Volumes of Evidence Submitted to
the Boundary Commission.

ENGLAND’S CLAIMS REFUTED

Testimony From Spanish Sources That
Contradicts the Allegations of John
Bull’s Blue Book—Clinchers
That Are Still to Come.

WASHINGTON, July 6.--_After several
months of hard labor the Venezuelan lega—
ticn has completed the translation of the
documents relating to the question of the
boundary betwoen Venezuela and British
Guiana and has submitted them to the
boundary commission. The result is three
separate volumes of correspondence aggre-
gating 795 printed pages, all taken from
the federal archives of the Indies at Seville
by the courtesy of the Spanish govern-
ment.

In the British blue book on the subject
of the boundary controversy there Were
many extracts and allusions to these pa-
pers, but because inspection had shown
that not only had there been serious errors
made in the English translations, but also
that the meaning carried by the extracts

.were in cases misleading, it was deemed

proper to lay before the boundary commis-
sion translations of all the documents in
extenso, leaving to the commission the
task of sifting out the desired facts from
the great mass of matter submitted. This
course was believed to be calculated to in-
sure a fair judicial decision of the import-
ant questions at issue.

The translations just completed are sub-
mitted by counsel for Venezuela without
a word of argument in any place, and so
strictly have the translators and collators
of the matter followed the plan of avoid-
ing any attempt to go beyond the mere
presentation of facts, that they have re-
frained from taking the liberty of arrang-
ing the ancient documents in chronolog-
ical order and have apparently printed
them in the order they occupy in the old
Spanish archives. Owing to the fact that
the language of the old reports is very dif-
ferent from modern Spanish and English,
the translation of the mass of documents
from their quaint and ancient phrase-
ology into modern English so as to make
them serviceable to the boundary commis-
sion was no easy task and required expert
work of a high order, but the Venezuelan
legatiou believes that this has been satis-
factorily accomplished.

Of course the intent of the whole work
is to show that during the last half of the
preceding century the Dutch, through
whom the English hold title, did not ac-
tually occupy the lands in Guiana west of
the Essiquibo river, and so the testimony
adduced tends to contradict the allega-
tions contained in the British blue book.
The question of fact thus raised is for the
boundary commission to decide, although
the Venezuelans expect that documents
yet to come from the Vatican records will
go far to corroborate this Spanish evidence.

Although the boundary commission for
atime has suspended its weekly meetings
in this city and the members have dis-
persed among the summer resorts of the
north, there will, it is expected, be no de-
lay in the consideration of these important
documents. By prearrangement, full
copies of the pamphlets will be sent to
each of the members, so that they may be
able each to follow out the particular line
of inquiry with which he is charged and
report to the full commiSsion at a meeting
to be called as soon as the reports are in
readiness. '

A Brutal Murder.

CINCINNATI, July 6.—-Late last night
Hauss, the hired man who is suspected of
the murder of Mrs. William Brader at
Covedale yesterday morning, was arrested
near Hamilton, 0. The story of the crime
had gone faster than the criminal to the
place where he was found, and ominous
threats led the Qfiicers to take him to
Hamilton for safekeeping. Later he was
brought to this city and locked up in the
city prison. When Brader came home, a
pitiful scene occurred. The husband faint-
ed, and when restored to consciousness his
grief was heartrending. H'auss is only 17
years old. The case is regarded as one of
the most atrocious which ever occurred in
this neighborhood.

A Newspaper Man’s Suicide.

HARTFORD, July 6.—-P. Albert Goetell
of Meriden shot himself in the heart last

Lillung Chang Plants Grief and Dis-
appointment In His Trail.

HE DEPARTS FROM GERMANY

And Leaves but Cold Comfort For the
Berlin Manufacturers. In Place of
the Fat Contracts They Expected.
Discord In the, Cabinet.

BERLIN, July 6.—Li Hung Chang was
received with the greatest enthusiasm and
hospitality in Germany, but he departed
leaving griefs and disillusions behind him.

