several more notes Of the same denomina-
tion.

A NEW COUNTERFEIT.
It is So Silver Certificate, Series of
1899.

The secret service gives notice of a new
counterfeit 81 silver certificate. It is OF
the series of 1899, check letter &C. face
plate No. IT. back plate No. 40. portrait
Of Washington.
This counterfeit seems to have been
printed from photoetched plates on TWO
pieces Of stiff paper, between which silk
threads have been distributed. The color
of the SEAL treasury number and large
numeral closely approximates that of the
genuine. The number of the note before
me is 39527571. The lathe work is fair, but
the portrait of Washington and the allie
gorical figures of the face design are very
poor. On the back Of the note the small
lettering which in the genuine reads as
follows:
This certificate is receivable for GUS
toms, taxes and all public dues, and when
SO received may be reissued."
On the counterfeit appears as follows:
This certifeicate is receiyable for Gus
toms. taxes and all purlic dues and WIDEN
SO deceived mai be reissued."
The thickness of the paper should imme-
diately attract attention to this counterfeit.

REFLECTED ON BOWEN
Statement Made in British
Blue Book
BY MINISTER HAGGARD
REGARDING DETENTION OF SHIP
BY VENEZUELA.
Subject of Representation to the
English Foreign Office by
Secretary Hay.
Y MINISTER HAGGARD

LONDON, March 24.-Gibson Bowles (con-
servative) drew attention In the house or
commons today to the reflection OF Mr..
Haggard, the former British minister at
Caracas on Mr.. Russell, the secretary OF
the United States legation at the VeneZue-
Ian capital, in the Venezuelan blue book,
recently published, and asked Premier Bal
four IL his majesty's government had been
called upon to make amends to the govern
ment of the United States therefor. The
premier acknowledged that Secretary Hay
had called the governments attention to the
passage referred to.
Mr. Balfour added:
"Sir Michael Herbert has informed the
Secretary of State that the passage escaped
his attention, otherwise 1t would never
have been published. / need say no more
than that an error of this kind, however re-
grettable, may occur in any department, es-
pecially when undergoing an exceptional
strain
The Remarks In Question.
The blue book referred to was published
February 16. 1t contained an official letter
from the former British minister at Caracas
W. H. D. Haggard, to the foreign secre-
tary, Lord Landsdowne, dated Trinidad, De-
cember 80 concerning the alleged Illegal de-
by the Venezuelan government in an un-
healthy place from May to November, 1902,
whereby the crew were decimated by dysen-
terry. Mr.. Haggard said in this letter:
81 regret to say that it would appear that
! placed too much faith in the complete ac-
curacy of the statements Of the secretary Of
the United States legation, w. w. Russell,
as to the improvement in the condition Of
the Harry Troop, etc, when he saw her.
These statements may probably be account
ed for by the facts, which appear undoubt-
ed, that Mr.. Bowen was most anxious, for
reasons best known to himself, to represent
the conduct of the Venezuelan authorities
in the most favorable light possible, and
that he had inspired his subordinates in the
same direction. To put it briefly, Mr.. Rus
sell did not dare to say a word outside the
legation contrary to President Castro's
mode of proceeding"
