VENEZUELA SHARP MOVE
Additional Duty Of Thirty Per Cent.
Placed Upon All Imports as
a War Measure,
THIS COVERS AMOUNT OF INDEMNITY.
Decree Issued By Minister Of Foreign
Affairs Instead of By President
. Castro-Places Burden Of Paying
Indemnity Upon Foreign Mer-
chants Who Handle Import Trade.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The following
department Wednesday from Mr.. Rus
sell, who is in charge of the United
States legation at Caracas during the
absence of Minister Bowen:
Minister foreign affairs Venezuela
has decreed 30 per cent. increase duties
On all imports as war measure"
just why this decree was issued by
the minister of foreign affairs, instead
of President Castro in the ordinary
course, puzzles the officials here. The
action recorded in the cablegram,
however, is regarded as a keen stroke
OF political finesse, for practically it
amounts to placing the indemnity
which Venezuela is to pay the powers
wholly upon the shoulder of the for
eign merchants who conduct all of
Venezuela's import trade.
Theincrease mentioned-3O per cent
is the same figure as the percentage
of custom dues at La Guayra and Por-
to Cabello to be assigned to the claim
ant nations.
Given Free Hand.
Paris, Feb. 19.-Foreign Minister
Delcasse has given Ambassador JUS
serand at Washington practically
free hand in the conclusion of the
Franco-Venezuelan protocol. The am
bassador's reports show that the
terms of the protocol are similar to
those of the United States, 80 per cent.
of the customs receipts of Puerto Ca
bello and La Guayra being reserved,
pending arbitra ton of the claims.
Queen Wilhelmina will designate an
umpire in case of a disagreement be-
tween the arbitrators.
The authorities here express salts
faction at the outcome of the negotia-
tons.

SALOONKEEPERS FACE JAIL.
Supreme Court Decision UphOlds
Fight the Illegal Joints
at Bangor, Me.

Bangor, Me-, Feb. 19.-The worst
fears of the saloonmen were realized
in the supreme court here when, at the
conclusion of the term, Justice Spar
announced that hereafter all persons
convicted Of violation of the liquor law
may expect, in addition to fine, Jail
sentence. Saloonmen must now choose
between abandonment of a profitable
business OR Jail. There is no longer any
doubt that enforcement of the most
radical kind has come to Bangor, for Is
years a wide-open town.
At the closing session of court the
sum Of $10,615 was paid in fines, max
ing total for the term of $2s.0s2, or
twice as much as ever before collected
at single term. There are in Penob-
scot county 234 persons paying the
United States tax as liquor dealers,
and all we're indicted at this term.
About 100 have filed demurrers thus
deferring settlement until August.
The other 1874 have paid the fines. The
saloons are still open.

Sensational Miles, One the Fastest Re-

The Empire track was in good order yester-
day. which was TO many a great surprise.
after the downpour of rain on Monday. The
soil IL wonderfully elastic and porous and
the facts seem to bear out the statement
of the managers that it can be used more
quickly after thorough wetting than other
track in the country. The harrows were
kept busy all the morning. and by noon the
course was SO good that the visitors saw II q
most sensational miles of the season and the
fastest mile reported anywhere by horses

PoRT WAsHlNGToN. N, Y. June s0.-The
second race OF the series for the Manhanset

Point. thence north northwest three and
half miles around the red buoy OF Scotch
Caps: thence two and three-quarter miles
to the starting line, q total distance OF nine
and hve-elghths miles. This course was
covered twice. The weather conditions were
IN marked contrast to yesterdays, there
being fairly steady fresh southwest breeze
and but little sea on. Toward the end OF
the second round, the wind dropped per-
ceptibly and the boats made slow time on
the beat back to the finish.
IL was a broad reach TO the first mark. and
the boats broke out their ballooners, going
over the line with Mimosq leading and cross
ing at the leeward end Of the line, The breeze
strength and some of the boats had all they
could stagger under. The bonts finished
the first re Ind in the following order Alert.
Oiseau, Mmosa. Flosshilde, Enpronzi, Marion.
Bobtail and Ragherra. Alert increased her
lead considerably on the first two legs OF
the second round. On the windward leg
home to the finish. Alert, Bagherra. Marion
and Enpronzi stood over to the Long Island
shore and made Il big gain there, as the other
four boats were nearly becalmed. Although
the Alert crossed the line one minute and
one second ahead OF the Marion. the latter
boat gets the race easily Start 2:lO o'clock
