BOYS SOLD AS SLAVES
MANY KIDNAPPED AND SENT TO THE
PLANTATIONS OF YUCATAN.
Enticed from the Streets OF the City
of Mexico to N House and Sc
cretIy shipped Away.

MEXICO CITY, April lathe police of
this city have broken up a gang of kid
napers who have been enticing young boys
10 a house in this city. where the lads were
kept prior TO being shipped to Yucatan TO
work on the Henequin plantations. Com
plants have been coming into police head
quarters of missing boys and the detectives
surmised that there was systematic kid
naping going on all over the city. The de-
tectives, in following up clews, found
house in Peralvillo street, on the outskirts
Of the city. where eleven boys who had
been enticed there were discovered. They
were kept under guard day and night and
insuf1ciently fed and amid foul surround
ings. The men in the house were arrested
and taken TO prison. They denied they
were anything but clerks of one Enrique
Inglesias. a labor contractor engaged in
securing men and boys for work in Yucca
tan. where the demand for labor is very
pressing The eleven boys secured from
these trafickers in human beings were TO
have been Immediately sent 10 Vera Cruz
and thence to go to their long slavery in
Yucatan Subsequently the guards at the
Peralvillo-street house confessed they were
employed by Iglesias to entrap boys and
confine them in the house till a convenient
opportunity arose for sending them TO
Yucatan. The boys were met on the streets
and promised food, clothing and spending
money If they would accompany their alb
ductors.
A large number of boys are missing and
the police believe they have been stolen in
a similar manner. The authorities will
carefully investigate the atrocities. The
boys so captured are said on reaching
Yucatan. TO be held practically slaves, re-
ceiving nothing but their food and main
tenance. Iglesias, said to be the head of
the gang, is still at large.

WASHINGTON. April 1S.-Prof. Milton

Department of Agriculture, has returned
from trip TO Hartford, Conn, New York
and Philadelphia, where he went to learn
the feeling in regard to the Sumatra to-

experts. He reports that the interest in
this tobacco leaf is increasing among the
tobacco trade, and says it is believed that
il will become a sharp competitor OF the
Sumatra tobacco. The leaf has improved
very much since il was packed, taking on
a gloss and finish that is considered very
desirable 1t is a well-known fact pro-
fessor Whitney says, that all such leaf
improves very much by standing for at
least six months in bales. Boxes of cigars
wrapped with this tobacco after being
packed two months were opened in Hart
ford and the gloss and finish of the wrap
pers were very much finer than when the
cigars were packed, showing that the
color is permanent.
The tobacco is to be sold at auction in
Hartford on May l. 1t has been classified
and a catalogue of all the bales is being
prepared for distribution among the trade
especially the cigar manufacturers.

ten members Of which have been confined

Christian convert, and to marry a Chris
tian girl, notwithstanding that he came
from well-known Jewish family of Dom
brow, Galicia. His parents, to avoid the
consequences of his proposed change OF
faith sent him TO a brother in this coun-

cused by the Christian peasants of the
neighborhood with having murdered him.
They were arrested and taken in chains TO
the nearest jail News of this reached the
brother here. and committee of twelve
was selected TO arrange to send the young
man back in order to prove that he had not
been murdered. The committee, of which
the doctor was chairman. raised enough
money to carry out its purpose, and an

ALL HOPING FOR PEACE
BRITONS THINK THE OUTLOOK IN
SOUTH AFRICA Is FAVORABLE.
Cabinet officials Busy Considering
Dispatches from Kitchener, and
Chamberlain Visits the King.

