WASHINGTON April 16.-The at tention of the officials of the depart rnent. of justice was called to the pulp lished dispatch from San Juan, Porto Rico, to the effect that the United States attorney there had declined to prosecute criminally 8 number of army and navy officers for alleged snug gling, explaining his action by the statement that he was acting under in- structfons from Washington.

 New Orleans, April 16.-"Long John" Ganzel demonstrated his ability to run bases here yesterday. It was in the sixth inning that Ganzle reached first on a single. He stole second, went to third on a bad throw to catch him nap ping at the middle station, drew throw to the plate, and taking a long chance beat the ball by a ten-foot slide. The game was easier for the Highlanders than the score shows the Pelicans being shut out by clean, 1ast tielding. Williams made the only error for his side, but he redeemed himselI by doubling up Montgomery and pan nehower with the assiStance or Ganzei. Howell started in the box for the New Yorks and pitched great ball. He was hit safely only once, and strucK out six men. Wolfe succeeded him and al lowed only two hits. Big Jack OCon- nor caught in the highest style of the backstop's art, and only one man stole second on him. He also pulled down two difficult foul flies up against the grand stand. A high wind blew all through the game, which made the Judging of tall ones tough proposi- ton. Conroy played great game at third. Davis scored the first run Tor the Highlanders on his own hit, steal and WilHams's safe smash. Blanks were drawn until the fourth, when Williams singled, went to second on Cancels out to right field, and scored on Conroy's safety over the second bag.

GOOD FAILURE RECORD.
south Does Not show Up as Well as
other Sections.


New York, Dec. 31.-In spite Of some
crop shortages, added to record-break-
ing strikes and reduced foreign trade,
Bradstreet's Jan. 3, will report that
the failure record for the past year is
on the whole a favorable one. In only
one section, the South, was there an
increase of casualties over the record
of 1901, and in only two, the South
and Central West. was there an in
crease of liabilities.
During the year there were reported
99n commercial failures, with liabili-
ties of $l05, $685. 1923 and assets of $780,
$4,000, a decrease in number of fail
ures or 5.b and Z per cent are shown,
but comparisons with prior years are
markedly in favor of 1902 In liabili-
ties an even better showing is made,
those for 1902 being the smallest re-
ported for twenty years. While the
proportion of assets to liabilities was
AZ per cent. in 1902, as against 1863 in
1901 and 47.2 in 1900, it is lower than
in any preceding year since 1885.
With two exceptions. the number of
failures was the smallest in fourteen
years, despite the fact that the num-
Der of concers in business is growing
steadily, the increase since 1892 ag-
gregating 10 per cent. The annual

THAT'S THE WAY TO TALK,

She CIapped Castro on the Back as
She Said it.


Berlin, Dec. 31.-The German govern
ments reservation in agreeing to sub
init the Venezuelan claims to arbi-
tration continue to be undisciosed in
their entirety. From statements ap-
pearing to-day, however, it seems to
be confirmed that Germany excludes
from the claims which are subject to
arbitration damages amounting to
$sfQ, pfoE,seizure of property and out
RACES on the persons of German SUBJ
jects under circumstances which are
here deemed so clear that it is useless
to call in arbitrators
The payment of this sum will not
be demanded in cash at present, but
a sufficient guarantee will be insisted
upon. Great Britain's preferred
claims are equivalent in amount, $780,
600. Germany valves an apology for
what are here called diplomatic in
suits" asking only material repara-
ton.
The Lokal Anzeiger, the only Ger

The league will be organized in the

porated so as to command the conf
dence of employers and the general
public and be in a position to defend
the rights of its members through the
courts. Only American citizens will
be eligible to membership.
THE specific objects for which the
Independent Workmen propose to or
ganize are as follows:
Il. To protect independent workmen
in their independence.
20. To sustain high wages by skill
full, energetic cooperation with our
employers.
"3. To establish reasonable hours OF
labor according to the exigencies of
the trades.

washington, Dec. 31.-The answer of
President Castro to the proposals of
the allies TO submit to the arbitration
Of The Hague tribunal the Venezuelan
ANTIQUITIES has reached Washington
through Minister Bowen.
The answer amounts to a general ac-
ceptance of the principles of the pro-

The details of the answer will not be
published here in advance of its recep-

that it really belongs to those Powers
To-day the answer is being prepared
at the State Department for trans

and undoubtedly will require careful
consideration by the foreign officers at
London, Berlin and Rome, it is not
expected that any further steps toward
a final settlement can be taken for
a day or two. The feeling here, how
ever based on a knowledge of Castro's
position. is that his answer practically
clears the way for the submission of
the case to arbitration.

KILLED THE SECOND MATE.
First Mate of American Ship in Jail
in Jamaica.

Kingston, Jamaica, Dec. 91.-Con-
siderable excitement prevails at Savan-
ma la Mar. on the southwest coast of
this island, caused by the shooting there
yesterday of the jamaican negro second
mate of the American brig Sunlight
by the first officer of that vessel, H
G. Gardner of Maine.
According to the details which have
reached here trouble arose on board
the Sunlight over the color question,
and the crew left her and refused to
return. During the disturbance it
appears Gardner fired at the second
mate and probably fatally wounded
him.
A strong force of police was sent on
board the brig to arrest Gardner and
it was with difficult that he was over
powered and taken to Jail. The police
were compelled to guard the building in
order to prevent native mobs from ar
lacking it. The Sunlight was loading
logwood for Boston.
