THE VENEZUELA INCIDENT
House Bill Appropriating 8100,000
- for Expenses of Boundary Commis
sion Beaches Senate.
SENATE CONSERVATIVE, BDI OUTSPOKEN
Monroe Doctrine Must Be Maintained
Scales Falling from John Bull's
' Eyes 'Recognizes that Amer
icans Are in Earnest.
Washington, Deo. 19. When the senate
met at noon the clerk of the house an
nounced the passage by the house of the
bill appropriation $100,000 for the ex
penses of a commission to investigate the
boundary between British Guiana and
Venezuela, which was recommended by
' the president. ,..-..--.
The vice president immediately laid it
before the senate. : '
Senator 8herman moved its referenoe
to the committee on foreign relations,
but in the absenoe of Senator Morgan,
chairman ot the foreign relations com
mittee, Senator Cookrell requested that
Senator Sherman withdraw his motion
until the arrival of the senator from Ala
bama. This was done.
When Senator Morgan arrived, a few
minutes later, the honse Venezuelan bill
waB laid before the senate again.
- Senator Morgan moved to refer it to
the committee on foreign relations and
was supported by Senator Sherman.
Both senators made speeohes support
ing the president, bat protesting against
haste.
PLAIN TALK IH THE SENATE.
Senator Bhertnau expressed the belief
that there would be no war and that the
matter would be adjusted peaceably.
Senator Lodge, Repnblioan, of Massa
chusetts, said that he was not in haste,
but he thought the time for the commit
tee to report should be limited, and gave
notice of an amendment providing that
the commission report by April 1. Be
did not think that the Monroe doctrine
could be upheld as a proposition of in
ternational law, but he believed it should
be supported as we supported the declar
ation of independence, beoause it was our
tlootrine.
TBK TALL SYCAMOBB SPEAKS.
Senator Voorhees took ground in favor
of immediate action. Great Britain took
five months to say that she would not ar
bitrate. He thought we shonld not make
any further delay, but should appoint a
commission to see what belonged to Great
Britain and give her that and no more.
He did not believe there was any danger
of war, but thought the dignity of the
United States demanded that we should
ant without further delay.
Senator Allen, Populist, of Nebraska,
objeoted to a second reading of the bill,
which would oarry it over until to-morrow.
In a short speeoh be said that be
did not expect there would be any war.
He thought that the amendment pro
posed by Senator Lodge meant that there
would- be more of a political war than
anything else.
Senator Hawley, Republican, of Con
necticut, said it was not so much a case
of war as of information. No one knew
what the faots were. Great Britain her
self does not know. He wanted the bill
referred because it was the dignified and
proper way. Amendments could then be
considered.
BEMATOB TELLEB HEARD VBOH.
Senator Teller said that congress should
support the president. He never ex
pected to see a president who would not
uphold the Monroe dootrine. As Ameri
can dootrine it was not international law,
but faots were what were now wanted to
learn if the dootrine fitted the present
case.
Senator Teller held that there was no haste
in the matter. The boundary question
was one of long standing and Great Brit
ain was taking no extraordinary steps in
regard to it. He did not care then if the
committee took a month to consider the
bill. No impression of the solidarity of
the United States would be given to the
world by unduly hurrying. He was not
in favor of war. A war between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain would be the
greatest struggle sinoe the days of Alex
ander, and any one familiar with the con
ditions to-day must know it would be a
universal war. In his judgment there
would be no war over so trivial a ques
tion. SENATOB MOBOAH WANTED BILL" BBIEBBBD.
At the conclusion of Senator Teller's
speeoh Senator Morgan said he would
, like to have the bill referred to the
foreign relations committee, but unless
objection to its second reading was with
drawn it would have to remain on the
table until to-morrow.
,' Senator Allen's objection was not with
drawn and so the bill, goes over till to
morrow. Senator Morgan said that there was a
resolution relating to this general sub
ject before the committee of foreign re
lations and he intended to oall a meeting
of the committee to-morrow to consider,
not only this bill, but also the resolution.
As the matter stands no action oan be
taken on the bill until to-morrow.
MealS) Vailing from John Bull's Eyes
London. -In commenting to-day on the
Tenesuelan question, the newspapers gen
erally agree that the situation is more
serious than they thought yesterday.
In the publio mind also there is a gen
eral feeling of disappointment at the ac
tion of congress in supporting President
Cleveland. ::
The stook exchange here and exchange
throughout the country continue under
the influence. 1 At the same time there is
no excitement. -
. Consols declined a , foreign funds
were weak and all American and Can
adian stooks were lower on continued

