John Candy, colored, was late yesterday
convicted by jury in Criminal Court No.
2 on a charge Of highway robbery. The de-
PENDANT was charged with assaulting and
robbing George w. Taylor near the 9th
street depot during the night Of September
10 last. The defense was making out what
appeared to be a good alibi when William
H. James, who was a chance spectator In
the court and had not been summoned In
the case, volunteered the information that
he was near the defendant when he COM
mitted the assault. The witness then be-
ing sworn gave evidence which was re-
garded as conclusively proving the govern
ment's case, and the jury quickly returned
a verdict of guilty

SUGAR IN NICARAGUA,
An Agricultural Chemist to Investi-
gate the Subject.


Mr.. G. s. Spenser, one Of the chemists Of
the Department of Agriculture, will leave
Washington today for six months stay
in Nicaragua among the sugar plants there.
This viii be the fifth trip of that nature
made by Mr.. Spenser and will keep him in
Central America somewhat more than six
months. Within two or three days, if the
United States keeps the railroad open, he
expects to cross the Isthmus of Panama.
Land in Nicaragua is particularly avail
able for the production Of sugar. said Mr..
SpenSer this morning, but the development
Of the industry in that country has been
hampered by scarcity Of labor. There are
so few inducements offered the laborer from
other countries and the amount of native
labor is small that sugar operators find
their activities greatly limited.
AN English company, which has worked
largely with Nicaraguan capital, is now
the largest plant in the country and con-
ducts an enormous business. Its estate is
at the town of Chichigalpa, on the Pacific
coast, not far from the ancient city of
Leon. The cane produced by that concern
is not as rich as that of Cuba, but it yields
about 8 per cent of sugar against the yield
OF 10 per cent or more of Cuban sugar
plantations. Nearly the entire output of the
refinery goes to Nicaraguan consumers. The
surplus Is exported at a profit to other
Central American states. No foreign ma
ton can export refined sugar to the United
States at profit. The factory of this con-
Germ is made of iron, and is unusually COM
plete. Connected with it are distillery
saw mill, cattle ranch and a vast tract
Of timber land. The distillery has been
hampered by the varying laws of Mica
ragua as to the manufacture of alcoholic
compounds, but 1t is large enough to pro-
duce an enormous quantity of rum. The
saw mill cuts all the timber used on the
estate, and of late years has been able to
produce surplus for sale to other con-
Germs. In connection with this phase of
the enterprise Of the English company, it's
promoters have acquired title to more than
5000 acres of woodland from which al
most unlimited quantities of valuable tim
Der can be taken whenever the labor and
machinery needed can be obtained.
I'm Nicaragua the rainy season lasts
about six months and produces a rainfall
of about 100 inches. This Is particularly
conducive to the growth of sugar cane.
When the dry season comes there Is almost
no rain at all. which is equally conducive
to the production of sugar products. This
dry season Is about to commence and the
entire plant OF Chichigalpa will accordingly
soon begin to operate.
Except for this English concern the su-
gar industry In Nicaragua Is in the hands
of small operators, who maintain very
small concerns. The crude sugar produced
by such works is sold entirely to natives"

Internal Revenue Collections.

The monthly statement of the collections
OF internal revenue shows that for the
month of October, 1901, the receipts from
all sources amounted to $24,359,9O7 which
is decrease as compared with the same
month OF the previous year of s3,1O4, 672.
The collections from the several sources of
revenue are given as follows: Spirits. Sill
S0,122, increase, sIS1 ,537; tobacco, $500
3iI, decrease, 1920, $50; fermented liquors.
% tSS,652, decrease, 500, $50; oleomargarine
s21f561, decrease, S13.I4; special taxes not
enumerated SO. $50. increase, SIG, leo; mis-
cellaneous, S1900,4I1. decrease, s2275094
The decrease for the four months of the
present fiscal year amounts to $3.50 O5S
which would indicate a decrease for the
year of about S23,oO0,000 The opinion is
strong, however. that the increase will be
at least s3O,o0O.GoO and will probably run to
a greater figure.

Naval Officer Thinks Islands Should
Be Annexed.
THE DIFFICULTIES OF INDEPENDENCE
Such Status Only Desired by the
Professional Politicians.
HE ROPOSE A PLAN

