Minister Before Making Threats.
Coast Defense Guns Being Made
Ready to Resist Invasion.
Caracas, Oct. 14.—"The revocation
,«f the decree of May 14 is demanded
jfci the most energetic manner—the
i^pvernment of Venezuela must from
jlhis moment without delay fulfill the
protocol of 1894 and not prolong the
Intolerable state of affairs which it
las created by the decree of May 14."
These are the words of the minister
foreign affairs of The Netherlands
ib his note in which he answers Ven
ezuela's communication telling of th«
Summary dismissal of Minister de
•ens from Caracas.
M. Van Swinderen, the foreign min
ister of Holland, began his reply to
President Castro by acknowledging
itbe gravity of the offense committed
to M. de Reus and saying that The
Wetfcer lands government would imme
diately have recalled him of its own
Initiative If it had seen tba offensive
publication, but that President Castro
'kad taken justice into his own hands
l|r violating international custom by
llimmarily expelliug the minister with
«Mt asking for his recall.
President Castro was away at Valen
cla when this note was presented by
Baron von Seckendorf, the German
Sinister, and he told Dr. Paul, his
fiireign minister, to acknowledge re
tfcipt and to await the second note
from Holland, whioh it was known
Was soon to arrive. This second note
fcas arrived, but because of General
tdustrc's Illness it has not as yet been
answered, although it is generally un
derstood here that Venezuela will not
give in to any of Holland's demands.
Holland Must Apologize.
Venezuela will take the stand that,
Until a satisfactory apology and in
4emnization is forthcoming from The
Hetherlands government for the ln
ftilliag letter of the late Minister de
peus and for the stoning of the Ven
"iteuelari consul by the Curacao mob,
Holland has no right at all to make
Sny demands of this country, espe
cially in the nature of those made in
Gie Dutch note, which interfere with
the right enjoyed by free nations to
Sbake their own commercial laws. It
|b very generally admitted in Caracas
W»at if the Venezuelan government
Wishes to have the transhipment of
fterchandlse for Maracaibo done in
jffenezuelan ports that it has a per
jlect right to do so, although Curacao
lHay be a sufferer thereby.
Although The Netherlands note asks
lor
the "immediate revocation" of the
^transhipment decree it has been re
fiprted that the second note fixes the
Ote ot Nov. 1 as the time when this
ifeust be done, thus giving the note the

JUDGE TAFT'S GAR
DERAILED IN YARDS
Train Moving Slowly at Time
of Accident.
Sterling, O., Oct. 14.—The first cas
ualty to the Taft special in all Its
travels occurred as the train pulled
onto a siding at this place. The front
truck of Judge Taft's car and the rear
truck of a Pullman just ahead of it
left the track. The train was coming
to a stop and the car of the candidate
did not move a length after the acci
dent. One of the journals of the truck
was cracked, but was pronounced to
be safe. The delay on account of the
derailment was just thirty minutes,
but this, added to the time which had
been previously lost, put the special
an hour behind in leaving Sterling.
The cause of the accident was ascribed
to the spreading rails of the siding on
which the special was moving in its
transfer from the Erie to the Balti
more and Ohio road. Mr. Taft made
his speech to the people of Sterling
while the railroad men were jmUiag
his car on the track.

Troops Now Under Arms Total 120,

Kept to the Colors Pending a Set
tlement of the Existing Situation.
Frontier Guards Warned to Avoid
Clash With Turks.
Sofia, Oct. 14.—"There Is no cloud
en the Bulgarian horizon" sums up the
tfflcial view in Sofia of the events that
have transpired since the proclama
tion of Bulgarian independence by
Prince Ferdinand Oct. 5. The govern
nient Is convinced that the chancel
leries of Europe will swing to a more
favorable view of Bulgaria's action as
soon as the danger of a general con
ilagratlon is over.
The troops now under arms, includ
ing the reserves recently called out,
reach a total of 120,000 men. They
will be kept to the colors for another
month ponding a settlement of the ex
isting situation. The guards on the
frontier have been given stringent in
structions to keep well within the ter
ritorial limits of the new kingdom and
to avoid clashing with the Turks.
The illness of Prince Boris, eldest
ton of King Ferdinand, 1b the reason
why the members of the royal family
were not present at the festivities in
Sofia in connection with the king's
triumphal entry into his capital.
Prince Boris goes under the title in
Bulgaria of czarevitch.
SHIFTS BACK TO BULGARIA
8«nria No Longer Danger Mot hi
Balkan Crisis.
Paris, Oct. 14.—Advices received
here from French official sources in
dicate that the danger point in the
Balkans has shifted back to Bulgaria.
While there is no confirmation of the
report that Bulgaria has delivered an
ultimatum to Turkey regarding the
recognition of her independence in
side of three days there is reason to
believe that Bulgaria is determined to
make a move on Turkey in case the
powers persist In their refusal to ac
cept her independence as an accom
plished fact.
It is believed here that if the Bui
garian army crosses the Turkish fron
tier Great Britain will land troops for
the protection of Constantinople.
GREAT BRITAIN'S ADVICE.
Turkey Told to Accept New Condi
tions if Compensated.
London, Oct. 14.—Foreign Secretary
Grey and M- Iswolsky, the Russian
minister of foreign affairs, spent the
day in telegraphic correspondence
with the capitals of Europe regarding
the forthcoming conference of the
powers to settle the Near Eastern
question. The details of this meeting,
however, have not yet been fully ar
ranged.
In falling in with the proposals of
M. Iswolsky Great Britain has acted
with the concurrence of Turkey. If
Turkey takes Great Britain's advice
she will accept the independence of
Bulgaria and the annexation of Bos
nia and Herzegovina as accomplished
facts and ask compensation.
SUIT WILL CHARGE LIBEL
Haskell Preparing to Begin Action
Against Hearst.
Kansas City, Oct. 14.—Governor
Charles N. Haskell of Oklahoma has
arrived here from Guthrie to consult
his attorneys with reference to a suit
that he says he intends to bring
against William Randolph Hearst,
charging the New York editor with
libel. The governor stated that he
had already placed the matter in the
hands of his attorneys and that the
petition would be filed by them when
ever they saw fit. The suit, he said,
probably would be brought in the cir
cuit court, but just when he was un
able to say. The case grows out of
the publication of the Standard Oil
story, the controversy over which led
to Governor Haskell's resignation as
the treasurer of the Democratic na
tional committee.

most improbable novels has developed

Edna Goodrich's former sweetheart.
