LOOKING TO NICARAGUA
Japan Desires to Secure Treaty With the
Canal Country

Canal Country
TOXIC, Japan. May 12.-The recent
achievements of Japan have. led her to
turn her attention to securing treaty
with Nicaragua in which she would Sc
cure marked privileges in the Nicaragua
canal. The subject has been under con-
sideration at Washington between DIR.
Guzman, representing Nicaragua. and
representatives OF Japan. At one time the
basis of the treaty seemed to have been
reached. DIR. Guzman feared, however,
the United States might have cause to
object to seeing privileges accorded to
Japan. This objection was met by the
representative Of Japan by proposition
that japan should receive the same privi-
leges as the countrie with which Nicara-
qua has ureatie, except the United States,
it being expressly recognized the United
States is entitled to superior advantages
because of the proximity to Nicaragua.
The negotiations stopped at thi point and
the treaty as yet has not been concluded.
nor is it being further urged for the rres
ent although no doubt exists among
officials that satisfactory treaty will be
made giving Japan privileges in the canal
commensurate with her growing power
as military and commercial nation.
WASHINGTON. May 12.-The Toxic
cablegram statIng that Japan has her
new and important phase of the canal
question in which the United States las
taken sucn a vital interest.
Thus far the United States has regarded
Great Britain as the only dangerous COM
petitor for the use or control Of the canal.
Now Japan interest in the canal pre-

China promise to make her prominent

PRESIDENT CRESPO'S POLICY
Great Demonstration in Support o.
the Executive
The Venezuelan Congress is Giving Its nain
Attention to Perfecting .
New Law Code
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Recent ad-
vices reaching the Venezuelan legation
tell of a popular demonstration at Caracas
in which 10000 people gathered to the
support of President Crespo's policy. The
demonstration centered at the 'Yellow
house, which is President Crespo' s
official residence, similar to our White
House.
The gathering represented all political
parties and was meant as II ratification OF
the presidents course in oblterating
party lines and forming cabinet from all
the political elements and parties in ex-
istence, the purpose being to harmonic
all factions in common line of action.
The result has proven very satisfactory
as the demonstration indicates. 1t is
said to have no direct bearing on the
British-V Venezuelan question further than
in showing the harmony and strength of
the Crespo administration on all cues
tions of public policy. The Venezuelan
papers are printing with much favorable
comment the recent expressions OF the
American press on the British Venezuelan
question. The government is disposed,
however. not to keep up a ferment OH the
matter.
The Venezuelan congress, now il ses.
sion, is giving its main attention to per.
fecting the law code patterned after the
Napoleonlc code which prevails through
out all the states of Venezuela. No tariff
or financial bills have been introduced.
as Nenezuela's condition on both these
questions is said to be very satisfactory.
She has the gold standard. with the Boil
ivar. named after the Liberator. her
standard coin. 1t is made of both gold
and silver. but the former dominates and
makes the standard for both coins.
There is also a satisfactory paper cur
rancy. guaranteed by the banks, some
thing like the proposed state bank cur
rency in the United States, but NOT re-
deemed or guaranteed by the Venezuelan
government. 1t has proved safe, how
ever, and has not been the cause of the
panic or depression.
