Kingston, St. Vincent, B. W. L It may be that Captain Colin Stephenson and the crtw of the American whaling ship Carrie D. Knowles, long since thought to have been lost at sea, are still alive In a Venezuelan prison. An American seaman named Payne, an escaptd prisoner from Venezuela, has made his way to Kingston, where he laid before the authorities an astounding story ot the seizure of the Carrie D... Knowles at a Venezuelan port, whore she arrived five years ago In distress, and of the imprisonment of the crew. A speedy investigation will be made. "On January 27, 1904, the Carrie D. Knowkfc sailed from Provlncetown, Mass., on a whaling voyage. She was supposed to have been lout in a West Indian storm with all hands. Some of the men belonged In St, Vincent, and after all hope was given up ot their return, their relatives put on mourning and the local insurance company eventually paid claims on the assumption that the sailors were dead. Payne declared that the whaler had been disabled In a storm off the Venezuelan coast and had made' port la distress. She was at once seized and the captain and crew were made prisoners. He states that ail the men are alive, but aiill closely confined. The details of Payne a escape rronx prison are not known. It Is possible, however, that he is one of tht score or more prisoners who escaped the penitentiary at Maracalbo about two weeks, ago. . on President Taft sent to congress a special message recommending legis lation at the present extra session.' unending the Foraker act under which Porto Rico is governed. The president directs the attention of congress to affairs on the Island, laying particular stress on what he terms "a situation of unusual gravity," developed through the failure or the legis lative assembly or Porto Rico to pass the usual appropriation bills, leaving the island without support after June SO. next. Porto Rlcans have forgotten the generosity of the United Slates, the president says, in the desire of certain of the Island's political leaders for power, and he adds that the pres ent situation Indicates that the United States has gone too fast In the extension ot political power to the Porto Ricans. He concludes that the absolute power or appropriation should be taken away from "those Who have shown themselves too Irre sponsible to enjoy It.'.' Washington.