LOUISVILLE, KY, November 27.-Lieu-
tenant Commander Lucien A. Young,
United States navy. captain of the port of
Havana, is in Louisville on his way to
Washington for a brief stay. Speaking
about Cuba, he said:
Since the military occupation of Cuba
there has been a disposition on the part of
the island officials to comply with the
Teller resolution, and in so doing there has
been no modification of the laws of the
island and the economical question has
never been discussed. The result is that
the affairs of Cuba are in the hands of
lot of political and professional revolution
lists, who have nothing to lose and every
thing to gain.
Sugar is being sold at S3.13A on the
docks, when it cannot be raised in the in
terror for less than s3.IO. Not 10 per cent
of last years tobacco crop has been sold.
A committee has been sent to the United
States TO ask for reciprocity, which means
a stepping stone to annexation. Why not
annex the island and be done with it?
Every move means that ultimate result.
Advantages of Annexation.
eff the United States should annex Cuba.
with free Introduction of products and
with the development of 50 per cent of the
uncultivated land We could control prod
ucts for which we now depend on Euro
pean countries, and ask no favors of them.
I'VE are to control the isthmian canal
and Cuba is the absolute defense of the
commerce of the caribbean sea, the Gulf
of Mexico and the eastern approaches to
the canal and should be the military base
for the United States.
Cuba can give 10 the United States but
one concession, and that should be annex
alton, for cannot demand privileges as
a foreign power of terrifying the port Of
call without legislation and arrangements.
Furthermore, We have spent sos, 900, 900 IN
liberating Cuba, but the CubanS do not
seem satisfied and ask us to give them
independent government and the Teller res
olutiOn. Then they want US to get out
of the island and sacrifice $50 900 which
is being paid in duty from imports The
only salvation for Cuba is absolute ac-
quiescence to the mandates of the United
States. In my opinion they should be given
nome rule under a governor appointed
by the United States with power to veto
any act they may make, subject, of course
to the approval of Congress"

APPLICANTS FOR DIVORCE
CLERK OF THE COURT BUSY DOCK
ETING PETITIONS.
Mismated Couples Seek Legal Separa-
tion-Large Number of Papers
Filed Today.

The day before Thanksgiving is a busy
one In the office of the clerk of the SUI
preme Court of the District. The extra
business is usually confined to the issuance
of marriage licenses, which are greatly
sought on this day, but the clerk was busy
today docketing applications for divorces,
which were filed in unusual number. The
first case was the petition of Charles H.
Chapman, filed by Attorney E. NJ. Hew-
lett, asking for divorce from Harriet L.
Chapman on the grounds of desertion. The
parties were married at Kennebunkport,
Me-, and lived together until October, 1885,
The wife is the complainant In the next
case filed by Attorney w. c. Martin. Mat
tie Asher charges that her husband, James
b. Asher, began a course of cruel and in
human treatment toward her shortly after
their marriage, and she alleges he has sew
eral times threatened her life, and she has
been forced to live apart from him.
The petition Of Katie e. Jones for divorce
from Richard c. Jones, filed by Attorney
w. Preston Williamson, sets forth the
marriage of the parties at Baltimore, May
81, 1886, and charges the defendant with
desertion. The complainant alleges that
although the defendant was receiving 500
month in the government service, she
has been obliged to work On store and
support herself and one child. without any
aid, she claims, from the defendant.
Failure to support her and their child Is
assigned as the reason for seeking a di-
vorce in the petition Of Cornelia Collins
against John W. Collins, filed by Attorney
Irving Williamson The couple were mar
ried September %, 1888, and lived together
until October, 1899, when, We complainant
charges, her husband desepted her and has
not since lived with her
Still another woman who alleges deser-
ton upon the part of her husband is Sarah
Fox, who desires a divorce from George
Fox
The parties were married at Alexandria,
va, August 2, 1897, and have no children.
The defendant is said to be now living at
Fort Lawton, state of Washington. Camp
bell Darlington appears for this complain
ant.
Drunkenness and non-support is charged
against Robert w. Daley in a petition for
divorce filed by Caroline E. Daley, through
her attorney, VIM. l.. Elterich. The mar
rage was celebrated August 10, 1887, the
petition says, both of the contracting
parties being deaf mutes. The defendant
Is charged with drunkenness, and in a
drunken fit on one occasion, 1t is alleged,
attempted and almost succeeded in stran-
Cling the petitioner. The wife's father gave
the couple home, the petitioner says, be-
cause they were put out Of the place where
they had been living for failure to pay rent;
yet this did not prevent the defendant from
deserving his wife, and this desertion is
claimed to have covered a space of two
years.

Reduce Lumber Rates.

Charles Mcclure, manager for Ward
& Co., exporters at Vancouver, returned
that that place from San Francisco on
December 81, where he interviewed the
shipping firms, requesting them to re-
duce rates for lumber ships leaving
British Columbia ports, as the present
rates, 60 cents a thousand higher than
on the American side, practically shut
the British Columbia Lumber CON-
pany out of the markets of the worll,
no other ships being available.
The ship companies informed Ne
Clure that the idea prevailing in Brit
ish Columbia among shippers that the
California ship companies desired to
extort high freights from British Co.
lumbia shippers was wrong. The higa
freight rates were necessary, owing
to the alleged unnecessary delay for
British Columbia ports and for other
reasons. On McClure's assuring the
California ship-owners that the matter
of despatch and other details could be
adjusted, he was promised with that
understanding that freight rates should
be sufficiently reduced to at once revive
the lumber industry on the Canadian
side.
