The GUNBoAT SETTLED IT.
Attempt by Venezuela to Collect Forced Loan
from our Vice Consul abandoned.
fBv the Associated Press.)


Washington. D. c., Nov. S.-The trip
of the gunboat Marietta to Barcelona,
resulted in a satisfactory settlement OF
the case of Vice United States Consul
Baiz at that place. Several DAYS ago
Mr.. Baiz complained to Minister Bowen,
that the Venezuelan government threat
ened to collect a forced loan from him.
Mr.. BaiZ is a wealthy man, and although
a native of st. Thomas, the Venezuelan
rebels set up the claim that he was a
citizen of the country and attempted TO
take loan from him under duress.
Without consulting the Department,
Bowen dispatched the Marietta to the
scene, subsequently notifying the De-
partment of his action Today Com
mander Diehl reported from La Guayra,
to which place the Marietta returned
yesterday, that the case had been set
tied satisfactorily and that he would
send particulars by mail.
Later, the State Department was mott
fed that the guards had been removed
from MIR. Baiz's house, and assurances
had been given by the authorities that
he would not be molested again. The
Department is well pleased at what it
regards as the firm and wise management
of this case by commander Diehl.

DENIAL BY GENERAL HUGHES.
He Says the Charge Of Burning and Laying
Waste in Pandyis Untrue.
(By the Associated Press. J

washington, Nov. S.-The War De-
partment today made public a statement
by General r. P. Hughes, in reply to
charges contained in a letter written by
Henry LOOMS Nelson in Boston news
paper, August %, 1902, and which letter
is embraced in a pamphlet signed by
Charles Francis Adams, Carl Schurz,
Edwin Barrett Smith and Herbert Welsh,
committee, under the title of Marked
Seventies" Secretary Roots Record in
the Philippine Warfare" General
Hughes quoted the following extract
from the letter:
1.-THE Eighteenth regulars marched
from Iloilo in the south, to Capiz, in
the north of Panay, under orders to burn
every town from which they were at
tackled. The result was, they left a
strip Of land sixty miles wide from one
end of the island to the other, over which
the traditional crow could not have flown
without provisions. That is what burn
ing means, and no more 1t is not done
for the fun of the thing, but out of stern
necessity
General Hughes, who commanded in
Panay at the time, says the burning of
ItOllO was SuOWu ny the OilANAaA AS1OA"o
of the insurgent council to have been
the work of the insurgents. He says the
troops by 'some work, some fighting,
and much exposure to fire were able to
wrench a portion of Iloilo from the
flames"
After reviewing the work of the
Eighteenth Infantry in the Province of
Panay, General Hughes says:
"It has thus been shown that the
Eighteenth regulars had no order to
burn all towns from which they were
attacked, and that they did not leave a
strip of land sixty miles wide from one
end of the island to the other, over which
the traditional crow could not have
flown without provisions, but as mat
ter of fact, they did leave the country
uniniured the towns and villages intact

This change makes the next Legisla-

THE LIBERALS JUsILANT.
Think if General Election Were held it
Would Mean Government Defeat
CBy the Associated Press.)


London, Nov. S.-The Liberals are
jubilant and the Unionists are propoH-
tionately disgruntled over the results
of the bye-elections in the Cleveland and
East Toxteth divisions. The large in
crease in the Liberal majority in the
Cleveland division is generally admitted
even by the Conservative organs, to be
due to dissatisfaction with the educa-
ton bill, which still is vending its way
through the House of Commons. In the
East Toxteth the reduction of the I'M
ionist majority by over $500 was greatly
due to a curious feature unassociated
with current political controversies.
Austin Taylor who just managed to win
the seat, had taken a prominent part in
Liverpool against the Ritualists, whose
practices caused the crusade which re-
Gently ended in the tragic death of John
Kensit the anti Ritualist leader. This
stirred up the Ritualists of East ToX-
teth to such an extent that they entered
upon vigorous campaign against Mr..
TAYLOR and prominent Unionists issued
an appeal for aid for the Liberal cam
didate. Premier Balfour and Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain interviewed but
were unable to restore harmony The
curious spectacle was then presented of
a Liberal backed up by non-conformlsts
daily denouncing the clerical tendencies
of the education bill, yet having the
support of the fashionable clergy and
their congregations.
Both bye-elections, taken in conJunc-
ton with other Liberal successes, are
interpreted by the organs of the party
they favor as being sure signs that the
government will be defeated should
general election be held. This. however.
is quite unlikely, and it would take a
good many East ToXteths and Cleve-
lands to even appreciably disturb the
eouanimity of Mr.. Balfour's large solid
ma iority in the House of Commons.

Trainmen Threaten a Strike.
(By the Associated Press.j

Chicago, Nov. S.-The Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen has voted in favor
of strike, in case the railroads in the
Chicago district. shall refuse an increase
of more than 21ac. an hour wages. AL
though the Brotherhood has voted for a
strike it's members are not likely to quit
work Before the vote was taken, some
of the railroad managers had announced
that a greater increase in wages would
be allowed the men than at first offered.
It is probable that as soon as the result
of the vote shall be announced another
conference will be held. At this con-
ference it is expected that an increase
of cents an hour will be offeked and
this offer will be accepted.

The tomb contains the remains of a
woman between twenty and thirty
years of age, apparently buried with

1t is said this is the first discovery Of
the kind, although the old sages fire.

tomb probably dates from the viking

Illinois Central VIII Plant CatalpR
Trees For Nine Hundred Miles.
Within five or six years there will
probably be several rows of catalpa
trees stretching from Chicago to New
Orleans, distance Of about 900 miles,
says a dispatch from Chicago to the
Boston Herald. They are to be plant
ed by the Illinois Central railroad to
provide the company with lumber for
cross ties. Over 100000 Of the trees
will be planted.
At first it was thought to set aside
one or two tracks on which to plant the.
trees, but it has now been decided to
string the forest over the entire sys-
tenn, placing hundreds Of trees on every
spot where there is any considerable
room. From Chicago to New Orleans
the trees will be planted in profusion.
They will not be set out after any pat
tern or design, but the seeds will be
dropped into the ground around sta
tons, along the right of way in the
country, around warehouses and every
place where they may grow and at the
same time add to the surroundings
with their shade. The contract for
planting this immense longitudinal for
est has been let. Agents are now 1n'the
