pinched. and the fresh beauty that was
her strong characteristic seemed to be
fading.

CASTRO PROHIBITS
TRADE WITH DUTCH
More Trouble Expected-American
Consul Johnson's Dispatches
Are Held Up.

President Castro. Of Venezuela. has
added another grievance TO the account
between him and the United states. In
the enforcement of his order cutting OF
all trade with the Dutch Island Of Gu
racao, and prohibiting the issuance OF
any clearance papers TO any vessels pro
posing to proceed from a Venezuan port
to that island. he is no respecter of per
sons.
In a dispatch received by the State
Department today from James W. John
son, the American -onsul at Puerto Ca
bellO, Venezuela, it is announced that
the steamer Merida, OF the Red I'D"
line, was in port there bound from San
Juan. Porto Rico, 70 Curacao, with
United States mail on board. She was
refused clearance papers for Curacao
and was delayed thirty-eight hours.
Consul Johnson had to mail his dispatch
10 Winemstad. the principal port Of
Curacao.
1t is possible that this interference
with Uncle Sans mail may be made an
other item against Castro when the
final reckoning comes.

await the action OF a special grand jury

Captain Helms and his brother, hand
cuffed together. and the former this
time in citizen clothes, were taken
from the Queens county jail today and
arraigned in the Long Island City po-
lice court for the postponed examination
on the charge Of numbering Annis
Warden Van Sise and Deputy Sheriff
.O'Brien were in charge Of the two pris-
oners Captain Hams was apparently
considerably less wrought up than when
he appeared in court last week, and his
brother was as cool as ever.
The fact that Captain Hams appeared
without his uniform today caused con
ciderable comment. His Itwyers ex-
planned. however, that in his previous
appearances at court he had worn his
uniform because his leave OF absence
had expired and he thought he would
hove to report at Fort Hancock today.
They persuaded him to leave his uni
form of.

It was learned today that all the mem
bers OF the Hams family have long
held ira ttional belief that the best
way to redress private wrongs was TO
take the law into their own hands. This
was vouched for by Government Off
cial who has long known both the Hams
brothers and their father
This official said that, in his opinion,
T. Jenkins Hams should long ago have
been placed under restraint and that

the brothers amounts to a blood mania

Hams case specially. He said he want
ed to clear up murder and felony cases

granted. according to dispatches from
Albany last night. for the same reason
that all requests Of this character are
granted. Governor Hughes said he

Cause of the Disaster.

The men had been employed in the
drift driving a heading to the surface.
The heavy rains and thaw of the last
few days had caused a great deal of
water to accumulate in the drift, and
the pressure became so heavy that it
finally gave way, and a sea OF mud
flowed into the gangway where the
men were at work. 1t filled tne gang
way for a distance of about $50 feet,
and il will be necessary to dig through
this barrier to get at the workmen
from this particular position. Three
different rescuing parties have been
put to work. 1t is hoped to be able
to get the men out by tomorrow.
