NOT A PROTECTORATE.

United States Assumes No Responsibility
in the Venezuela Dispute.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The suspi-
cion in some minds that the Venezuelan
settlement will not prove as satisfactory
as it now appears is not warranted.
The fact of this government being
made principal in the arbitration,
while Venezuela is not interested in
the commission, is not to be interpret
ted as the establishment Of policy of
protectorate by this country over the
smaller republics of this continent. The
first contention of Great Britain was
that if the Monroe doctrine was recog-
nized it would bar foreign governments
from one form of redress for grievances
for damages inflicted upon any of the
great powers by these small republics,
and that therefore this government
would have to stand surety for the
good conduct Of the governments whom
we protect in their territory.
Mr.. Olney made it very clear that
! this government would not accept this
reasoning and that we would confine
ourselves to one proposition, that no
foreign power should establish domin-
ion over territory on this continent.
The Corinto incident served as an OBJ.
ject lesson to show where we draw the
line in the
Application of the Monroe Doctrine,
the application Of this doctrine leaving
it open to the powers to exact any form
of redress for damages save the one of
cession Of territory. This was made
very clear before the agreement on
| arbitration was reached and care was
taken by Mr.. Olney that action in this
case should not hereafter be interpreted
to mean that we assumed any RESPONSE
bility for our sister republics. In view
Of this fact the agreement of arbitra.
ton between Great Britain and the
United States is based entirely upon the
recognition Of our right to enforce the
Monroe doctrine. This government is
to be satisfied that Great Britain is not
taking possession Of territory BY force
which does not belong to her, and if
this fact is established orr part in the
contention will end. It will then make
i no difference whether Venezuela is sat-
isfed or not, nor will it matter what
4 steps England takes to enforce her
claims. On the other hand, il England
cannot make good her claims, Vene-
zuela will get the benefit Of our inter-
j ference in the matter.

ing Venezuelan controversy. The
treaty was concluded in Washington
Monday night at the British embassy,
Sir Julian Pauncefote representing her
Britannia majesty and Secretary Olney
the United States. Since the return of
Sir Julian from London three weeks ago
Negotiations Toward a Final Settlement
have been proceeding. Most of the
meetings were.of such an important
character that they were held either at
Mr.. Olney's residence or at the British
embassy, the two houses being but two
blocks separated. 1t happened that tho
concluding meeting was at the en-
bassy yesterday, and special interest
was given to it from the fact that Lord
Salisbury, the British premier, was to
make speech at Guild hall, London,
in the evening. It is the annual event
at which the premier usually takes
occasion to review the status of the
most important international questions.
For this reason it was desired, if pos.
sible, to acquaint Lord Salisbury of tho
final and satisfactory adjustment of the
Venezuelan question in order that he
might make such announcement as he
thought fit concerning it. When Sec
rotary Olney and Sir Julian
Reached Their Final Conclusions,
cablegram was at once dispatched to
Lord Salisbury, notifying him of the
result. It reached him withip one hour
of the time when he went on the plat.
form at Guild hall, and it was the basis
for his announcement to England and
to the entire world that the Venezuelan
controversy was settled
It was deemed to be best to make
the choice of King Oscar II as the fifth
or decisive arbitrator, rather than to
leave it to the selection of the other
four arbitrators.
The other essential feature of the
treaty is that so years actual possession
is to constitute title. With this imita-
ton as to the settled districts the entire
| sweep of Venezuela boundary is placed
| in the hands of the court of arbitration.
The treaty covers only Venezuela, and
the question of general arbitration be.
tween the United States and Great
Britain is left to future negotiations.

