HOSTILE TO AMERICANS
VENEZUELA NOT DISPOSED TO ACT
WITH FAIRNESS.
Minister Loomis's Protest Against
Copfiscation of Concessions I'm
hceded-Filibustcr Sunk.

PORT DE FRANCE, Island OF Mar
Unique, Jan. 24.-The attitude of the gov
ernment of Venezuela towards the Ber-
mudez Asphalt Company (American) is hos
tile for the reason that the concessions re-
Gently accorded by the government have
been given to people in touch with the gov
ernment and who would like to resell them
to the Bermudes Company. The govern
ment having refused to accede to the re-
quest of the American minister, who de-
manded a suspension of action on the part
of the new concessionists in taking posses
sion of their grants, strained relations be-
tween Venezuela and the United States re-
suited and war vessels are expected to
return TO Laguayra. If the Venezuelan
government employ force to take posses
sion of the asphalt lake it is believed the
United States auxiliary cruiser Scorpion
Will land an armed force. The attitude of
the venezuelans toward Americans may be
described as hostile.
No accurate details are obtainable re-
garding the sinking of the British sloop
Maria Teresa by the Venezuelan gunboat
Miranda. 1t is supposed the Maria Teresa
was on her way from the British Island
OF Trinidad with n cargo of arms intended
for the Venezuelan revolutionists and that
she was met by the Miranda, which, wish
ing to take posse ession of her, fired upon
the Maria Teresa and by so doing set her
en- fire. after which she sank, according
to one report.
Advices regarding the mutiny of Vene-
zuelan troops in the Hoyo barracks at
Caracas say that the nutineers numbered
three hundred. The outbreak took place at
O'Clock In the evening of Jan. Ii and the
colonel, two officers and four men were
killed. The muiineers escared without
erms by different roads and got outside the
capital Half of them were subsequently
arrested near Caracas and the others sur
rendered the next day. Apparently there
was 10 political cause for the outbreak.
Inquiry showed that the men had been bad
ly fed and were being exploited by the
chiefs. The authorities of the capital seem
10 have been unaware of the incident.
The situation SO far as ii affects the Ber-
r.udez Asphalt Company grows more criti-
cal every hour. All the negroes and other
laborers are menaced and impressed by the
local authorities or they desert, thus leav-
ing the plant at the asphalt lake without
assistance.
The American colony in Venezuela con-
tinues to protest against the indifference
with which American lives and interests
are regarded.

CHARGES FOUND TO DE FALSE

ORDERED By MACARTHUR.
Insurgent Filipinos Sent to Guam on

Rebels Slain in n Fight.

MANILA, Jan. 24.-General Macarthur
has ordered the deportation to the United
States of George r. Rice. editor of the
Daily Bulletin, marine journal. Rice will
sail on the Pennsylvania next Monday.
The order characterizes him as danger
Gus incendiary and menace to the mill
tary situation Rice's offense was the
publication of allegations that Lieutenant
Commander William Braunersreuther, cap
tain of the port, had charged excessive
pilotage and moorage fees, percentage
of which he kept for himself. The report
Of Major Mills, inspector general, who in
vestigated the allegations, completely ex-
operated the captain of the port and in
dicted the editor and the merchants who
had given him information and who had
misled him by figuring the rates upon the
net instead of the gross tonnage, the lat
ter being specified under the Spanish
laws.
Rice was summoned to the Office of the
Governor Generals military secretary and
was called on to promise that he would
publish no more such articles. He declined
to give such a pledge, but insisted that the
article was truthful and took up defiant
attitude when threatened with deportation.
The deportation order was then issued, and
Rice is now awaiting the departure of the
Pennsylvania. When seen in Jail to-day,
he reiterated his statement that the
charges were true, and declared that in
any event, the severity of the sentence was
unmerited.
Rice came originally from Red Wing,
Mimi, and was formerly a member of the
Minnesota Volunteers.

armorial bearings of that quaint old body,
the college of arms, in full and solemn
array. A blare of trumpets announced the
progress of the cavalcade as il proceeded
through Trafalgar square and the Strand
The chief interest centered in the en-
trance of the heTald's procession into the
city at Temple Bar. The gray minarets OF

of the fog. while long, double line of
over-coated troops stood, chilled and mo-
tionless along the half-deserted streets. The
clocks in the law courts and st. Dunstans
tolled out mournfully the quarter hours
until 9:15 when, out of the gray mists
from within the city boundary, appeared
a procession of carriages forming the lord

two professions were TO merge in kaleido-

aldermen and mace-bearers, in scarlet,
fur-trimmed robes, cooked hats, ruffied
skirts, silk knee breeches and low-buckled
shoes, peered out from the Cinderella-like
coaches that would have been the envy Of
Alice in Wonderland.
Overhead. in the midst of pageantry, the
great griffin, which marks the city bound
cry. spread its wide. fantastic wings, like
some great Hindoo god. In their gold liv-
cries, the white-winged coachmen of the
lord mayor looked down contemptuously
upon the soldiers, herald and peer. In
the olden days the veritable bar or gate
separated the city from without. To-day
ten strong policemen stretched a long silk
EN- rope across the thoroughfare, in honor
OF the city's ancient privilege.
AS the clock struck the time the Of
ficer in command of the troops cried AT

gold-laced trumpeters appeared at the
griffin's side. The lord mayor and sherins,
mace-bearers, remembrancer and the
white-wigged judges of the city courts left
their carriages and grouped themselves
together between the lines of drawn-up
troops.
WHO GOES THERE?"
Then the city marshal, who was on
horseback, wearing a uniform of scarlet,
gold-laced, with scarlet plumes. rode up
to the barrier, and the Norroy king-at-
arms, whose green and gold tabards out
shone those of his colleagues, appeared at
the imaginary bar. His trumpeter blew
shriIl blast, which the lord mayors trum-
peters answered, and then the marshal
rode up to the barrier and demanded:
"Who goes there?"
The Norroy king-at-arms replied that

