HEIRS Want INDEMNITY
A Claim for War Damages to the
Fenecia Estate.
Cubans Present Bills to the Secre-
tary of State Under the Terms of
the Peace Treaty-A Splendid Plan
tation Ruined-BuiidinEs and Crop
Destroyed by the Native Troops.

There was sent TO the State Department
yesterday claim for $4,000 on the Uni
ted States Government, growing out of the
Cuban insurrection and based upon the
clause of the Treaty of Peace by which this
country assumed liability for all indemnity
claims resulting from the events of the re-
bellion in the island. Evidence on which
to base other claims. amounting to more
than s2,O00,0o0, is now being gathered.
Those for whom proceedings were begun
yesterday are Mrs. Conception Tergo We
necia, Mrs. Alice Venecia de Estava, Ar
thur Venecia, Miss Angelina Venecia, and
Miss Matilda Venecia. They are the heirs
of the late Jose Venecia Pedrujas, who
was the owner of the Central Esperanza
sugar plantation in Manzanillo. All are
citizens of the United States and live in
St. Johns Place, Brooklyn. They have
been residents of that city for the last
twenty-three years. Their attorney is
Bert Reiss, Of Brooklyn.
In the afidavits that accompany the
claim the family declare that they lived in
peaceable possession of the plantation pre-
vious to February, 1895. Their plantation
covered about 1000 acres. and they had
spent s75,e00 in improvements. At the
outbreak of the insurrection the Spanish
troops took forcible possession of the
place. The fences were trampled down,
the cane was burned. and the roots used
for forage for the horses of the army. The
buildings were destroyed and the owners
left destitute. Part of this destruction
was accomplished by the insurgents, who
took possession of the plantation after the
Spanish left
Il is declared by the claimants that they
have derived no income from the property
since 1895 and are unable now to meet
mortgage due, as it takes ten years to
cultivate sugar cane to the point of pro-
duction The claimants ask the United
States to compel the Cuban Government
to pay full indemnity for the destruction.
Among the afidavits is one from Fer
nando de Elama Torment. who was a
general manager of the plantation and
business agent for the owner.
He estimates that the cost of replanting
the cane would be $500 that the loss on
sixty pairs of oxen carried away by Span
ish and insurgent soldiers was s12 600, that
the replacing of the fences would cost $10,-
600. and that the prohibition of production
entailed loss of s120 600.
Proof in relation to the mortgage on the
property and the revenue from the plan
tation is furnished by William NJ de Wis
ser. agent for Thomas j. Owen & Co..
sugar importing firm Of this city. With
regard to the mortgage, he declares his
frnt advanced $4,000 to the owners of the
plantation prior to the war for new ma
chinery and other purposes
AS to the output of the plantation. Mr.
de Wiser submits this table showing the
amount of sugar and the net value thereof

is bona fide. OF course the Government
will not stand the loss on all these claims.
II will raise the money on Cuban bonds
and make the new government OF the ISL
and pay for the damages.
The claim is based on the following
provision of the Treaty of Paris:
The United States and Spain mutually
relinquish all claims for indemnity. ma
tional and individual, of every kind. of
either government. or of it's citizens or
subjects. against the other government
which may have arisen since the beginning
OF the late insurrection in Cuba and prior
to the exchange OF ratiications OF the pres
1t treaty, including all claims for, indem-
nifty for the cost of the war. The United
States VIII adjudicate and settle the claims
OF its citizens against Spain relinquished
in this article
My agents advise me that there will be
claims of this kind against the Government
amounting TO more than SIC. .O0O, 600. We
shall probably have to go into the United
States courts TO prove our damages We
can do so easily. The trouble with these
cases is not TO get the claim allowed but
to get the MONEY!

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
The Careful Man and His Careless
Wife.
(From the Pittsburg NeSs.4

(FIonl the PlttSbuTg NeSs-9
When the sudden cold spell came the
other day there is a wellknown business
man living in BelIeheld who Immediately
began to take all sorts Of precautions
against having his water pipes frozen. He
underwent this agony once, and it was
such an inconvenience that he fears the
power of Jack Frost over all kinds OF
pipes since. This mans plan OF action was
to leave the plug out Of the bath and Keep
the water running night ard day until
bath was needed. This had worked like
charm on previous occasions. and now Just
as religiOusly as he sees the house Is closed
up at night. he goes TO the bathroom TO be
certain that the water is running all right.
He got into the habit of boasting that with
a little care anyone could prevent pipes from
freezing up and so cheat the plumber Of
his legitimate, if sometimes piraticaI,
gains.
The other got up and, being
a little late, ulved into the bathroom to
perform his ablutions before rushing off
downtown When he got In he was hOr-
rified to see the bath full of water. In
spite of his precautions the blamed thing
had evidently frozen. 1t was the most
mortifying moment he had ever en- our
tered and il occurred to him that IL the
story got cut his friends, on whom he had
been Iavishing advice as to non-freeZeable
pipes would have a very large-sZed laugh
on him. He hastily fixed himself up and
at breakfast told his wife to see to the
bath and get plumber or there would be
a flood. In fact, he wondered how it was
that there was not one, for while the plug
hole had evidently frozen in the bottom OF
the tub the water from the spigot was still
running. 1t was only the overflow outlet
that had prevented flood.
When he got home that night the bath
was all right again. and he asked his wife
how long the plumbers had taken TO fix
It, She said
Il didn't have the plumbers. I fixed it
myself
How did you MANAGE" and he beamed
to think what clever woman he had
married

Charged with kidnapping.

NEWARK, n. J., Feb. 27.-Douis Sau-
zalla, charged In a Newark court yesterday

try expecting her 10 marry him. On ar
rival she found that Juliano was more than
seventy years old, and discovered that she
loved Sauzalls, a fellow-passenger She
married Sauzalla. She disappeared two
months ago. Sauzalla says Juliano then
told him be could have his wife only when
he repaid the S35 passage money. In court
Juliano said he would find Concetta for SO

General Ludlow, Military Cove nor OF
Havana, was in close conference with the
President for half an hour this NOR ing,
relative to the general condition Of AFT irs
In Cuba. The general leaves for HAvan-
this evening, and he infora ed the Pre- =
dent of the existing status of po itic / and
military matters in the isl-nd.
He said that there is cons anty grox-
ing element known as the Independence
party, which has recently gained so many
converts that the defeat OF the ann x-tIol
element at the coming elections is alu.ost
q foregone conclusion.
General Ludlow said that the people
while favorably disposed toward the Amer
lean Government. are, by large majority,
more anxious for a local seif-goyernment
than to become permanently attached to
the United States
There has been" said the general, "a
great Improvement in the condition of the
population since the American Government
took hold and there is no doubt that the
people appro ciate our efforts in their be-
half But the spirit Of freedom dominates
them TO such a degree that they cannot
conceive OF freedom unless il be TO cut
away absolutely from all control. and op-
crate their own Government among them
selves. The century and more Of success
OF which the United States has had the ad-
vantage. they do not care to consider.
They were for so long a time under the
rule OF Spain that, now that freedom has
almost come they desire that the entire
rule of the island be given over to them.
The first elections will be held the LIST
of May, and it is very likely that the great
majority Of those elected will be affil-
lated with the Independence party. 1t
must not be understood that this party is
antagonistic to the American Government
any further than TO desire to control in
Cuban affairs, but this desire is growing
every day"
General Ludlow said that his talk with
the President had been very pleasant, and
that the latter had expressed himself as
pleased with the general condition OF af-
fairs in Cuba. He viii leave for New York