Great things were hoped from his visit
—a German coaling station in China, big
orde‘i's to German firms, etc., but no such
orders have been given, and nothing has
been done. Secretary Detring of the Chi-
nese statesman’s staff, returning thanks
on behalf of Li Hung Chang at the recent
banquet for the reception accorded the lat-
ter, said: /

“The Viceroy hopes that no disappoint-
ments will result from his visit. The ob-
ject of his journey was to promote a
friendly understanding between China
and Germany, and he profited by the occa-
sion to inform himself more completely re-
garding the capabilities of German indus-
try. When he returns to China, he will
report upon all he has seen.”

This appears to be cold comfort for the
German manufacturers.

An utterance of Li Hung Chang during
his interview with Prince Bismarck is
quoted in political circles. It was:

“Caprivi was one of those who say: ‘It
is ordered; hence, I’ll do it.’ Prince Ho-
henlohe has more confidence in his own
opinion, which he defends with ability
and caution.” '

Trouble In the Cabinet.

Rumors have been current throughout
the week of another cabinet crisis. In the
reichstag lobby the most extravagant re-
ports were credited. But with the excep-
tion of the resignation of Baron von Ber-
lepsch, the minister of. commerce, already
recorded, there will be no further changes
until after the return of the emperor. But
before the reichstag reassembles there will
be some other ministerial changes.

His majesty is greatly annoyed at the
signal parliamentary failures which the
minister of war, General Bronsart von
Schelendorf, and Dr. Bosse, the minister
of public instruction, have made during
the session. There is also a lack of har-
mony in the cabinet. The chancellor,
Prince Hohenlohe, is too slow and con-
servative for the taste of some, while much
jealousy exists between Dr. Miguel, the
Prussian minister of finance, and Count
von Posadowsky, secretary of the imperial
treasury.

Prince Hohenlohe’s health is bad, and
it is known that before the emperor’s de-
parture for Kiel, the chancellor requested
to be relieved of his ofiicial burdens. But
the emperor declined for the time being.
expressing the hope that the prince’s health
would improve and enable him to remain
in office.

\Villiam Wants a Navy.

Prince Louis of Bavaria, who distin-
guished himself in raising astorm in Ger-
many by his protests at Moscow against
being classed as a follower of Prince Henry
of Prussia, who represented Emperor Will-
iam at the coronation fetes, has had an in-
terview with the emperor at Kiel. It was
brought about by the Prince Regent Luit-
pold. His majesty was reserved and
haughty and expressed no direct criticism
of Prince Louis’ sensational Moscow
speech. ‘

The prince, instead of remaining with
his regiment at Augsburg, as had been
intended, has been ordered by his father
to proceed to his Hungarian estate as a
sort of mild banishment.

At the launching of the new German
ironclad Friedrich III the emperor, while
inspecting the vessel,» remarked, “I hope
I may yet 'see a German navy worthy of
the German army.”

The Radical neWSpapers contrast his
majesty’s well known desire for a big
navy with the peaceful aspiration in his
speech upon the same occasion. The big
navy agitation is not popular, and any at-
tempt in that direction will cause severe
conflicts in the reichstag.

After the Duelists.

The latest phase of the duel question is
that the emperor has ordered that any in-
fringement of the imperial order of 1874,
which binds ofiicers to submit their quar-
rels to a court of honor before issuing chal-
lenges, shall be severely punished.

An unknown monomaniac has been ter-
rorizing the labor quarters of Berlin by
stabbing children in the back with a dag-
ger. He always manages to escape.

A committee has been formed to cele~
brate the centenary of the birth of Will-
iam I, together with the unveiling of a
monument' to the old emperor on the
Schlossfreiheit. There will be historic
processions, fetcs, public feasts for the
poor, etc., in all the German cities.

An official investigation has begun to
determine to what extent the importation
of American frozen meat has met the re-
quirements of hygiene and cheapness. It
includes the years 1893 to date, and upon

the result depends whether these imports

will be allowed to continue.

Judge Jackson a Candidate.

