SEA CAPTAIN is SUSPENDED
He Loses His Place on IA Charge OF
Violating the Neutrality
Laws.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The Herald says
that under charges based on a violation
of the neutrality laws and with the alleged
responsibility OF having given information
to the blockading force, which led to the
capture Of the Venezuelan suGboat Miranda
at Maracaibo on December 20. Captain
Terrill Of the steamship Zulia of the Red
d line has been suspended from duty.
1t is alleged that Captain Terrill had ar
ranged with the officers OF a German war
ship blockading Maracaibo that IL when
passing out of the harbor during the day
time the Zulia displayed its ensign twice
It was understood this would be a signal
to the ships blockading the port that a
Venezuelan gunboat was inside. Should
Zulia pass out after shutdown 1t was agreed
that the stern light was to be dropped
twice.
Zulia remained at Maracalbo from De-
cember II until December 20. when II
steamed out, reaching the blockade line
shortly after shutdown.
The German gunboat Panther was about
abreast OF Zulia when Captain Terrill, 1t Is
alleged, called his second officer, John
Crasso. and instructed him to order the
ship porter to lower the stern light twice
Captain Terrill declares the assertion that
he signaIed the German war ship is false.

who took as much interest in the play as

On the other hand, the c,itic OF the
Telegraph, who had. very likely, dined more
satisfactorily than Mr.. Hunneker, writes as
follows:
Here is Fitch's dramatic summit, but he

poets something from every scene ard
