MERCHANTS IMPRISONED.
Refused to Pay Taxes Demanded By
Castro.

Castro.
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad. Aug. 10.
Authentic information has been re-
ceived announcing the imprisonment of
French, German and Italian merchants
at Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela (Which
port was recently recaptured from the
rebels by President Castro's troops,
for refusing President Castro's demand
for the repayment of taxes already
paid to the de facto government. 4'resi-
dent Castro demands the payment of
arrears for the period of occupation of
Ciudad Bolivar by the revolutionary
government. The amount demanded
exceeds 5000. The merchants re
fused to recognize President Castro'S
decree a|bolishing Ciudad Bolivar as Il
port of entry and declined to ship
goods via Carupano.
The Venezuelan gunboat Miranda
went to the district of NutriaS, exact

buttons and fines amounting to another
$50 600. The goods imported during
the revolutionary regime were cOntis-

1t is reported that President Castro
has threatened to annihilate the com
merce and eXpel the foreign commu-

A reign of terror prevails throughout
the district owing to the eXtortion,
threats and barbarities of the party in
power. The entire region of the Grin

there are no adequate shipping facili-
ties. The native and German firms 1T

There is no money in the Orin0cO coun
try, and the distress is very great. All
the American river boats and interests
up the OrinOco are at Il StandStill, be-
ing unable to move in consequence of
President Castro's determination to de-
stroy the transshipment trade in
America and European goods between

While Eugene Cuny, of Main street,

Florence, yesterday afternoo he
noticed a naptha launch was going
up the bav, apparently drifting along
with the tide with no one in her. He

that her name was Rayo. Making
her fast he triad 10 sail back to

at the dock of H. E. Ellis, foot of

he lived at North Shore, soon came
along and when he was told of how
the boat was drifting and was picked

PANAMA CANAL.
Colombian Senate's Veto Was Net
Final.

DHan Sen3teS tetO was Net
Final.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The i'm
portant information has been given
out at the Colombian legation that in
the cable dispatch received in regard
to the Colombian senate's action on the
canal treaty there was a statement at
the end of the dispatch to the effect
that another proposition" was under
consideration"
This is taken to mean, as interpreted
in the light of previous dispatches to
DR.. Herran. that the Colombian con-
gress will adopt a resolution authoriz-
ing President Marroquin to negotiate
a treaty with the United States along
certain lines, and, when a complete
agreement has been reached between
Colombia and the United States, to eX-
change notifications without again sub
hitting the treaty to the Colombian
Acongress. When such a resolution has
kbeen passed by the congress that body
will adjourn and the matter will have
reached a stage where there can be no
doubt of a successful cOnclu-
sion of the whole matter.

Destroyer F1otiIla at New London.

NEW LONDON, Conn, Aug. 49,
The torpedo boat destroyer notilIa is
at the New London coaling station for
coal. There was much speculation as
to the whereabout of the torpedo boat
destroyers Barry and Decatur, which
were in collision just after the naval
review at Oyster Bay and which had
been ordered to the Brooklyn navy
yard for repairs. That the two boats
are lying to somewhere up the sound
was evidenced by the fact hat moth
ing had been seen of them by craft
passing up and down. The commander
of a yacht that reached Oyster Bay
stated that no sign of the torpedo boats
had been seen on the way up. Seafar-
ing men agreed it is improbable that
the captains of the boats would try to
enter He'll Gate during the night with
their ships in Il disabled condition.

The scene as the troops, both regu-
lars and state, passed along the gayly
decorated streets, with banners flying
and bands playing, was one which will
long be remembered by those who saw
them.
The first division was composed of
attachments of United States troops,
sailors and marines. including the Sev'
enth infantry, three battalions of field
artillery and the First and Second bat.

The second division, which made q
fine showing and met with a hearty re-

as special escort to a body of former
Union prisoners of war.
Seldom has a finer parade been wit
messed in San Francisco. The veterans

represented. The Order of Red Men