PARKERS‘BURG, W. Va., July 6.—In an
interview today Judge John Jackson of
the United States supreme court admitted
that he is a candidate for the vice presi-
dency, and that his name will be present-
ed at the Chicago convention this week.
He considers his chance favorable. Judge
Jackson is the senior district judge of the
United States, having been appointed by
President Lincoln in 1863.

Disease In Havana.

HAVANA, July 6.-—There are actually
6,810 men sick in the military hospitals of
the island. Of this number 695 are suf-
ering from yellow fever at Colom, 115 at
Matanzas, 84 at Santa Clara and 90 in
this city. Surgeon General Losada thinks
that the number of soldiers who will suf—
fer from sickness during the summer will
not exceed 13,000. '

, Found In the River.
ALBANY, July 6.—-The body of Eugene

Shafor, a young man 33 years of age, was

found in the river today. He was the
nephew of ex-Assemblyman Ira Shafer, a
native of this county and later of New
York. Accident is the only theory of the
tragedy.

Both Arms Blown Ofl'.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, July 6.—John
Caresby, a member of the Union Veter-
ans’ league, while firing a salute on Fish
island, had both arms blown off by a
premature dischargeof the cannon.

All ADVANTAGE res YALE

She Rows the First Heat With Leander

and Gets Bucks Shore. _

HENLEY—ON-THAMES, July 6.»-—-In the
drawing for heats today. Leander and Yale
were allotted to pull in the first heat, with
Yale on the Bucks shore. This is consid~
ered quite an. advantage for the Amer-
icans, especially if a strong West wind,
such as has been blowing every day for a
week, prevails on Tuesday. In this case
Yale would be favored by about a length
If Yale beats Leander, the
former will' row the winner of the second
heat, which will probably be New college,
on Wednesday.

‘ Yale has the best station under any cir-

cumstances, and as the prevailing winds
make the Bucks shore the most favored
station the chances of the Americans win-
ning are considered increased. . . _ ,

The Yale oarsmen generally .are well
pleased with having drawn to pull against
Leander in,the first heat. They say they
are eager for the fray and would rather
tackle Leander than New college, as they
think the latter will finishstronger, and
if they beat Leander it will give Yale con-
fidence. One of the men said:

“It would not help us a bit to defeat
any second rate crew, and you bet we shall
row for all we are worth on Tuesday.”

The Observer this morning says: “ Yale
drew Bucks station, which, as the wind
has been blowing for the past week, is
worth two or three lengths. A most des—
perate struggle should ensue. Leander
has one or two weak spots that a severe
race may find out."

Lynched a Negro.

ROCKVILLE, Md., July 6.-—Sidney Ran-
dolph, a negro charged with the murder
of little Sadie Buxton and with brutal as-
saults with intent to commit murder on
the girl’s father, mother and elder sister
during the night of May 25 at the home
of the Buxtons near Gaithersburg, was
lynched before daylight this morning by a
mob of determined men, who overcame
the sherifl and forced him to surrender the
keys to the jail. The nengprotested his
innocence of the crime to e last. This
makes the second lynching in Maryland
within two weeks, Joseph Coclng, a’white
man, in jail on a charge of murdering his
wife, having been killed by a mob a short
time ago.

A Family Starved to Death.

TORONTO, J uly 6. —News has reached
here from River Moisie, on the north
shore, to the effect that a party of hunters
from Moisie found the bodies of seven In-
dians about 52-00 miles in the interior. The
bodies were those of a family consisting of
father, mother and five children. ‘A few
notes in the Maskouapi language, un-
doubtedly written by the snow, shOWed
that the family had started fromEMoisie
last fall for the Hudson bay hunting
grounds. After having =raveled about 200
miles the provisions no short, and there
being no game one after another suc-
cumbed to starvation, the woman being
the last to die.

Remarkable Pigeon Flying.

PHILADELPHIA, July 6.—’.l‘he most re-
markable pigeon flying record ever made

bird, together with 65 others. was shipped
to Gain-sville, (33., on Monday last, where
they Wero‘liherated at 6:40 yesterday morn-