"SUOB CMPAEALLBLBD DIOTATIOE."
The Glove a newspaper supposed to be
on terms of intimacy with the govern
ment, gives oat a warning that Great
Britain will remain Arm, saying: "Pres
ident Cleveland may appoint- a dosen
commissions, bat England will remain
firm iu bar refusal to reoognise them and
jurisdiction of this sort. This is our un
alterable position, be the eonssqusneee
what they may. We will never submit
to sueh unparalleled dictation." .
- rBEHOEf PBBSS SUPPOBTS BBOLAMD.
Paris. All the newspapere, whioh com
ment to-day upon President Cleveland's
message and the subsequent action of the
United -,' States congress, support the
stand taken by Great Britain and pro
tect that Monroeism is not and can not
be principle of international law.
The Beiekle says: "Applying the doe
trine raises an interesting question, not
: only for Great Britain, but for the other
European powers, whioh ought to unite
in the oommon defense."
President of Veuecnela Pleased.
New York. A dispatch to the Herald
from Caraoas, Venezuela, says: fa an in
terview on President Cleveland's mes
sage, transmitted to the Dotted States
congress, President Crespo said that he
was preparing a personal letter of thanks
to President Cleveland.
He added: "The attitude of Venezuela
and her executive head npon the boun
dary question of Gniana will always be
one of self-proieotion. The republio will
uphold tbe rights that properly may be'
long to her at all hazards. President
Cleveland and I were both as one in los
ing and in regaining power, and certainly
It seems as it we were one In destiny and
action," - .
PRESIDENT DIAZ DECLINES TO TALK.
Mexico City. President Diaz, in an
interview on President Cleveland's mes
sage. said: "While l am, of coarse, a
partisan of the Monroe dootrine, properly
understood, 1 do not think 1 shonld give
the press an opinion on its application
to the question pending between Great
Britain and Venezuela."
Expressions of Opinion.
Washington. Senator Davis, Repub
lican, member of the committee on for
eign relations, said:
"I think the president has risen to an
opportunity, such as has not been pre
sented to any president in many years.
In language of great dignity, power and
aoouraoy, he has stated the Monroe doo
trine as understood by the American peo
ple for seventy years."
Senator Teller, Republican: "The
concluding words have tbe American
ring."
Senator Gorman, Democrat: "It is a
warlike dooument and a very vigorous
statement. Of oourse much depends upon
what the commission, which we are to
send to Venezuela, shall report."
Denver. Tbe Republican editorially
commends the president for upholding
tbe Monroe doctrine, bnt eavs the plan
is not feasible. It wants to know how a
commission euuld enter disputed terri
tory to make an investigation, and if it
be the dnty of the United States to whip
one or both parties into compliance if
the decision of the commission was re
jected. London. All the morning dailies yes
terday devoted much editorial space to
Cleveland's message. All take the posi
tion that the American demand is absurd,
and that Et-gland shonld fight rather than
recede from her position.

Washington. 19. The president
to-day made a response to the senate res
olution of December 1, asking for in
formation received by the state depart-
m nit respecting affairs in Turkey.
Tue response is in ths shspe of a re

bnt not including official correspondence,
and beginning with the massaores ' at
Moosh on August 1891.
In substance the secretary's report re
counts all that has been done to protect
American citizens against rioters; shows
that, while their property has suffered
in two instances, they have not been in
jured in person; quotes Minister Terrell
as estimating the number of Armenians
killed at 60,000, and, after citing several
cases wherein naturalized Americans had
been oppressively treated, states that
proper steps had been taken to seouro in
demnity in all cases, and to proteot onr
naturalized citizens in their treaty rights.

