sired 10 accompany him, as it was deemed
expedient titat he should have compan-
ion. Following this application came
telegram from Capt. BOurke, who was at
his post, Fort Ethan Allen, VT, request
ing expedition in the matter and the de-
partment accordingly granted the leave
and permission TO go beyond sea- IN the
belief that a voyage to Europe was con-
templated. This was a very natural mis-
take on the part of the department, as
officers asking leave of absence to go to
Cuba usually qualify their request Ito
go beyond sea-" with the statement that
they wish to visit the West Indies. Wheth-
er or not the war department will direct
Capt. BOurke to return to the United
States has not been determined, but 1t
is probable that he viii be allowed to re-
main in Havana with the understanding
that he will not visit any other places in
the perturbed island.
Capt Bourke is thoroughly conversant
with the Spanish language and has been
of great value in guerilla warfare along
the Mexican border of the United States.

PATrERsoN's LIFE IN PERIL.
The killing of His wife Now Held 10
BE Murder.

Atlanta, Ca, March 16. a special from
Gainesville says that Henry Patterson has
been arrested for wife murder Patter-
son is the Hall county mountaineer far
mer who claimed that he shot his wife
by accident last week. Patterson went to
Gainesville on Friday last and reported
that on the night before he had loaded
his gun and stepped out TO shoot
chicken and that the gun failed to fire He
said that he went back into the house
for another cap and IN the attempt 10
substitute it the hammer slipped and the
gun fired, sending the load into the head
Of his wife, who was lying on the bed
beside her little baby. The story was not
a plausible one and when the inquest
was held the coroner demanded an ex-
animation of the dead woman's head.
The relatives of the young man who had
assembled and were seemingly bereaved
objected and the corners jury returned
verdict against the protests Of the coro-
ner that the killing wes accidental.
The bed disclosed no signs of shot, and
on the woman's forehead was wound
as if made by the wadding of a gun at
close range. The baby that was lying be-
side its mother was unhurt The body
was inferred in short order but Coroner
Dorsey was satisfied that there was foul
play, and yesterday, In company with
Sheriff Mundy, Solicitor General Thomp-
son and DR.. r.. H. Ham went to the prem
ises and exhumed the body. On eXamina-
tion DIR. Ham found that the womans
skull was crushed in the front and behind
as if by an AK, and there were no wounds
that could possibly have been made by
shot from a gun. The examination was
conclusive that the young wife had been
most brutally murdered, and that after
she was dead she was shot in the fore
head with a gun, that contained only wad-
ding, the latter making the scorched
wound on the front Of the forehead. Pat
terson was Immediately arrested and
brought here. Indignation is running
high, and Gainesville is full Of people to-
night from the country district where the
crime was committed.

Washington, March 16-The news from

VENEZUELAN ARBITRATION.
negotiations in Progress With Great
Britain.


London, March 16.-In the House Of
Commons to-day Sir Albert Kair Rollett,
independent conservative, member for the
south division of Islington, asked what
truth there was in the reports that the
United States had expressed a willingness
that the Venezuelan dispute be referred
to joint committee for consideration and
settlement.
Rt. Hon. George N Cuzron, parliament
ary secretary to the foreign office, replied
that the government had received official
proposals from the United States gov
ernment upon the subject of the Nene-
zuelan difficulty and that these proposals
were in course Of negotiation, and, there
fore, he could not communicate them to
the House. Mr.. Cuzron, however, stated
that the proposals made by the United
States were not accurately described by
the language in question.
Washington, March 16.-While state de-
partment officials decline to divulge the
nature of Secretary Olney's latest sug-
gestion to Lord Salisbury in regard to
a suggested method of settling the Vene-
zuelan dispute, 1t is understood that
way has been opened for negotiations
which are expected to result in some plan
of adjustment of the boundary claims
satisfactory to all concerned. The reply of
Great Britain to Mr.. Olneys proposal has
not yet actually reached the state de-
partment but it is on the way and there
is good reason for the belief that Sir Ju-
nan GduuCeIOle, lne brlllSn Ambassador
has within the past tWenty-four hours,
received full instructions to enter into
negotiations here on the subject. The ar
rival in Washington just at this juno
ture of Sir Henry Stafford North cote,
member of parliament for Exeter and
diplomat and treaty negotiator of wide
experience, has been associated with the
Venezuelan affair. Sir Stafford Northcote,
however, asserts that his visit is purely
personal. He took luncheon with Sir Ju
liam Pauncefote to-day.
Sir Stafford Northcote accompanied the
Marquis of Ripon to Washington to
arrang the Alabmaa claims trea-
ty of 1871 serving as secre-
tary of the British claims COM
mission, and he was Lord Salisbury s
private secretary at Constantinople IN
1876, during the important negotiations
then in progress. He has always been
regarded as an extremely valuable man
in just such negotiations as are now
about to take place in Washington. Dip
lOmatic relations between Venezuelan and
Great Britain have been suspended for
some years and Minister Andrade and Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the representatives, of
those respective nations in Washington
have heretofore held no official commune
cation. On Wednesday next a state din
ner to Secretary Olney will be given by
the British ambassador. The Venezuelan
minister has accepted an invitation to the
reception which is to follow. 1t is possi-
BILE this occasion may be made the means
of bringing about a resumption of diplo-
matte as well as social amenities between
the diplomats concerned.

Cannes, March 1.-THE yacht race for

time in completing two rounds. The wind
died away completely and it was impossi-
BILE to finish the race before sundown. The
race was, therefore, declared off. 1t will
be sailed on Wednesday. The race for the
small raters was won by the Samphire,
which beat the Rebello Stephannia, St
Marcel JoYeuse and Dusky Queen.
