An Apparently Acute Stage Has Once Mono Been Reached. THE ARREST OF HARRISON. How 'the Trouble Occurred—Many Un- founded Reports of Sanguinary En- counters—Information For the Venezuelan Commission. GEORGETOWN, British Guiana, J une 2-4. "—Mr. Harrison, the British official'whose arrest by an armed force of Venezuelans om June 15 became known here yesterday, is the crown surveyor. The aflair has caused much indignation and excitement here, al- though nobody seems surprised at the inci-' .dent, as the Venezuela-us have repeatedly declared that they intended to put'a stop to British roadmaking in or about the disput- ed territory. Harrison was working, with a force of about 100 laborers and engineers, - well within the Schomburgk line, opening up a road from Barima to the Cuyuni river. When notified by the commander of a force of Venezuelan troops to stop work, Harri- son did so, under protest, and promptly entered into communication with Sir Au- gustus Hemming, the new governor of British Guiana. He notified Harrison to offer no resistance to the Venezuelans, who claimed the right to arrest foreigners on the left bank of the Cuyuni river. Harri- son carried out his instructions, so far as known here, but his arrest seems to have followed upon the receipt of additional in- structions from Caracas to the commander of the Venezuelan force. It was this movement of the Venezuelan troops and the arrest of Harrison which led to the reports of the advance of Venezue- lan troops into the disputed territory, fol- lowed by the circulation of stories of san- guinary encounters between the British and Venezuelans. The reports of blood- shed, hOWever, are not believed at George- town, although it is possible that there may have been a clash between Harrison’s According to the colonial officials, the British force in the district is limited to a few police- men who are stationed at the timed out- post. These are really well trained sol- diers, but their number is small. The Venezuelan forces in the same part of the country, according to the most recent ad- vices, Were scattered at different posts from El Dorado downward, and as they are reported to outnumber the British 30 to 1 the latter, it is asserted, would not risk provoking a conflict 'or even place them- selves in the position of affording the Venezuelans an excuse to attack them. The colonial officials also state that no British have crossed the Schomburgk line except to visit the Venezuelans or to send them help, as in the case of’ the recent fire at El Dorado, when half that station was destroyed. The latest mail advices from the frontier said that the best of feeling prevailed there between the Venezuelans and the British. Harrison was actually engaged in open- ing a road from Barima to Cuyunl, and sinceOctober last he has beensupervising the work of surveying an extension of this road along the left bank of the Cuyuni to Acarabisci and thence to Uruan. The feeling here is that Great Britain cannot delay action muhh longer, as the Venezuelans, according to the British, 4 seem determined to proVoke a conflict with- out Waiting for the report of the United States commission. ‘ The Sensible View. On the other hand, unbiased judges of the‘situatlon'h‘old that the crown surveyor and his 100 laborers might very Well have been kept here until all danger of a con- flict Was passed and that the work of sur- veying and roadbuilding even-near the din- puted territory wills calculated to excite the Venezuelahs and cause further trouble at a moment when a spark is liable to start a most serious confiagration. N 0 military men is foolish enough to really pretend that the crown surveyor was engaged in the work other than that of preparing for eventualities by improving the lines of communication between the seaboard and the territOry in dispute, and therefore it seems difficult to blame the Venezuelans for having put a stop to Harrison’s opera- tions. In fact, it is rumored that the crown surveyor’s arrest was not ordered until it became plain that his outward stopping of work and retreat under protest were merely moves intended to deceive the Venezuelans, and