caused bad scare among the popuIa-
ton OF this place. The commander of
the fortress visited the American.
French. Spanish and Dutch consuIs and
asked them in case the British landed
marines to intervene to prevent Of the
firing on the forts and TO delay any
movement on the forts, as he had re-
ceiVed orders from the government 10
evacuate the place. The commander
added that if the consults refused to in
tervene and the forts was attacked he
would defend his post and could not
answer for the consequences of the
town, which is without any defense
with the exception of a few armed po-
hcemen- At o'clock, however, the
Charybdis and the Quail left La Guayra
and the fears of the population sub
sided.
What caused most Of the alarm was
the fact that when the British ships
arrived here they took up a command
ing position, their guns covering the
forts, and remained stationary for a
few moments as IL about 10 open fire.
The Charybdis and the Quail steamed
away in the direction Of Curacao.
The foreign consuls subsequently
called on the project, who assured them
there was no danger at present He
added that the commander of the fort
had been needlessly alarmed and had
only succeeded in almost causing a
panic.

Mr.. Whitney contends that the direc-
tors Of the Incorporation had plenty OF
time after the granting of an injunction

but he submits that the reason that this
course was not pursued was that the

reasons for this belief, he says, is that

AFTER THE GAMBLERS
Millionaire Copper Magnate Ar.
rested in New York in connec-
ton With Garfield Case.

New York. Dec. 16.-The secret inquiry
instituted by District Attorney Jerome
before Justice Wyatt of the court of spe-
cial session. aimed at Richard A Can
field, was held TO-DAY. The district at
torney refused TO say whom he had sum-
moned as witnesses, saying it would be
a miSdemeanOr If he did SO. A. A. Hous-
man, the broker, who was in attendance.
said he had given testimony to the effect
that he had never been in Garfield 8
place, and was then excused.
At the conclusion of the hearing d
warrant was issued but for whom or on
what charge was not disclosed.
District Attorney Jerome announced
later that the warrant was for the arrest
Of Jesse Lewisohn, and that Mr.. LewlSOhn
had been arrested. 1t was also announced
that Mr.. Lewisohn's attorneys had Sc
cured writ of habeas corpus for their
client and that a hearing would be had
this afternoon.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Lewisohn, who
is a member of a prominent banking firm,
either refused to appear at the gambling
inquiry, or, if he did appear, refused 10
answer questions put to him.
According to Assistant District Attor-
ney Cans, Mr.. Lewisohn was asked if he
knew Garfield personally. He refused to
reply to the question. Pending the ar
gument in the habeas corpus proceedings
instituted by Mr.. LewisOhn's counsel, the
inquiry Is suspended and will not be re-
sumed, it is said, until the matter is set
tied by the supreme court.
Jesse Lewisohn is a member of the firm
of Lewisohn Bros, bankers, who are
heavily interested in copper
Justice Scott of the supreme court
granted a writ of habeaS corpus calling
for Mr.. Lewisohn's production in court
on Friday. He also paroIed Mr. Lew
isOhn until that time. In addition. the
Justice issued a writ of certiorari direct
ing Justice Wyatt. before whom the in
curry was held, to make return of the
proceedings in court, so that they may
be reviewed.
Harry Payne Whitney and Mortimer
Schiff, son of Jacob A Schiff, head of
the banking house of Kuhn. Loeb & Co,
also appeared as witnesse. The former
denied that he had ever been in Can
fields place, and was excused. An at
torney appeared for Payne Whitney, for
whom a subpoena was also issued. and
stated that his client was unable to re-
spond on account of illness, but would
appear later.

IN THE HOUSE.
Increased Power Given to Agricul-
tural Department.

tural Department.
Washington. Dec. 16.-Some minor
business was transacted by unanimous
consent at the opening of the house to
day. Bills were passed to authorize
the resurvey of certain townships in
Wyoming and to authorize the con-
struction of a lighthouse at Mukilteo
Point, Wash.
Upon the demand of the regular order
Mr.. Wadsworth of New York called up
the bill to transfer from the treasury
department to the secretary of agricul-
ture the power to make regulations to
suppress and eXtirpate dangerous con
tagious disease among livestock He
explained that the change of the law
was made necessary by the discovery
that when the department of agricul-
ture was created this power, supposed
to have been transferred and since ex-
ercised by the secretary of agriculture,
was left with the treasury department
The additional power conferred by the
bill to prevent the introduction from an
infected foreign country or from one
state 10 another of hay, straw, forage.
etc, was made necessary. he said. by
the suspicion that the foot and mouth
disease W. communicated to i've
stock in New England through infected
hay from Canada, and might be trans
mitted thence TO other portions of the
United States by the same means.
The bill was passed without division.
The house then went into committee
of the whole and resumed the consid-
Grafton of the legislative. executive and
judicial appropriation bill
After corr pleting 12z pages of the bill
the committee rose. A resolution was
adopted calling upon the attorney gen
eral for information as to whether in
the case of the eastern CherOkees YER
sus the United States the award of Dec.
10, 1901, is readjudicated and to advise
the house whether the reasons set forth
in the opinion of the department of jus
tice Dec. 2, 1895, now constitute a valid
defense to the payment of the claim.
At BIS p. m. the house adjourned.
