isdiction shall be dismissed and pun
ished. This is a modification of Con.
gers proposal Indemnity shall be

sionary and Christians do not occur in
the note.

INSPECTING THEIR HOLDINGS.
Cuban Company Officials Pay Visit to
Gem of Antilles.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 12-Sir
William Van Horne, Of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad company, accom-
panied by his son and Percival
Farquhar and DR.. Shepherd, officials
of the Cuban company, arrived this
morning on the fruiter Admiral Samp-
son from Philadelphia. The tug Ad-
miral Dewey met the Admiral Samp-
son outside of Ell MORO and brought
the visitors to the city. Sir William
will inspect the lands, railways and
other properties recently purchased by
his company, including hundreds of
thousands of acres of sugar and fruit
lands along Caiuto river and near
Nipe bay, which will be developed as
soon as the necessary railway con-
struction now actively progressing. is
completed. Officials say that the re-
port published by Havana papers re-
porting the company was planning to
import American negro laborers is
false. On the contrary, the company
will use Cuban labor, except in the
case of experts, who will not be avail
able here. 1t is possible the company
may be compelled to import laborers
from Spain, but no negroes will be
brought in. The possibility of the
of more African blood has
a bitter feeling against the
company among the Cubans, which
official denial will do a great deal
to dispel.

cd two packages to another man. A
policeman was called and the two
men were arrested. The third man
was not arresed, but went to 35th
street station in a closed carriage. At
the station the men protested against
their arrest, but were held, neverthe-
less. The packages were opened and
in one of them "a found a pair of
diamond rings. The stones were
single diamonds set in plain gold and
said to be worth about $18. 900 apiece.
The other package contained a dia-
mond pendant, which is said to have
been formerly worn by Queen Carlotta
suspended from a jeweled necklace.
The pendant consists of a large dia-
mond set around with eighteen
smaller stones and two large stones
hanging beneath. The stone in the
center is said to be a famous diamond.
It is of 33 carat, flawless and the

diamonds for $40 900. 1t is said that

by a woman. This woman is said to
be Presea's fiancee. The jewels were
in a red leather case and in the case

written in English: "This diamond
necklace is from Maximillian's CROWN,
1860. The center stone is 81. 10 carrots
and none of the is surrounding stones
is less than n carat" The stone in
one OF the diamond rings seized was
in Maximillian's ring at the time he
