San Juan Porto Rico. April 11--Mr- Looris
sailed for the United States this afternoon by
the Red d Line steamer Caracas. He emphat-
icaIIy declined TO disclose the nature of his re-
port to President Mckinley. but judging from
casual remarks which he let fall. he is evidently
antagonistic to President Castro. He said that
the Iatter's salary was $4,000 year. but that
he had laid up 100000 in the last two years.
President Castro has been working for the re-
call of Mr. Ioornis ever since the minister per-
sisted in collecting the American claim of
100000 year ago. The i'll feeling then created
has increased month by month. as the asphalt
controversy. the revocations Of the Orinoco Com
pany's concessions and the treatment Of Ignacto
Baiz. United States Consular Agent at BARGE
Iona would illustrate.
Mr. Ioomis said:
President Castro told the Venezueans that
they and the Europeans in Trinidad were az no
erty TO seize claims in the Orinoco district on
land previously ceded 10 Americans 1t was evil
IDENTIFY his intention 10 embarrass the united
States Government and TO force IT 10 make

The Venezuelan Constitutional Convention
elected Castro provisional President until the
autumn. when there will be an election for an
eight-year term. General Andrade viii not be
President but his friends are working. and
revolution is possible in the course OF a year.
He is now at Curacao awaiting developments

ernment is concerned has passed the acute point.

HITCH N THE BURLINGTON DEAL.

IT is UNDERSTOOD THAT ]. PIERPONT NOR
GAN DECLINES CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
Boston, April 11-So far as can be learned.
the Chicago, Burlington and quincy directors
here have no evidence of any change in the rail-
road situation. They say that no proposition of
any kind is before them.
While leading directors admit that Great
Northern interests hold great blocks of stock in
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. they deny that
control has been secured, and ii is stated that
control cannot be secured at less than a cash
offer of S225 or $3.50 in 31& per cent bonds
There is excellent authority for doubling the
accuracy OF the reports current in the last day
or two. that the Burlington deal had been
closed. or that its formal closing awaited only
the consent of ]. Pierpont Morgan to certain
minor details Mr.. Morgan's steamer reached
Liverpool about noon yesterday, and he ar
rived in London four five hours later, or
about midday by New-York time. The cable
messages regarding the Burlington negotiations
were delivered TO him at Queenstown on
Wednesday night and it is understood that a
reply received from him yesterday after
noon by his associates here in those negOtia-
tions. and that the reply unfavorable in
other words that he declined TO accede to the
latest condition sought 70 be imposed by the
important Burlington interests, with whom
James j. Hill and other representatives of the
Northern Pacific and the Great Northern have
lately been in conference.
Whether not Mr.. Morgan's position means
the abandonment of the burlington deal can
not be said. but il is understood to be not
improbable that the two parties to the nego-
tiations may yet reach an amicable under
standing. Mr.. Hill, who was to have started
on Wednesday for his home in St. Paul and
then postponed his departure until yesterday.
IS still in the city. He may start West to-day,
il is said.