New York Commercial Advertiser
The undertaker's boy brought the cof-
nm In the calm, matter-of-fact way, OF a
man transacting a piece of routine bust
ness. The woman who opened the door
for him was young and fair complexioned
She was rather small and chubby, with
honest, pleasing features. Her eyelids
were red and swollen with weeping.
AS she beheld the coffin, her lips witch
ed and a fresh flood of tears burst from
her eyes. The boy carried his burden
through Che kitchen and into a neat
little room. where on small bed, covered
with a white sheet, lay the dead child,
two Waxen candles burning. at his head.
One could see that when alive it was a
handsome boy, and even now the livid
lips wore the glimmer of a, smile, sweet
sad, heart-breaking. His little arms lay
crossed over his heart, while showing
from under the shroud were his feet,
yellow as wax, their nails grown blue.
Standing by the little body was tall
old man. His. face was covered with
wrinkles and. his mouth was shaded by
a. big, busahy muStache. He was rather
shabbily dressed. Everything about him
was old and worn out-everyth hing except
the beautiful gold watch chain which
decorated his discolored waistcoat. When
dead child be placed in the coffin this old
man f1ared up. The CALM business-like
tone in which the stranger spoke grated
on his nerves.
None of your businessn" he snarled.
The undertaker's boy resentfully walked
back into the Kitchen where he received
Ave silver coins from the young woman,
and, went away.
The old mans eyes were full of tears
He bent over the dead child, kissed his
cold forehead; and taking the little body
in his arms he tenderly put 1T into the
coffin. Then sinking into q chair and
dropping his arms, as though completely
exhausted with grief, he fell into
Teverie.
He beheld himself in his birthplace,
which he had left when he was a boy,
then in Prague, at the university, study
ing and struggling to keep body and soul
together. These pictures were soon sup
planted by scenes of sthe revolution.
Speeches of patriots ready to die for lib
erty; the enthusiasm of champions of
justice, of universal happiness; days
spent on the barricades, under fire; then
the years in prison, and finally freedom
once more. All this the old man now
saw in his day dream. He saw himself
revisiting his home. The mill, his father
mill was still there, but his father and
mother were no more. Two wooden
crosses under a lilac bush told the tale.
A short distance off stood a third cross;
bis younger brother also was dead, and
his young wife had married. a second
time 1t was her husband who now ran
the mlll-the mill which had been his
fathers Broken in body and in spirit

life, this innocent, lovely babe, has made
a new man of me- AS I look into these
clear little eyes all hatred flies from
my heart; my soul becomes full of
peace; the misery which men have cauS-
ed me is forgotten"
The old official was wrapped up in the
child. When he succeeded in making it
laugh he was in the best of moods.
The watch was the boys favortte toy.
When he was a year old he would put it
to his ear and listen to its ticking. When
he cried all that was necessary to make
him smile was to hand him the gold
watch and chain. When baby fell sick
the old mans anguish was as great as
the young mothers. The boy was be-
ginning to talk, and his childish prattle
filed the world with music for him.
Everything was done to save this little
life but all in vain. When the gray
haired official behefd the dead face, its
beautiful blue eyes-the source of SO
much happiness-closed, never to open
again, a torrent of tears came streaming
down his withered cheeks. 1t was as il
the boy had come into the world merely
IN order that his fathers old friend might
have brief respite from the gloom and
misery which seemed to be his lot.
Pavlichek came home. Sobs choked
him, but he struggled to suppress them.
The poor woman, his wife, had been
crying her eyes out and he would not
reawaken her tears, but the sight of him
brought 1t home to her that their baby
was gone. and the anguish which she
was trying to hold back broke forth The
three poor people had been happy to-
gether in their poverty and now all that
remained for them was to share in the
black despair which gripped their hearts.
PavIichek was the foreman of the foun-
dry in which he was employed. When an
important piece of work was under way
his presence was Indispensable. This was
the case now. The metal, all molten,
was already seething in the bowl, i'm
patient to be made into a gigantic cyl,
inder, the biggest ever produced in the
place
Pavlichek, his wife and the government
clerk stood over the coffin. They could
not speak. The old mans watch, with
which the boy played a short while be-
fore his death-his last toy on earth
lay on the able near by. At last Pavii-
chek broke the silence.
When do you expect the hearse?'' he
asked
eat three" answered the old man. The
ironworker fixed on his wife a look of
despair, and, wringing his hands, he
said:
Eat o'clock it will be impossible for
me to get away. I won't be able to take
my child to the graveyard" The other
two stared at him.
TT can't be helped" Pavliehek ex-
planned. It's a serious piece of work. We
have been preparing for it for the last
few days, and now the most important
of it must be done. 1t cannot be delay
ed. The other hands have not the ex-
