CASTRO GOVERNMENT
NOT YET RECOGNIZED
GENERAL CIPRIANO CASTRO.
/—^ ARACAS, Venezuela, Oot. 27.— The foreign Ministers met yesterday at the
American Legation and decided not to recognize the ' Castro Government
without Instructions from their respective Governments. President An
j drade has cabled from Barbadoes, where he arrived recently, to the com-
mander at Puerto Cabello, ordering him to defend the city against Castro
to the last extremity.
Coro and Maraoaibo have surrendered to General Castro. Order reigns her*.
General Clprlano Castro, the new President of Venezuela, Is only 36 years old,
but he has been in politics for a lons time. He was always one of the warmest
supporters of the Liberal party and took part in the war of defense during the
revolution that was lod by Crespo. That general d}d all he could to influence
Castro to his side, and even offered him a portfolio, but Castro could not be
persuaded to take it. The reverse, Indeed, was the fact, for Castro severely
criticised Creapo's administration. When Andrade's star began to rise Castro led
a movement ac-sunst him and CreSQO. After the failure of the "Mocho" Hernan
dez revolution the man who is now Prvfident successively defeated Morales and
Larrla and became the dominant military power in the country. With his new
success came hordes of followers, and Castro, after carrying numerous, towns, at
k the capital ltsplf. President Castro is a highly educated young man and
a "hard worker, but he is hampered by that explosiveness of character that is the
greatest handicap to the Latin race.
bo many gallant officers and soldiers have
fallen in the performance of their duty.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
I acknowledge with gratitude the liberal
provisions you have made to repay the
expenses of the military operations in
South Africa,
"My Ixirds and gentlemen. I trust that
the divine b>sslng may rest upon your
efforts and those of my gallant army to
restore peace and good government In
that portion of my empire and to vindi
cate the honor of the country."

CANNOT FORCE A TOWN
TO GRANT A LICENSE
Judge Buckles Benders an Important '
Decision in the Vieira License
Case.
SUISUN, Oct. 27.— Judge Buckles has j
' rendered *n important decision regarding j
ordinances governing the issuance of j
liquor licenses in municipal corporations '
of the sixth class. Joseph Vieira is a res-
Ident of Rio Vista and asked the court to
grant him a writ to command the Town
Clerk and Town Marshal to issue to him a
license to sell spirituous, malt or ferment- ;
ed liquors within said town in lesa quan- ;
titles than one pint. The officers r.efuFod ;
t" grar.t the license, as the petitioner had \
not complied with a certain town ordi
nance, which required any person desir
ous of conducting a saloon to present a
petition to the Board of Town Trustees
pig-ned by twelve resident freeholders re-
Biding upon the street on which the saloon
Is proposed to be opened.
Vieira made no effort to comply with
the ordinance. There were not twelve
resident freeholders residing upon the
Etreet. Vieira claimed this portion of the
ordinance was unreasonable and oppress
ive and void.
Judge Buckles said: "Our courts have
1 : i m effect that the sale of intoxicating
liquors is not to be classed as the sale of
Useful and beneficial commodities, but that
their sale may be prohibited. Rio Vista
could by ordinance prohibit the sale of in
toxicating liquors within the corporate
limits of the town. There is no inherent
right in any citizen to sell liquor by re
tall. The petitioner was not entitled to
the writ rued for and a demurrer against
the same is sustained."

TESTS OF MARCONI'S
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
Navy Department Officials Securing Ample
Proof of the Wonderful Work of
the System.
NEW YORK. Oct. JT.— Tho Navy Department continued its test of the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy to-day.
The demonstrations aro bein* mad© on the flagship New York and the battleship Massachusetts, in the North River,
off tho foot of Thirty-fourth atreat. The ships lay US yards apart and the demonstration was one of speed and ac
curacy. Code messages, u«!ng both the navy and the international Morse codes, were sent, besides numbers and let
ters selected at random. The largest continuous message wan a newspaper article of 200 words. In all, there were
six demonstrations and the work continued with intervals of preparation for about two hours.
Slgnor Marconi said he paid no attention to the apeed attained, aa the Navy Department waa more particular as to
the accuracy.
The equipment overhead consisted only of wires strung from the crossbeams o,f both vessels. On the New York tho ap
paratus was In the after gun room, and here Slgnor Maroonl did his work. On the Massachusetts the receiving and sending
was don© in the captain's office, where one of Marconl'B assistants was stationed. The clicking of the Instruments is vibrant
and could b« heard throughout either ship.
Of the Naval Board which supervised the tests, Lieutenant Commander Newton and Lieutenant Hill watched the work
on the flagship and Lieutenant Bllsh was on the Massachusetts. When the tests were concluded they held a conference on
the New York and compared notes. They will make a final report to the Chief of the Bureau of Equipment of the Navy De
portment.
It is expected that on Monday the New York and Massachusetts will cruise off Sandy Hook In order to make a long
distance test of the system. They may be away from the anchorage for several days. At times the vessels will be forty
miles from each other and this will be the crucial demonstration. If successful, it will prove how valuable the system would
be during a naval engagement or while a fleet Is blockading an enemy's coast. During tho long-distance tests the great guns
of the warships will be discharged as a further test.
None of the members of the Naval Board would give an opinion of the work done by Signor Marconi. Admiral Farquhar
watched the demonstrations for a time and Beemed greatly interested.

