EDWARD GOTTFRIED'S CLAIM
WANTS 100000 FOR TORTURE AND
LOSSES.
Fell Among Peruvian Brigands The
Government Has vigorously Pur-
sued His CaptOrs.

Inquiry at the State Department into the
case of Edward Gottfried, who has claimed
damages amounting to little over $780,
w from the government of Peru on ac-
count of physical torture and the loss of
MS property at the hands of revolutionists.
discloses the fact that the claim for in
demnity has been urged for the simple rea-
son that the officials. after patient inyesti-

rant Tor 1t at this stage. at least. The mat
ter Is still the subject Of diplomatic negotia-
ton, and its conclusion cannot be foreseen.
rms claim was made before the State De-
partment about eight months ago through
an attorney from Wilkesbarre. Pa, named
Strauss. Mr.. Dudley, the United States
minister to Lima, was promptly instructed
to investigate the allegations, and from
that moment the State Department has not
omitted one effort to meet the requirements
in such cases.
Mr.. Dudley found that the substantial al
legations of Gottfried were true He had
been tortured, and suffered the loss of his
property by persons representing them
selves to be revolutionists.
but there were qualifying circumstances
That materially affected the departments
treatment of the case. In the first place the
man had gone into an almost inaccessible
and dangerous locality in the interior of
Peru, and was rewarded for his risk by
falling into the hands of set of brigands
by courtesy called revolutionists. The
Peruvian government did not know of his
sunerings at the time they were inflicted
and as soon as informed, acted with vigor
Pursuit was made by troops, and the leader
of the brigands himself. Colonel Veraste-
gui. was killed. The Peruvian government
further made efforts to secure the capture
or death of the other members of the band
and, according to Minister Dudley's report,
is still so engaged. Therefore. the Peru
vians having demonstrated in the first place
their inability to have prevented the out
rage, and in the second. their readiness to
mete out condign punishment to the per-
petrators. can scarcely be held to a money
obligation in the case. At least that is the

GEN. OTIS RETURN.
VIII Come Home Next Summer to Stay
n Few Months.

Tt Is practically admitted at the War De-
partment that Major General Otis. COM
handing the military forces in the Philip
pines. will be granted leave of absence dur
ing the coming summer for the purpose OF
permitting him to spend a few months in
this country with his family, from whom
he has been separated since the begin
ming of the insurrection in the orient.
Although orders have yet been issued.
it is probable that arrangements will be
made whereby General Otis may start for
home about June Il and make the trip
across the Pacific with his staff on one OF
the regular military transports. According
to the present arrangement, the Philippine
commission will reach Manila about the
18th of May. SO that General Otis will have
fully months time TO confer with them
in regard to the affairs of the archipelago
before his departure for home.
There is intention of relieving Gen.
Otis from command of the division of the
Philippines. and he will resume that COM
mand at the expiration of his leave of abb
sence. Some other officer, probably Major
General Macarthur. will exercise tempo
rary command of the division in the mean
time. The President and the Secretary of
War appreciate the herculean labors per-
formed by General Otis during the past
two years, and consider that he has we'll
earned a vacation.
Although a major general of volunteers.
General Otis is a brigadier general In the
regular service. His homecoming, how
ever, will be almost simultaneous with his
promotion to the grade of a major general
of regulars. vacancy in that grade will
occur June 10 by the statutory retirement
of Major General Wesley Merritt, COM
handing the department of the east.
The vacancy in that command will be
filed by the assignment of Maj Gen. John
R. Brooke, the junior major general, for
merly military governor of Cuba. Gen.
Merritt's retirement will also create a va
cancy in the list of brigadier generals,
which will probably be filled by the APP
pointment of Gen. Wheeler. Gen. Merritt
expects to make a tour of Europe with
his wife during the fall.

RAISING BEES.
Consul SeIah Describes IN Industry in
Palestine.


Consul Selah Merrill. at Jerusalem, has
furnished the State Department with a
number of interesting facts concerning the
bee raising industry in Palestine.
Palestine. says the consul, has always
been famous for it's honey, but until re-
Gently the methods used for it's extensive
production have been very crude. The
credit for the development of the bee rails
ing industry in that country belongs to a
family named Baldensperger. In 1880 they
began taking steps toward the production
Of honey in quantity, and in 1884 had
brought the amount of honey produced up
to a large figure. fifty hives at Yafa alone
yielding 5000 pounds in less than one
month. The extent of the industry, how
ever. soon attracted the attention Of the
government. and a tax was imposed on
each hive. Because of differences of opin-
ion between the bee raising family and the
officials as to what constituted actual hives,
trouble arose which was finally carried
into court, and a decision rendered. This
Judgment. which affected one large apiary
only, the Baldenspergers refused to pay.
and the hives were sold at auction. The
work of delivering the goods to the pur-
chaser was found to be very difficult how
ever, for when the latter, with the Off
Gals and a camel train arrived to carry
away the hives, the bees swarmed out in
large numbers and forced them to beat a
hasty retreat. compromise was affected
one-half of the amount demanded being
paid. and the bees remained with the Bal
denspergers.
When to taxation. and the ravages of
badgers, lizards, rats and other enemys of
the bee, is added the fact that about one
tenth of the honey produced must be given
away In order to save the remainder from
seizure. 1t will be seen that the industry
of raising bees in Palestine is beset with
many and serious obstacles. The averag e
oil hi i-
per season. and a good market is found for
all the honey produced. The consul states
that there is no doubt that the industry
might be greatly increased.

NEGRO C0NvICTs REGISTERED.
One Of Them Sent to Jail and Warrants Issued
For Others

James Walton, a negro eX-convict
was yesterday arrested for fraudulent
registration, tried before Justice j. c.
Maroon, and sent to Jail in default OF
bond. Walton has several times been
sent up for larceny, it seems, but des-
pite this fact he registered at Ed
wards Store precinct, in House Creek
township, with the intention of vot-
ing next Thursday.
4 warrant was also issued yesterday
for Louis Jones, negro ex-convict
registered in the second division of
the Fourth ward, but as yet he has
not been caught. Jones is also an
old offender, having been sent up sew
eral times. He was reminded of this
fact and warned not to register. If,
therefore, he is caught he will very
likely be given the full penalty of the
law.
There are number of negroes reg
istered in some of the other wards
and precincts for whom warrants will
be issued before election day.
