cOrding to Minister straus.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Oscar S. Straus,
formerly United States minister to Tur-
key, is of the opinion that in the present
situation as between France and Turkey
much viii depend upon the attitude of
England, Austria, Roumania and Greece,
with Russia, of course the most impor-
tant factor outside of the two principals.
The situation has a very serious side, -
said Mr.. Straus, 'inasmuch as the object
ing countries, namely, England, Austria,
Loumania and Greece in pursuance of
whose protests the sultan has taken his
present stand, are morally bound to side
III Turkey. I use the word morally in
the ordinary sense. though 1 question
whether it should be used in respect to
International matters"
Mr.. Straus said that the probabilities,
however, are all in favor of peaceful
settlement, though the situation is one of
great seriousness, containing an element
Of danger. 1t was Mr.. Straus who de-
veloped the diplomatic plans by which
the Sublime Porte was brought to settle
tie American indemnity claims He be-
ieves that the position of France today
is vastly weaker than that occupied by
the United States then.

NEW YORK, Aug pa special to the
Herald from Caracas says:
Gen. Juan Pietry, who was minister of
war for President Crespo during the rev.
olution Of 1892, while on his way to
GuaFco to raise an insurrection, was ar
rested on the shore Of Lake Valencia.
Gen. Pietry, it is announced, had been
in hiding fourteen months, conspiring
against President Castro.
He was brought to this city Immediate
ly after his arrest and was paraded in
the streets After the promenade, he was
escorted to the central square of the
city and set at liberty by order of Presi-
dent Castro to the great surprise of the
populace The people were astonished
This is a popular movement on the part
OF President Castro. The city is perfect
ly quiet.
News from Venezuela confirms the re-
ports that the republic is absolutely quiet;
Notwithstanding a fear of a general up
rising in the Colombian frontier, due to
the fear of President Castro, that Vene-
zCela was being attacked by Colombian
government. There is excellent author
ity for the statement that a new Vene-
zuelan revolution, led by Liberals, is be-
ing arranged. The leader of this revolu-
ton is now in New York.
The present situation in Venezuela is
more than serious. No one is allowed to
leave the country without special pernlis-
sion. At the Limon river, where an
American company employs c30 men, one
morning only fifteen were found on the
premises, the others having been forcibly
recruited during the night to defend the
country.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 23.-The
French ambassador M Constans, today
sent letter to the sultan personally, in
forming him that he would leave Con-
stantinople with the entire staff Of the
embassy if the matters in dispute were
not settled Immediately. The letter has
the nature of an ultimatum. 1t accords
the sultan the briefest delay within

bassador has sent the sultan letter
which is in the nature Of an ultimatum,
they admit having received a telegram
from NJ. Constans which has been laid
before the council now sitting at the
EIysee palace. Only three ministers were
not present The premier, NJ. Waldeck-
Rousseau, the minister of agriculture; M.

No naval demonstration is yet con-

young Turks and other disaffected Otto

relations between France and Turkey

Il has been suggested that the French
government issue orders for the Bourse

but it is not likely that this step will
lie taken, as it would only injure the
French bOndholders. The entire Turkish
group fell on the Bourse today in some
cases going down ten to twelve francs.
according to a dispatch from Berne.
Munier Bey already has leased a villa