jury in the Police Court. Although legally

morally so. Although an Oaklander, Mr..
Highs newspaper experience was mostly
gained in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
1t was this that led him astray. Mr.. High
naturally concluded that the residents of
this city were like those of the northern
and southern metropolises and paid no at
tention to newspaper statements. Here it
is different. The value of reputation is
placed at a very high figure in Oakland
and when it is assailed all stand in for
mutual protection. Mr.. High thought he
had libeled only Mr.. Dingee. He discov-
cred that he had, in reality, libeled the

forced to go great distances to attend
school at either of those places. When
there were but few children the matter re-
ceived but little notice. Now, however,
the territory is rapidly becoming settled,
and the district voted bonds to erect a
schoolhouse that should be adequate to
the needs OF the territory for many years
to come.
During the past few years the Bella
Vista district has increased greatly in
population. For more than two years
there has been a standing complaint
against the lack of school facilities, but
nothing could be done until the taxpayers
dec ded to issue bonds. This was done a
few weeks ago and they are being eagerly
sought for by bond-buyers.
The plans provide for pretty little
building of four classrooms. 1t is rather
more ornam entail than the usual type o.:
country school and will be located about
midway between Niles and Decoto. 1t is
calculated that it VIII open with an at
tendance of about 100.
For the past year the majority of the
children who will attend the new school
have been attending the public schools at
Haywards, but the schools of that place
are now overcrowded and relief was per-
emptory.
There is a feeling of great satisfaction in
the Bella Vista district over the establish
ment of the new school, and it will doubt
less act as an additional incentive to at
tract residents TO the productive neig hbor-
hood. During the past few years the num-
ber of school children in the interior of the
county has largely increased, and several
districts will soon have to vote bonds for
additional accommodations.
Livermore has recently added greatly to
her school facilities and other towns are
about to follow suit.

of gaining their civil liberty. Just where
they celebrated or the hour is not known,
but it was before the hour of mic night,
when the noise of the frecrackers was
loudest.
Kelly and Martinson were prisoners in
the County Jail yesterday afternoon. To-
day they are where nobody can find them.
They cut their way out of their cell,
lowered themselves into the courtyard,
and, with the aid of confederates, escaped
over the wall to liberty. Both the men
are old-t timers and are known ali over the
State as burglars.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Martinson vis-
tied her husband and talked with him
through the wicket of his cell. She ap-
peared to be more distressed than ever,
and her devotion to her husband was par
ticularly noticeable.
What transpired after Mrs. Martinson
departed is told partly by the third occu-
pant and partly by the evidence of the
flight
After the woman went" said Frank
Wood, who was q cellmate of the escapes,
''they gave me some opium, and as | had
not taken any for long time [ took an
extra big dose and very soon l knew
nothing. When L woke up was the only
one left in the cell. L don't know when
they went. but it was about midnight
when I woke and they were gone. They
had pulled the blankets from under me
to make a rope"
The bars of the window, which are of
soft iron, were cut through with remark
able cleanness, showing that the BURGLARS
must have had some frst-class tools.
Outside the window are three heavy up
right bars and one of these was sawed
through and lifted inside the cell. The
blankets were torn into strips and twisted
into a rope, and with these the men
lowered themselves to the ground. Con-
federates must have been in waiting to
help them over the outer wall. a pillow
slip on the end of a string was found in
the room and it is supposed that after the
hole was cut through the window line
was thrown clear over the outside wall
and the bag containing rope ladder was
hauled into the cell.
1t is quite certain that Mrs. Martinson
supplied the connecting links of the con-
spiracy during her visit yesterday and
handed her husband the saws with which
the bars were cut. Indeed, there are
seven cuts through bars over one inch
thick.
The men were evidently experts at get
ting through small holes, as an amateur
could not possibly get through the aper-
ture. The hole in the window is broad
but of little height, while the outer hole,
between the upright bars, is narrow but
long. This necessitates man taking a
hali-turn in himself while passing through,
and this at a height of twenty feet from
the ground is attended with great risk.
The prisoners freedom, however, was
very brief. Deputy Sheriff Al White To-
cat, Mrs. Martinson this afternoon and
followed her. She led him to house in
San Francisco and both escapes were there.
With the assistance of an officer Al White
handcuffed the two men and tonight they
are back in the County Jail, having been
absent but twenty hours.
