AMERICANS ARE HELD
Declares That Crew of whaling shin

Although Believed to
BE Dead.

Kingstown. ST. Vincent, British West
Indies, May SIT may be that Capt.
Collin Stephenson and the crew OF the
American whaling ship Carrie ID.
Knowles, long since thought to have
been lost at sea. are still alive in
Venezuelan prison.
An American seaman who gives the
name OF Payne, an escaped prisoner
from Venezuela, has made his way TO
Kingstown. where he laid before the
authorities an astounding story Of the
seizure OF the Carrie d. Knowles at q
Venezuelan port where she arrived five
years ago in distress and the incarcey-
alton by the Venezuelans OF the cap
tain and his men.
So convinced are the authorities here
that there is truth in Payne's story
that they have already taken steps
looking to speedy and thorough In
vestigation Of the case.
On January 81, 1904. the Carrie d.
Knowles sailed from Provincetown,
tain was Collin Stephenson and her
first mate II. A. Marlin. In addition
she carried a crew. of about a dozen
men. These are the names as given to
the authorities here and as far as he
could remember. the names OF the men,
bers Of the crew are wallace. Warner,
Robertson, HAZEL. Sam Davis. Pierre,
Grant, Lewis ana JOnns
Payne asserts positively that all OF
these men are at the present time con-
fined In a Venezuelan prison.
The vessel was supposed to have been
lost in a West Indian storm with all
hands Some Of the crew belonged In
ST. Vincent and after all hope was
given up of their return their relatives
put on mourning and the local insur-
ance companies eventually paid the
Ina ~ the V1ffNFt
that the sailors were dead.
rne story Payps TOLD TO the police
Today caused great excitement, not
only because OF the seriousness OF the
charges against the Venezuelan author
tiles, but Ssc.tuNe It added another to
the many tales which have reached St.
Vincent concerhing the high handed
methods adopted by the VenezueIans
uGder the administration OF Castro.
Pa~n0 declared SkS whaler had been
disa bled in q storm on the Venezuelan
coast and had made port in distress.
This was Ave years ago, but the exact
date he could not remember She was
al once seized and the captain and
crew thrown into jail. He states that
all the men are alive nut are stiLl
closely confined.
The details of Payne's escape from
prison are not known, as the police
have him in charge and will detain
bIr, until the invest cation of the au-
thorjties establishes the truth or fall

are concerned with the Dingley law.
Senator culberson figured the. de-
creases to be 3ss, the increases Sls,
and the number Of articles on which
the duties are unchanged to be l,27i.
Mr.. Aidrich made the reductions 379.
but furnished no figures as to the num-
Der Of increases made He expressed
surprise at the number Of increases
announced by Mr.. Culberson and de-
clared that the statement must have
been prepared by a very wonderful
man.
Mr.. culberson retortsd that they
were prepared by an expert from the
treasury department, who Is thorough
ly competent.
The principal schedules on which
there have been increases, according
to Mr.. Aldrich's summary Of the higher
duties Of the senate bill, are agricul-
tural products and the various luxur-
les.
Mr.. Aldrich contended that the In
creases in the chemical schedule which
are largely on toilet preparations were
made for revenue purposes. Mr.. Aid
