Queer Circular Received by New Onr leans Manufacturers, New Orleans, Oct. 11.—Printed oir- Sulars threatening that South Amer- ican countries will boycott the goods 'of American manufacturers who vote for President Roosevelt’s principles in the next presidential election have been received by several New Orleans manufacturing firms, The circular, which Is claimed to have been drafted In Caracas, Venezuela, on Sept. 12, reads in part: “American manufacturers who vote the Roosevelt ballot in the next pres- ldential election will be excluded from Bouth American trade. “President Roosevelt has said in some recent speeches that the Latin- American countries are bound to dis- appear for two reasons—first, because Havana, Oct. 11.—Several leaders of | they are Latin, and, second, because the revolution have arrived here from various parts of the island for the pur- pose, it is said, of attending a meeting at the home of General del Castillo. They would not discuss the object of the gathering, but it is said that the rebel generals intend to make urgent requests to Secretary Taft for official positions under the provisional gov- ernment. They feel, it is asserted, that their hopes are vain unless they voice their ambitions before the de- parture of Mr. Taft. It Is stated that each of the generals has selected the position which he desires and will make a demand for it on the ground that Mr. Taft is under obligations to them for their assistance in disarming the rebels. Among the generals known to have been requested by telegraph to come here are Guzman, Ferrara, Nuchado and Guerra and it is be- lieved that others are coming. It 1s considered significant that the rebels whe served under General del Castillo have been instructed not to sell their horses and it is feared that Del Castillo has a wild idea of enfore- ing his demand for a position under the provisional government.

The circular calls this organization the Sublime Brotherhood of Zaques. Apparently the circulars were mailed from San Jose, Costa Rica. ROYAL LADIES USE CIGARETTES.

Dublin, Oct. 11.—In the Four Courts here J. I. Campbell, Richard Croker’s attorney in his libel action against the London Magazine, applied for per- mission to serve a writ on the Amal- gamated Press, publishers of the : The Amalgamated Press is one of the Harmsworth companies, With_ headquarters in London, so it as_necessary to obtaln the sanction of the court to serve the writ outside Mr. Camp- bell pointed out that the Dublin agents of the defendant had served a writ on the plaintifft. Mr. Croker, he said, sought, in addition to recovering dam ages, to restrain the defendants from publishing certain “gross and defama- tory statements concerning him” un- der the heading of “Tammany in Eng- land.” “Statements,” counsel continued, “had been made therein which were entirely false and unfounded. The plaintiff had never, he alleged, derived Any Money or Emoluments from his connection with any Demo- cratic organization in New York, in- cluding Tammany Hall, save and ex- cept tire- salaries he received for the different offices he held in the civic administration of New York. So far from having at any time used his posi- tion for the purpose stated in the art- icle, namely, blackmailing, bribing, corrupting and suborning, he -had mever as a matter of fact benefitted, directly or indirectly, as alleged; and he did not then or at any time black- mail, bribe, corrupt or suborn any person or persons. He solemnly swore he had never knowingly done or suffered to be done any corrupt or improper act for his personal benefit.,” Mr. Campbell pointed out that Mr. Croker lived near Dublin, so that it was more expeditious to have the ac- tion tried in Dublin. It was of the utmost importance to him that he should have an early opportunity of vindicating his character. Justice Gibbon gave counsel permis- slon to serve the writ on the secre- tary of the Amalgamated. Press. PUBLICLY HORSEWHIPPED. East St. Louis Man Accused of Insult- ing Cousin's Wife.

WESSEL FINALLY CONFISCATED, BUT CONTRABANDS HAD BEEN PUT ASHORE. Providence, R. I, Oct. 11.—After having evaded the United States cus- toms and immigration officers for more than two weeks the schooner- yacht Frolic, which lett Placentia, N. F., with a cargo of contraband Chi- nese immigrants, was boarded in the Providence river early in the day and confiscated in the name of the United States governments. Two Americans, members of the crew, were placed un- der arrest, they being the only per- sons found on board the boat; two men were arrested on suspicion of be- ing concerned in the smuggling ot Chinese into this country, while seven- teen Chinese, belleved to have been passengers on the Frolic, were also arrested. The Frolic entered the harbor in broad daylight, anchoring on the west side of the Providence river. Despite the vigilance of the coastguards and the revenue cutters from Eastport, Me., to Cape Hatteras the schooner came up the harbor without attracting any attention, those who saw her tak- ing her for a fishing schooner. It was by the purest accident that It was diseovered that she was the Frolic. A man employed at the coal pockets stumbled over two Chinese huddled in a heap on the wharf of the coalyard. The workman went to the office of the company and reported the occurrence to the night watchman, who in turn informed the police, Offi- cers were dispatched to the scene and within a short time eight Chinese had been captured. Vessel Finally Confiscated. Meanwhile the customs and immi- gration officials had been notified of the affair. The vessel was not board- ed Immeditely, however, as there was mot a breath of wind stirring and it would be impossible for the craft to get away. The search for the Chinese was prosecuted and before long nine more had been caught. A boarding party then went out to the schooner and it was confiscated by the govern- ment officials and the two members of the crew found on board were ar- rested and brought ashore. At the police station it was learned that the two men captured on board the vessel: were Edward R. Jenkins of South Boston and William A. Duncan of Somerville, According to their story they, with “Al” Ames of Boston, constituted the crew of the smuggler, while Herbert H. Colby, also a Boston man, commanded the vessel. The two last named are now at large, as are twenty-seven Chinamen, who had been landed before the police discovered that the Frolic was in the harbor. In his cell one of the prisoners made statements which, if true, indi- cate that the smuggling of Chinese Into New England states has been carried on for years with great profit. He stated that an expedition like that of the Frolic netted about $16,000, clear of all expenses. Serious charges also were made in connection with the ease with which Chinese can be landed on the shores of New England. TOUCHED BY CHILD'S APPEAL.

Findlay, O., Oct. 11.—It is the in- tention of the prosecution in the trial here of the Standard Oil company of Ohio for conspiracy against trade to occupy the entire day in the submis- sion of documentary-evidence. This evidence consists of the pleadings and testimony in the two suits against the Standard Oil trust before the supreme court of the state in 1842 and 1898. Attorney V. P. Kline, conducting the oase for the Standard, maintains there is no competency in rehearsing this “ancient history,” but Prosecutor David and his assistant, Mr. Phelps, insists it is necessary that the jury may get the proper perspective of the case, Before the jury was brought into court on its convening attorneys for the prosecution and defense held a preliminary argument touching the competency of admitting the testi- mony of Mr. Rockefeller given in the previous trial. ‘Mr. Phelps, for the prosecution, maintained that this evi- dence by Mr. Rockefeller was highly material and in fact the very essence of the case in trial. Attorneys for the defense declared that the evidence was immaterial and of no value, but Judge Banker admitted the testimony as competent. His ruling came at the conclusion of an argument of an hour and a half. The jury was brought in when the trial resumed after recess and Mr. Phelps began the reading of Mr. Rockefeller’s answers to the interrog- atories sworn to in February, 1898. The answers admitted the original trust and gave light on the organiza- tlon of the subsidiary companies. CONTAINS MILLIONS OF GERMS.
