Washington News.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-The State De-
partment to-day made public reports from
Ambassador White at Berlin, dated July y
and IA, that according TO an official procla-
nation the meat inspection law will go into
force in its entirety on April l, 1903, with
the exception of the section which relates
to doing away with the second examina-
ton of meat once officially inspected. This
paragraph will not go into effect until Oct.
l. 1904.
A report on the new regulations received
from Consul Richard Guenther at Frank
fort says that as the time is approaching
when the new regulations concerning the
importation of meat and it's transportation
in transit through Germany will go into
force it will be well 10 note that the fol-
lowing imports into Germany are pro-
hibited: Meat in Theoretically sealed boxes
and similar vessels, as well as sausages
and other mixtures of chopped meats, dog
meat. also prepared meat OF horses, asses,
mules and other sOlipeds: meats which have
been treated with one of the following sub
stances or with a preparation containing
such: boracic acid and its salts, formalde-
hyde, hydro oxides and carbonateS OF al
kalis, sulphurous acid and its salts, hypo-
sulphurous salts, fluor hydrogen and its
salts, saicylic acid and its salts, chloride
salts and coloring substances of whatever
nature. The latter, however. may be en-
ployed for coloring coverings If not other
wise prohibited.
Fresh meat may be imported into Ger
many in whole carcasses only. When i'm
ported in halves the two halves must be
so marked as TO be readily identified. The
report of the consul gives detailed informa-
ton as 10 how fresh meats must be pre-
pared to be imported.

the lifebOats from the Seguin. The City
of Venice went down in very deep water in
less than fifteen minutes after the collision
occurred. After standing by for an hour
the Seguin headed for Cleveland with the
survivors, arriving here early to-day.
First Mate Sullivan, of the City of Venice,
who is lying in a critical condition at the
Marine Hospital, rallied slightly this after
noon and made a statement regarding the
collision. Il was on the night watch" he
said. 1T was something after midnight
when / first saw another boat ahead. 1t
was still some distance away, but l blew
the whistle to signal the boat She did not
answer. l thought that ii was strange but
as she was some distance away made no
attempt TO get out of the way. All our
lights were burning and there was no fog
so / do not see how they could have helped
seeing our vessel. When the boat was con-
siderably closer / whistled again, but still
there was no answer. l was then fright
ened and signaled still another time l saw
that were not seen; at least there was
no attention paid to our signals and the
boat was bearing directly down upon US

a short time.
Including the crew and passengers there
were about twenty-five persons on the City
OF Venice.
The City of Venice was a wooden vessel

VIEWS OF FATHER PAYA.
He Does Not Think All the Friars VIII
Leave the Philippines.

ROME, Aug. 5.-Cardinal Rampolla, the
papal secretary of state, gave a farewell
audience to-day to Father Santiago Paya,
provincial of the Dominicans in the Philip
pine islands, who will leave on the 18th inst.
for Manila. Father Paya will go by way of
Spain and the United States and expects to
arrive at Manila by the end of September
Cardinal Rampolla in his conversation with
Father Paya limited himself to the state
ment that religious questions in the archi-
pelago would be settled satisfactorily to all
concerned.
Father Paya in private conversation ex-
pressed doubt TO the entire elimination
of the Spanish friars Of the four orders un-
der discussion though their total number
in the Philippines has been reduced to three
hundred. The Augustinians the most
numerous, but the American friars of that
order are few in number, and according to
Father Paya do not wish to leave the
United States. Continuing, the Dominican
provincial says that the members OF his
own order in the Philippines had been re-
duced to the number absolutely necessary
TO carry on the schools in their charge, and
that they had no desire to return to par
ishes which they had never occupied in
large numbers. 1t would be difficult TO re-
place them in this country, he said as a
special knowledge of local dialects is re-
quired in order to teach the natives.

TO RAISE FOUR MILLIONS
LOAN BILL PASSED BY UPPER
HOUSE OF CUBAN CONGRESS-.
Measure Also Provides for Another
Loan of s3o,OOO,OOO to Pay Debts
of the Revolution.

