PUNISHMENT FOR TREASON.
Col. Arthur Lynch, British Subject
Who Fought with Beers, Tried
and Sentenced to Death.

London, Jan. 24.-Col. Arthur Lynch,
who has been on trial here for sew
eral days charged with treason, in
that he took up arms against the
British in the Boer war, was found
guilty Friday and Immediately SEN
fenced to death.
Lynch took his sentence coolly.
When asked if he had anything to say
before sentence was passed, he re-
Piled: THANK you, 1 will say moth
ing"
When sentence vas pronounced he
simply bowed his head to the court
and was taken away.
The lord chief justice gave Mrs.
Lynch permission to see her husband.
After the prisoner had been re-
moved, Lynch and his counsel had a
conference regarding the course to
be adopted in the future, and later
it was announced that no action
would be taken at present. Counsel
can proceed with applying for a writ
of error, but it is thought that this
may be rendered unnecessary by the
commutation of the sentence to a
short term of Imprisonment, in which
case it is probable that the prisoner
will accept the situation.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The yenezUe-

the administration regards the bonn
bardment as unwarranted, the United
States has no intention of taking Off

Minister Bowen's position is n of
patient waiting. He has not yet re-
ceived an answer from his initial
proposition to the allies that the
blockade be Immediately raised,
though exchanges are still being
made between London, Berlin and
Rome in an effort to prepare a joint
reply. The departure of the German
charge from Caracas after the pre-
~sentation of his ultimatum with the
ensuing attack upon the legation
building) and the repulse of the
Panther by the Venezuelan forts is
regarded as affording motives but not
excuses for the continuing hostilities
of the German men-of-war. 1t is un-
derstood that both these incidents
have been the source of considerable
chagrin to the German emperor, and
on this ground his orders to the

THE TREATY WITH COLOMBIA.
The Subject Discussed at a Cabinet Meet
ing and satisfaction Expressed at
saAs@ Rasurtss "A hIaved.gass@

Washington, Ian. 24-Friday's
Meeting of the cabinet was N OF the
most important held in several weeks.
Subjects of great moment were dis
cussed fully, the session continuing
for two hours. All the members OF
the cabinet were present, Secretary
Hay leaving his home for the first
time in several days to attend the
meeting. He presented a draft of the
Panama canal treaty signed Thursday
evening, and both the president and
his associates in the cabinet ex-
pressed satisfaction with the results
achieved through the long and diff
cult Negotiations.
| Differ as to the Annuity.
The treaty is identical with that
drawn by this government several
months ago, and at that time SUBJ
mitted to the Colombian government,
with the single exception of the
amount of annuity to be paid Colom-
bia for the right of way of the canal.
This government proposed an annuity
of S1oo, geo while Colombia demanded
$650.000. The Colombian governments
demand was based, it is stated, upon
the a~scertained returns from the
Panama Railroad Co. in port dues,
etc, which Colombia did not desire to
have reduced. During the several
months of negotiations Colombia
agreed to all points in the treaty pro-
posed by the United States with the
exception of the annuity. oar
The Amount Increased.
That has been the point of differ
ence for many weeks, and at one
time it threatened to break off nego-
~tiations entirely. Secretary Hay COM
municated directly with the Colom-
bian government, intimating that
some agreement must be reached
soon, as the United States desired to
enter on the construction of the ca
nal, if it were to be constructed by
the Panama route. For several days
active efforts have been making to
secure an agreement, but not until
Thursday were they successful. The
Colombian government then, through
MIR. Herran, the charge d'affaires
here, agreed to accept an annuity of
S250,0oo. This was entirely satisfac-
tory to the president and Secretary
Hay, and while it is a larger amount
than was offered at first, it is believed
by administration. officials that the
senate undoubtedly will accept the
figure named in the treaty. particu-
larly after it is made clear that a
lesser amount would deprive Colom-
bia of income which she is now actu-
ally receiving.
United States VIII Control Canal.
All other points than this one of
money compensation remain as they
stood in the original draft of the
treaty and are completely satisfac-
tory to the United States. The Unit
ed States will have control Of the
canal practically in perpetuity, as re-
CURED by the Spooner act; this re-
suit having been attained by the
adoption of a plan for a lease for 100
years, renewable at the pleasure of
the United States, and Colombia hav-
ing nothing to say about the extern
sion. The matters of police and juri-
deal control is settled by a scheme
of joint action, although it especially
is assured that no citizen of the Unit
ed States will be tried by any other
than his own courts.
