CASTRO NEEDS A NAVY.
Because He Has no Ships RevoIu-
tiOnfsts Get Advantage.

Washington, Feb. 21.-It is a matter
of comment in official circles here that,
perhaps without intending it, the Ger
mans are aiding the Venezuelan rev.
olutionists in refusing to return at
once President Castros ships. Word
has been received here that the Ger
man commander has informed the
Venezuelan government that the ships
will be turned over to them at Port
of Spain, Trinidad, on Monday after
neon.
In the protocols it was provided that
all ships should be returned" and it
was the intention of the allies repre-
sentatives here that the transfer Of
the vessels should occur in Venezuelan
waters, where they were captured.
The Interpretation which the Germans
have put upon this article is regarded
here as somewhat petty, but it will not
be noticed officially. Instead, the State
Department will place the Marietta at
the disposal of President Castro to
carry officers and men to Trinidad with
which to man his vessels.
Meantime the revolutionists are i'm
porting large supplies of arms and
ammunition into Coro and other I'M
guarded ports. President Castro has no
navy to prevent this and is therefore
becoming FESTIVE at Germany's con-
duct.

HUMBERTS THE WCT0RS
IN ONE CASE.
Main Trial Touching the Crawford
Millions Yet to he Held.

Main Trial Touching the Crawford
Millions Yet to he Held.
Paris, Feb. 21.-The sHumberts scored
their first notable success to-day when
the Ninth Correctional Chamber an
nounced their acquittal in the libel suit
brought against them by M. Cattaui,
the banker. Public interest in the re-
suit was very great and the court room
was surrounded by an eager crowd.
The costs of the prosecution were as
sessed against M. Cattaui.
The court delivered a lengthy judg-
ment, the main point of which was
that the evidence failed to show bad
faith on the part of the Humberts in
charging M. Cattaui with usury.
The judgment specifically acquits
Frederic Humbert, Nine. Humbert and
Marie d'Aurignac, her sister, who were
the chief persons accused.
When the acquittal was announced,
Nine. Humbert exclaimed: "At last
the voice of justice is heard"
The result of the trial was fully ex-
pected, and although it marks a tenn
porary triumph for the Humberts, it is
not considered to affect the main case,
which involves the authenticity of the
Crawford millions.
Public opinion seems to applaud the
verdict, as the plaintiff NJ. Cattaui, is
considered a type of the money-lender.

VERDICT FOR $4,000
AGAINST THE CENTRAL
Robert F. SprOuI Gets Big Award
For Personal Injuries.

Rome, Ga, Feb. 21.-A verdict for
100000 against the Central of Georgia
Railway was secured to-day by Rob-
ert f. Sproul, nephew of Maj. and
Mrs. r. T. F'ouche of Rome In No
vember, 1901, while at work as fire
man on an engine at Chickamauga,
Mr. Sproul was run over and both
legs were cut off. At the time of the ac-
cident, he was standing on the pilot,
sparkling" the engine, which consists
in removing a cap and letting out the
cinders which have accumulated. The
engineer sent the engine forward,
which threw Mr.. Sproul off.
The young man, who is only 10
years old, has many friends in Rome,
and his misfortune was greatly de-
plored. He was totally disabled by
the accident. His guardian, Sproul
Fouche, brought suit against the rail-
road in Walker County Superior Court
for $4,000. The case was taken up
Thursday and was warmly contested.
The plaintiffs attorneys were Fouche
& Fouche and John w. Bale, and the
railroad was represented by Judge
Branham, f. w. Copeland, and w. j.
Nunnally. The jury had been out
only thirty-five minutes to-day, when
they came in and rendered the big YER

This is the largest verdict ever Sc
cured in this section, and one of the
largest for damages ever secured In

Raleigh, N. c., Feb. 21.-The greatest
social and criminal sensation Raleigh
has ever known developed at ago
o'clock this afternoon. when. on Fa-
yetteville street, Ernest Haywood shot
and killed Ludlow Skinner.
The prominence of both families is
marked. Haywood is a grandson of the
late State Treasurer John Haywood,
and son of the late DIR. f.. Burke Hay

lawyers. Skinner was a grandson of
the late Mr.. Ludlow Of New York, and
son Of Rev. DIR. Thomas e. Skinner.

lists in the South.
At least a hundred persons must
have seen the shooting. certainly that
number saw the victim of Haywood 8

face on the street car track i'm front
of the postoftlce and Marlborough
House and not forty yards from the
Court House.