HAVANA, Aug. 5.-The Senate to-day
passed the bill which had already been dis
cussed and approved in part to empower
the executive to raise loan of $40 600 at
the minimum price of 80 and at the maxi
mum rate of interest of per cent, pay
able maturity years, to be used to assist the
sugar cane growers of the island. This bill
includes authorization to raise within six
months another loan of $35, 900 900 to include
the first loan. This second loan is to be
used to pay the Cuban revolutionary army
and the debts of the revolution referred to
in the constitution.
Some changes in the original draft of
the bill regarding securities have been
made; at present the executive is empow-
cred to pledge the customs receipts in gen.
eral and the receipts due from increased du-
ties on certain articles in particular as Sc
curity, first for the loan of $4,0O0000 and
then for the loan of S35O0O,000 AS a re-
suit of this change the clause which pro-
vided that congress should vote special
taxes before the end of the present session
TO secure the second loan of $50, 900 OOO is
rendered unnecessary because, as the draft
was first presented, the above mentioned
security only referred to the 100000 loan.
The bill provides that the duties on the
following articles be raised: That on coal.
p per cent; tallow, 30 per cent; common
soap; $50 per cent; pine timber, 40 per
cent; chickens, 100 per cent; canned meat,
80 per cent; fresh meat and mutton. 80 per
cent; pork. 100 per cent. salt beef 80
per cent; the present duty on jerked beef
is to be raised 80 per cent. and may be
raised 100 per cent. should this be found
necessary; bacon. 100 per cent. hams, 80
per cent; lard. cheese, condensed milk and
flour, 100 per cent; butter, 20 per cent; cod
fish, 100 per cent: behring's, 80 per cent. !:
rice. eggs. peas, onions, potatoes and olive
oil, 100 per cent; coffee, 80 per cent; maise
per cent; shoes, 10 TO IL per cent; wine 20
per cent: liquors. 20 per cent; cider, 80 per
cent; beer. 30 per cent; hats. GO per cent
and preserved food, 100 per cent. IT is es-
timated that these increases will give rev.
enue of $4,000 a year.

CASTRO AFTER REBELS
PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA LEAVES
HIS CAPITAL AGAIN.
Now Has an Army Equal to the In
surgents and Expects to Give
Battle in n Few Days.

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Aug. 4.-Presi-
dent Castro of Venezuela left Caracas on
Sunday to personally conduct the second
and what he believes will be the final cam
paign against the revolutionists. He will
proceed to Charayave and Qua, little places
about a day and a half from the capital.
lie had with him 300 men and expected
to meet en- route $500 more men brought
back from La Victoria and Valencia. The
revolutionists under General Mendoza are
at San Casimiro and those under General
Matos are at Orituco. Their junction is
expected momentarily. In consequence of
the inexplicable delay of the revolutionists
in advancing, President Castro has had
time TO organize new armies and to-day he
is nearly strong in numbers as are the
revOlutionists. He expects reinforcementS
of 5000 men from the Andes and Trujillo
States, commanded by General Baptista.
The only advantage the revolutionsts have
at present comes from the fact that they
have in their ranks the better military
leaders.
Four million cartridges and 10000 Mauser
rifles were received by President Castro
last Saturday. Half of these were depos-
tied in Caracas and the other half was
sent to Maraicabo on a schooner This
distribution of munitions of war is taken
TO be proof that If Castro's forces are
beaten In the expected engagement with the
revolutionists, and If the President can
escape, he intends to prolong resistance
and purposes TO transport the headquar tiers
of the government TO San CristObol, in the
extreme western part of Venezuela, where
he was born. This apparent decision on the
part OF President Castro has created a
feeling Of depression in commercial and
financial circles.
Barcelona, in the State of Bermudez, is
at present being surrounded by revolution
lists estimated to number 500 under
the command of General Platero. They
demand the surrender of Barcelona. The
government soldiers in the town number
only 200 men and ii is not believed that they
will offer resistance.

spaniards File Unusual Suit.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The question Of
the right of the government to seize and
use private vessels IN the harbor of a de-
tendency of an enemy for war purposes
during wartime is involved in a case in
which an appeal was docketed in the
United States Supreme Court to-day. The
case is that of S. Ribas Hijo, a company
with offices in Vigal, Spain, and Ponce.
Porto Rico, against the United States for
the payment of $4,000 for the alleged lease
by the United States Of the company S
vessel, The PaZ. since wrecked in the
Porto Rican hurricane. The appellants
claim that the vessel was leased by the
quartermaster's department as a collier
from July IS, 1898, to Aug. u, 1899, and that
the War Department has refused to pay
any money whatever for the use of the
vessel. The case is appealed from the Dis
trict Court of Porto Rico, which upheld the
seizure as q use of an enemyS property
by a war power for war purposes recog-
nized by international law. The United
States claimed its REIMBURSEMENT of the
vessel was purely act of grace.
