FIGHT OCCUREn IN CACHIPOUR
Sevaral Frenchmen Were Killed anil
UtlierH Taken Prisoners--Boundary
Settlement May lie Delayed.
Kingston, Jamaica, Feb, 10. Details
of fresh trouble between French colonists
at Cayenne and the Brazilians in the
trans-Amazonian province of Brazil,
which may lead to further diplomatic
trouble before an arbitration agreement
is reached, have been received here.
A French mining expedition into the
Cachipour district, in the disputed terri
tory from which it was agreed that all
troops be withdrawn pending a settle
ment, was met by u force of Brazilian
rangers and made prisoners after a fight,
in which one or two French citizens were
shot. The party was under the leader
ship of a Frenchman named Tibert.
They ascended the Cachipour river with
out any interferenctauntil their arrival
at Degrad Fifine landing, where they
commenced erecting "wikyups." Be
fore the party had got throuh with their
work 150 armed Brazilians fired upon
them from ambush-without challenge.
Tilbert naturally supposed that he
was being attacked by brigands, and as
this was to be looked ior, tbe fire was re
turned. But it at once became apparent
that they had to deal with a large body
of soldiers and not a few wandering bri
gands. Tilbert then ordered hia men ta
stop firing, but the soldiers continued
to fire, and many of the party plunged
into the river and attempted to get away
in boats. They were fired on in the
water and one or two were killed, while
Borne others escaped and made their
way down tbe river. Tilbert and the
rest of the men were made prisoners.
Fearing a reprisal from the French,
Perez sent to Para tcf ask for reinforce
ments, but according to advices the gov
ernor of Cayenne decided to take no
action in the way of reprisal, but has
eent a protest against the disturbance
of the status quo to Para and laid the
matter before hia government at Paris.
Meanwhile all private mining opera
tions in the disputed terrltoy have been
euspenped.
DOES HOT LIKE UOVNOABY THE AT V
Bitter Attuok Made by Prominent Ven
ecuelan. New York, Feb. 10. A dispatch to
the Herald from CuracaB, Venezuela,
Bays :
Benor Michelen,, formerly in the dip
jonifttlc service of Venezuela and the
last minister from this country to Eng
land, has agafn attacked t the Anglo.
Venezuelan treaty in terms' of great bit
terness. The animadversions are con
tained in a letter which is published in
tbe Pregonoro.
Senor Michelen introduces his attack
on the treaty and the protocol which
preceded it with a virulent arraignment
of England and her policy in foreign af
fairs and the motices of Secretary Olney
in his negotiations on the boundary con
vention. He directly charges tbe secretary of
state at Washington of conspiracy, and
declares that Great Britain is always ar
rogant with weaker nations, while with
her equals in power she is cowardly
to a degree.
A meeting of workinemen took place
at Washington Plaza, at which was dis
cussed the candidacy for the presidency
of General Hernandez. The meeting
was broken up in an uncermonious
manner by a strong division oi the
zouaves, who invaded the place, and,
aided by superior numbers, proclaimed
Rojas Paul as the candidate for the
workingmen.
Swallowed Up 11 y the Sea.
Richmond, Va., Feb. 10. Cobb's
islands, a famous summer resort and
life-saving station, six miles off the Vir
ginia coast in the Atlantic ocean, seeme
to be doomed to annihilation by the ac
tion of the sea.
A terrible storm swept the island last
October, wrecked the main hotel and
flooded the island, making a trench
across tbe center. Since then the dis
integration has been steady, until re
cently, when high tides submerged tbe
island and washed nearly all the build
ings into the surf. The hotel, church
and a number of cottages have been de
stroyed, and the life-saving station and
a few cottages are all that is left.
The captain of tbe life-saving station,
from whom this information is received,
says there is no longer any doubt that
tbe island is doomed, and only phenom
enal action of wind and waves could
possibly require it.
The life-saving station, which- was re
cently moved back from the encroaching
sea, is now less than 200 feet from tbe
waves.

TURNED ON THE GAS.
Mysterious Double Suicide at Grand
Island, Nebraska.
Gkakd Island, Neb., Feb. 10. A mys
terious doable suicide has occured here.
Two well-dressed-men arrived in this
city from the East and inquired for the
best hotel in the city, Only one regist
ered, saying he would do so for both.
The name on the register is very vaguely
written, evidently made 90 purposely,
but looks like R. A. Newcoin, and the
residence is given as Billings, Mont.
About noon the men were found in
their room dead. All the gas jets in the
room were open full, and one jet, placed
very high up, and of which no possible
use could be made for lighing purposes
was also open. Neither man had any
baggage other than a small grip, and
this contained nothing but two shirts
and a few collars. They were all new,
and bore the stamp of a Chicago firm.
With this exception, there is nothing to
indicate from where they came.
The coroner's jury could obtain no
light on the case and returned a verdict
of suicide. Both are tall, fine-looking
men, dressed in dark suits One wore a
full beard and one was of sandy com
plexion, and probably 40 years old. The
other was smooth shaven, with dark
hair, cut short, and was probably five
years the senior of the other. There
were no papers in the pockets of their
clothes, though ashes in the toilet bowl
suggested that some papers had been de
stroyed. A Baptist college student from Scotia,
N. D., late last night thougtft be recog
nized tbe bodieB as those of two mer
chants of that city.
Suicides Identified.
Grand Island, Neb. Feb. 10. The
young men asphyxiated at the Palmer
house here yesterday have been posi
tively identified as Hugh Halpin and
Charles Lehman, of Scotia, Neb.
To Settle the Boundary.
New York, Feb. 10. A dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso says the
new Argentine minister to Chile, who
has arrived in Santiago with the offi
cials of til legation, will at once enter
into negotiations with the state depart
ment for the determination of tbe
boundary line over tbe AndeB.
Deufuoss-Gannot be Cured
by local applications, aB they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafiiees is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restoredto its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

Stands at the Head.
Aug. J. Bogel, tbe leading druggist of
Sbreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's
New Discovery is the only thing that
cures my cough, and it is ttte best seller
I have." J. F. Campbell, merchant of
Satford, Ariz., writes : "Dr. King's New
Discovery is all that is claimed for it; it
never fails, and is a sure cure for Con
sumption, Coughs, and Colds. I cannot
say enough for its merits," Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is not an experiment.
It has been tried for a quarter of a cen
tury, and today stands at the head. It
nefer disappoints. Free trial bottles at
