Port of Spain, Trinidad, Oct. u.-(Via
Haytien cable.)-The British royal mail
steamship Eden arrived here yesterday
from La Guayra, Venezuela, and
brought the following reliable story:
Last Sunday night about fifty sailors
from the German cruiser Vineta became
engaged in street row at Porto Cabello
with the local populace. Police in civil
ian clothes interfered. siding with the
inhabitants, and the fight became gem
eral, the Germans making their way
toward the wharf, where they boarded
the German steamer Valesia. moored at
that place.
In the meantime two petty officers of
the Nineta, who were entirely sober and
who were waiting at the wharf to take
the Vlneta's boat, were attacked by the
police. They resisted. and the police
wounded them badly with their swords.
All the Germans ashore were unarmed.
The wounded petty officers were carried
OH board the Valesia by members OF the
Valesia's crew, the populace and police
still attacking them with stones and
sticks The mob then tried to board the
Nalesia, but We're prevented from doing
so by the captain and crew of that YES
sell In the meanwhile the captain of the
Nalesia had signaled to the yineta,
which was in the harbor the perilous
situation of the Germans. and the Vine
tn sent boat load of thirty armed men
to the Valesia. which they boarded by
the side opposite to the wharf, not land
ing on Venezuelan soil. The mob. esti-
mated to number 1900 persons was still
acting In threatening manner and
fred few shots. The commander of
the yineta's boat ordered his men to
perform the motions of landing. but not

Hearing the rafting of the breeches of

Considerable excitement prevailed at
Porto Cabello when the Eden sailed.
IT is said the Venezuelan government

the Germans, and has requested the
German minister to apologize for the
sailors conduct.
1t is believed at Caracas that the Ger

THE MlLkMAN IN BRAZIL.
Take. His Cow to the Customer.
Tricks In His Trade.

1t
seTherc are two ways in which you
may buy milk in Brazil" said the man
who had just returned. "The milk isn't
first rate, and milk and cream are scarce,
but there is originality in one way of sell
ing it.
Sometimes milk is delivered from
house to house in glass bottles, carried il
wire baskets. SOMETHING after the fashion
of the milAman here. but there the differ
encc begins. The cart used i'll Brazil is
three wheeled push cart, always painted
some dull. dark color. The bottles are
typicnlly Brazilian. They IRE long. small
necked, dark green. secondhand wine bot
ties, which have advantages of their own
for the merchant. The customer cannot
see the water which he knows is in the
milk, and the dark color simplifes the
task of washing, which is quite point to
the native.
But the other way of delivering milk
is simon pure Brazilian, and it is sort
OF case of the mountain coming to Mo-
manned. The milk merchant leads his
COW around to his customers by halter
Tied to the cows tail is small halter,
and at the other end OF that rope is a
small muzzle halter, which is fastened
around the head Of calf The Brazil
ian niilkman believes that the COW will
not give milk IL unaccompanied by her
calf.
1.-THE merchant, thus leading his mer-
chandise and source OF supply, walks
burefooted over the uneven stone pave
ments from customer to customer. In
his hand he carries an ordinary sized
drinking glass and tin one pint meas
uring cup. These he ingeniously raps
one against the other, and this is his
gong to notify his customers OF his APP
proach. A customer reached, the mer-
chant gets down on one knee and pro-
ceeds to execute the order while the cus-
toner waits.
1.-The stranger sees no chance for
diluting the milk in this system by which
the consumer sees with his own eyes the
goods produced. but the nutives-and
they all agree on this point-insist that
the milk merchant has under his coat a
rubber. bottle filed with water and with
rubber tube attachment which enables
him to inject the water into the measure
along with the milk. Another way the
artistic milk merchant has for milking
his customer is by producing as much
foam as possible. This is done by hold
ing the glass as far as practicable from
the source Of supply during the process
of filling the measure.
.Ip the best hotels and restaurants on
the eastern coast Of Brazil l did not
once see cream used or offered, and milk
as beverage was very seldom seen, and
I did not once see it mentioned on bill
of fare. Milk, such as it is. brings about
