TO OVERTHROW CASTRO.
Gen .MatOs Leaves Fort de France
With Armed Expedition.

Fort de France. Island of Martinique
Jan. 2, via Haytien Cable.-The
steamer Ban Righ, recently renamed
the Libertador. has left this port for
the Venezuelan coast. She carries
among her passengers Senior Matos,
who is now referred to as Gen. Matos,
and several generals and other person.
ages of Venezuela who Joined Gen. Ma
tos here. Besides the leaders of the eX-
pedition the vessel has on board 300
volunteers, and it is understood that
she will embark a number of other
volunteers while on her way to the
coast of Venezuela.
The behavior of Gen. Matos and his
adherents while they were at this port
was most correct and when they left
here they had the sympathy of the
whole population. Gen. Matos is we'll
known at Fort de France where he
mas many friends. The local newspa-
pers have published articles expressing
hopes for the success of the expedition
and the downfall of President Castro,
whose attitude, the papers add, has
earned for him the enmity of the whole
world.
Previous to his departure from Fort
de France Gen. Matos issued a mani
festo, calling on all his fellow ceun-
trymen to take up arms.
While the Libertador was at this
port her sides were strengthened by
light armor and her gun positions were
perfected. Her armament is of the
modern type.
The Ban Righ's Equipment.
Details of the conversion of the
steamer Ban Righ into a war vessel
show that her vital parts have been
protected by thick plates of steel. The
work was done here at the works of
the General Transatlantic Company.
The Ban Righs armament consists of
several guns capable of firing 300 shots
per minute and four 1O-centimetre
rape fire guns. The officer in charge
of the vessels guns is a European.
Her crew is composed of Englishmen
and natives of the island of Martinique.
The reinforcement of the 200 volun-
teers now on board the Ban Righ will
reach the war steamer in sloops and
schooners which are to be met at vari-
Gus points, if the plans of the revoiu-
tionists are carried out.
The departing volunteers appeared
to be very determined men. Previous
to sailing they had learned of the de-
cree issued by President Castro, de-
claring the Ban Righ to be e, pirate
and offering a reward of $4,000 Cor her
capture, but they said the vessel win
not be captured and insisted that the
revolution will triumph.
The volunteers also said that their
landing on the coast of Venezuela was
planned to coincide with a forward
movement on the part of the Colon-
bian troops and the landing in Nene-
zuela of other revoluc;onists who had
concentrated at the islands of Trini-
dad and Curacao.

ROYAL GIFT TO KING
Uo BE ROYALTY EXPENDED FOR
CHARITY.
a CHANCE FOR MEDICAL MEN.
KING EDWARD OFFERS PRIZES
FOR ADVICE.

SIR Ernest CaSsOl Places f200,O00 at
the Disposal of King Edward and
the Latter Decides to Devote 1t to
a sanitarium to Be Used in Giving
the Open Air Treatment to Com
sumptives-A Committee of Lead
ing Physicians Appointed to Take
the Matter in Hand.
London, Jan. 3.-Two hundred thous
and pounds have been placed at King
Edwards, disposal for charitable or
unitarian purposes, according to the
Daily Mail, by Sir Ernest Cassol, a
merchant and financier who was prom
inent in Egyptian finances and who
was made a knight commander of ST.
Michael and st. George for his services
in that field.
King Edward has decided to devote
this gift to a sanitarium which will
accommodate 100 patients. Twelve of
the beds are to be reserved for wealthy
sufferers, while the remainder will be
for those who are only able to afford
q small fee. King Edward has ap-
pointed an advisory committee in this
matter composed of leading physicians,
including Sir William Henry Broad
bent, Sir Richard Douglas Powell Sir
Francis Henry Lacking, Sir Felix Sc
mon and others. Three prizes of 500,
G200 and e100, respectively, have been
offered in connection with this scheme,
best essays on and plans for the con-
struction of the sanitarium and the
Advisory Committee will be guided
by the result of this competition in the
execution of His Majesty's wishes. The
competition is open to all medical men
of all nationalities.
Sir William Henry Broadbent, when
interviewed on this subject, explained
that it was intended to employ the open
air treatment for consumptives. the
success of which he said was now alb
solutely established. Sir William was
unable to give details. but he said that
he believed that sanitarium would be
within easy distance of London, for
ii had been shown that the open air
treatment could be conducted almost
as successfully in England as in Swift
zerland.
The papers this morning all publish
editorials applauding King Edwards s
purpose. and the gift which has en-
ahled His Majesty to carry out the idea
which he has so much at heart.
