ATTITUDE OF FRANCE.



PARIS, Dec 19.-The Foreign Office here
desires to have ii understood that the note
sent to the French charge d'affaires at
Caracas does not ask Venezuela to give
preferential treatment to French claims,
but only treatment equal to that which
the other powers may receive through their
RECOURSE to force. This applies only to
claims which have arisen since 1899, pre-
vious claims having been submitted to arbi-
tration. Concerning recent claims France
first offered to permit the Venezuelan
courts to pass upon them, but since Ger
many and Great Britain expect to secure
preference by the adoption of forcible col
lection the French charge daffaires has
now been ordered to inform Venezuela
that France expects the same advantages
in the adjustment of claims as Venezuela
grants to Germany and Great Britain. This
is not intended as a coercive measure, but
only to secure for France equal treatment
with the other powers.
Later in the day it was ascertained that
the French government had received de-
tailed advices showing the American posi-
ton to be favorable to the acceptance of
arbitration and opposing pacific block
ade. 1t was said by officials here that the
American attitude toward a pacific block
ade was the same as that asserted by
Great Britain when France sought to close
the ports of Formosa against the rice trade.
French policy since then had been firmly
opposed to pacific blockades Although such
a policy had not yet been formally an
nounced 1t was applicable to Venezuela.
A dispatch to the Liberte from The

Venezuela.

Sutherland's Claim for Sinking thu
SantO Domingo Not Valid.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-United States
judge, Edward b. Thomas, handed down a
decision to-day declaring invalid claim
of $1,Oo0,000 against the United States en-
tered by Lieut.-com. William III. Suther-
land, of the navy. The amount was asked
as prize money, the commander and his
crew of the Eagle, converted gunboat,
having destroyed the Spanish steamer,
Santo Domingo, during the Spanish
American war.
Lieutenant Commander Sutherland de-
manded the value of the sunken Spanish
vessel and her cargo, the contention being
that Admiral Dewey and his men were
granted large booty prizes in Manila bay
for similar work. The government as
serted during the trial of the case that
only the sum of S1,100 could be recovered
by the plaintiff. The difference between
the suit instituted by Commander Suther-
land and the case of Dewey and his men
is that the Santo Domingo was grounded
and burned on the sands of Southern Cuba,
while the ships sunk by Dewey were i'm a
condition to be restored to their normal
shape. The government maintained that
only such sum as it had received an
equivalent for should be paid out.

The players on the Indianapolis polo
team displayed more vim in the game with
Elwood last night than they have at any
time during the season and won by a
score of to 0. The home men seemed to
enjoy the fact that they were at last in
stalled in a permanent home and the
largest crowd that has yet witnessed a
game in this city gathered at the Cyclic

All of the improvements were not COM
pleted when the game was called last
night but the spectators and players did
not grumble at the slight inconveniences.
The floor was not in good shape, but this
will be remedied in time for to-nights

be smoother and a new section of floor will
be laid on the south side Of the rink
where there is a slight depression. All of

round bout tonight between Jack McClel-

Francisco, ended in a draw. McClelland,
who fought McPadden at st. Louis last
night, arrived here only a short time be-
fore time to enter the ring. Notwithstand-
ing this. he was strong throughout the con-
test and put up good fight In the first
round Toy reopened the wound over Nc
Clellands eye, and the blood kept McClel-
land in distress until the end Of the fight
Until the third round McClelland forced
the lighting. Toy in this round staggered
the Pittsburger with blow on the chin,
but he retaliated with vicious rush which
temporarily put Toy in bad way. The
fourth, fifth and sixth rounds were even,
with both men doing fast work and both
bleeding profusely- The succeeding rounds
were principally rushes and cIinches, each
man trying hard for knockout. but were
unable to land.

ACCUSED OF BIGAMY.
Arrest Of Frank Bernard Cooper, n
Chicago Agent.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10. - Frank Bernard
Cooper, said to be the Western agent for
several large publishing houses in the
East, was arrested here to-day on a war
rant charging him with bigamy. The war
rant was sworn out by ]. A. Yorston.
Yorston alleges that Cooper, who married
Mrs. Yorston's niece, was not entitled to
marry, owing to the divorce laws of the
State of New York. Coopers former wife
obtained decree of divorce in New York
city in October. Under law which took
effect last September the defendant in a
divorce suit is not allowed to marry again
within three months, as the final order is
not entered until that time has elapsed.
Cooper says he was married on the advice
of his attorneys, who told him he could do
so If the ceremony was performed outside
the jurisdiction of the New York courts.
