MUST MAKE GOOD THE LOSS.
A Mint superintendent and His Sure
ties Held Responsible for Loss
of Treasury Notes.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The question
of liability of Andrew NJ. Smythe, late
superintendent of the United States
mint at New Orleans, for $4,000 in
treasury notes which were lost by
him while in his custody, was decided
by the United States supreme court,
Monday, adversely to Mr.. Smythe.
The claim was made on his behalf
that notes were burned, and it was
urged that as the notes were only
promises to pay, the government had
in reality lost nothing by their de-
struction. The court, however, re-
fused to accept this view, holding
Smythe and his sureties for the entire
amount lost. Justice Peckham dis
sented.

Some doubts are expressed as to
whether those Russian warships went
through the Dardanelles after all.
Both Russia and Turkey intimate that
they did not, and they are the parties
of the first and second part in the
case. England, which opposed the
granting by Turkey of the permission
to the boats, to make the passage, says
that the journey was made. There is
strong probability that England is
right.

MORE UNPOPULAR EVERY DAY.
The British PepOle Don't Like the
AngIo-German Alliance.

New York, Jan. 27.-The Anglo
German alliance becomes more un-
popular every day, according to a dis
patch from London to the Tribune.
Rightly or wrongly, the feeling is
growing that the Berlin government
is doing it's best to involve England
in a~quarrel with America: 1t is diff
ficult to say what will be the out
come of the San Carlos incident.
Henry Norman, who is one of the
ablest critics of foreign affairs in the
house of commons, points out that
although the Monroe doctrine has
been formally recognized by Great
Britain, it has not been recognized
by Germany, and as nobody who fol-
lows German opinion closely doubts
for a moment that misunderstand-
ing between this country and Amer
lea would be very far from being a
matter for sorrow in Germany, it
was a masterstroke of diplomacy for
the kaiser to inveigle the British
government into this alliance for
joint action within the sphere of the
Monroe doctrine.

that the blockade would be raised

Washington, Jan. 27.-There is no
information in Washington to justify
the positive statement contained in
the Caracas dispatch that the Vene-
Zuela blockade will be raised on
Wednesday,. Minister Bowen con-
tinues hopeful that such happy con-
summation will result from the pend
ing negotiations, as the latest propo-
sition he has made to the allied gov
ernments is regarded by him as an
eminently fair one. He is still await
ing formal replies to that proposition
from Great Britain and German, and
on these will depend the question
whether the blockade is to be raised.
AS indicated in the Rome dispatches
received Monday night, the question
now to be determined is the amount
of customs receipts which are to be
given as q guaranty. Great Britain
is believed to be favorable to accept
ing the 80 per cent. offered by Mr..
Bowen, while Germany is supposed to
be insisting on so per cent
Minister Bowen declines to discuss
the question in any of it's phases,
nor will he disclose what is the actual
amount of guaranty he has offered.

characterized all its actions In the
present emergency, the Italian gov
ernment has cabled to it's feet COM

draw from the blockade as soon as
