NEWFOUNDLANO'S DESIRES
Hopes to Land Fish in America
Without Duty-Concessions.

81. Johns. y F. Jan. 23.-The proposed
fisheries regulations recently concluded by
Newfoundland and the United states will
probably be the first question considered
by the colonial Legislature, which has been
called for February s.
II is considered possible that the recent
decision of the United States. making fish
purchased in Newfoundland BY American
fishing vessels subject TO duty. may hinder
the Legislatures adoption Of the proposed
rules. Newfoundland wants 10 land all OF
her fish without duty. and according 70
Sir Edward Morris, this is the basis Of the
agreement.
Newfoundland has entered into two
treaties with the United States said the
Premier "One was made in 1890 with
Nh Blaine. and the other in 1902 with Mr.
Hay The former never came before the
Senate for ratification The other I IN
derstand. is still before the Senate. and
may at any time be revived.
Newfoundland will be ready az any time
TO discuss q treaty with certain modifica-
tons Of the lines OF either OF these treaties.
We want, Of course, free entry for all Of
our hsh in every form-fresh. sailed
smoked or otherwise cured.
We DO not want this for nothing. Tho
Americans want bait Many Of our promi-
uent men think We can afford 70 give this
70 the United States fishermen in return
for free market for our fish.
IN addition TO this, We are prepared 10
continue a free entry from the United
States into Newfoundland Of -four, zero

had entered the gorge a deadly fire was
poured into them from the heights. Re
treat was ordered. but before Colonel Do
rantes's men could escape at least halt
their number had been killed and others
wounded
The government troops were caught in
trap and were moved down by the storm
OF bullets which swept their ranks from
three directions. The rebels occupied the
cliffs and mountains, and the soldiers were
in the road with only one way OF escape
and that blocked. or the two hundred
men who went into the pass only forty
escaped, as far as known. They joined the
column under Colonel Dorantes.
