Threatened Attack.

The Hague, Aug. 17-It was officially
announced here today that part of the
Colonial reserve troops would leave Sat
urday for Curacao to strengthen the
Dutch force which the government may
send against Venezuela. Convinced that
the United States will not interfere If the
Netherlands altenps a demonstrst ton
sgainst Castro, the government has de-
tsrmined 10 meet out punishment to
Venezuela and it is likely punishment
will be an attack both by land and sea
If Castro does not make amends. The
war spirit in the Netherlands Ia running
high, though the Opponents Of war con-
fi1eutly hope for peace.

The Hains Case POSTPONED,

New York, Aug. l7.-Psle but with
out other outward evidence of excitement,
Captain Peter O. Hams and his brother,
I. jenkins, this moroiug faced Magis-
trste Giroy 10 the Long Island City
police court, charged with the murder of
William E. AnDis, at Flushing, Satur-
day afternoon.
Contrary ID expectation the hearing
begun with formal questions on the part
Of the magistrate and was out short after
a whispered consultation between Dis
trict Attorney Dtrrin, and w. E Percy,
the lawyer for the Hams family. The
result of the conference was then reported
to the magistrate who adjourned the case
until one week from today. Though
neither the prisoners, their aged father,
General P. G. Hahn, nor Lawyer Percy
would consent to al interview, it was
learned upon absoluts authority that the
"unwritten law" will again be invoked.
No chance is to be given to Mrs. Hams
ID deny the alleged confession in detail;
she herself declared that she does not
exactly remember the contents Of the
document. The Hams brothers we're
brought 10 court handcufed, but released
as they entered the court room.
Sheriff Harvey, who holds the brothers
in custody, says that neither seems to be
worried over the outcome of their case.
Extra precautions are being taken by
General Hams at Fort Hancock to pre-
vent his sous discarded wife from kid
mapping her three children from their
grAhdmother's care. One attempt was
foiled yesterday and 1t is feared others
will be made.
Just prior to the arraigument OF the
Hams rothers today District Attorney
Darrin declared that he would ask in
dictments for murder against both men,

Mrs. Hams.

Winthrop, Mass, Aug. 1.-THE
discarded wife of Captain Peter O. Hams,
whose alleged confession, he says, drove
him to kill William f. Annis Saturday
afternoon at the Bay side Yacht Club,
will be one of the most important wit
nesses of the prosecution when her hus'
band and brother-in-law come to trial.
The young wife is expected to return
home today after being repulsed in her
efforts to get possession of her three
children, for whom she made q hasty
trip to New York as soon as she learned
of the tragedy. The only statement thus
fsr obtlined from Mrs. Hams was the
bitter interview she gave out Saturday
night when she declared her belief that
both the Hams had made q terrible
mistake and that she hoped they would
swing for it. Charles n. Libbey, her
father, is lawyer, and he is busy today
gathering evidence to disprove Hains's
charges,
