OUT WITH VENEZUELA
DRASTIC ACT EXPLAINED.
Severance of Relations a Carefulhj
Considered Step.
Washington. June 24. — Peftor Veloz-Goiticoa.
the Venezuelan charge d'affaires in Washing
ton, calle-d at the State Department to-day and
talked with Acting Secretary Adee. but the lat
ter declined to indicate what the nature of the
conference was. Senor 'Veloe has no idea of
demanding his passports as the outcome of the
withdrawal of Jacob Sleeper, the American
charge at Caracas
Mr. Sleeper is coming home by direction of
the State Department, and it is said in official
circles that the act mean* a practical cessation
of diplomatic relations with Venezuela.
Senor Veloz had been in New York for sev
eral days, only returning to Washington at 1
o'clock this morning, and he knew nothing
of what had occurred in Venezuela in con
tiection with the closing of the American Le
gation there until he read the morning papers.
Nothing had prepared him for this action on
the part of the State Department, and the
latest mail from his own country, dated June
12. reported that everything was quiet, and
there was no mention of the huhonic plague,
which is said to lie prevalent at some of the
ports, and even at Caracas. So Senor Veloz
was somewhat taken aback at this last news,
but. after all, he was not much disconcerted,
for Venezuela has had many similar ruptures
in the pßst and is even now not on speaking
terms with France.
PROBABLE SURPRISE TO CASTRO.
The programme of the State Department is
the result of careful deliberation on the part of
Secretary Root and Assistant Secretary Bacon,
dating: back to last winter, v.-hen. at the request
of Senator Lodge, the department submitted to
the Senate all of the correspondence exchanged
between "Washington and Caracas within the
last five years in regard to American claims.
That the withdrawal of the American Legation
from Venezuela was a complete surprise to
President Castro and that he was somewhat
startled by the drastic action of the American
government there is no doubt. What the next
step in this International complication will be is
a problem that no one connected with the ad
ministration her* appears able to answer. 'It
is said the present is a time to await develop
ments, especially to see whether President Cas
tro-, always resourceful, is willing to permit the
United States to take the next stop without any
intervening: move on his part to mend the situ
ation he has brought about. Castro is the domi
nant figure in Venezuelan affairs, and it is
believed here that he will continue to play that
role, as he has done for nine years, unless con
ditions should be developed to break his power.
The publication in the "Constitucional," Cas
tro's personal organ, suggesting that, in spite of
the action of the "American government in with
drawing its legation, "the brotherhood and high
consideration o-f the Venezuelan people toward
the United States" would not be weakened, is
regarded with considerable interest here because
the columns of that paper have been "filled with
denunciation of the United States. The "Con
stitutional" is to such an extent regarded a.x
the personal organ of Castro that there is little
doubt he personally dictated the tone of the
editorial, if not its exact language.
Acting Secretary Adee has communicated
with Secretary Root, and it is probable that
a conference will soon be held by Mr. Root
with Assistant Secretary Bacon and Acting
Secretary Adee and all the correspondence that
has ' passed between Washington and Caracas
since the department submitted its answer to
the Lodge resolution may be made public.
The Navy Department has only meagre ad
vices from Venezuela- The seaports of that
country have been shunned by merchant ship
ping on account of plasue, and of course the
department would not feel warranted in send
ing warships into the pest-stricken waters ex
cept in case of great urgency. So naval move
ments In that quarter have been confined to
those made by the little gunboat Marietta. At
the instance of the State Department, solicitous
for the safety of its people In the legation at
Caracas and the American consular officers on
the coast of Venezuela, the Navy Department
order, the Marietta to Willemstad, only a
couple of hour?' steaming distance from La
Guayra, to make sure that these Americans
might be able to depart from Venezuela in
case the plague spread to such proportions
that no merchant vessels could be induced to
enter the harbors. The Marietta has con
sequently been cruising back and forth be
tween Willemstad and the mainland, acting
without specific orders and as a result of com
munications with the American Legation and
consulates. The last report from the ship
came to the department from Wlllemstad under
date of Monday, saying that the vessel was
about to proceed to Porto Cabello.
THE SEVERANCE COMPLETE.
The severance of diplomatic relations between
the United States and Venezuela is regarded
here as technically complete, and it is not nec
essary for the State Department to serve on the
Venezuelan government any further notice of
the termination than -was conveyed by Mr.
Sleeper in person when he withdrew from
Caracas and indicated that the Brazilian diplo
matic representative would be placed in charge
of the archives of the American Legation.
The declination of the Venezuelan government
to Issue passports to Mr. Sleeper at his request
is regarded by the American-Latin element in
this city as a rather unpleasant sign. They be
lieve that Mr. Sleeper did not demand his pass
ports (which, of course, he might have had had
he persisted) as a political step, but rather with
the purpose of Insuring free passage for the
legation party through the rigorous quarantine
line?.
Up to the rinse of office hours to-day Mr.
Sleeper had not formally reported his depart
ure from Venezuela, a^hough word from him to
that effect is expected at any time.
A DEMAND ON CASTRO.
Holland Makes Claim for Seizure
of Vessels and Mails.
London. June 25.— "The Daily Telegraph's" cor
respondent at The Hague learns that Holland

cheered the mention of the name of Governor
Hughes in a speech made by ex- Assemblyman

ures put through by the Governor, and referring

who ever sat at Albany."

clubs hearty support to the Republican ti-ket.

