GREATLY EXAGGERATED.

Loss Of Life and Damage to Property
Not So Great in Guatemala.
Washington, Nov. 81. = Mr.. "A. E.
Lazo Arriga, the minister from Qua
temala to the United States, has just
received from his government letters
and kilograms stating that the reports
published in this country about the
loss of life and property caused by the
eruption of the Santa Maria volcano,
are exaggerated. While it is true
that part of the present coffee crop is
lost, the dispatches say it. is generally
expected that most of the planta-
lions of the affected districts will re:
cuperate. The loss of life was very
small and the president of the re.
public from the first moment adopted
the most energetic measures of relief
which the dispatches say avoided
considerable suffering and preserved
peace and order in the affected re-
gion.

Members OF British Parliament In.
duIge in scrimmage.
London, Nov. 21.-The completion
of the stage of the education bill in
the house of commons last night was
the occasion of curious scene. On
what was thought to be the final d.
vision being taken, knot of mem
bers came racing into the house. in
order to be the first to hand in amend
ments for the report stage of the bill,
the foremost being Lord Hugh Cecil
and Sir Charles Dixie. Hats rolled on
the floor and one member fell down in
the scrimmage. It then appeared that
there was still another division to be
taken, when the same scene was re-
peated, Sir Charles Dixie, an old
athlete, beating many of the younger
men in the race. The clerks at the
table were almost overwhelmed by
the mass of amendment papers,
which will afford Premier Balfour a
fine opportunity for the "guillotine"
process.

CASTRO WANTS SATISFACTION
BELIEVES THAT THE BRITISH
ARE ENCOURAGING THE
REVOLUTION.
BLOCKADE OF ORlNoCo RIVER
CAUSES TROUBLE AMONG REP
REsENTATlvEs OF FOR
I EIeN POWERS.

Willemstad, Curacao, Nov. 21.-The
strain in the relations between Great
Britain and Venezuela, already great,
has been intensified by the refusal Of
the British government to give sat
isfaction in the Ban Righ affair.". and
by the publication by the government
of Trinidad of the decree announcing
that the blockade of the Orinoco
river ports, declared by the Venezuela
an government, is null and of no eff
feet. The Trinidad government has
also failed to recognize the presiden-
tial proclamation made the day fol-
lowing the fight of Gen. Matos, and
President Castro regards this omis-
sion as further evidence that the
British are encouraging the revolu-
ton. Mr.. Haggard, the British min
lister at Caracas, reiterated. a few days
ago to the Venezuelan government
that Great Britain did not hold herself
liable for the action of the Ban Righ.
that she continues perfectly neutral
and that as an indication Of her con-
ciliatory attitude she refused to per-
NIT the Ban RICH to refit at Trinidad.
This statement is not acceptable to
President Castro, who insists on hav-
ing satisfaction.
The organ of the Venezuelan gov
eminent publishes the decree of the
Trinidad government and bitterly at
tacks Great Britain on that score.
Minister Bowen Refuses.
Caracas, Nov. 21-An effort is being
made by the European diplomats to
persuade the American minister, Mr..
Bowen, to join in declaration that
the blockade of the Orinoco river is
Ineffective, which is the position
taken up by Germany, France and
Italy, as well as Great Britain. Mr..
Bowen has given a discreet refusal
and is avoiding the question with a
view not to jeopardize American in
terests and to leave the hands of the
Washington government free. Sec
rotary of Legation w. w. Russell, in
his report on the recent trip of Che
United States gunboat. Marietta up
the Orinoco, holds that, the blockade
of Ciudad Bolivar is effective, which
is, a partial support Of the Venezuelan
contention.
The strong stand taken by Presi-
dent Castro is based on confidence
that Great Britain will not invite com
plications with the United States by
having to resort to force. The belief
is entertained by shrewd and impair.
tial diplomats that the ultimate object
of Great Britain's action in making
the issue a serious one is to bring
about arbitration on all questions
under dispute.

DRANK BLOOD TO LIVE.

Horrible Tale Of cannibalism by the
Survivors of shipwreck.
London, Nov. 81. - A dispatch to
the Daily Mail from Wellington, N. e.,
says that the survivors of the wrecked
steamer Elingamite admit that they
prolonged their lives on the raft on
which they escaped by mutual blood
sucking through incisions in the skin,
in most instances by consent, but
those who refused to-, submit were
tapped while they were asleep. 1t is
alleged that. the death Of the stew
ardess Of the steamer, who was con-
spicuously heroic in rescuing passsen-
gers from the wreck, was due to loss
of blood. The story has Mortified the
public. The action of the survivors is
regarded as inexcusable, as they were
adrift only four days and a half,
