Port Of Spain, Trinidad, Aug. TO-
Authentic information was received
Tuesday announcing the Imprisonment
of French, German and Italian mer-
chants at Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela,
(Which port was recently r%ecaptured
from the rebels by President Castro's
troops) for refusing President Cas-
tro's demand for the repayment of
taxes, already paid to the de facto
government. President Castro de-
mands the payment Of arrears for the
period of occupation of Ciudad Bolivar
by the revolutionary government. The
amount demanded exceeds $65, 900.
The merchants refused to recognize
President Castro's decree abolishing
Ciudad Bolivar as a port of entry and
declined to ship goods via Carupano.
The Venezuelan gunboat Miranda
went to the district of Nutrias, exact
ing from the merchants forced contri-
buttons and fines amounting to another
$50, 600. The goods imported during
the revolutionary regime We're con-
fscated and double duties were i'm
posed. 1t is reported that President
Castro has threatened to annihilate
the m and eNpel the foreign
community Of Guayana, on the
OrinOcO.
A reign Of terror prevails throughout
the district owing to the eXtortion,
threats and barbaritics of the party in
power. The entire region of the Ori-
noco teens with produce accumulated
during the past W. years for which
there are no adequate shipping facili-
ties. The native and German firms at
Caracas appear to be seeking to con-
troll the entire Orinoco import trade.
There is nc money in the Orinoco
country and the distress is very great.
All the American river boats and in
terests up the Orinoco are at a stand
still, being unable to move in conse-
quence of President Castro's deter
mination to destroy the trans-ship-
ment trade in American and European
goods between Trinidad and the ORR
noco river country. &

K|DNAP A White GIRL
PARTY OF EIGHT NEGROES KILLS
ONE OF THE POSSE THAT
RESCUED HER.
BLOODY FIGHT ANTICIPATED
BLACKS ARE FORTIFIED ON AN
ISLAND AND POSSES WILL
ATTACK THEM.

Fort Smith, Ark, Aug. 19:-The kid
mapping of a young white girl and the
killing of one of a posse that tried to
rescue her are the crimes charged
against a party of eight negroes who
are now fortified on Bruce's Island,
sixteen miles west of this city. 1t is
feared their capture will lead to a
bloody encounter. The negroes are
said to be we'll armed.
A few days ago two farmers, living
near Wilson's Rock, landed on Bruce's
Island in search Of plums and accident
ally ran into a camp in which there
were two negro men and a white girl
about twelve years old. They made
some inquiries about the girl and the
negroes said she was the daughter Of
a white man who was travelling with
them and who had gone to Fort Smith
for provisions. The negroes would
not let the girl take part in the con-
%yersation and this aroused suspicion.
A watch was kept on the negroes for
two days, but no white man appeared.
Monday afternoon a party of farmers
decided to investigate the ase and as
they neared the island were fired on
by the negroes, and one of the party,
Roland by name, was killed. A sharp
fight was kept up for some time, DUR
ing which the girl escaped from the
negroes and ran to the white men.
She was so excited that she could not
give any intelligent account of her.
self. She said, however, that her faith
er was not travelling with the ne
groes, but that she had been stolen
from her home near Fort Gibson, 1.
T. She has been taken to Muldrew.
Roland, the dead man. was a COM
parative stranger at Wilson's Rock.
Bruce's Island is in the center Of
the Arkansas river, contains about
twenty-five acres and is densely GOV
cred with timber and thick under
brush. "9,:'rnsl-2sT II ri, IT.
Posses of citizens have left for the
scene of the trouble from Fort Smith,
Epiro, Muldrew and Fort Gibson.
There is much excitement around the
island. One or two of the negroes are
known to be desperate characters.
