WILL HELP AMERICA.
Venezuelan People l»e. li»re Commercial
War Ajjaiii't Knsluml.
Caracas. January 21.—The press and
people of Venezuela have declared com
mercial war against England. The
newspapers publish daily this notice in
display type:
“To the People—Whoever buys Eng
lish products increases the power of
Great Britain.”
There is a bright outlook for Ameri
can trade.
President Crespo is releasing many
'
nounces that Carlos F. Palacios. Peddo
i.opt z Fontaines, and Gen. Jose Aroste
gui are released because they are depu
ties and congress is soon to meet. Mar
tin Pelez, the brother-in-law of ex-Min
B rer Matos, is also free. I his action of
the President is applauded.
Nothing further has been heard from

London. January 21.—Whatever may
be the sensational reports in America
about the destination of the flying
squadron, they are the merest conjec
ture. Not even the admiral will knew
his destination utrii he opens 'his in
s> ru’ticns iwhen pacing finally to sea.
The will reports apparently current! in
Atncr: i and c.’.Ol* l back here about its
- liliae point b i:;g Bermuda, or having
reference to eith-r Venezuela or Cuba,
are d nounced by the authorities here
as most mis hievon- fabrications. Stch
a s' ;> on tut part of the British admir
al: v. p is fully recognized, would be
tintamounC to an act cf hostility to the
United istai-a.
No authority here cart understand
what is meent by the cable repart that
Great Britain has made a demand on
Spain for'the revenues of Cuba to pay
thi* outs inding claims of investors in
Spmish bonis. Doubtless there ar»
such investors in England, but the
willies': imaginings could not conceive
of the British government intervening
•by such a method to enforce the pay
'll nt cf .he leh- ta British subjects.
Th r. again, would m;an war with the
United States, if not with the whole
civilized world.
Th • flying epuadron doubtless hjs
fulfill'd its mission in serving notice
that Great Britain is in readiness to
nre- any emergency. It may not sail
one hundred miles b yon i these shores.

OIL NEWS.

Special to the Register.
Sistersv:He. January 22.—tAn oil man
las. evening was shewing an oil map c!'
| the fitjj cn the Ohio side of he river.
II: has be n all over the ground and
was familiar (With each farm from here
to Marietta. He says that the whole
1 country from here to Marietta is prac
[ tically und r lease with good monthly
rentals. Of course there are a number
j cf farms no: und r lease, but there is
I practically a continuous line of leases
from here to .Marietta. 1' takes a good
big pile of money to carry so much land,
but the land is htdd by hundreds of dif
reren men, and m.tk s the tax compar
a iveiy light. No one can give any
good reason for this star? of things, but
it is ‘rue.
The Victor Oil Company wifi com
mence building a rig for a well on the
Thomas Smith farm near Centerville
the latter part of the week.
The Sough Penn has made two loea
j tions this week ntar Centreville. and
will ere:-: rigs at once. One of the wells
i is located on the Andrew Seek man
! farm, a short distance east of the Fur
be* well, and the omer one is on the
John Set-toman farm a little south of the
Furbee.
Tier? haver been quite a number of
locations made on the southwest side
of Indian, ere k by persons holding ter
I ritory in that section, and the rigs will
be built at once. These locations ex
tend from Centreville ,:o » Braden’s
pump station, a distance of eight miles.
A practical oil man came in this
morning from the John Buliman well,
near Wick Postcffice. owned by the Vic
tor Oil Company. He sai 1 that he had
been a: the Buliman well for two cr
three days and had taken an actual
gauge of the well, and that in twenty
four hours It had made exactly 4S0 bar
rels of oi! a day. that this was not guess
work, what an actual gauge shows.
Judging from /ae location of the Bull
man frem the two wtfls on th? Anthony
Smith farm, he producers gaiess t-hat
the pool of oil opened up the Buliman i
strike will run northeast and southwest. |
The drill alone, however, can tell this. j
The P tllman w 11 fl aws regularly as
clock work and has no salt water in it.
The runs of the Eureka Pipe Line
Company for the twenty-four hours
ending his morning at seven o’clock,
were 15.667 barrels.
Craig. Hann & Ramey’s well on the
J. R. Boles farm, out on Middle Island
cr- ek. was drilled twenty in the sand
yesterday, and last evening was tfia-king
a big let 6f salt water and very little
oil. I: is thought, the well will not
amount to anything.
There is another important well due. I
W< •! from this evening was that they
were drilling in the lime and expected
to reach the Big Injun sand -to-morrow
sometime. The well is on th? James
Fox land, about half way between the
Ky! - and Buliman well, on or near the
waters of Snncho creek. If it also
should come in a gusher it would look
a g-. at d ?al as if an oil fWd about fif
teen miles long, and no on? would know
hew wide it would be had it been open
ed :h:re in our c-wn county. .
Contracts were closed in this city
last night for the drilling of two wells
near the Buliman well, in the Wick
field.
Some people used to predict that this
oil Held would be a second Bradford
pool. Now they reverse the order and
pav the Bradford field was seeond to
i be Sis.ersvtlle field. Sistersville will
lead.
Word was received from the Kyle well
this morning to the effect that the
well was doing in the neighborhood of
twelve barrels a day and had been mak
vc that amount for the pa9t two or
three day9.
McGuire * Go. are rigging up at their
well on the Thorn farm, out on Middle
Island, to the north of the Morris, and
will comcnce drilling in a couple of
day 9.
Special to tire Register.
Parkersburg. W. Va.t January 21.—
Info mat ion comes from the Eureka
tbM that despite the bad luck of late
1 n that field the operators are making
locations in that vicinity. Experienced
operators claim that there is a pool of
considerable dimensions 'hereabouts.
t«ov, r & Caldwell have made a location
| ,*;oo feet north of the Big Jim and will
: l • gin drilling as soon as the machinery
is up.
Yesterday the Roe & Co. well, on the
Hammett, 1.0U0 teet w of the Big
lim ; n l on a level with It, was 1.675
feet withr t a sign of oil. gas or Berea
s>nd. and d tiling in a dark slate. The
IP . len & Mackey well, on the Ruck
man, 1.000 feet south of the Big aim.
was"past 1.700 feet and in the black
I slate, without a sign of anything.
| The Union Oil Company well on the
Ke*:er. 'feet east of the Braden. \v;v.«
! past 1.700 feet and had no sign of any
thing, not even the sand. 1 he McTag
gart well. 1.500 feet southwest of the
Big Jim. was 1.750 feet and drilling in
the slate. It is 800 feet west cf the
Ruckman, which came in no good last
week. This state of affairs casts a
shadow over the field from which so
much was expec’ed. The Roe, Kester
and Braden wells are all thought to
be plenty deep enough. The MeTaggart
well will stand another huudred feet
before it will be condemned. All the
veils will go deeper before giving up the
j hunt. In the meantime the Big Jim, in
[ the center of these dry holes, goes on
uninterrupted at an actual output of
200 barrels a day.
The shallow pool in the Waverly field
its still holding out and keeping up iho
good record already made by the field.
The field is rapidly encroaching upon
Valley Mills, and all developments in
that direction are repaying operators.
Several deep wells now being drilled in
the field, will soon decide whether or
not there is anything in the Big Injun
or Berea sands.

