FISHING RIGHTS IN VENEZUELA
British Subjects Shot at by an Of
ficer of the Republic

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-A special to
the Herald" from Demarara, British
Guiana, says:
George H. More, a grant holder on the
British Guiana Bank of the Amaroura
River, Western District, reports: "On
Wednesday myself and one Thomas
Benjamin left our residence with my
boat sailing to Point Barima for the
purpose of fishing. In passing the
Spanish station, which is at the mouth
of the river, one of the Venezuelan po-
lice called us to stop, and L wanted to
know why. I got no reply.
"On continuing my journey Colonel
Castini, the officer in charge, fastened
out from the Generals quarters with a
Winchester and beckoned me to stop.
l refused to do so. He aimed at us and
fired, but without striking either of US,
and we continued on our way"
The incident has been reported to the
Colonial Office, London, and while it is
not expected that much more will be
heard of it, settlers in the northwest
territory of the colony are anxious that
the imperoial authorities should obtain
assurance that such demonstration shall
not be continued.
The right to fish off Point Barima
was enjoyed by the Dutch from their
earliest settlement on the coast OF
Guiana, and was one to which the Brit
ish succeeded.

JAPAN NOT AFTER THE CANAL.
No Secret Negotiations With the

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-A dispatch to

ment that Japan is secretly negotiating
with the Diet of Greater Central Amer
lea to take the Nicaraguan Canal pro-
ject out of the hands of the United
States, setting aside the treaty rights of
the United States.
The President declares that the state
ment is absolutely false. He says that
while he ardentlv desires to have the
canal completed as soon as possible,
Japan has never offered to take any
hand in the matter President Zelaya'
wish, according to his statement, is for
the work to be done either by the United
States or a private company.
Japan has neither Minister, Consul
nor interests in Central America, Pres

FLED FROM THE COUNTRY.
A Miner Who Saw His Companions
Perish From Fever.

DENVER, Sept. 3.-George w. Adams
of Cripple Greek arrived in this city
to-day from the gold fields of South
America.
Fourteen months ago Adams left this
city to try his fortune in South Amerl-
can mines. He went to the gold fields,
800 miles from Georgetown, in company
with eight Americans remaining there
eleven months. OF the entire party OF
nine he alone escaped death from the
fatal fever. One by one he saw his COM
panions die of the terrible disease; saw
a hole scooped in the ground and their
bodies, twisted from pain. covered with
earth; was attacked twice himself with
the malady and all but died, and finally,
after seeing the last of the eight die in
agony, he became terror stricken and
fed from the country-a country which,
from what he says, not one out of seven
ty-five white men ever return alive.

questions seemingly without reserve.
She said she did not receive her
meals from the outside because she
was afraid Of treachery, and preferred
to be content with the rat.ons of the

There are about eight or ten other

most animated of all. She is the star
boarder, and receives more attention
and has more visitors.
She said that the letters she received
from Colonel Berrfs on the Isle of
Pines, and which contained evidence
of his guilty intentions towards her,
were all sent by her friends to Austria,
and from there direct to Spain to the
Queen Regent. She says if they could
be produced before a fair court his
conviction would be certain. The Col
onel saws that he wrote her but one
letter. and in that granted the permit
to her father to travel as a peddler.
She would not describe the events of
the night of July 26, 1896, further than
TO saw that she knew Colonel Berris was
coming 10 her house that night, because
his Secretary had told her so. She
opened the door when he knocked AS
to how he was seized, or by whom she
would not say. She escaped from the
house and was caught and arrested
the following morning and brought to
Havana.
She says that the best favor any one
could do for her would be to secure for
her an interview with General Weyler-
She says: 7 could convince him if he
would only hear me"
In Government circles nothing has
been heard from Madrid in connection
with transferring her TO a convent.
Opinion differs as to whether such a
change would be Of benefit. If her case
is let alone for while she viii be re-
leased and perhaps ordered TO leave the

HOLLAND BEET SUGAR.
ARE THE PRODUCERS RECEIv-
ING A BOUNTY?
A Question Which the Treasury
Department Will Have to De-
eide in the Near Future.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The ques
tion of whether beet-sugars exported
from Holland to the United States shall
be practically excluded from this coun-
try by the imposition of an additional
duty equivalent to the bounty paid by
the Dutch Government, is one which
the Treasury Department will have to
decide in the near future. AT present
such sugars are allowed to come in on
the payment of the duty fixed by the
sugar schedule in the tariff bill, with
the understanding that If it is found
that the additional duty applies it shall
be paid.
Section ) of the Dingley Act provides
that when any country shall pay either
directly or indirectly any bounty or
grant upon the expectation of any arti
Gle or merchandise it shall be subject,
when imported into the United States,
to an additional duty equal to the ex-
port bounty This is aimed especially
at sugars, and the Treasury Depart
ment has called upon the State De-
partment to secure through the Consul
and Ministers abroad detailed informa-
ton as to all export bounties paid by
foreign governments.
It has been generally assumed that
the new Dutch sugar law, which went
into effect yesterday, provided for an
export bounty, but this seems to be
open to considerable doubt. draft of
this law has been forwarded by the
Minister at The Hague. The treasury
officials have not yet examined it care
fully enough to decide wether it pro-
vdes in any direct way for bounty
on expectation. The draft of the law
shows that premiums are allowed on
beet sugars produced and withdrawn
from the sugar factories, but this does
not seem to be an export bounty, as it
is the same on sugars withdrawn for
home consumption as on those shipped
abroad.
1t is doubtful whether this can be
construed to be a bounty or grant
upons the expectation of the sugar, and
this may lead to a decision that no ad-
ditional duties can be levied on Dutch
sugar on account of the bounty. The
effect of such a decision would be to
give Dutch beet sugars an advantage
in the American market over German,
Austrian and French sugars. as the
countries pay bounties on the exporta-
ton of their sugars, and when they
are imported into the United States
they must pay additional duties
| equivalent to the bounties.

