ton Government, Which Is Striving
to Make Peace and Procure Salts
factory Settlement Of Claims.
New York. jan 24-The attempt of
the German naval authorities to de-
stroy the San Carlos Notifications,
capture a gunboat in Lake Maracai-
bo and interrupt the passage of sup
plies from Colombia eastward is con-
sidered most inopportune by all Eng
lish writers commenting on the affair,
since it is a direct affront to the
Washington government, which is
striving to make peace and proc IRE a
satisfactory settlement of outstanding
claims, says The Tribune's London
correspondent.
According to the Berlin press, what
ever Is done on the coast of Venezue-
la is by joint authority. If Germa-
ny be guilty of unfriendly conduct to-
ward the United States, England, as
partner in the alliance with her,
is also responsible This obligation
lends emphasis to the warning from
the strongest conservative journals
that there will be grave dissatisfaction
throughout the United Kingdom. if
the alliance with Germany involves
England in any sort of trouble with
the United States.

GREAT BRITAIN AND
THE CUBAN TREATY
John Bull Views Question
With Much Concern.
CABINET MEETING IS CALLED

CA6iNE NEE ING 10 CALLED.
Reciprocity Treaty Between Cuba and
United States Threatens Serious
Differences of Opinion Between
Great Britain and This Country.
London, Jan. 24-The reciprocity
treaty between Cuba and the United
States threatens to raise one of the
most serious differences of opinion be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States that has occurred for years. So
much significance is attached to the
matter that a meeting Of the cabinet
is being specially summoned to see
what action can be taken. There
is, ofvcourse, no alarmist feeling as to
any possible straining of diplomatic
relations, but Great Britain's entire
commercial policy is believed to be
vitality concerned.
The matter came to a head through
the deputation from the chamber of
commerce of the United Kingdom,
which waited upon foreign Secretary
Lansdowne yesterday. 1t included
several members Of parliament and
represented the most powerful busi-
ness interests from all the British in
dustrial centers
Replying to the delegates argument,
that all the advantages which the gov
ernment had gained by securing the
abolition of the sugar bounties would
be sacrificed if the Cuban reciprocity
treaty became operative, Lord Ians-
downe said he thoroughly realized the
gravity Of the situation, and proceed
ed to read dispatches showing that
Ambassador Herbert had forcefully
represented the British objections to
the treaty, pointing out that it was
to all intents and purposes a discrimi-
naion against all the British posses
sions in the West Indies.
Secretary Hays reply maintained
that the United States was doing no
more than it had the right to do. and
intimated that it had no intention of
modifying the Cuban treaty.
Lord Lansdone added that all the in
ACA AtlttC4CAl q y cIIIcDIG DO1uJ6Q TO the
fact that the treaty would pass. but
he announced that the cabinet would
consider if anything further could be
done, The delegates said they un-
derstood that the treaty contains
secret clause stipulating that no fur
ther measures of reciprocity shall be
undertaken by the United States to-
ward the British West Indies. If
such was the case, it was suggested
TO Lord Lansdowne that Great Britain
would only be within her rights in. re-
taliating with an increased duty on
grain. The foreign secretary gave
no intimation on this point, which ap-
parently was only suggested in the
hope that some of the members of the
cabinet who were reported to be
strongly in favor Of more protection
ist policy might use 1t as a handle
to forward their views.

OFFICE OF J. r. LASSITER.
HENDSONyILLE, S. c.. Sen

HENDsONVMLE, s. c., Sept. 2, 1896.
MR.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated a float,
ing saw mill on the Savannah River My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. [ employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
ber there was great loss of time and business,
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and l determined to give the
medicine trial. I procured it, and those who
were sick we're put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on [ used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. IASSITER.

London, Jan. 24.-It was learned
to day by a representative of the AS
sociated Press that Great Britain. Ger
many and Italy have agreed that Mr..
BoWen's proposal that a blockade of

not be entertained, and that coercive
action must continue until a proper

offices hold that any other course
would entail failure of the attempts

Regarding the position of the other
claimants against Venezuela the block.
aiding powers contend that their
claims must be satisfactorily settled
before the demands of countries who
are not actively asserting them can

GERMANY FEELS INDIGNANT.
Foreign Office Official on American
Press Comments,

Press Comments.
Berlin, Jan. 24.-The foreign Office
representatives today in conversation
with the correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press referred in aggrieved tones
to the American press comments I'D.
on the bombardment of Fort San Car
los. One official said:
In view of Commodore Scheder's
report Germany. has just right to feel
indignant at the fact that a portion Of
the American press is aroused over
the false statements of what occurred
at San Carlos without awaiting the
1acts IN the case, and thereupon at
tacking a friendly power The Pan
thef,s action, the official report shows
was strictly within the limits of in
ternational law. She was proceeding
past the fort to enter the lagoon Of
Maracaibo in order to prevent the i'm
portatlon of contraband articles from
Colombia and she was fired upon. The
Panther, OF course, answered the fire
as she was entitled to do. The at
tack was not made by us, but bv the
Venezuelan forts. We are quite unable
10 see why any neutral power should
express disapproyal because the Pan
ther replied, or because our vessel af-
terWard leyeled the forts, since it was
/, a hlndrance to an effective blockade.
1he assumption that we want to pre-
vent a>settlement of the matter with
washington and the speedy raising of
the blockade is wholly mistaken.
We want the blockade to be raised
just as soon as the powers have ade-
quate guarantees in hand that their
claims VIII be met. We do not even
ask for the immediate payment of
money, but only for guarantees. We
cannot raise the blockade empty hand
ed without any form of guaranfeon