AMBITION OK RHODES.
His Purpose Was the Establishment of a
New Empire.
London, January 21—The extraordin
ary mystery of the proceedings in the
Transvaal is not solved by the daily
dispatches. The futility and the bloody
ending of the obvious plot, in spite of
months of preparation by men of proved
ability? are as inexplicable to-day as on
the morning Jameson crossed the bor
der.
But the Times gives the first real
note in the English press of the convic
tion everywhere in well informed cir
cles in Ixmdon that Rhodes's ultimate
aim was the establishing of the United
State's of South Africa with Cecil
Rhodes as dictator, or a nineteenth
century Washington, if you will. The
bitterness of the South Africa republic
or of the Orange Free State against
Great Britain would disappear with
their comon independence and state au
tonomy, as it did in the United States.
The Times’s Transvaal correspondent
cables that that conviction now is uni
versal in the Transvaal, and quotes
Gen. Joubert as saying that “Rhodes's
plan was to blot out the little spots on
the map of South Africa, the Orange
Free State and the Transvaal, and to
make not a British, but a Rhodes em
pire, out of South Africa.”

A THEATER TRAGEDY.
Forty-Nine Roillos Taken From the ltuins
of a Iturned liulldlng.
St. Petersburg, January 21.—A dis
patch from Ekaterinoslay, • capital of
the government of that name in Sau.<h
Russia, gives the details of a lire that
occurred in a theatre there, causing
less of life. The fir? was discover? i
while a performance was going on. The
spectators became panic-stricken^ and
made a rus.ii for the exits. Many of
thorn were knocked dawn, trampled un
der foot, and rendered unconscious. Be
fore all ih? terror-stricken people could
get outside the theatre was a mass of
flames.
The scene outside was terrible. Those
who had relatives or friends in the the
atre rushed about crying for help to
save them. Every .effort was made tosave
those in the burning building, but the
heat was so intense that for some .time
i: was impossible to approach the struc
ture.
For y-nine bqdies wc-e taken out. A
number of persons who are known to
have been in the theatre are a:ill miss
ing. and there is scarcely a doubt that
their bodies will be feund later in tho
ruins.