WAS NOT A SUCCESS.
Desperate Attempt of Man to End
His Life.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 81. J.
Troutman a recent arrival from Cincin-
natl, made a desperate but unsuccess-
full effort to commit suicide to-day, and
now lies at the Receiving Hospital with
his throat badly gashed and his left,
wrist cut
He imagined that he was accused of
having assaulted one Of the daughters
of his landlady, and that he was being
pursued by the police, and driven to ex-
tremtty, he dashed into a Turk street
dentists office, swallowed the contents
of two bottles, which contained ink and
benzine. He then smashed chande-
lier, and attempted to cut his throat
with piece of broken glass. Failing in
this, he thrust his head through the
glass door of the elevator shaft.
The physicians at the Receiving Hos
pital are of the opinion that Troutman
is suffering from delerium tremins, but
he insists that he had not had anything
to drink but few milk punches since
his arrival. He says that he is drug
gist, and 30 years Of age.

HAVANA. Sept 3.-The World cor
respondent went to see Evangelina Cos

Thursday and Saturdays are visiting
days at the women's Jail, and the ante
room on those days is full Of people
from i to t p. m. who have come to
condole with and bear good tidings to
their relatives or friends.
When the World correspondent
asked to see Miss Cisneros he was al
lowed to pass through the outside iron
gate into a small room with a stone
floor, in one of the walls of which was
painted in large letters "Sala de JUS
ticia"
Evangelina was sent for upstairs, and
while awaiting the correspondent had
the opportunity to notice some Of the
other women who We're receiving visits.
One was a well-d dressed woman who
had murdered her husband.
Sitting near her was a good-look-
ing woman who had been caught sell
ing ammunition and supplies to the in
surgents. She was a political prisoner.
Next to her was a woman who kept a
clearinghouse in Havana and had rent
ed a room to two men whom she did not
know. While their baggage was DelhS
moved into the room the police seized
two of their trunks and fOunds arms
and ammunition. The men escaped, but
the landlady was arrested. She knew
nothing of the case, but was held re-
sponsible, and is now waiting for the
result of the full and long investigation.
A few minutes after the arrival of
the correspondent Evangelina came
tripping down the stairs and walked
gracefully across the end of the court
yard and out through the gate into
the receptiOn-room. She is pretty be-
yond question. She is petite Of figure

TRIAL OF LUETGERT.
DAMAGING EVIDENCE AGAINST
THE ACCUSED.
Rings Found in the Vat Positively
Identified as Being the Prop
erty of His Wife.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Three women
gave damaging evidence against the
defendant in the Luetgert trial to-
day. They positively identified the
rings found in the watts as being the
property of Mrs. Luetgert, and said
that they had seen them on her hands,
and one of them had talked with her
about the rings at one time, and so
felt sure that the rings found in the
vat and those she saw on Mrs. Luet-
gert's fingers were the same.
The defendant made a desperate eff
fort to break down the evidence of the
three women, but they all stuck to their
stories, and swore the rings were those
of the wife of the sausage-maker.
The session of the court was short
in the afternoon, as Judge Tuthill said
that he desired to make a personal visit
to the factory to see for himself where
the murder is said to have been COM
mitted. He took with him an attor-
ney from the side of the defense and
one from those engaged in the prose-
cution, and during their visit to the
factory no other person was allowed
around the premises.
Carl Voelker, a chemist, who had
been at one time engaged with Luet-
CERT when he manufactured perman-
ganate of potash, and who was at one
time a shipping clerk in the factory,
testified during the afternoon session
that he was familiar with all of the
number of processes of making sau-
sage. and he did not have any occasion
to use any caustic potash around the
place The defendant could not, he
said, have secured it for the purpose
of using it in the making of sausage.
During all of the time that Voelker
was around the factory, he said, the
vats were never used.
yoelker told the jury that on one
occasion he saw Luetgert use violence
toward his wife She and another wo-
man came into the office of the factory
one afternoon, and Luetgert appeared
to be in a rage. The witness was not
in the office, but he saw Luetgert push
his wife and her companion out of the
door of the office Mrs. Luetgert and
the lady with her hurried away much
excited. and he heard Mrs. Luetgert
say: "He has a revolver. and viii kill
US" The witness did not see the re-
volver
The crush around the courtroom was
increased to such proportions that it
was found necessary to take active
measures to-day to keep the crowd
away from the trial. The courtroom is
on the third floor of the Criminal Court
building. and orders were given that
none of the passenger elevators should
stop except at the second and fourth
floors Officers were then stationed at
the stairways. and nobody who did not
have business in the courtroom was
allowed to pass.
