wAsutSGToN. March 21.-Tho so-called

by Italy against the United Statcs on
account Of the New Orleans riots in $500,
which claim was settled by the payment OF a
certain sum OF money out Of the state Depart

the I'raan demand now simply becomes one for
person al damages inflicted upon British proper

out OF controversy the question whether the o.
currence was upon Venezuelan territory as
being irrelevant.

constable. was arrested in July, 1894. by Nenez-

uelan planter from cutting trees on land which
he owned. the Venezuelan Government paid
Barnes $500 or $500 on account of his i'm
prisonment, which lie personally considered as
satisfactory. But when the Colonial Govern

in Demerara, and the damages were soon mag
niied to enormous amounts, which at that
period the home Government felt constrained to
present as u claim against Venezuela. After
two years, however. and in view Of the changed
aspect OF the boundary dispute. the claim has

about what Venezuela will pay. with the dis

JAMAICA. l.. l., March 2l.-The will of the
late Adolph Ladcnburg was filed to-day in the
Surrogate's office. AS that Office closed at noon
copies of the document could not be obtained.
Mr.. Ladenburg, who was the senior member
of the banking firm of Ladenburg. Thalman %
Co., was lost overheard from the steamship
Niagara on Feb. 10. His entire estate, real
and personal. was bequeathed to the widow,
the will having been made before the birth of
Mr.. Ladenburg's infant daughter, Eugene
Mary. Mrs. I.adenburg says she Is unable to
estimate the value Of the estate.
The birth OF the child subsequent to the sign.
ing of the will. 60 1t Is understood. invalidates
the will as to that child. That Is TO say, the
child will get one'half of Mr.; Ladenburg's
personal property and all of the real estate
subject to the dover right of the mother.
Should legal proceedings be taken to contest
the will, they would, virtually, be to allow Mrs.
Ladenburg to become executrix.
