Reply From Castro.

City of Mexico, Oct. 31.-Acting Presi-
dent Conaro Baigesa of the Pan-Ameri-
can congress has received the answer OF
President Castro of Venezuela to the
resolution adopted by the congress ex-
pressing the hope that Venezuela and
Colombia would reach an equable and
rationale adjustment of their present
difficulties. President Castro says:
II esteem your intervention of an en-
tirely friendly nature, since the Colon
bian difference does not come within
the purposes Of your union. The Venez-
uelan government, which is especially
republican, liberal and democratic, joy
fully corresponds with your friendly de-
sire. Venezuela has not sought or de-
sired war with anyone. She desires and
loves peace-but honorable peace.
.The conservative Colombian govern
ment, thru a senses which 1t is unneces-
sary to indicate. has always endeavored
to influence the action of the nation
which gave her liberty and independ-
ence This is degrading and contrary to
present civilization, and therefor unac-
ceptable. You must know that she lives
in terror. misery and obscurity and de-
sires to bring these upon US.

MORE NEWS OF MISS STONE
State Department Gets Additional Par
tieulars Regarding Negotiations.


Washington, Oct. 31.-The state de-
partment has received additional adj
vices concerning the negotiations which
captors OF Miss Stone and her frineds,
who are acting under the supervision
of Spencer Eddy at Constantipople,
and Consul General Dickinson at Sam
akov. Direct communication has not
been opened with Miss Stone, but 1t is
certain that the brigands are pre-
pared to release her on payment of
ransom, and 1t is the expectation that
an agreement will be reached in a few
days, in view Of the knowledge pos
sessed by the brigands that a greater
sum than $4,000 can not be raised.
There is MOI foundation for the report
that President Roosevelt has sent a
message direct to the Prince of Bull
garia regarding Miss Stone.
While the state department depre-
Gates the interviews attributed to Con-
sui General Dickinson, 1t states that he
has acted with zeal in the matter. Par
ticular credit is given to Mr.. Eddy,
who, 1t is officially stated, has displayed
marked energy and ability. and his
conduct has received the cordial APP
proval Of the state department.
Beyond the determination to obtain
PREPARATION as soon as Miss Stone is lib
Grated. the administration has formed
no plan of action. The authorities
have not sounded the powers on any
point. All the department is sure of
is that Miss Stone was captured on
Turkish territory few miles from the
frontier by Bulgarian brigands. who
Immediately retired into Bulgaria. and
i. is not prepared to formulate its pol
icy regarding PREPARATION until Miss
Stone is released and additional facts
have been obtained.

BREAD RIOT in MEXICO.
Hungry Crowds Charge on Warehouses
and Riot Results.

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 31.-News has
reached this city OF bread riot in the
town of Purungueo, Michoacan, Mexico,
On Oct. Is, in which twenty people were
wounded many of whom will die.
The riot was a result of The corn fam
ire which has prevailed in that part OF
Mexico for months, and the action OF
inonopolists In advancing the price to a
figure that prevented the poor classes
from purchasing enough for their needs.
Some time ago the Mexican govern
ment, on account of the famine, removed
she duty on corn from the United States,
and shipments from the states for time
served to relieve the situation. Specula-
tors, however, got hold of all the cereal
shipped into the district and at once adj
yanced the price 100 per cent. The peo-
pie stood this until driven to the verge
os starvation and then organised for
raid ON the grain warehousesko f the mo-
nopolists, who. being appraised of the
movement, had armed men stationed IN
the warehouses to resist any attack
made on them.
The natives, many OF them being
women and children, advanced on the
corn warehouses in a body and assaulted
the barricaded doors, finally breaking
them in. AS the doors gave way the
hungry people rushed in, and were met
by volley. A number We're wounded.
This did not serve to stop the mob, and
a second volley was fired that was eff
fective. The rioters retreated, leaving
twenty of their number in the ware
houses, seven of them being women,
four children under Is years Of age and
nine men.
The women and children We're In the
front and received the worst of the FIR
ing. PurunEueo Is fifty miles from q,
railroad. and the last reports from the
place were that the situation was criti-
cal and more bloodshed was probable.
The people are desperate from hunger
and will resort to any measure to get
food. The government is sending troops

Constantinople, Oct. 31-The Turkish
government is already preparing to re-
sist the anticipated demand of the
United States for Repayment of the ran
som necessary to seizure the release of
Miss Stone. A Turkish official this
morning informed the Associated Press
that Turkish resistance of any claims
would be based upon these contentious:
First-That Miss Stone, altho warned
of the dangers of the road, persisted in
travelling.
Second-That she did not notify the
authorities of her intention, in order to
obtain an escort, which precaution even
foreign consuls always taken when
travelling in such outlying and insecure
districts Of the empire.
Third-That the brigands who kid
mapped Miss Stone and companian were
Bulgarians, that the coup was planned
in Bulgaria and sanctuary found in
Bulgarian territory.
