II DEPENDS IN [.0.I0[HiI5i,.. [I.0.I0[ Ii,. :
Minister Loomis Hurrving From Venezuela to Washington to Con-
 fer with Secretary Hay.
HAS BEEN OBJECT OF BITTER ATTACK.
Upon the Outcome of His Confer ence at Washington VIII De- pend Whether or Not He Will Re- turn to Carncas-No Present In- tention of Sending Warships.

Washington, April 2.-The future of Minister Loomis dependsupon the coll ference which will be held al the state department between Secretary Hay and himself when the minister reach es Washing ton. Until the secretary has had an opportunity to taiS freely with Mir. Ioomis as to conditions in Venezuela it can not be known posi- tiYely whether or not he will return 10 his post.
 An Object of Bitter Attack.
 Mr. Loomis has been the object of bitter attacks by some of the Yen ezaelan newspapers, not solely be- cause of the asphalt controversy, but also because he was charged with making false reports to his govern ment touching tine insurfeetionarY movement in Nenezaela. The minis' CT did inform the state department of the conditions as he saw them, and of the prospects of the revolutionary movement. The Venezuelan govern ment could not have direct kuowl- edge of the minister's reports, but because these were followed by the appearance of three United States warships in Venezuelan waters they came to the eencusien that the minis ter had reported as very meracing and serious d revolutionary move ment which the government organs were trying their best to minimize. Therefore these papers lost no oppor- tunity of attacking Mir. Loomis in print. and have succeeded in making his lot unpleasant. 1t is only fair to state that the Venezuelan charge here asserts positively that these at taeks were made by irresponsible was not behind them and deprecated them. If Mf Loomis confirms this view, and he cares to return to Cara cas, he will be permitted to do so.
 Expected By the Tenth.
 It is expected that Minister Loomis will reach New York April 10, for the gunboat Scorpion was dispatched to LaGnyara especially to make sure that he should connect at Kingston, Jamaica, with the regular passenger steamer coming to New York There is no present intention of sending the North Atlantic squadron to Ven ezuela for, as above stated, the gov ernment can not decide how this mat ter should be treated until Mr. Loom is has been personally consulted. The squadron which is at Culbera island, engaged in maneuyers, is about 10 head north in a few days. One or two of the vessels will be sent first to Kingston, Jamaica, but the delay will be temporary and the whole squadron will soon be under way for Tomrkias- ville

The Effect of the Anti Gambling Biu.


 The effect of the anti-gambling bill which went into effect immediately after it received Gov. Davis endorse ment, was to cause every public gamb- ling house in the state to shut up shop. Even the famous Hot Springs resorts. backed by hundreds of thous- ands, closed. At Little Rock there were at least twenty-five gambling houses from which the city collected in fines weekly about $5S0. The senti- ment of business men and property owners in the towns where public gambling has been permitted hereto fore seems to be in favor of the law While it is acknowledged that for a short time it will appear to affect cer- tain interests, and especially the city of Hot Springs. the best people hold that it will rebound greatly to the credit of the state in the end; that many people of means who have hereto fore kept away from the Springs on account of reports as to the gambling element will now visit that resorts, and that men of wealth will invent more willingly in a community where lawlessness and vice are prohibited or swiftly punished.
