Sections House Damaged.

The alarm of fire turned in from box
AZ on Saturday night was occasioned
by a slight blaze in a house near the
toll-gate, occupied by John Sexton, and
owned by William Mccarthy. Owing
to the prompt action of the bucket
brigade the blaze was quickly eNtin-
guished, about S25 being the amount OF
the damage done. which was fully COW
cred by insurance.

Fire companies responded, but owing
to lack of a fire hydrant in that neigh

even If they had been needed. The
fire alarm system, as usual, was out
of order, one long blow being rung,
which is supposed to denote simply a
broken circuit.

CASTRO DESIRES
 HONORABLE PEACE
VENEZUELA HE SAYS HAS TAKEN FIRST STEP, AND, UNLESS CO., LOMBIA WISHES WAR, SHE SHOULD RESPOND.

Laguayara, yenez October 14 via Hay ten Cable.-General Cipriano Castro. President of Venezuela, made the follow ing statement today to the Associated Press regarding the venezueian-Colom- bia situation.
 ''I earnestly desire peace between Co- lumbia and Venezuela, but I consided that by reason of the Venezuelan memor- andum and our requests. communicated Automatically through MT. Rice. Colom- bian minister to Venezuela. for an explan- ation of the south in July by Colombian troops, that Venezuela has taken the first step toward peaceful settlement
 Ut would be against the national dig nifty and honor of Venezuela to take an- other step in this direction until an ex- pianatory answer had been received. The invasion of Tachira was the first openly aggressive act in this trouble. It was the act of Colombia; and therefore she should today follow up our initiative toward a peaceful settlement"
 NO. don't consider Colombia's accept ance of the offer of the United States to extend their good offices to mediate be- tween the countries which has been re- ported in the press here as a conciliatory answer to our diplomatic requests through Dr. Rice. If Colombia would of- f1cially notify Venezuela that she had accepted the United States as a mediator Venezuela could and would consider the advisability of addressing the United States with the idea of reaching peace full settlement"
 While waiting Colombia's answer we most decidedly cannot. directly or indi- rectly approach Colombia again in a con- ciliatory manner. Meantime we shall continue to guard our frontier against invasion. If Colombia does not answer, difficulties doubtless will arise. With the two lines of armed men face to face on the frontier this is to be expected.
