Documents Received at New York
and will be Forwarded to
WASHINGTON.

Washington. D. c.. March 21.-The
latest mail from La Guayara contains
the long-expected addition to the case.
of Venezuela as it will be laid before
the Venezuela boundary commission.
The work was undertaken at Caracas by
a volunteer commission, whose services
were accepted by the Venezuelan govern
ment and which collected all of the ma
terial accessible in Venezuela bearing
upon the boundary dispute. The mat
ter so far collected was dispatched
promptly by the home government to it's
minister here, Senior Andrade. and while
the documents themselves are now in
New York. the advance mail has brought
to Washington complete list of the pa
pers comprised in the first installment.
There are thirty-two copies of the orig
inal manuscript records in the lot, but
these. after all, are of secondary impor-
lance in comparison with the large num-
Der of maps and charts that have been
gathered to sustain the Venezuelan case.
In this first lot of matter there are no
less than sixty such maps and in addi-
ton there are references TO almost twice
as many additional charts that may be
readily obtained. This store of materi-
al will be turned over to the Venezuela
commission as soon as it can be put in
order

London, March 23.-Lord Salisbury

of Anglo-American arbitration of the
Venezuelan question adopted by the
Peace society at Il meeting in Queen $

iSbury says:
Il am glad to be able to inform YOU
that this question is receiving the con-
sidcration of the government and that
proposals in the direction indicated by
the memorial are now before the gov
eminent o. the United States
The Daily News GiberaD has an edi-
torial Oh Lord Salisbury's reply to the
memorial of the Peace association for
arbitration of the Venezuelan dispute in
which it says: Lord Salisbury's letter
is the most hopeful word we have had
for a long time from the premier. We
hone that it portends definite clearing
of the international Situatio in one of
tne- stormiest quarters. We may even
dream that it will presage a new and
brighter era in the worlds history. 1t
is lot perfectly clear whether the Ques-
ton has been advanced stage. or
whether the government has merely con-
tirmed and adopted Lord Rosebery' $
policy. If Lord Salisbury is able to
convert his words into deeds. he will
go far to make his present term OF of
Zee illustrious and fienefcent."
The Chronicle, also Liberal. echoes the
Daily News hope that the United
States will reciprocate our good will.
-'If So" the Chronicle adds. there is no
need to trouble ourselves further about

CHANGES IN THE ARMY.'''
One Thing is Certain, the Fifteenth
Infantry will be Moved
from Fort Sheridan.

Chicago. Ill.,, March PA special
from Washington says that it is learned
at the war department that Gen. Miles
has sent his report to the secretary OF
war making recommendations concern
ing the annual movement of troops
throughout the country. Although the
report is closely guarded. enough has
been learned to show that it cOntemplates
the possible movement of the First. Sec
ond. Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth
and Twenty fourth regiments of infantry
in addition to some transfers in the cav
airy and artillery branches of the serv-
ices Gen. Miles suggests it would be
wise to make short territorial changes
and more of them to give troops the ben
eft of service in different parts of the
country.
One of the officers of the war depart
ment in speaking about the report said:
at looks now as if the Twenty-fourth
infantry might change places with the
Fifteenth now stationed at Fort Sheri-
dan. Ill. The Twenty-fourth has been
in the West steadily ever since the war
and has been stationed in the wilds of
New Mexico and Arizona since 1883. 1t
the policy of short Transfers is carried
out and Gen. Miles seems much in favor
of it. the Second infantry, now at Fort
Omaha, will naturally come to Chicago
and go into garrison at Fort Sheridan"
There is little doubt that the Fifteenth
will be changed, anyhow. The scandals
that have arisen at that post since the
Fifteenth was garrisoncd there have
caused the heads of the army much
annoyance. The attempted shooting of
Col. Crofton by Lieut.. Pague was only
one of them and now. only yesterday,
Private Allen fatally shot Daniel Call,
a cOmrade. during Il quarrel.

MILLIKEN IS ACQUITTED.
Found Not Guilty Of Attempting to
Assault Miss Gertrude
Phillips.

Washington, d. c., March 21.-Benja-

Tennessee. was acquitted of the charge
of housebrcaking with intent to commit
an assault on Miss Gertrude Phillips,
daughter of eX-SolicitOr-G General Phil

est. but developed nothing of a really
sensational nature. The defense was
that Mililsen was drunk on July i, that
he called on Miss Phillips at her home,
that she refused to see him. that he
entered the parlor unnoticed. fell asleep
and in his drunken condition retired, as
he thought. to his room, and did not
discover his mistake until sobcred by
hearing the screams of Miss Phillips
and her sister.
From a legal aspect. the case, which
involved a possible maximum sentence
of fifteen years in the penitentjary, de-
pended on whether or not Miliken was
in such a state of intoXication that he
could not have formed the intent as
cribed to him in the Indictment.
The jury was out practically an even
twenty-folr hours. They retired at
11:40 yesterday morning. The balloting
was repeated dozen times during the
day with 9 to ) for acquittal. when the
jurors were locked up for the night.
Twice this morning they reported they
were unable to agree. The first time
was ut 10 o'clock, when Judge Cole sent
to the jury room to know if they had
reached Il conclusion, and the latter time
was ut lao. when Judge Cole called
them into court and urged them to agree
at once if possible and said that the
case was not one which necessitatec
any long delays. The three jurors IA

their votes and the report of not guilty

Cleveland. O., March 21.-The leading
ore producers have been in secret ses-

agreement relative to fixing a universal

final. 1t is understood that the general
price of standard Bessemer ores was