GREAT PLACER PROPOSITION
Manager Nettieton, of the Santa Fe
Placer Company, a Visitor in
the City.
MILLIONS IN GALISTEO PLACER FIELDS
Headquarters of Company at Cerrillos
Preparing to Patent Claims
Plans of Company Satisfac
tory Tests.
Mr. F. E. Nettieton, general manager of
the Santa Fe Plaoer Mining company,
with headquarters at Los Cerrillos and an
office in Kansas CJty, arrived in Kanta Fe
yesterday morning from the east. His
business here was to arrange with Surveyor
General Essley for the ' survey of the
plaoer grounds of his company on the
Galisteo river with a view of patenting
the twenty claims looated and being
worked by hiirr and his associates. He
left for Cerrillos last night and will be
gin surveying in a few days. About
600 acres are included in the twenty
olaims.
SIDING W1LI, BB PUT IN.
Besides starting work on the surveys,
Mr. Nettieton will meet Supt. Hurley and
nn engineer of the A., T. & S. F. railroad,
at Cerrillos to-morrow for the purpose of
laying out a side-track to the placer
fields. This is needed at an early date in
order ' that the machinery may be
quickly and cheaply transferred to the
ground.
Mr. Nettieton says that the investiga
tion and tests he has made during the
past year prove beyond doubt that the
greatest gold placer proposition in the
world is presented on the Galisteo at
the ontlet of the gnlohes and arroyos
leading down from the gold-ribbed Ortiz
mountains.
TESTS SO FAB MADE.
The tests so far made show that the
sand and gravel on the claims looated
run from $1.19 to $6.12, or a general
average of $4.09W per cubic yard in gold,
and these results have been obtained
from sutface rather than bed-rock work
ings. Mr. Nettieton is sanguine that the pock
ets and crevices in the irregular sand
stone bed-rock, which he describes as
"gigantio riffles in a gigantio sluice,"
will prove very rich.
THE OBOUNDS WILL PAY.
But, even if the grounds do not yield
more than $1 per cnbio yard, the propo
sition will pay well, as the Nettieton
plaoer mining machine will handle 1,000
cabio yards of the deposit every twenty
four hours. Details regarding the plans
of the company and the method of pro
cedure adopted are given below: ,
APPLIANCES ADOPTED.
The Santa Fe Placer Mining company,
operating at Los Cerrillos, nnder the
management of F. E. Nettieton, expects
to begin the erection of its plant, which
will cost about $12,500, in the early
spring, or as soon as the weather will
permit of economical work. The plan
of operation is to raise the material fill
ing tbe bed of the river by a steam
bucket dredge of great capacity, and
whioh will be capable of digging to a
depth of forty feet below water-line. It
is calculated that the depth of the deposit
will average about thirty feet, with
possibly depressions of greater depth,
and the ladder of the dredge will be con
structed to reach the bottom of any of
these not exceeding forty feet in depth.
As the material is penetrated by the
sub-flow of water to bed-rook, the suotion
pipe of a six-inch centrifugal pump will
be extended down the dredge ladder to
within twelve inches of the lowest point
reached by the buckets. . The action of
this pump will not only bring up the
neoessary water for sluicing, but it will
also, in a measure, bring up each ma
terial as the buckets may have left on
the bed-rock, and very likely will clean
small pockets in the rook that the
buckets are unable to reaoh. This idea
of running the section pipe to that
depth, and for this purpose, is believed
to be new.
TBS BLACK SAND WILL BE SAVED.
For gleaning the gold the plant will be
provided with sluice boxes, grizzly and
soreens, burlap sluices, a magnet for ex
tracting the black sand, and amalgam
plates for catohing the flour gold. The
material will have been screened to a one-sixteenth-inoh
mesh before being pnt on
the plates. All coarse tailings will be
dropped by gravity behind the dredge,
and fine tailings will be oonveyed a con
siderable distance further aft by the use
of an eighth-inoh centrifugal pnmp.
When it is taken into consideration
that the average assay of the material is
over $4 per oubio yard, it is thought that
by the use of the amalgamating devices,
as outlined above, a large percentage of
the assay value will be saved. It is also
thought that by saving the black sand,
or so-called magnetio iron, quite a profit
will be derived from that source, ns it
undoubtedly carries with it muoh gold.
- The accepted theory has been that the
gold is oarried by this blaok sand simply
by abrasion. The manager has received
information that by a new treatment this
magnetic iron has given a result of $2,000
per ton, after all the free gold that could
be discerned by magnifying glasses was
removed, this sand oomicg from New
Mexioo. Should this information bs ac
curate it will upset the theories hereto
fore held. Mr. Nettieton is investigating
the matter and will have some of the
black sand from the property treated by
the new process.
This black sand or magnetio iron is
fonnd in great abundance on the prop
erty of this company on the Rio Galisteo.
If this sand should prove to be anything
like as valuable as above stated, there
oertainly are "millions" in this property
by the saving of this gold-besring sand
in addition to the free gold whioh the
material contains in surprising quantity.
Important to Life Insurance Agents.
Before making contracts for 1895, it
will psy you to correspond with S. H.
Newman, general sgent st Albuquerque,
N. M., of the Mutual Life Insurance com
pany of New York. His "agency em

tic. From A. V. Garciu, of Pena Blanca, the
Citizen learns of the bold robbery of
three miners' cabins in the Peralta min
ing distriot Monday last. The owners had
been hard at work all day and when they
returned at 1:30 o'clock to prepare dinner
and supper they found their cabin doors
either burated in with some heavy instru
ment or the looks broken off. All their
grub, underwear, blankets, quilts, cloth
ing and even their hats had been carried
off. The cabins broken into end robbed
belong to Fred Hellweg, George Ostrand
er, Felipe O'Bannon and Antonio Garcia.
With hungry stomachs and blood in their
eyes, the four miners took up the trail
which led them over the mountains to
ward Cochiti. The traoks indicated that
the thieves were three Indians. The
night was pretty stormy and snow was
falling bnt that did not deter the pursu
ing party. They expressed themselves
determined to proceed to Cochiti and
search every house iu that pueblo to find
their goods, unless they overtook the
thieves on the trail. This is the third
time that their cabins have befti robbed.
They will appeal to Gov, Thornton to
have the depredations stopped and in the
evert that they receive no protection
through his intervention with the gov
ernor of the pueblo, any band of Indians
found prowling around Peralta. canon