Court House, where Magistrate Maroon
had preliminary hearing. taking only
Separks testimony, upon which III
committed Haywood to Jail, withou

NEGRO BURGLARS
HAD MUCH SILVER.
They Had Made a Rich Haul I'm Phil
adeIphia.

New York, Feb 21.--Nearly 800 pieces
of silverware, which were stolen recent
ly from one or more prominent farni-
lies of Philadelphia, were displayed at
police headquarters tonight, having
been found by detectives in the pos
session of two negro burglars, who are
under arrest. The silver bears the
monographs IL. G. H." u. c. b." &C.
II. b." and IL. II. b. and many Of
the pieces are engraved with the de-
vice of a spread eagle.
Last Monday the police authorities
here received a dispatch from the chief
of police of Philadelphia, asking that
a lookout be kept for thieves who had
stolen large quantity of silverware
from families in that city.
Yesterday detectives saw a negro en-
ter a pawnshop and try to get money
on some articles of silverware. corre-
spending to the description of the
stolen goods. They followed and ar
rested him and a companion. The pris-
oners gave the names of Robert Will
liams, q years old, and Arthur KIM
ball, % years old. Both described
themselves as walters. In the room of
the prisoners were found three dress
suit cases. filled with silver.

Won HALLE WELCOMES
UNITED STATES CONTROL

Berlin, Feb. 21.-Prof Ernst Won
Halle of Berlin University, discussing
the Panama canal, says >Germany's
interests will be better secured through
the present solution than if the canal
were built by France or by an inter-
national company. The professor re-
marked:
$50 far as Germany is concerned, it
is only desirable that the control of
the canal be in strong hands, and that
these be not those that have long been
making it their special task to bring
all the worlds commercial routes I'M
der their own control"
Prof. Won Halle is glad to see the
United States entering into COMPETE
ton with Great Britain in controlling
such routes and thus restoring the
equilibrium. He believes Mexico and
Central America will fall irrevocably
under the political dominance of the
United States through the canal, but
doubts whether the canal will pay the
interest on its capital.

CANAL OFFICIALS SILENT.
They Have Nothing to Say About the
Big Deal.

Paris, Feb. 21.-The officials of the
Panama Canal Company are maintain
ing a rigid reserve concerning their
plans. One of the chief officers said
that 1t was considered of the utmost
Importance, owing to the delicate stage
of the negotiations, not to throw any
thing into the discussion which might
unfavorably affect the result.
At the Company's headquarters great
activity has been shown since the re-
ceipt of the advices from Attorney
General Knox, accepting the company's
offer for the sale of its property, sub
ject to the ratification of the United
States Senate. Persons in a position
to know the course of the negotiations
do not consider the attitude of the
company antagonistic to a position of
the United States.
In American quarters having excep-
tional means of obtaining information
it is believed that recent developments
tend to confirm the reports of German
interest in the canal project. One Of
the leading officers of French finan-
cia1 institution recently made it known
to an American official that the private
German investments in Panama Sc
curities were assuming significant pro-
portions.
1t was distinctly stated in this con-
nection that the German government
is entirely unconnected with the move
ment, although the names of important
personages in the imperial government
are mentioned among those who have
become recent private investors. But
the view prevails among Americans
here that such a foreign movement
will be futile. as the oficials are
strongly confident that the present OBJ
stacles to the negotiations will be over.
