No conflrmation Of Arresta.

Berlin, Dec 10.-The foreign office
here up to noon had received nothing
from LaGuayra since Monday even
ing. when Charge d'Affaires Won Pill
grim Baltazzi cabled that he had gone
on board the Vinetas. The officials
here have no confirmation of the an
nOunced arrest of all the German and
British subjects at Caracas, and are,
therefore, disposed to discredit the
statement They say that possibly
a few Germans and Englishmen have
been arrested under some pretext by
President Castro, but the foreign office
considers It extremely doubtful that
he would permit the arrest Of all Ger.
man and British subjects at Caracas.

expected to go into the senate early

that it will add eight months to his
term of office, He is strongly opposed,
it is stated, to giving his approval to
any measure which wouldf give him
a longer term than that for which he
was elected. This is, in substance.
what his veto message will state, ac-
cording to the report at the capitol.
The general belief is that the senate
will pass the bill over the governors
veto and that the house will do the
same thing.

house caused much discussion. It
was taken up almost the. first thing
during the morning session and was
disposed Of in comparatively short

for his approval or disapproval

catur county, to prohibA the sale of
adulterated sirup under The guise of

Much discussion was indulged in by
the members of the house over the
measure and it was passed in substi.
tute form, the substitute being offered
by the author of the original bin.
Amendments that were proposed were
all voted down.
The bill is of general Importance
and interest If passed by the senate
and approved by the governor it be.
comes effective Sept. 1903, and stip.
ulates that on and after that date it
shall be unlawful for any one to sell.
advertise for sale or offer for sale
within the limits of the state any aduI.
terated or mixed sirup whaever, except
at the time of sale or offer for sale the
percentage Of such adulteration or ad.
mixture is clearly stamped on the re.
ceptacle containing the sirup.

HENDsONVIILE 5. Q Sept. 2 1896.
MR. a. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated float
inc saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst maarial
influences. l employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and [ determined to give the
medicine a trial. / procured it. and those who
we're sick were put on this treatment and those who
we're feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one Ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic and
never had another case Of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

Caracas, Tuesday, Dec. 9.-It is said
on good authority that the captain
of the British cruiser Retribution this
afternoon sent a special courier from
La(suaira to Caracas with an ultima
tum for compliance with the note de-
positsd yesterday by the British and
German ministers at the home Of the
foreign minister before their depart
ure from Caracas. It is said the ul-
timatum gives a maximum of 4S hours
in which Venezuela is to accede. The
note, it is said, requests the immedi-
ate cash payment of $4,000 each to
Great Britain and Germany for the
settlement Of claims arising from past
revolutions by a mixed tribunal, the
same as the last agreement made with
France.
It is also said that the British min
lister at the last moment failed to pre-
sent claims, except for $4,000 but
his claim is not duly supported by le-
gal documents and facts and is con-
sidered absurd.
1t is understood here that United
States Minister Bowen has assumed
charge Of British and German inter
ests.

day, but Judge Shaw has to hear a
case of habeas corpus on Tuesday,
hence the examination at Salisbury to-
day That this case is going to stir up
al row there can be no doubt in the
world. 1 have it from the best authori-
ty, that there are eleven other men,
known to have been in the lynching,
one of them a county officer, or rather
a sub officer that it is expected
soon to have enough legal evidence to
Justify their arrest. The solicitor is
naturally reticent about it, and when
asked about this last piece of informa-
ton. declined to deny or affirm its accu-
racy, but saying, hat it was the hard
est matter in the world to get a shred
of legal testimony against any man but
the man arrested. He said he could
n out all about who was in the crowd
until the probe of evidence was put into
the reports, when all basis of legal
fact would vanish into thin air. My
information is, that not a single one OF
the better element of Salisbury people
was directly implicated in the lynchlng,
but that a great many know who was,
and won't tell.
