Speculation Regarding the Policy Of
Secretary Olney
Opinions Expressed by the Officials at Cara
cas-0resham's Policy viii Probably
Be Pursued

NEW YORK, June IA special to
the World from Caracas. Venezuela, says:
Everyone is anxious to know what pol
icy Secret ry Olney will adopt concerning
this country and its quarrel with Eng
land. 1t was understood that the late
Secretary Gresham had promised to int
cede in behalf of Venezuela, asking Eng
land to submit to arbitration. as Lord
Granville had promised Guzman Blanco
in 1883 would be done, promise which
Salisbury afterwards refused to recognize.
A semi-otfic al telegram from Washing
ton says Mr.. Olney will follow Secretary
Gresham's policy and will furnish new
Interpretation of the Nor roe doctrine
which the latter had under study, cnlarg-
ing its scope.
Government officials say the govern
ment has been assured it will not have to
cede the territory between Essejubio and
Pumpabrima, on the Olinoco delta. in.
GLIDING the immensely rich mining reg.
ion lying back of it.
The presence of an American commits
sion in Nicaragua examining the canal is
pointed 10 as an indication that the
United States hereafter will take more
determined stand in favor Of the Amer.
lean republics as against Europe.
The police efforts to discover the auth
ors and crculators of a revolutionary
proclamation which has been freely cir
culated, directed against President
Crespo, were unavailing, though nineteen
arrests were made on suspicion.
The government is denying that there
is anything in the shape of revolution
imminent. though scarcely day passes
without report of new rebel attacks on
government troops.
WASHINGTON. June 17.-There is
reason to believe that the United States
probation on the Monroe doctrine as ap-
plicable to the requisltion OF an island off
the coast of Venezuela to be used by Ger
many for naval station. The attention
of officials has recently been directed to
the interests of Germany IN that locality
and there is apprehension that the sub
ject may assume quite as formidable an
aspect as that OF British aggression on
Venezuelan soil.
An enormous amount of German CAPT.
tai has been invested in Venezuela of late
under peculiar circumstances. The gov
eminent wanted railroad through rich
and productive valley and German syn
dictate stood ready to build the road on
condition that Venezuela would guarantee
7 per cent on the capital invested The
guarantee was given and the road built
and put into operation about eight m ontns
ago. At the outset it was supposed about
$4,000. 900 would amply cover the cost OF
the road, but the actual outlay reached
about IS. 600, 900. By the terms of the
government guarantee Venezuela now be-
comes responsible to the German syndi-

ten days was disbanded in this city last
night and an outfit of counterfe iting ma
terials captured but the showers Of the
queer slipped through the officers hands
Just when the latter thought it was i'm

far as known, there have been but two
men here; one of them, William Bennin-
ger, formerly lived in San Bernardino,
but now resides in San Francisco. He
had partner who is known to be an ex-

house of q relative and could easily have
been captured but for laundering. AS it
was, when raid on the house was
made this morning at 2 O'Clock. they had
taken the alarm and, it is supposed, are
on their way north.
A complete outfit of counterfeiters'
tools was found, including plates, COM

The tools were all boxed rea1y for ship
ment and were addressed to William Hill

THE INSURANCE WAR
Big Risks Taken at Low Prices d
Wheat

STOCKTON, June 17.-Insurance solic-
itors are taking grain risks at any rate
agreed upon with the farmers. One risk
written Saturday was for $4,000. and the
premium was $75. one-half the regular
rate. Agents say the cutting is confined
to one agency engaged IN taking business
to break the local association, but the
fact is that anxious solicitors are taking
anything they can get oP grain insur-
ance. Local agents are extending their
policies with PROVISIONS that they cannot
be cancelled. This is being done to hold
out business from the Auttng companies.

their courage and daring success
