feeling prevailing among Venszuelans is
that the pending question would ulti-
mately be settled without war; Nobody

The case of the American horse owner,
Robert T. Kneebs, convicted last Monday
and sentenced to nine months imprison-
ment and fined 1000 marks for starting
on the German tracks, an entry alleged
to have been the mare Bethel. under the
name of Nellie Kneers, has taken devel-
opments which may lead to diplomatic
communications between Berlin
and Washington. One of the
German consuls in the United
States in certifying to the signatures ap
pended to the dispositions, of some Of
Knee bs's witnesses, characterized the
witnesses as unworthy of belief and de-
ciared their testimony " or5h only so
many dollars, implying that they We're
paid for what they had sworn to. and
sworn to only what they were paid for.
Such statement accompanying the doc
umentS received here, is held to be a
breach of law. The consul, it is contend
cd, had no right TO communicate to his
character OF American witnesses. nor had
he right to take any other course, than
10 send the papers to Berlin for what
they were worth without comm ent.
The authorities are puzzled to know
what to do with the mare Bethel, or Nell
lie Kneebs, which according to the judg-
ment of the court, was forfeited to the
state. Kneebs has given notice of an
appeal against the verdict and sentence
against him, and pending the decision of
the imperial court upon the appeal, the
mare must be kept at the expense of the
authorities. If kneebs succeeds in his
appeal, he will claim damages from the
authorities for any deterioration in the
form or condition of tho mare, if he
can prove there has been any. There can
scarcely be any successful appeal against
such finding. kneehs says he is very
much surprised at the verdict of the jury
in his case and declares he will produce
the real Bethel, which is now in America
before the imperial court when the heer-
ing of the appeal comes up.
