An American schooner seized.

Colon, Colombia. April 1.-The Ameri-
can schooner George. w. Whitford of
New York has been seized by the gun
boat Cordova six miles off Manzanillo.
The schooner was without cargo, but the
captain of the gunboat threatened to sink
her and put an officer on board and con-
veyed her here, accusing her of having
contravened the customs laws. Mr.. j..
L. Pearcy, United States consul here, is
actively endeavoring to obtain the re-
lease of the vessel, whose documents
have been sent to the United States con-
sul-general at Bogota. In the meantime
a force of police have been stationed on
board the schooner. In boarding the
schooner the gunboat fouled and dam
aged her, and the captain of the schooner
has declared his intention of seeking in
demnity for the damage to his vessel and
for her detention.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Proof of Spanish Atrocities Furnished by a
Spaniard, Who Saw Innocent Men
Shot Down.

Havana, April 1, via Tampa, Fla, April
2.-Jose Ramon Del Vale, a Spaniard,
who has been alcalde for some time of the
important town of Jovellanos, Matanzas
province. has resigned his position and
brought his family here. He sails for
Mexico tomorrow. He states as a rea-
son that he can no longer stand the ex-
eesses committed by the Spanfards
1.-The people of Havana have no idea
what atrocities are being committed. In
many parts of the island the troops pill
lage stores, residences and estates and
kill unarmed men. Unqu estionably they
are more to be feared than the insur-
gents. There is no safety for life or prop
erty outside of the cities and large towns.
While Colonel Vicuna's column was at
Joyellanos, three weeks ago, they met
three men on the outskirts coming to-
ward the town on the main highway.
The men We're unarmed. They were
halted and asked for their papers. They
had none and were Immediately shot.
Colonel Vicuna reported this officially as
victory over a party of insurgents, in
which the enemy had three dead and the
troops no losses Ten days ago detach-
ment of mounted guerrillas, under Lieu
tenant Paula, while foraging near Jovel-
lanos, came upon ten laborefs at work in
a field. The laborers shouted viva
Espana' as the troops approached, but
the latter fired a Volley, missing the Ia
borers, who threw themselves on their
faces on the ground, but Chinaman,
who was standing near by, received
bullet in the leg. He went to Lieutenant
Paula and showed his wound to him,
complaining at the action of Paulas men.
Paula said: you are going to tell tales
are you?" And drawing his sword he
killed the Chinaman. These instances
came under my personal observation
while 1 was alcalade, or mayor of the
town of JoyeNlanoS" CLARK.

Uproar I'm the Refchstag.

LONDON. March 2s.-During the discus
sion of the second reading of the bill in
troduced by Mr.. Walter Long. the president
of the Board OF Agriculture, providing for
the permanent exclusion of foreign bred
cattle, Mr. ]. Martin White, Liberal MEM
Der for Forfarshire and merchant of
New York city: Mr.. ]. Price. Liberal men,
Der for East Norfolk; the Right Hon. Sir
George Trevylan. Liberal member for the
Bridgeton division OF Glasgow, and others
opposed the measure. urging that there was
no danger in the importation Of Canadian
cattle, and claiming that the passage of
the bill would seriously injure British stock
raisers.
Right Hon. A. J. Mundella, Radical MEM
Der for Sheffield, and president of the Board
Of Trade in the former Liberal Ministry
thought that It would become necessary to
exclude Canada from the operation of the
bill. +9
Mr. A j. Balfour, the government leader,
spoke in favor OF the bill, repeating the
points in the argument made by Mr. Long,
its author. The bill was then read a second
time, receiving pa votes.
Mr.. Long, in reply, said that the bill was
only intended to give the security necessary
| to the farmers. Disease, he explained, re-
| mained latent for long time. Only recently
| there was an outbreak of pleuro-pneumonia
| in England, and a whole herd had TO be
killed. Continuing, Mr.. Long said that a
| case in 1892 which was only discovered by
accident, cost the country fl5,000, and IL oc-
| CURED in spite OF the examination made at
| the port of entry The government did not
desire to do anything which could be re-

| culture 10 make permanent the restrictions
| on the importation OF Canadian cattle papers
| were issued by the government tonight re-
| lating TO the importation of cattle.
The Board of Husbandry, writing to Mr..
! Chamberlain, Secretary OF State for the Col
| Onies on March 16, repeat their opinion that
| the proposals contained in Mr.. Longs bill
! are not more likely to prejudice the develop
ments OF the Canadian cattle trade than
| they have the trade In cattle from the United
| States.
| The Times has an editorial in which It ad-
| mits that Parliament is justified in fully de-
batting Mr.. Longs bill TO perpetuate the re-
| strictions on the importation OF Canadian
cattle "The debate has shown, however -
4 the Times adds, THAT Mr.. Long was acting
| on evidence and arguments which are diff
1 cult TO resist"
The Daily News and the Chronicle. both
| Liberal, have editorials which protest strong
| ly against the Long bill as a measure of
! barefaced protection.
