NECESSARY TO
KILL CAPTAIN
Bloody Work of Natives of New
Hebrides.
RESULT OF SUPERSTITION
A DEAD BODY WAS BROUGHT
ASHORE FOR BURIAL.

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 25.@The
Y steamer Moana. from Australia,
brought news of an attack on the
recruiting schooner Lily by the natives
OF MallicOlO, in the New Heb
rides, who murdered Captain Hen
~ Asnus Atkinson, BritIsher, and
wounded two Of the crew The sehOon-
err was employed in taking a large
number OF natives who had been EN-
ployed in New Caledonia by French
planters to their homes, and one of
those consigned to BIaliicOlo died when
| near there, and Captain Atkinson de-
eided to bury the body ashore instead
of at sea.
When Captain Atkinson landed from
the whaler which brought the natives
ashore he was rushed and his rife
taken by the crowd OF blacks on shore.
He was then shot and killed with his
own rifle, two balls being sent into
his breast. Seine of the native crew
tried to save the dead captains body,
but the natives who had just landed
aided those ashore and the crew fed,
two of them being wounded as they
swan back to the schooner
The attack was the result of super
stitiOn attached to the bringing of the
dead body. the natives believing it to
be necessary to kill the whites to pre-
vent further deaths from occurring.
The schooner Pearl was attacked on
this island a few days later. She
called at Espiegle Bay, another part Of
the island, 20 land natives, when she
was fired upon and several of the ma
tive crew were wounded.
The rescued captain and crew Of the
ketch Marquis of Linlithgow have
been brought to Lancaster by
steamer which picked them up in Buss
straits. where they had remained on
a small rock two miles and a half from
the mainland without food or water
and with the sea sweeping over them
for three days. Their ketch was
wrecked close by and they ultimately
patched up a broken dinghy, which en-
abled the seven unfortunate to reach
the shore

article q of The Hague convention
shown by the allied powers in coercing
Venezuela.
In his letter Baron d'Estournelles
strongly supports the contention of the
United States that the Venezuelan
trouble should be referred to The
Hague court After pointing out that
the present is just the contingency
contemplated by article p. the writer
says:
"The conflict rests between Venezue-

BLOCKADE MUST CEASE.
No Matter What Tribunal Acts as
Arbitrator

Washington, Dec. 25.-No confirma-
ton could be obtained in Washington
tonight of the report coming from
Caracas that the proposition had been
made TO President Castro that all pend
ing differences between Venezuela and
the European governments having
claims against her be submitted to ar
filtration of The Hague tribunal. Sec
rotary Hay had retired when the dis
patch reached Washington. and no
other officials of the state department
were able to give any information on
TIE subject 1t is known that only two
DAYS ago President Roosevelt had not
determined whether or not to accept
the proposal of the allies to act as ar
bltrator or to urge again that the ques-
ton should go to The Hague
If, as is stated, the suggestion has
come from Washington that the mat

at the long conference the president

time considering the proposals of tax

dispatch to President Castro through
Minister Bowen, suggesting arbitration

conference
The officials here have refused abso-

since the receipt of the proposal of the
allies, or even to give out anything
bearing on the terms of that proposal.
