by the present legislature? it is con-
sistently rumored about Hartford that
ed for the liquor bill which calls it-
oonoea to be issued only to every per-
thonund inhabitants,1nd which also
calls for the increase in fees fromI
8450 to $1,000. The substitute bill. it
is said, provides that liquor licensee
shall be issued one to every 750 inhab-
itants and calls for an increase in ii-
cense fees from $450 to 3750. Should
the that bill be passed twenty-five
saloons in this city will close their
doors. and should the socalled com-
promise bill pass but twelve will go
out of business, From other sources
comes the report that all statements,
concerning compromises and new
plans for licensing the selling of booze
are said to he guesswork pure and

NEW YORK, March 25.-—-($ermaii naval.officers at

the West Indies by Jesse Boyd. second officer of the
American steamer Carib. that was sunk by a mine in the
North Sea. Mr. Boyd, who reached here today from Rot-
terdam aboard the steamship Rotterdam, said he spent
five days at chmcrhavcn and through an old time friend, .
now an officer in thc German navy, obtained positive
confirmation of the rumor that the Karlsrulic was no
longer afloat. .
She went down with the German flag flying, and as
she sank the ship's band played martial music, Mr. Boyd
quotes his friend as saying. A German bomb sent her to
the bottom after she had struck on a reel. As the last flag
dippctl bcncath the watcr, German rifles fired a ftill sa-
lutc in her honor.
Some of her crew is now at llrcnicriiavcu. the naval
officer is said to have told Mr. lloytl. As to the others,
Mr. Boyd said he did not want to appear too inquisitive,
and so did not ask many questions. but be inferred that.
the men \vcrc still in the West liitlics or had been land—
cd in South America.
Mr. Boyd's friend said he had seen and talked with
members of the Karlsruhc's crew at llrcuicrliziveu and

Germany were decorated for valor by ordcr of the cm—
pcror.
