
veal Il vast treasure OF stolen goods.
The place is conducted by John Harbaugh
and its number is 710 Second street. Har-
baugh has served several terms in Jail.
His place has been under suspicion for
many months, though it seemed Impossible
ever 10 procure the evidence necessary to
warrant a raid.
On Wednesday last Mrs. Sarah Ellis,
who lives at the Temple Hotel, missed her
watch, valued at $75. The waSherwoman
Of Mrs. Ellis is Mary Brown, ana her son
John Brown, aged fourteen years, had
brought home the laundry. Detective SUIT
ton arrested him on suspicion and ycster-
day he confessed.
He told that he had planted the watch
with Mrs. Harbaugh, No. 710 Second street.
This was enough for the detective. He
sought an interview with Mrs. Harbaugh.
She denied all knowledge OF the matter,
but a search Of the house brought up the
missing watch from the bottom of a tea
box. 1t is probable that the place will be
ralded today.

URUAN INCIDENT CLOSED.
Divorced From the Venezuelan Ques-
tion and Settled.

tion and Settled.
The so-called UruaD incident has been
divorced from the Venezuelan boundary
dispute and pra CT iCa lly terminated, il
is understood, through the good offices of
the United States, without the representa-
tives OF Grea Britain and the South Amer-
can republic coming into direct relations
regarding the affair.
This Uruan incident, sO.Called, had at
one time a somewhat threatening aspect
but finally developed into comparative in
significance, capable of exceedingly tame
al adiustnent 1T is StrenuOuSly COntended
by those most intimately concerned that
the incident never had al ultimatum stage
and that there was never any foundation
for the report that British fleet would
be called upon to initiate the Corinto DEM
oDStration.
While originally the claim presented
through the German legation in November,
1894, was for a violation OF the frontier
OF British Guiana, and therefore insepara-
BILE from the boundary controversy, at
Secretary Olncy's instance Great Britain,
n few weeks ago, modified it into de-
mand, similar i'll effect to that pressed
by Italy against the United States on ac-
count OF the New Orleans riots in 1890,
which claim was settled by President Har-
rison by the payment of a certain sum OF
money ont of the State Department con-
tingent fund.
II is understood that the Uruan demand
now simply becomes one for personal
damages inflicted upon British property
and persons by Venezuelan officials,
leaving out OF controversy the question
whether the occurrence was upon Vene-
Zuelan territory as being Irrelevant
When Douglas Barnes, the British Guiana
constable was arrested i'll July, 1894,
by Venezuelan soldiers on the right bank
OF the Cuyuni River, which he had crossed
TO stop Venezuelan planter from cutting
trees onland which Eeowncd, the en- eZuela II
government paid Barnes $500 or $400 on
account OF his imprisonment, which he
personally considered as satisfactory.
But when the colonial government heard
OF it, consderab bic Indignation arose IN
Demerara, and the damages were soon
magnified TO enormous amounts, which, at
that period, the home government felt
constrained TO present a claim against
Venezuela.
After two years, however, and in view
OF the changed aspect of the boundary dS-
pute, the claim has dwindled to $4,000, and
this amount is probably about what Vene-
zuela viii shortly pay, with the distinct
understanding that it does not affect the
title to the territory upon which the arrest
occurred.
