| lLAND NAY BE BRITISH.
B0rReo Coast Islands Possibly Occn-
pied Through Mistake.

London, July 1T.-Accordins to authoritative
dispatches received here. an American warship
visited a number of the islands on the north
east coast Of Borneo some weeks ago and
holsted American flags and erected Ameri-
can tablets on seven of the islands all Of which
are said to be British. They are Baguan Taga-
nae, Bakkungaan. Lihiman. Boaam. Sibaung
and Lankayan, all within a few miles of each
other and spread over an area OF forty miles
Taganac and Boaam, both of which command
the harhor of Sandakan (the capital of British
North Borneo). are the largest. Each is about
a mile long. They all uninhabited but are
shown the Admiralty charts.
The affair is regarded here as being capable
of easy adjustment. being, it is asserted, with
out doubt the result of a misunderstanding on
the part Of the commander of the American
man-of-war. The action is not considered to be
in any way an act Of aggression on the part of
the United States authorities. whose warships
often visit Sandakan.

Women and Children on Steamers
Under american Protection.

Soledad Venezuela, July 17.-Notwithstand-
ing the arinistice ended at u O'Clock last
night, no engagement between the government
forces and the rebels has taken place up to the
present hour. General Gomez has completed
the investment of Ciudqd Bolivar. and one
can now leave the city.
Lieutenant Commander Culver. commanding
the United States gunboat Bancroft. after a
long conference with the commanding officer of
the Venezuelan squadron decided to take under
his protection all the river steamers belonging
to the American Orinoco Steamship Company,
which were recently seized by the revolutionists
at Ciudad Bolivar. He also requested the
women and children of the American and other
foreign colonies in the city to take refuge on
the steamers in order to escape the dangers of
the siege. In accordance with Lieutenant Com
mander Culver's invitation many women and
children, a number of whom were of German
nationality, embarked early to-day the Amer
lean steamers, which, flying the American flag
and escorted by the Bancroft started in the
direction of San Felix, probably on the way 10

current running in the OrinocO River, the re-
suit of heavy rains. prevents direct communi-
cation between Soledad and Ciudad Bolivar.
The revolutionists have also destroyed the
means Of transport between the two towns.

until the unions set through their quarrel.
If the company turns the work over to one
union, the others probably will call out the
workmen on all the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
improvements in the borough.
When the tube sections of the boilers arrived,
riggers were set to work to unload them. The
steamhtters objected, saying that the work was
theirs, as well that of putting the oollers TO-
gether. Then the delegates of the iron work
ers' union declared that the work belonged TO
them. at present the three unions are claiming
the work. If any one gets it the other unions
will declare a strike, and the building or the
additional trolley loops at the Manhattan en-
trance to the bridge may be held up.

place was said to have been selected on account
of the depth of the water and the sheltered