Trenches.
Special Dispatch to Tho Call.
MANILA, Oct. 23.— General Young's
column, which started yesterday morning
for Cabanatuan, seventeentmilesi north of
San Isidro, drove a force of rebels from
the trenches near Tuboatln River and
compelled them to retreat across that
stream. The fighting for a time was
brisk. The Americans lost two killed
and one wounded. Owing to the swift
current of the river, which is also very
deep, it was impossible to pursue the
enemy.
WASHINGTON", Oct. 27.— News was re
ceived at the War Department to-day of
the arrival of the hospital ship Relief at
Manila. She reported the disappearance
at sea between Guam and Manila of Lieu
tenant Robert D. Carmody, who went to
Guam with the Marine Battalion on the
Yusemlte, when Captain Leary was sent
out as Governor to take possession of the
island.
There are no details of the occurrence.
It appears that Lieutenant Carmody was
taken aboard at Guam, presumably sick,
and on orders home or else on a furlough.
It is thought possible that he may have
jumped overboard while delirious.
The War Department has received the
following from General Otis:
"The insurgent government submitted
application to send five commissioners to
Manila to arrange difficulties attending
the release of Spanish sick prisoners and
discuss peace conditions. It was declined.
No negotiations are necessary, as we
would gladly receive all Spanish prisoners
at our lines, welcome them from their
cruel captivity, and labor for their wel
fare. Correspondence by mail."
The Cabinet meeting lasted two hours
and a half, an hour longer than usual.
After the adjournment the members were
unusually reticent. -One member said the
President had cautioned them against
making any statement about the meeting
to-day. It can be stated, however, that
the discussion related to the Philippines,
and there is reason to believe that it was
in reference to military and naval plans,
which are to be placed in operation soon.
CRUISER DETROIT WILL
BE SENT TO COLOMBIA
Warship to Guard American Inter
ests During the Insurrection
in the Republic.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.— The State De
partment will request Secretary Long to
pend a man-of-war to Colombian waters,
and the Detroit will be ordered to proceed
either to Cartagena or Colon, probably
the former, which is the sea terminus of
the railroad connecting Cartagena and
Calamar. upon the Magdalena River.
This railroad was built and is owned
and operated by Bostnn and New York
capitalists. Private letters say the prop
erty is in danger on account of the insur
rection and that it would be advisable to
order, a war vessel to Cartagena to pro
vide necessary protection.
Consul General Gudger, at Panama,, re
ports that many arrests of liberals are
being made in' that city. Unrest prevails,
he adds, but no open discord. The Mar
blehead will soon be in cable communica
tion with the department and she will be
sent to Panama to guard that terminus
of the Trans-lKthmian railroad and the
Detroit will be used to protect American
Interests at Colon, as well as the road to
Cartagena.
JUDGMENT IN FAVOR
OF J. A. ROBERTSON
The American Capitalist Wins His
Suit Against Bondholders of
a Mexican Railway.
MONTEREY. Mexico. Oct. 27.— J. A.
Robertson, an American capitalist of
Monterey, formerly receiver of the Mon
terey and Mexican Gulf Railroad Com
pany, haa received official notice that
the higher Federal Court in the City of
Mexico has affirmed the decisions of the
lower courts awarding him a Judgment
of 5450,000 in gold against the Belgian
bondholders of the road, who are now op
erating the property. This large judg
ment is for money advanced and other
services performed in behalf of the com
pany by Mr. Robertson.
Mr. Robertson was the promoter of the
Syndicate of American capitalists- which
was recently organized in the United
States with a capital of $7,000,000 for the
purpose of dealing in Mexican railways
and mining properties. This syndicate
has already purchased the Monterey Min
eral Belt Railway and the rich San Pedro
mines, the latter being located near Mon
terey.

GENERAL RIVIERA
•
Clash of Officials at
Havana.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
HAVANA, Oct. 27.— General Rios Riv
iera, former Civil Governor of the prov
ince of Havana, whose withdrawal from
the Governorship was cabled last evening
as a resignation, denies that he has re
signed. He says he was dismissed and
that he does not know upon what grounds
the dismissal was ordered. He admits
that he recently remarked that he would
resign in the event that at least one out
of three nominations he had made to pub-
lie office was not approved, but he at
tributes his dismissal to the direct influ
ence of Senor Domingo Mendoz Capote,
Secretary of State In the Advisory Cab
inet of Governor General Brooke.
General Brooke, according to General
j Riviera, sent for the latter's resignation,
; which was refused.
Governor General Brooke, when ap
! proached regarding the matter to-day,
i said he preferred that any explanation
should be made by General Riviera hlm
i self. Senor Capote asserts that he re
j quested General xtiviera to resign because
: he was an obstructionist and out of har
mony with the administration, and that
General Riviera replied that he would
wait until he was dismissed, which was
decided upon immediately. There was no
objection, according to the Secretary of
State, to General Riviera holding certain
views as a private individual, but as a
i subordinate it was the duty of General
Riviera to carry out instructions and not
: to make himself an obstacle. There was
no other way to solve the problem, said
Senor Capote.
La Lucna.j. referring to the dismissal,
says: "The stole cause T*as the refusal or
General Riviera to allow cock-fighting, his
course in this respect -being contrary to a
previous order emanating from Senor Ca
i pote permitting It."
La Diseuslon says: "The occurrence
■ shows the lamentable lack of harmony
between prominent Cubans occupying
leading positions. The Government must
! have had exceptlon.il reasons for dlsmiss-
I Ing such a prominent man." .

