The Features of Ventura's Successful
Fair

VENTURA, Oct. 12.-Todav is the last
the fair has been very satisfactory. There
was great deal of disappointment in
the to-have-been great race petween
Waldo j., Silkwood and Chehalis. Waldo
J. is a phenomenal horse, and being a
Ventura animal he is great favorite.
Up to Thursday afternoon the spectators
showed no more than ordinary enthusi-
asm in the races, but when Waldo j.
came on the track for the final heat of
the free-for-all pacing race the people in
the grand stand arose as by one common
impulse ana cbeered. But the race was
a walkaway for Waldo j. In the second
heat Oriindo Richmond was distanced,
but in the third heat, which was paced
in 2:i3%, Seymour Wilkes was close
second.
There was q strong i'm preston among
the people that Willets was afraid of
Waldo, and that for that reason alone he
did not start Silkwood in the race, but
and declared him unfit for the race.
When Silk wood came on the track for ex-
biibtion ne was greeted with mingled
cheers and Kisses. This made Willets
angry and he paced Silkwood at good
speed for a half mile to show what he
could do.
There are rumors ahoat to the effect
that Waldo J. is crippled, but that is not
true.
The favorite place for visitors is
Armory hall. where the Industrial ex-
hibits, the ladies' and children's exhibits
and the art exhibit are held.
Friday the entertainments was under
the direction of Professor II. f. Rollins,
the leader of the orchestra. The orones-

The CAUSE IS REVEALED
Of the Late Excited Dispatches
From Spain
A FORMAL NOTIFICATION
That Spain's Action 10 Cuba Violate
Treaty Rights
For Damage 10 American Property or to
American Dignity Spain viii Be
Held Strictly Responsible
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Oct. ia special to the
World from Washington says: The ex-
cited dispatches of yesterday from Ma
drid are explained by facts revealed here
today. What this government has done
has been to formally notify the Spanish
government that action recently taken by
it in Havana is in violation of the treaty
rights of this country. and that for any
damage to American citizens or Ameri-
can dignity arising therefrom Spain will
be held responsible.
The circumstances are as follows |:
Since Consul General Williams com PEELED
Captain Gen eral Callaja, while governor
general of Cuba, to recognize the treaty of
1887. in the case Of julio Sanguilly, and
by 81 doing prevented the trial OF the
later ty military court in Havana last
February, the Spanish government has
been restive over the question of Mr..
Will Jams diplomatic authority.
Senior Canovas, the Spanish prime min
lister after the subject was fully consid.
cred at the meeting of the Spanish min
istry, at which. he presided in person. de-
cided to deprive MI. Williams of all dip
lomatic authority and contine him strict
ly to the purely commercial or consular
privileges OF his office.
Secretary Olney straightway prepared
q state paper in which he disagreed en-
tirely with the conclusion of the Spanish
minister.
Tne treaty with Spaian specifies that
United States consular officers shall have
all the rights and privileges Of the most
favored nations. This affords the basis
for Secretary Olney's demand. The Ger
man government has consular treaty
with Spain ia which consuls and the
consul-general may act as diplomats il
circumstances demand. Secretary Olney
informs Senior Canovas that the United
States demands that nis government con-
cede to United States consuls and con-
suls-general the same privileges accorded
to those OF Germany. The language of
Secretary iOnley's dispatch is said to be
peremptory. Should an American cit
= izen be arrested at Havana and be sub.
jecteo to trial by court martial. or should
any case arise that calls for prompt
action by the consul-general, the refusal
of the local government to recognize him
Dlight lead to disastrous results.
A dispatch sent from the World to the
TO call on Consul-General Williams and
obtain statement from him on the
above subject. The following reply was
received:
Matter was submltte to Mr.. Will
liams. He declined to discuss the SUBJ
ject, on the ground that it was state
secret and that he was not at liberty to
speak aobut it. He admitted that Gen.
eral Canpos had informed him that b
would not henceiorth be recognized by
the government of the island in any
other than purely commercial and con-
sular matters"
