DOOM CASTLE 4 Romance. by Neii munro
19mo IN 3S5 Doubleday, Page & Co.
New-York tribune., 1901-08-11

Mr. Neil Munro. whose Doom Castle We re-
view to-day. will soon have another novel
printed. THE Shoes of Fortune.
New-York tribune., 1901-08-11

Mr. Munro has no grave lesson to teach he
writes simply TO amuse. Doom Castle is a
lively, romantic tale, dealing with the fortunes
of a gallant young Frenchman who visits Scot
land in search of spy. With that gentleman
he has double quarrel. Drimdarroch, the OBJ
ject of his quest had not only sold the Jacobites
to the Hanoyerians, and the latter to the former
but he had contrived TO injure Count Victor de
Montaiglon personally in an affair of the heart.
SO the count forsakes his smiling land and
dwels for a time in Doom Castle, a dOur keep,
in a bleak neiShbOrhOOd. He meets with sangui-
nary adventure on the way thither, and in Doom
itself he soon enjoys the excitement of peril
and mystery. The yarn moves along in true
Stevensonian fashion; indeed, both in substance
and in style Mr.. Munro approves himself a
clever follower of his famous cOuntryman. He
is clever enough to inspire hope that he may
some day do even better things. He invent
a most attractive romance, but in the denea
tion Of character he has still much to learn The
eccentric gentleman who presides over the house
of Doom is painted in too dark colors through
the earlier chapters for his brighter aspect tow
ard the end to be altogether plausible. and the
villain. on the other hand, is introduced as so

THE MOUTH.

According to a physiognomist, the lower
lip is the most important part of the mouth
as an Indicator Of character. According to
It's fullness, freshness IN appearance. ard

lip reveals a decided want of these quail
ties.
There are thick under lips that hang so
that they become almost a Disagreement,
and these. as well as looking ugly. denote
Incidence and a love of luxury. Taking the
opposite extreme. however, IL is not desira-
bic to have pronouncedly thin lips. for when
the outline OF the lips is narrow and unit
ed to a mouth with a sinister expression.
there is indicated great deficiency of nat
ural kindness in their owner. a want Of
warmth. and but little capacity to love.

VICTORY FOR coLoMBIAN TROOPS
venezuelan Invaders OF the GOaffrs
PeninAula Defeated

Venezuelan Invaders of the GOatira
Peninsula Defeated.
The Colombian minister here last night
received the following cablegram from
Abadie Mendez, minister of foreign affairs
at Bogota:
I'VE have obtained signal victory over
Venezuelan troops that invaded the Goa
tira. under Venezuelan officers, and under
the Venezuelan flag without previous
declaration of war"
Some uncertainty exists In the minds of
the officials of the legation as to whether
this victory over tho "venezuelans Is iden-
tical with that nsretofore reported by way
OF Curacao In the press, dispatches, or Is
the result OF another fight Dr. Silva, the
minister, is inclined to the former opinion.
The officials feel very much gratified over
the advfces. Some stress is laid on the
statement that this invasion was without a
previous declaration of war on Venezuela's
part. This. DR.. Silva says, shows the ir-
regularity Of the course the latter country
has taken. DR.. Mendez, who signs the dis
patch, Is the new minister Of foreign af-
fairs. whose appointment followed the Co
lombian cabinet crisis. reported from Do-
gotta yesterday. No further advices haye
been received on that subject and DR.. Sill
va Is disposed to believe that the resigna-
ton Of the cabinet was not general. but
was confined to possibly the minister Of for
eiSn aIalrS, TO which the minister of finance
was appointed, thus leaving a vacancy in
the latter office.
leafiet sent to the legation by the CO.
lombian consul at Curacao, gives some de-
tails of the recent fight at Carasua, about
fifteen miles from Rio Hacha, on the Goa
jira peninsula, and which probably is iden-
tical with that referred to by Minister
Mendez In his dispatch to DR.. Silva yester-
day. 1t shows that the victory over the
enemy was complete, the Colombians TAX
ing four batteries of artillery. Gatling guns
and considerable ammunition. General
Echeverria, who led a portion of the ex-
pedition, the report states, was killed, con-
trary to previous advices, which said that
he had fallen captive into the hands of the
Colombians.
