WORKING AN OLD sw1NDLE.
Americans Warned Again Of Span
ish Schemes to Fleece Unwary.


Clever swindlers, operating in various
cities and towns of Spain. are making
strenuous efforts to separate guileless but
grasping Americans from their money
again with a variation of the old dodge
that was for years worked threadbare
But the Post Office Department is
alarmed and seeks to warn the public as
widely as possible against the new fraud
The scheme consists in sending letters
to certain persons. who have previously
been selected by confederates. The foun-
dation of the plot varies somewhat. In
some instances the writer represents
himself as dying prisoner in a
military fortress. He has fortune
on deposit in the United States, but the
certificate of stock is concealed in a Sc
cret receptacle of his valise, which has
been seized by the court at Carthagena
and will be held until the prisoner or his
representative has satisfied the cost of
the trial. He claims distant relationship
with the addressee.
If the first letter bears fruit it is quickly
followed by others. in which the pris-
Oner's daughter plays a prominent part.
She is in Spain without protector A
proposal is made to send her. accompanied
by a priest, to the newly found relative
for protection II enough money is sent TO
release the valise containing the secret
receptacle and the certificate of deposit
If the relative will accept ne trust he is
to receive one-fourth Of the prisoners
entire fortune of about f120OO0. OF
course the relative never hears from
the swindlers after he has sent the money
requested.
Under the Spanish laws a felony must
be consummated before the police may
act, and a mere attempt to obtain money
by false pretenses does not appear to
warrant arrest. The money must be
actually paid over. and the prosecuting
witness must be present in person to tes-
tify. otherwise prosecution would be USE
less.

Acts Considered Unfriendly.

Recently my attention has been again
called to new complaints, apparently well
founded. concerning the arbitrary and il
licit operations of Venezuelan function
aries, for example: The seizure on the
high seas Of ships flying the Netherlands
flag by Venezuelan vessels and 1 have
been informed by cable Of acts of your
chief of state toward the representatives
of the Netherlands government unfriend-
ly to the highest degree
The note goes on to say that after the
renewal of friendly relations is establish
ed. 1.-The celebration of a definite treaty
of arbitration and consular and COM
mercial convention which will be the
surest means of arriving at the desired
end. shall be submitted to subsequent
consideration. But the government Of
Venezuela. must from this moment and
without delay show it knows how to ap-
preciate in its real value the mainte-
nance of the protocols seriously cele-
brated in 1894, and which form the basis
of our relations, as we'll as the obliga tons
incurred by the Netherlands and faith
fully lived up to. and that 1t does not
wish to compromise it's existence by pro-
longing the intolerabre state of affairs
which 1t has created by the decree of
May IA"
President Castro was away at Valencia
when this note was presented by Baron
Won Seckendorff. the German minister.
and he told DIR. Paul. his foreign minis
ter, 10 Acknowledge ana await Iue
second note from Holland. which it was
known was soon to arrive. This second
note came last week, but because of Gen.
Castro's illness it has not as yet been
answered. although it is generally under
stood here that Venezuela will not give
in to any of Hollands demands
Castro Not Expected to Yield.
Venezuela will take the stand that I'M
til satisfactory apology and indemniza-.
ton is forthcoming from the Netherlands
government for the insulting letter of the
late Minister de Reus and the stoning of
the Venezuelan consul by the Curacao
mob, Holland has no right at all to make
any demands of this country, especially
in the nature of those made in the
Dutch note. which interfere with the right
enjoyed by free nations to make their
own commercial laws. 1t is very gener-
ally admitted in Caracas that if the
Venezuelan government wishes to have
the transshipment of merchandise for
Maracaibo done in Venezuelan ports that
it has a perfect right to do so, al
though Curacao may be sufferer
thereby.
Although the Netherlands note asks for
the immediate revocation" of the trans
shipment decree il has been reported that
the second note fixes the date or No
vember 1 as the time when this must be
done. thus giving the note the nature of
an ultimatum. Nobody who knows Gen.
Castro believes that this demand will have
any other effect than still further to in
cense VeneZuela's executive against Cura-
Gao. and nobody would be at all sur
prised If his answer was more vigorous
and determined than the Netherlands gov
eminent expects or will like.
That Venezuela is being prepared to re-
siSt invasion and that the many big coast
defense guns have been made ready for
an emergency is common knowledge down
here.