that he was pushing the surveying and roadmaking secretly while apparently having stopped work in obedi- ence to the remonstrances of the Venezue- lans. The actual facts in the case naturally are kept secret by the British officials, who, it is understood, have cabled a full report on the subject to the colonial omoe. The people here are rapidly getting tired Of the whole dispute, especially of the bungling treatment which the really seri- ous boundary dispute is receiving in Lon- don, and it is feared that the hands of all concerned may be forced sconer or later by a conflict on‘the-border Which might have been avoided had the dispute between British Guiana and Venezuela been han- dled more promptly and effectively by the home government. . The jingoes here are loud'in their de- nunciation of the So called “outrage” upon the crown surveyor and are loudly de- manding that his. release must be immedi- ately brought about by Great Britain, even if a resort to arms must" follow in order to bring about this refilling . ‘ . The more cool headed of. the population, however, are in, favor‘pf peaceful -~n'e'got‘ia- tions and of aWaiting-fullvdetalls of the ar- rest of the crown ,SPrveyor, before pro- nouncing any judgment, on the subject or taking any action which. might tend to further complicate the ’SituatiOn. It seems likely that this latter feeling will prevail. Aid Forthe Commission. WASHINGTON, J une 24.—The Venezuelan government has presented to the Venezue- lan commission the second volume of its certified copies of Spanish archives bearing upon the boundary dispute and has prom- ised the third and concluding volume in a few days. These books consist of about 300 printed pages each and are so exhaust- ive that the commission has concluded it will be superfluous to send agents tOMad- rid for original research. It will trust en- tirely to the British blue books and the Venezuelan documents, and it is believed that neither government has overlooked any evidence at Seville or Madrid. The commission is expecting‘further important results from Holland and Rome and has deo clded to wait a. few months longer before arriving at a decision. All will continue their studies and will each be in close touch with their office at Washington during July and August. Justice Brewer has gone to Lake Cham- plain and Professor Gilman to North East \ Harbor, Me. Both have their secretaries with them and expect to accomplish more work than could be done in Washington during the heated term. Professor Andrew D. White is now at Ithaca Vand'Judg‘e Al- vey is at Hagerstown, Md. They have agreed to meet the other- members at any time that a consultation may be desirable, probably next month at Boston, Secretary Mallett-Provost having taken a. cottage near there at Beach Blufi. Mr. Provost will be in constant communication with the commissioners. The clerical force will be kept at the headquarters in Washington. Commissioner Coudert is the only member who will go abroad, and he will report on a collection from the Vatican of material affecting the case. — THE CUBAN RBBELLION. Consul General Lee Denies Recently Pub- lished Statements. HAVANA, J une 24.—Adricain, the in- surgent leader, has burned 5,000. tons of cane at the plantations of ,Reunion, De- seada and Chucho, in the province of Ma- tanzas. ~ The insurgent Major Francisco Varona has been killed in an engagement with the Spanish troops near Salud, province of Havana. .

It is understood that the greater number of them are Americans. The United States consul general, Gen- eral Fitz Hugh Lee, denies, not diplomatic- ally, but absolutely, the statement pub- lished that. he has sent important reports to President Cleveland by a special mes- senger. He adds that he has not sent any reports to Mr. Cleveland by messenger or in any other way. Jaime and Joaquin - Bucet, two men charged with being the authors of the re— cent attempts to destroy the Cristina and Concha bridges with dynamite and who were arrested the day after the attempts, were delivered to the military tribunal to- day, with the necessary documents proving their guilt. __ More Troops For Cuba.

