company at their annual meeting in Jer-

the next dividend declaration afterwards
decided upon.
tlement of the sugar war and no signs
Of such settlement, nor had there ever
been since the war began by the inde-
pendents. The recent advance in prices
of refined sugar was not altogether due
to shortage Of the Louisiana crop, but
to an advance in raws.
a resolution was passed authorizing the
directors to cancel any portion Of the
$40, 100000 bonds against a mortgage on
property of the company, when the COM
pany was organized. All of the bonds
are now in the treasury of the company.
The company has sold property amount
ing to 1865, ,000 covered by this mortgage,
which money has been in the hands of
trust company for two years, drawing
2 per cent. President Havemeyer said
the company will hot sell any of these
bonds.
I'VE have abundant capital for business
and will have as long l have anything
to do with the company. If the same
conditions exist in March it will be neces-
sary to reduce the dividend on sugar

CHICAGO, Jan. 10-On the unusual
charge Of dealing in Confederate states
money, F. M. Davis, who conducts a
general mail order business on Monroe
street, was arrested today by govern
ment officers and held to the federal
grand jury by United States Commits
sioner Humphrey. If an indictment re-
suits the case will be made test in the
United States district court, and If con-
viction is returned all persons dealing In
Confederate money, even as curios, will
be liable to prosecution. Three men were
recently convicted in Kansas City of
passing Confederate bills as legal govern
ment notes, and the arrest today was the
outcome, as it is alleged that numerous
complaints have been received against
Davis for sending counterfeit money to
all parts of the country. Government Of
ficers declare they will endeavor to have
the law defined so as to include all who
are responsible for the circulation of
Confederate money. Bills representing
$4,000 were found in Davis place of bus

ARR SHOT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING
War News Summary.

The accident" to the Suffolk regi-
ment, which was referred to in dis
patch from Frere river, proves to have
been another grave blunder on the
part of the British commanders, that
cost the loss of some $50 men killed,
! wounded and made prisoners. No
scouts were out, and while Col Wat
son was addressing his officers the
Beers volleyed at a distance of 100
yards, and the Suffolk men fled with
out having fired a dozen shots in re-
turn.
London suspects that the officers in
command in South Africa are prepar-
ing the public for q long list of cas-
ualties at Ladysmith that will take
the glamor off Gen. Whites victory. $
Bombardment of Ladysmith by the
Beers has been resumed, though the
firing is not so vigourous as prior to
the sortie made by Gen. White to
meet the recent Beer attack.
British forces are inactive, perhaps
awaiting the arrival of Lord Roberts.
The new commander, accompanied by
his chief of staff, Gen. Kitchener, ar
, rived at Cape Town yesterday. De-
cisive action is now looked for.
Excitement over the Delagoa bay
ship seizures has largely subsided, and
, there seems no probability of serious
differences arising between Great Brit
ain and Germany.
