Beet Sugar Syndicate Favorable
To New Proposal
Western Representatives Will Vote
For Bounty

Special Cablegram to Boletin Mercantil
New York, January 1O.h.-Iu-
formation has been received from
Washington in regard to the sugar
situation to the effect ttat the Beet
Sugar interests favor the now mea-
sure proposed by Secretary Root,
and that the majority Of western
representatives will vote for the new
measure. The Beet interests have
been unanimously opposed to the
free admission OF Cuban Sugar into
the United States on the ground
that the Sugar Trust would be the
only interest that would benefit by
the removal of the duties and that
the price of raw material would be
such as to ruin the beet interests
The Beet men and the Cuban plan
ters have now joined their forces in
favor OF the measure for a bounty
equal TO one half of the present
duty.

Schmidt. who was searchingly examined

counts of the Trebortrocknung Company
with an air of openness, truthfulness and
almost injured innocence His nimble mind
had an answer ready for every question.
Though a prisoner he was as much at MS
ease as any one in the courtroom.
He admitted various irregularities, like
back dating entries in books. but affirmed
that all of these were simply devices 10

newspaper criticism and asserted that the
unusual measures were perfectly leglti-
mate In the end Schmidt admitted with
smile that for some time the Leipziger
RANK had unfortunately been the COM

his confidence in the ultimate success of
his alcohol distilling invention was based
during the critical period before the col
lanse on the agreement with his American
competitors going into effect on New

have control of the international market.

CONVENTION OF MINERS.
This Week Will Determine Whether
There is to Be Strike.

Indianapolis Ind, July H.-Whether
there shall be a general suspension of
work among the bituminous coal mines,
in support of the great anthracite strike,
may be determined in indianapolis by
the end of this week. The national con-
vention called to settle the matter will
open Thursday morning at 10 o'clock in
Tomlinson Hall. Delegates from more
than twenty States, representing the most
powerful labor organizations in the world,
are now on their way to Indianapolis.
The first arrivals are expected tonight
from Ohio, Illinois and near States that
are perhaps most vitality interested be-
cause of their contracts with the opera
tors. There will be nearly 1000 delegates,
holding approximately 10000 credentials.
It is conceded at this time that the con-
vention will either favor suspension of
work throughout the entire bituminous
fields or will provide for defense fund,
greater than their treasury now offers,
although it is said the miners have nearly
100000 in the national and among the
locals,

Castro at Barcelona.

Port of Spain, Trinidad. July H.-(By
boat from Barcelona)-President Castro
has taken command of the Venezuelan
troops at Barcelona. The force numbers
about $500 men. President Castro found
the troops in a destitute condition and
has spent the time since taking command
in reorganizing them and they now pre-
sent much better appearance. President
Castro asserts that he will have crushed
the revolution headed by Senior Malos
within fifteen days. The revolutionists
forces which were marching on Caracas
and Rolondo from the neighborhood Of
Barcelona have ceased their advance and
retired. They apparently do not intend to
accept battle in that vicinity but to force
General Castro to engage them near Uri-
ca or further in the interior, where the
country is very uneven, easily defended
and well known to the revolutionists. Into
this trap the revolutionists believe Gen
eral Castro's impetuosity will carry him.
The rebels are receiving reinforcements
daily. Military events in Venezuela during
the next week. it is believed, will decide
President Castro's future.
Anarchy is reported to exist in many
places and the misery is said to be in
describable. Carupano was evacuated yes
terday by the government forces and was
Immediately occupied by the revolution

TO PREVENT LooTINa OF CHINA
United States Will Endeavor to
Protect the Oriental Treasury.


Washington, July A--Oficials of the
State Department are gratified at the in
formation conveyed in press dispatches
from Pekin to the effect that the foreign
ministers have agreed on the terms under
which Tientsin is to be turned over to
the Chinese and also at the victory for
American dimplomacy involved in the
amelioration of the stringent terms first
imposed.
Some corncern, however, Is felt here in
regard to the statement that the ministers
are considering the question of reimburs-
ing the foreign concessionaires for the
grants obtained under the provisional
government which are now reported to
be declared invalid by the terms of the
Tientsin agreement It is pointed out
that the German. French and other citi-
zens who obtained concessions from the
provisional government did so with their
eyes open to the probability OF change
of government at Tientsin and a conse-
auent annulment of their concessions.
and it is felt that the Chinese treasury
should not be drained for the purpose
indicated. It Is therefore probable that
some influence will be brought to bear
by this government to prevent another
inroad on the Chinese Government funds.

The Topeka. which has been at La

The Navy Department does not believe
the Marietta will be detained more than
a few days in Venezuela, and will be
able to carry out her original orders to
relieve the Machias. The only explana-
ton at the Department for dispatching
the Marietta to La Guayra is that Minis