MASON'S RESIGNATION
A POLITICAL MOVE
Many Important Changes Will Be
Made if He Carries Out
His Threat.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27.— The Herald will say
to-morrow: "Senator William E. Mason's
threat to resign unless the administra
tion's present foreign policy is changed,
according to the latest prophecy, may be
executed before Christmas. Persons who
assume to bo well informed insist that he
will step out immediately in pursuance
of an arrangement which will change the
whole face of Republican politics in Il
linois. The story, as widely circulated
yesterday, runs to this effect:
"Senator Mason will resign in a few
weeks to take a high-salaried legal posi
tion—sl2,ooo or more a year— with one of
the biggest corporations In the country,
having headquarters in Chicago. Governor
Tanner will then resign and Lieutenant
Governor Northcott, on succeeding to the
Governorship, will appoint Tanner to the
vacant Senatorship. With Tanner thus
eliminated from the gubernatorial situa
tion, Northcott can be made the "organi
zation" candidate for Governor next year.
The interests which are alleged to be
making Senator Mason their attorney at a
big salary, with a long term contract,
are interests which have a friendly feeling
for Governor Tanner's future."

R. J. Murphy, Acting Warden pending

not to hang Winters.
In view of these legal objections the

FLORENCE MARRYAT, THE
NOVELIST, PASSES AWAY
THE LATE FLORENCE MARRYAT.
LONDON, Oct. 27.— Florence Marryat (Mrs. Francis Lean), the well-known
authoress, died In London this morning.
Florence Marryat, the noted novelist, inherited her genius for literature
from her distinguished father, the late Captain Frederick Marryat of the
British navy- In her childhood Mis 9 Marryat was by no means happy, and
her unfortunate surroundings left a brand of melancholy upon her spirit which
never left her. Her father showed little affection for Florence and her sister.
It was his custom to place the two tots on the high mantel of his dining-room
while he and his friends feasted. Florence Marryat had a remarkable success as
a writer of stories, and. surpassed her father in financial returns from her
literary labors. She not only excelled as a romancer, but won high praise as a
singer and an actress. She was caught in the wave of spiritualism that over
swept London and the fruits of her thought on this subject are found in her
books "There Is No Death," "The Risen Dead" and "Spirit World." Her
stories have been rendered into half the languages of civilzation.
Miss Marryat married first Colonel Ross Church and then Colonel Francis
Lean. Among her works are: "Too Good for Him" (new edition, 1868),
"Woman Against Woman" (1865), "Confessions of Gerald Estcourt" (1865),
"Veronique" (1869), "Fighting the Air" (new edition, 1R78), "A Daughter of tha
Tropics" (1887). She also published "Life and Letters of Captain Marryat," two
volumes, in 1872.
In the case until December 8, by which
time, It is believed, a new Warden will
have been installed at the Folsom prison.
MERELY A CONSOLIDATION.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2T.— ln view of con
flicting atatements and various conclu
sions as to the primacy of either company
in the recent Pullman-Wagner merger
the exact conditions are stated as fol
lows:
Neither the Pullman company has ab
sorbed the Wagner nor the Wagner com
pany has absorbed the Pullman. The
two companies have simply amalgamated, j
retaining the Pullman organisation, how
riably tend to produce a habit of
body requiring constantly augmented
doses.
The excellence of Syrup of Figs is due
not only to the originality and simplic-
ity of the combination, but also to the
care and skill with which It is manu-
factured by scientific processes known
only to the California Fig Syrup Co..
and therefore we wish to impress on all
the importance of accepting the true
and original remedy only. When buy-
ing note the full name of the company
—California Fig Syrup Co.— printed on
the front of every package.
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup of Figs, figs are used, as they
ever, in preference to the Wagner, as the
Pullman is a stock company and tha
Wagner merely a business association
with no charter. The Wagner company
has four directors in the new Pullman
company and although the new jompany
may have the name of Pullman It will ls
equally as much Wagner as Pullman and
■will operate tin all the Vanderbilt lines.

are pleasant to the taste: but the me-
dicinal properties of the remedy are
obtained from an excellent combina-
tion of plants known to be medici-
nally laxative and to act most
beneficially.
As the true and original remedy
named Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, a
knowledge of that fact will assist in
avoiding the worthless imitations man-
ufactured by other parties. The high
standing of the California Fig Syrup
Co. with the medical profession, and
the satisfaction which the genuine
Syrup of Figs has given to millions of
families make the name of the com-
pany a guarantee of the excellence of
its remedy.
