TWO VICTIMS OF THE
FUMES OF DEADLY GAS
Colorado Miner Meets Accidental
Death and an Insane Japanese
Commits Suicide

Commits Suicide.
Two cases of gas asphyxiation were re-
ported at the Morgue up to ) p. m. yes
terday.
The first was that of G. S. Snow. a
miner, who came from Granite. Chaf9
County, Colo, to witness the Jeffries-
Rubin prizefight. Snow was found dead
in his bed in the International Hotel yes
terday morning with the gas escaping
| from an open jet. Mr.. Snow was 60 years
! old and was married. He informed the
! hotel people on Sunday that he intended
| to start on his return home last evening.
| AS he was not a drinking man and went
| to bed sober and was in the best of
| spirits, the theory of suicide is untenable,
and that of accident is probable only on
| the hypothesis that he left the gas burn
| ing when he went to sleep and a sudden
| diminTtion of pressure extinguished the
| flame. His watch and chain and $186 were
| found in his pockets.
| M. Kamaruki, a native of Japan, COM
mitted suicide last Sunday night by
| turning on the gas in his room at the
| Hoffman House, 521 Pacific street. A let
| ter in Japanese characters was found in
the pockets of the mans trousers. in
which he bequeaths his socks to ore
| friend and his clothing to another. The
! contents of the letter show that he was
| insane.

Harlem Coffee Cooler" Shows White
Feather in Fight With the
DI,;1oJ a1Y,h;oy

LONDON. Nov. 18-At the National
Sporting Club tonight Jack OBrien of
Philadelphia defeated Frank Craig, the
Harlem Coffee Cooler" after seven
rounds of a ten-round bout. The Harlem
boy was disqualified for falling without
blow. Craig made wild rushes and re-
peatedly fell without having been struck.
OBrien was a strong favorite in the bet
ting, in spite of his bad condition, and did
almost all of the scoring in a farcical and
disappointing contest.
Kid Mccoy and McKeever have chal-
lenged the winner and it is probable that
a match will be arranged between n1c-

CLAIM OF GERMANY
Venezuela Does Not Like Our
Attitude Concerning
the Same.

Willemstadt. Island of Curacao, Dec.
13 Cvia Haytien cable).-There has been
a halt in the exchange of communica-
tons between Germany and Venezuela.
owing to the publication in the news
papers of Caracas of cable dispatches
from the United States setting forth
that the government at Washington
viii not oppose any steps which Ger
many may take to enforce her rights in
Venezuela. with the exception of pre-
venting the annexation of Venezuelan
territory. As a result the newspaper
attacks on Germany have ceased, but
the semi-of1cial papers are now at
lacking the United States, saying that
Washington. in authorizing Germany
to take action in her dispute with Ven
ezuela looks upon the latter country
as being part of the territory of the
United States.
1t is believed here that Germany. at
the end Of the present month, wF1l take
steps to obtain a due acknowledgment
of her claims for s., 900, 600 arising from
losses sustained by German citizens
during the last revolution here and dis
allowed by Venezuela. who answered
last year that Germany should present
her claims before the special Vene-
zuelan courts appointed to pass upon
such matters. But Germany, the Unit
ed States. Great Britain and France
refused to appeal to these courts. Italy
alone, being bound by a former treaty,
was obliged to present her claims TO
the Venezuelan courts. The claim of
the discontO bank of Berlin will prob
ably be included in the claims present
ed by Germany.
The situation in Venezuela is critical
and fears are expressed of a general
uprising in January.

At 1870 p. IN. the three vessels desig-

knots speed. The ships passed the

Colon and the shore batteries at ranges
varying from 1900 yards 10 $500 yards.
All projectiles fell short.
Projectiles Fell Short
When the ships had passed to the

entrance and fired as before, but at
ranges varying from 5000 yards 70

fell near the Colon
The fire was returned by the ships in
the harbor, and by the land batteries,
but no large guns were used by the
batteries. Several projectiles passed
over our vessels, but no injuries were
sustained.
The fviDE squadron did not with
draw at night from the entrance to
Santiago harbor to a distance at sea.
The blockade was maintained at an
average distance of about six to seven
miles from the harbOr entrance during
the day and probably somewhat nearer
during the night. Two vessels per
formed picket duty at night two miles
inside Of the line of vessels.
The Spanish squadron was discovered
to be in the entrance to Santiago har-
Dor, steaming out about $3.50 a. m,
July 3. 1898
The Brooklyn at that time was head
ing to the westward Of NORTH about
6 300 yards s W. q S. from the MORO,
which was practically her blockadizS
position.
Large vessels coming out Of the har-
Dor Of Santiago were obliged TO head
about s. ". by S, and the Spanish yes
sells, therefore, in steaming out until
clear of che shoal to the westward,
were obliged to head directly for the
position of the Brooklyn. When clear
OF this shoal the Spanish vessels
turned in succession TO the westward
and cook a course nearly parallel TO
the land.
That Famous LOOP.
The Brooklyn stood towards the
Spanish vessels. with varying helm,
fired one shot from her forward tur-
ret at $500 yards range, which proved
short. and then engaged with her bat
terry. When about 1.400 yards distant
from the leading Spanish ship, the
Teresa, the Brooklyn turned to star
board with her helm hard apOrt and
continued so to turn until she headed
to the westward, parallel to the course
of the Spanish ships The commanding
officer OF the Brooklyn put the helm