Gorr's CHARGE TO THE JURY It Was Generally Regan-“der! as a Very Im- partial Presentation—:Circumstan- tial Evidence Defined—What the State Illust Prove. .__.__;‘;_— NEW YORK, J one 24.—Recordcr Gofffs charge to the jury in the Fleming trial to- day took tho largest crowd to the court- room that has visited it since the proceed- ings opened. Long before the jury took their seats instructions were given to clear the corridors leading to the entrance, and ofiicers experienced much difficulty in keeping a passageway open. The usual number of women appeared, however, from adjoining chambers. Many of the Witnesses and officials who-testified during the trial discussed the probable verdict be- fore the proceedings began. had friends who wished to witness the closing scenes of the trial, and attendants were importuned frequently in their be- half. Mrs. Fleming’s younger sister, Miss Bliss, arrited fully a half hour before court opened and was surrounded by friends with whom she discussed the case. Recorder Golf took his seat upon the bench and in- structed the clerk concerning some minor matters regarding the case. Messrs. Miller and O’Sullivan of the prosecution were the first of the counsel to arrive and chat- ted pleasantly with the jurors. Mrs. Fieming came soon after the recorder’s ar- rival and took her accustomed seat at the right of her sister. She looked pale and tired, but seemed calm withal, preserving her usual demeanor. h r. Brooke was very late in arriving. Be ore Recorder Goff began speaking ofiicers announced that the doors would be locked and no one per- mitted to leave the room during the charge. When Mr. Brooke perused cer- tain papers in the case for a few minutes, he handed the recorder a voluminous doc- ument containing 72 requests to charge. The first requests to charge were as fol- lows: It is the duty of the prosecution to prove to the satisfaction of the jury beyond all reason- able doubt the guilt of the defendant of the crime charged in the indictment. If the proof does not absolutely preclude any and every other possible cause of death beyond all reasonable doubt than the guilt of the de- fendant of the crime charged in the indict- ment. there is a failure of the necessary proof to convict, and the jury must acquit. The jury cannot determine the guilt of the defendant upon the mere probability or im- probability in respect to the cause of death. No matter how improbable it may seem, if, in the minds of the jury, there is aprobability of death occurring from natural causes or from any cause other than the guilt of the de- fendant of the crime charged in the indict- ment, the prosecution has failed to prove suf- ficient to justify a conviction, and it is the duty of the jury to acquit. ‘ The Recorder’s Charge. Recorder Golf’s charge to the jury was all but inaudible to those sitting a distance of more than ten feet from the bench. After Recorder Goflf had taken the pa- pers be addressed the jury as fOIIOWS: “Gentlemen of the jury, the defendant, Mary Alice Almont Livingston Fleming, has been indicted by the grand jury of this county for murder in the first degree in having administered to Mrs. Bliss, the de- fendant’s mother, a dose of poison which the prosecution described as arsenic and antimony, from which Mrs. Bliss is said to hem died.” The recorder then gave the definitions of homicide and the diflerent degrees of murder and of manslaughter and justifiable homicide as defined in sec- tions 179 to 194 in the penal code, continu— ing: “You will find that the act of mur- der in the first degree, with which the de~ fendant is charged, to come under the le- gal definition of the same must have been committed with deliberation and premedi- tation. “Now, if you should find that the ac- cused person has been guilty of adminis- tering poison, it is proper for you to con- sider all these circumstances which have been revealed. The fact that the poison was said to be administered by the accused compels you to consider all those circum- stances which would tend to show that the act was one of premeditation and delibera- tion. I may say that it is within the pow— er of a jury to find a defendant guilty of any of the lesser degrees of murder :11- though the charge may have originally been that of murder . in the first degree. And although this is so it does not relieve the jury of finding a verdict strictly in ac- cordance with the evidence presented. If the jury should become clearly convinced that the accused person is guilty of murder in the first degree, it would certainly be a departure from their obligations for them to return a verdict of guilty for one of the minor degrees. But you must act strictly in accordance with the evidence, and if the evidence convinces you that the facts presented warrant a conviction for murder in the first degree beyond reasonable doubt, then you must abide by them. “But there are certain rules of evidence which are applicable to such cases, and those which are specially or generally ap- plicable I shall call your attention to. The Presumption of Innocence. “The defendant is. presumed to be inno- cent until proved guilty. That presump- tion remains with her throughout the case until you are convinced of her guilt, and then it ceases to exist. The material facts necessary to establish the weight of her guilt must be presented by the prosecu- tion. But you are exclusively the judges of all questions of fact. ~ The arguments presented by counsel are addressed to your reason and should receive consideration. All arguments, howover, as well as all valueless and should receive no considera- tion whatever. And any questions or sug- gestions which concern any matter which as not been admitted in evidence must receive absOlutely no consideration at your hands. . “The true issue and the only real issue of this defendant. And you will observe that the question of murder in the first degree, which is the crime with which the defendant is charged, must be considered by you with the idea that the crime must have been committed under a deliberate and premeditated design.” The recorder said that it was customary to receive from the defense certain requests to charge. Mr. Brooke had. given him 76. The recorder-had divided them into three classes—those that he would charge, those that he would not charge and those that he considered that he'had already charged. The first comprised 17 of the request. ‘ He would read them, and he did.
