nave the honor to report that a question
which may interest United States mer-
cnauts has arisen as to the construction of
articles twenty and twenty one of the de-
cree closing the port of Maracaibo, c.. c.,
for foreign commerce. The decree was er-
closed IN my No. So. Article twenty pro-
vldes tnat any vessel despatched from the
United States or from Europe within thirty
Gays from the promulgatio of the degree
may discharge and reload with the pro-
dEcts OF the country at Maracaibo .San
Carlosl. Article twentycne provides that
the decree shall take effect at San Carlos
from the date OF its publication there,
saving the lapse OF time given by article
twenty, to the vessels engaged in foreign
commerce literally keeping in view the
lapse, etc
endeavored N vain TO Obtain an official
construction of this clause in time for the
steamer, but / have only now received an un-
otnclal statement of the Minister of Foreign
Relations that. in the opinion Of the Min
ister of Revenue, the thirty days begin to
run, for vessel coming to Maraoaibo, from
the date Of the publication of the decree at
Maracaibo. The decree was published here
or March 10. 1t was published much later
at Maracabo; probably as late as March 26.
and the question may become of practical
interest, because it is quite possible that
vessels may sail from the United States
thirty days after March l6 without having
had notice of the decree
Since writing the above, I have received
from the Minister OF Foreign Relations az
assurance that the government will abide
by the favorable construction herein stated

How the Compulsory Schooling Act i.
Enforced,

The entire machinery of the compulsory
schooling act IS now in regular working
order The superintendent of truancv and
his eight assistants are daily engaged in
gathering into the schools the little truants.
The 'truant agents first receive from the
principals of the schools postal cards, aver
aging tive: daily, giving the names of the
children who are either occasionally or reg
ulariy absent from the schools. Each of
these cards averages ten names. The agent
then calls upon the parents of the absentees
to ascertain the cause of such absence, and
finds IN number OF cases that the children
have been sent to school. and are playing in
the streets. Some are kept home either by
sickness or to take care of smaller children
while the mother goes out washing. The
principal cause, however, is sickness, two
thirds OF the cases being throat diseases
Some of the children can not be found at
all. If the agent finds = boy in the street
he asks the boy why he is not in school, and
II he gives no satisfactory answer his name
Is recorded IN the agents book. The agent
then visits the boys mother or father, and
If they promise to send the child to scho 0I
the agent goes his way.
The agents say that in all cases they are
received by the parents in the most cordial
manner, they being very anxious that their
children should go to school. IL the case
OF a boy promising to 60 to school, the
agents see that he does 60 Where boy
IS habitual truant a warrant TOR his ar
rest is applied for, and he is taken before
police magistrate, where evidence is put IN
by the board Of education through the
truant agent. The culprit, 8 found
guilty, is sent to Randall's Island or to the
care of the Society for the Reformation of
Juvenile Delinguents on Randall's Island,
and is kept there during the pleasure of the

Of making?
Then try JURUBEBA, the wonderful tonic
and invigorator, which acts so benefcially on
the secretve organs as to impart vigor to all
the vital forces.

and gives such a healthy tonic to the whole
system as to soon make the invalid feel like a
new person.
