LOOMS WILL NUF GO
BACK TO VENEZUELA

Washington May SILT is officially
admitted that Minister LOOMS VIII
not return 70 Venezuela. There are
two reasons for this decision. in the
first place Mr. LOOMS has suffered
in health at his uncougenial post. and
in the second place the president is
not disposed to expose him again to
the merci1ess attacks he has suffered
in Venezuela as q result Of the eXecu-
ton of the orders Of the state de-
parement. Mr.. Loomis, who is now in
Europe seeking TO recuperate, Will be
given another diplomatic position as
soon as suitable place can be found.
Meanwhile Mr. Russell viii remain in
charge of the United states legation
at Caracas for q period of time not yet
determined upon, but likely 70 be fixed
by the attitude Of the NenezUelan gov
eminent.
1t is not the present intention of the
government 90 take official action on
the criticisms passed. by President
Castro upon Minister LooInis as con-
tanned in a newspaper interview The
officials cannot brfsg themselves to be-
lieve that the president Of. Venezuela
wO-id willingly reflect upon the per-
sonaI character Of a minister Of am

Pelsin. May 21-China's uncoondi-

the indemnity to be paid the powers
has caused great satisfaction among
the foreign ministers, rs 1t leaves prac-
tically few minor details 10 complete
the negotiations.
The phrase in the. joint note, Ito the
satisfaction of the powers may cause
some delay in the evacuation Of chi
nese territory as the ministers fail TO
see how China can guarantee pay
ment. and as the ministers believe II
would it would be a mistake to nave
a large body of foreign officials col
Iect revenue. Were revenue thus col
Iected over coo officials would pc re-
CURED and the aggregate salaries OF
these men would be very large ana
amount 10 more than the ordinary chi
nese squeeze"
The majority of the ministers now
favor raising the customs to 10 per
cent and taking 100000 taels yearly
from the liSeu tax. phis metnOq would
give after the payment eff interest on
{ foreign. debts now existing, about 20
GOO COO taels a year. The ministers
would agree to this system if China
will discontinue the collection OF all
lfken duties on foreign goods.
