Venezuelan Revenue Cutters Sunk
 Because Unfit to Go to Sen.

Berlin, Dec. 16.-In official quarters here it is said that the Venezuelan vessels sunk off La Guayra were old and worthless revenue cutters and un- fit to go to sea, and that the other ships captured have been sent to Q certain West Indian port to be re- fitted for use during the blockade. The destruction of the Venezuelan craft, it is added, was necessary in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Nenezuelans, as the German vessels had to leave La Guayra.
 Nenezuela's proposition, through Minister Bowen, to submit the ques- tions in dispute to arbitration has now been received here. The foreign office says this will not delay Ger many's and Great Britain's measures previously decided on. The officials here do not indicate what will be the final decision in the arbitration prop osition, but it was apparently made too late to affect the general situa tion.
 Lieutenant Commander Teurk, first officer of the German cruiser Gazelle. has taken command of the captured Venezuelan gunboat Restaurador, which is now flying the German flag. So soon as the Restaurador has com pleted her equipment at Port-of- Spain she will be used in the opera tions against Venezuela.

Judge Ryan 0veruled the Motion For a New Trial for Rob-

IS CHIEF OF THE ST. LOUIS BRIDERS.
Snyder was Formally Sentenced tO Five Yenrs In the Penitcntiary, and Allowed Sixty Days in Which to File Bill of Exceptions For an Appeal.

St. Louis, Dec 1G.-Robert NJ. Shy der, millionaire promoter, was sem fenced h serve five years in the state penitentiary, on conviction of bribery, by Judge Ryan, of the circuit court Monday morning.
 Formal pronouncing of the sen tence followed the courts everruling of the defendants motion for new trial
 Snyder, who had sat passive during the brief proceedings, arose and ade vanced to the bar. where he stood looking at Judge Ryan.
 Have you anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon you?" the court inquired
 No, 1 have not" replied Snyder, in low voice.
 "Then," said Judge Ryan. "in ac- eordance with the finding of the jury, hereby sentence you to serve five years in the peaitentiary."
 Snyder took his seat, and Morton Jordan, his counsel, made motion that 60 days be allowed in which to file bill of exceptions appealing the ease to the supreme court. The court granted the motion.
 Snyder's new bond for $25.000 was signed by Messrs. Priest and Jordan, and the party withdrew.
 T have nothing to say" was Sny- der's reply when asked concerning the courts decision.
 Snyder was found guilty of bribery in connection with the passage of the Central Traction bill through the municipal assembly in 1898.
 More than three years had elapsed since the time he had given bribes to members of the city council for their votes in favor of the bill and the date of his indictment, but the state held that he had been a resident of New York during most of that time, and therefore prosecution was not barred by the Missouri satute of linn itations. This statute is operative to bar prosecution If person accused has resided in this state three years subsequent 10 the offense alleged.
 Snyder's lawyers contended that their client was resident of Kansas City within the meaning of the stat ute, and they based their defense up on that point. hoping to save the de- fendant by relying upon the statute of limitations

London, Dec. 16.-A parliamentary paper giving the correspondence re lating to Venezuelan affairs was is s4e3 Monday afternoon. 1t begins with memorandum, after recount ing the existing cause of complaint against Venezuela, including the seiz- ures of British ships and the protes- tation against the Venezuelan consul at Trinidad for eXaeting improper fees, for collecting customs for Ven ezuela,' says:
 Besides these specific outrages and grounds for complaint, there are causes in which British subjects and companies have large claims against Venezuela. The Venezuelan govern ment declined to accept the eXplana- tions and assurances of his ma jesty,s