LONDON, April 13.-Tlie announcement
of the presence at Pretoria of the Orange
Free State and Transvaal leaders and gen.
erals who have been at klerksdOrp con-
sidering terms of peace has caused a de-
cided increase I'm the hopefuness OF the
public concerning the possibilities OF peace
The expectations aroused by the confer
ence at Pretoria have been further height
ened by the movements of Mr.. Chamber
lain, the colonial secretary, and other
members of the Cabinet in London. and
evidences that important dispatches are
passing between Lord Kitchener and the
government.
A conference of members Of the Cabinet
was held last midnight in Mr.. Chamber
lain's house. Mr.. Chamberlain, Mr. Brod-
rick the war secretary, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, the chancellor of the exchequer
and the Duke of Devonshire. president of
the council, were present. The conference
terminated at l o'clock this morning and
to-day Mr.. Chamberlain and several of the
colonial officials were in their offices. Mes
sengers passed between them and Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach at his residence.
At half past l o'clock this afternoon Mr..
Chamberlain drove to Buckingham Palace
and remained with King Edward for two
hours. During the afternoon messengers
carried dispatches from the Foreign Office
to Lord Salisbury. who, with Mr.. Balfour.
the government leader i'm the House Of
Commons. was at Hatfield House.
These outward signs of Sunday activity
have not been supplanted by any authentic
or official statement. The question most
discussed thus far has been whether the
peace negotiations would affect the gov
ernments financial proposals, which prom
Use to be submitted to Parliament to-mor-

of to-day is taken in some quarters TO in

of the negotiations. Whatever instructions
have been sent to Lord Kitchener are be

The comparatively brief duration of the
conferences at KlerksdOrp is regarded as
an indication that the BOer leaders found

new YORK WASNOT" DRY"
THIRSTY GOTHAMITES COULD NOT
BUY LIQUOR IN COMMON SALOONS,
But They Had No Difficulty in Getting
All the Booze They Desired in
Raines Law Hotels.

NEW YORK, April 13.-The New Yorker
who wanted a drink of intoxicating liquor
to-day discovered that the enforcement
of the excise law, through the combined
efforts OF the uniformed police and the
members of the State Liquor Dealers AS
ISOLATION, had assumed several new aspects.
The first was that while it was much
harder than heretofore to get a drink in a
saloon holding merely a liquor tax, a GER
tifcate. it was much easier to obtain one
in a Raines-law hotel. The buyer also
found that while last Sunday he was
served either with plate of cheese and
crackers with his drink or was given a
sandwich to eat or not as he chose, to-
day he could not buy drink without also
buying a sandwich.
Saloon men who were seen during the day
seemed to think that the police activity had
much to do with the saloons being kept
closed tightly for the most part, and ar
gued that the hotel men We're doing more
business because they had been studying
what they could and could not do with
impunity. The Raines-law hotels through
out the city were, as a rule exceedingly
well patroniZed.
In the Tenderloin district there were
very few places without a hotel license
that made any attempt to do business.
The district, ii said, was closed tighter
than had been known in years. The plan
OF selling in rooms overhead the saloon
and similar ruses were done away with,
seemingly for the reason that the dealers
thought the trouble too great and the COM
pensatiOn too small. The police of this dis
trict were very active well. and there
was but a small attempt TO do business.
Up to o'clock in the evening there had
not been an arrest in the precinct for
violation of the excise law.
In the West Thirty -seVenth-street dis
trict. where the trouble started two weeks
ago, the same condition prevailed. The
police were active, the saloons closed and
the Raines-law hotels doing a big business.
There was but one arrest in daylight hours
In the other parts OF the city somewhat
similar conditions prevailed.
At IL O'Clock tonight police headQuar-
tiers reported fOrty-One arrests in Greater
New York for violation Of the excise law
as against III for the twentyfour hours OF
last Sunday.

evening demonstration into a day demon
stration. and To issue a manifesto urging
the people to avoid violence. AT a meet
ing of delegates from the trades unions the
order for general strike was confirmed.
The newspapers published to-day de-
scribe a CHASTITY struggle which occurred
Saturday night between some of the work
men who desired to carry a wounded and
dying man TO the MaisOE du Peuple. and
the police, who were trying 10 convey him
TO q Red Cross ambulance. The wounded
man had nearly all his clothes torn off him
before the police prevailed in their efforts
and he died Immediately.
The Petit Bleu thinks ii not unlikely that
martial law will be proclaimed on Tuesday
If the riots continue and that the third
class of the militia will be called out.
The meetings of Socialists and workmen
at Client and Liege to-day were orderly
Dynamite was exploded at the Catholic
Club at CharlerOi Saturday night and
