Armenian Refugees.

New York, Nov. H. The steam
ship Boyne, of the Mercantile Steam
ship company. of London, arrived in
port on Friday from Gibralter and
Mediterranean ports. Capt. Fisher told
a remarkable story to Collector of Port
Kibreth and others, as to why he had
entered port without manifest. His
ship lay at anchor off Smyrna, Turkey,
in Asia, on Oct. 10. There had been
several riots in Smyrna for three or
four days and the cries of the victims
OF the assassins came over the waters
that evening. A small boat came up
and an aged man begged permission
to go aboard. With him were six 9TH
ers, three of them women, all Armenian
refugees. Capt. Fischer assented. and
in order to be on the safe side the rel.
ugees were registered as passengers.
Not long after boatload Of Turks
came aboard. Capt Fischer refused
to deliver the refugees.
The Turkish officer said he would
give the Britisher until morning to
turn over the Armenians. Capt. Fisch-
er sought assistance. An Italian man
of-war refused to interfere. When
dawn came the United States warship
Minneapolis came into the bay. The
British flag was swinging upside down
and the Minneapolis lookout saw the
signal of distress. Capt. Fischer told
his story and Admiral Thomas @. Self
ridge, Jr.. commandant of the Europea
ridge, Jr., commandant of the European
squadron, said:
I'VE will give you all the assistance
you want. You take the refugees safe
ly out of this port if have to lombard

the barge with detail of marines and
blue jackets over to the British ship
! with orders to hold her safe from at
tack. Then the American consul was
sent for and it was agreed that the
Boyne should sail at once under the
escort of the Minneapolis. Soon bloody
Smyrna was many miles behind, but
the captain had forgotten his mani
fest.
The Armenians were landed at Ellis

tENEZUELAN DISPUTE
.o,,npARY QUESTION SETTLED
AT LAST.
-. to be Decided by an International Ar

s,s,ement Brought About the An
noupcement.

Washington, Nov. II. 49, The king
= sweden and Norway, Oscar H., has
soen chosen by treaty between the
1;uited States and Great Britain as the
sfth of f1al arbitrator of the Venezue-
I'm boundary question. The other ar
,;,rotors. four in number, are to be
dosgnated. two by the lord chief JUS
t,ce OF England and two by the chief
4uatice of the United States. This is
no final and most important feature Of
4he treaty for the complete adjustment
osthe pending Venezuelan controversy.
The treaty was concluded in Washing
,on Monday night, at the British en-
assy. Sir Julian Pauncefote represent
ing her Britannia majesty and Secre-
tary Olney the United States.
Since the return Of Sir Julian Paun-
rpfote from London three weeks ago,
Negotiations toward a final settlement
have been proceeding. Most Of the
meetings were of such an important
character that they were held either at
Nj. Olney's residence or at the British
embassy. the two houses being but two
blocks separated. 1t happened that the
concluding meeting was at the embassy
Monday and special interest was given
no Il from the fact that Lord Salisbury,
the British premier, was to make a
soeech at Guild Hall, London, in the
evening. 1t Is an annual event at which
the premier usually takes occasion to
review the status of the most important
International questions. For this rea-
son, it was desired, If possible, to ac-
quaint Lord Salisbury Of the final and
satisfactory adjustment of the Venezue-
Ian question in order that he might
make such announcement as he thor ght
III concerning it.
When Mr.. Olney and Sir Julian
reached their final conclusions, cable
gram was at once dispatched to Lord
Salisbury, notifying him Of the result
1T reached him within one hour of the
time when he went on the platform a,
Guild Hall, and It was the basis for his
announcement to England and the en-
tire world that the Venezuelan contro.
yersy was settled. 1t was general an.
nouncement without detail and withou,
any reference to the personnel Of the
court of arbitration.
Thus Washington and London par
ticipated in this eventul scene by which
the two leading English-speaking ma
lions reached an amicable means OF ad
justing the most troublesome interna
ti0nal question of recent years.

Mrs. Castle DISCHARGED

London, Nov. II. - Mrs. Walter M
Castle of San Francisco, who was SEN
fenced at the Clerkenwell sessions on
Friday last to three months imprison-
ment without hard labor, after having
pleaded guilty by the advice of counsel
to the charge of shoplfting, was re-
leased from Wormwood Scrubs pris-
on yesterday on medical grounds by
order of the home secretary, Sir Mat
thew White Ridley.
The commissioners of prisons. it ap-
pears, directed the medical board to in
quire into and report upon her condi-
tlon, which was causing anxiety to the
prison authorities. She was watched
day and night by special attendants in
the infrmary and was shown every at
tention possible. The commissioners,
after receiving the report of the medi-
cal board on the state Of Mrs. Castles
health, communicated with the home
secretary, who promptly ordered her
release from prison and that she be
placed under the care of her husband,
who has undertaken to take her back
to the United States without delay.
Mr.. Castle called at the home office
at II o'clock a. m, and was there in
formed that his wife would be released
at | o'clock. Accompanied by nurse,
he entered carriage and drove to
Wormwood Scrubs prison, where he
arrived at 12:45 p. m, the jailer usher
ed him into a waiting room, and, after
brief delay, Deputy Northrup granted
the usual permission for the carriage
to enter the gates and drive to the door
OF the hospital of the prison. There Mr..
Castle and nurse alighted and went to
the door. A few moments later, Mrs,
Castle, dressed in deep black, was al.
most carried out of the hospital by the
female attendants. She was deathly
pale, her face was tear-staned and she
appeared to be on the verge of col.
lapse, and sank fainting into her hus-
bands arms. He tenderly embraced
her and tried to console her. The
nurse enveloped Mrs. Castles face in a
heavy shawl and assisted her to the
carriage, where her head fell on hel
husbands shoulder and she sobbed hys.
terically.
AS the carriage passed out Of the
prison gates the driver applied his whir
and drove rapidly away

saved an express train from being
wrecked by dynamite short distance
east of Mitchell, Ind. A tramp about
a. m. found enough dynamite and nj
troglycerine placed on the track to
blow the engine to pieces as soon as II
struck it. Having no other mode OF
signaling, he ran to the nearest switch,
tore off the lamp, returned and signal
ed the approaching train. AS he did SO
ne was shot at by the wreckers, and
was found unconscious by the train
men. The officers of the Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern are inclined to
doubt the tramp's story. as they have
no information OF his being wounded,
nor his having shown any dynamite.