"The candidate for President is a great jurist, a
wonderful diplomat, and in Sherman the party has

Renominntion if He Wants It.

P <v,, the only thing required, without which he
believed n to be doubtful whether the renomina
tion could he obtained "with the present hostility

his renomination." said Senator Saxe.

PLUNDERING TEHERAN
THE FIGHTING RESCUED.
Foreigners Reported in Peril —
Bombs Thrown at Troops.
Berlin. June 26— A dispatch to the "Lokal
anzelger" from Teheran, dated Wednesday, mid
night, says
"The bombardment here to-day lasted for an
hour and a half Bombs «r«n again thrown,
and the Cossack artillery brought up two guns
and fired on the buildings at close range. The
house of Zahir-ed-Dowleh is in ruin?, the in
terior being entirely demolished. Looter? who
entered the house after the bombardment
smashed everything they could lay their hands
on. Hundreds of windows in the European
quarter were broken, owing to the concussion
from the firing, and one house was looted.
"The Persian soldiers were participants in th«
plundering and the storming of houses. the
object of which in many cases was simply to
gie an excuse for looting. The soldiers wera
permitted to load their booty on the gun car
riages and th.is transport it to their camp.
Everywhere throughout th« city to-day mobs
were fighting over the plunder, and the Cossacks
had a hard task to drive them out of the
streets. Eventually the Cossacks succeeded in
this, and toward evening, when quiet had been
partially restored, the Shah ordered the bazaars
to reopen; otherwise they would be bombarded.
"The heat here is terrific and the air pesti
lential. Many dead horses are still lying in
front of the Parliament Building, and probably
the corpses <>f men are under the ruins.
"The diplomatic corps announces that a state
of siege has been proclaimed. The situation is
serious, for although tho people hithertu have
respoot^d Europeans it is feared that lives of
foreigners will not be safe for long. Doubtless
further bombardments will occur soon. Many
refugees have fled to the British legation, and
the Shah, it Is said, is indignant that the right
of asylum has been accorded them there. Cos
sack cavalrymen guard the cntnnces to this le
gation.
"Heavy rifle firing reopened at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, after a quiet night and morning, but
there was little opposition on the part of the
l.eoj.le against the troops. The Cossack brigade,
according to eyewitnesses, fired on the wounded."
"The Times's" Teheran correspondent says
that troops are guarding the approaches to the
British Legation with orders to shoot all fugi
.tives seeking safety there. Two of the Nation
alist leaders, says the correspondent, were
hanged in the royal camp. Anxiety is felt as to
the fate of the others under arrest, despite the
Shah's verbal promise to spare their lives.
London. June t&. — The Daily MailVVcorre
spondent at Teheran telegraphing yesterday
evening (Wednesday) says:
"The ha/.aars were reopened tn-day. and fir
a time everything was quiet During the course
of the afternoon, however, the Cossacks began
bombarding some of the grandees' residences, in
which it was supposed opposition loaders had
taken refuge. As usual, looting followed the
bombardment. th Q populace helping the troops
to ransack the houses.
"A reign of terror prevails h«>re. and it is
not known how far the Shah is prepared to go
in the way of violence. He is now taking steps
to prevent an increase of the occasional terror
istic attacks on the Cossack patrols."
Teheran. June 24. — Sayyid Abdullah, the
president of parliament; Sayyid Muhammed and
many popular leaders and members of the An
jumans (political clubs), as well as several
newspaper editors, were arrested after yester
day's action, and thirty of them placed in chains
last night. Takizadeh. leader of the opposition,
editor of "Habdul Matin," and nine other editors
took refuge in the British legation.
The British and Russian representatives here
have requested the Shah to take immediate
steps to restore order, and have reminded him
that their governments would hold him respon
sible for any unfortunate incident that might
occur. The Shah in reply has given assurances
that everything possible will be done to prevent
further disturbances.

THE DATE OF NEW PENNY POSTAGE.
London. .Tune 21.— John B. Lonsdale, Conservative,
speaking In the House of Commons this after
noon, suggested that the data for the opening of
the penny postage service, between Great Britain
and America be changed from October 1 to the
'anniversary of American independence, as a token
of amity and good will."
Tost master Buxton said that this proposal al
ready had been considered, but that the Postmas

ed that for administrative reasons October 1 was
th« batt<tr date. Mr. Buxton added "The actual
date Is really of minor Importance; the arrange

fortunate Venezuelan Incident" are made without
bitterness, "The Daily Malt" says:
Cleveland will stand out in history a." nno who
achieved his popularity by Invariably placing the
interests of th* nation above those of classes, how
ever Influential.
"The Morning Post" in a highly laudatory edi
torial says:
Cleveland was one of the great men of his time.
He had Bismarck's strength and Bismarck's breadth
of view and more than Bismarck's honesty. As
President be did not lift a fln{r«.r for the Demo- j
