Note to Castro.
The note is as follows:

i ne NIUE ID db lOllOWb.
Caracas, Dec. 10, ISO2.-To the
President Of the United States Of
Venezuela-Sir: The undersigned,
having met with the purpose OF offer
ing their aid TO the government OF
Venezuela in the present conflicting
situation. which has been created by
the aggressive attitude Of Germany
and Great Britain and upon your re-
quest TO give our opinions in writing,
we address you in the following terms:
In view Of the acts Of violence al
ready committed and OF the absolute
impotence Of Venezuela TO meet force
with force in response to the allied
action of Germany and Great Britain,
In view Of the fact that Venezuela has
exhausted ali the means required by
civilization and diplomacy to put an
end to the present situation, and the
government and the people OF Vene
zuela having complied honorably and
worthily TO the demands Of national
honor. we consider, with all due re
spect that the moment to yield tc
force has arrived.
We therefore respectfully recon
mend that full powers be given TO the
minister of the United States OF North
America, authorizing him to terminate
the present conflict in the manner
least prejudicial to the interests OF
Venezuela

Swallow Their Pride.

The awakening OF the Venezuels
people to the present situation Of their
country is accompanied by feelings Of
bitterness and sorrow. Their feel
has been destroyed and their pride
has been deeply wounded. but they are
resigned TO accept the affront which
they consider has been offered then
by the allies.
During the last 10 days President
Castro has acted with extraordinary
energy. He has transformed the en-
tire country into a vast camp. having
raised more than 10000 men, whom
he has well armed. equipped anC
transported from every direction to Ii
Guayra and Puerto Cabello. in the ex
pectation that the allies would at
tempt to land at one or both of thes'
ports.
But there has been a change o
feeling. and prominent men OF Vene
zuela, who were at one time ready T.
lead the people in defense Of thei
country, now consider the justification
to take the men of the republic ava.
from their families and their worl
does not exist They have resolved I,
discover a means to bring about arb
tration or at least treat with the a.
lies. The means sought are though
to lie through the United States legs
ton. and satisfactory results are Of
every hand expected to follow.
A member of the ministry said Z

Press:

REPULSED WITH COAL
JAPANESE HOTEL. RUNNERS
MEET DEFEAT.
Declare They Were Chased Away From
Steamship China Yesterday While
Soliciting Patronage Of Arrivals.

There is sorrow among the runners
for the Japanese hotels. The Hawaiian
boat boys are also in an unamiable
frame of mind, for the interests Of both
people are, in the present instance, af-
fected.
With characteristic enterprise the
runners of the various Japanese hotels
have been in the habit of going in shore
boats, and meeting the steamers from
the Orient. Going alongside, the run
ners have called out to their friends
aboard the vessels, and made arrange
ments with them, about boarding at
their respective hotels, on release from
quarantine.
The customs regulations however, are
quite strict about permitting any COM
municatiOn between immigrants and
possible friends ashore who might give
them advice as to the best means Of
evading the queries of the immigration
inspector. In consequence, the Japa-
nese runners have been ordered away
from the side of the vessels but by pad
ding around, they have succeeded i'm
getting close enough to transact their
soliciting for patronage.
Yesterday, when the China arrived
from the Orient with a large number of
Japanese aboard she was met at the
Channel wharf by a small fleet of row
boats, in which were various Japanese
hotel runners. The crowd expected they
would be able to get close enough to the
vessel to transact their business. When
the boats were rowed within a few
yards of the China, and the runners
started to do their soliciting they were
greeted with vOlley after volley of coal
from the side of the steamer. The GUS
toms inspectors aboard, are said by the
runners, to have been the individuals
who bOmbarded them. Whether this is
true can not be said, but in any everG
it was an effective method of driving
the fleet of runners away for, after
passing few exciting minutes dodg-
ing chunks of coal, the runners beat a
hasty retreat to the boat landing, de-
claring that they would hire no more
boats in future to go out to the steam
eTs.

TO PUT UP BRIDGES
THIRTEEN IN HAMAKUA AND
NORTH HILO
Engineer Gere Leaves to superintend
Erection-Foundation Laid Ready for
Steel Bridges

Engineer Gere of the Public Works
department left on the Kinau today.
to take charge of the construction of
bridges in Hamakua and North Tilo
districts Hawaii. There are 10 bridges
TO be put up They are built on a much
better plan than the bridges that were
washed away by the storm and win
probably stand for long time.
The bridges were all framed here nm
der the supervision of the department.
They are of mixed material Ceres
work will be the building of foundations
and putting together the bridges.
The foundations are all to be of
masonry. This will made them perma-
nent, and when the day comes when the
government has funds steel bridges
may be built on the same foundations
Ihis Is the ultimate intention, but there
are not funds now for such work. and
as the bridges are needed, it was de-
cided to put them up at once.
Gere Will have enough work for sew
eral weeks, with the 10 bridges. The
work is all being done by the govern
ment, and the order as to the employ
ment of Asiatic labor applies through
out.

OFF TO WASHINGTON
PRATT MAKING FINAL.
PREPARATIONS.
viii Be Prepared to Tell All About the
Fire Claims and How They Were
Adjudicated.

Joseph G. Pratt delegate of the Cham
Der of Commerce and the Merchants
Association, is making his final prepa-
rations to leave tomorrow for Washing
ton. In the matter of the fire claims he
will take with him a full set of docu-
ments showing the state of affairs and
conditions under which the claims arose
and those giving a clear apprehension
of the origin, organization and method
of work of the commission, and the
methods pursued in hearing claims and
making awards.
1t is matter of regret to him that
he is not able to take with him a con-
else statement of the exact amount of
the awards in all the claims, but this is
impossible at this time, and as the
session Of congress is so far advanced
it Is not thought wise to delay his de-
parture.
Besides his credentials from the or
ganization sending him, MI Pratt is
receiving personal letters of introduce
ton to congressman senator's and
others from individuals in the city who
nave acquaintance with these men. Hu
values such letters as probably being
of very great service, as it is natural for
any man to take more interest in t 4

KNOCKING YANG WEI
BOW WONGS OBJECT TO HIS
PETITION.
Sent to Washington Accounts of His
Action in Causing Punishment of
Their Relatives in China.

Consul Yang Wei Pins opponents
! are after him again in the matter of
| the fire claims business. They are
! STRIVING to prevent their Countrymen
signing the petition he is circulating
addressed to the Chinese government
asking for action to hasten the pay
ment of the claims One of them said
yesterday that in order to obtain sig
natures to the petition threats are used
that If people will not sign they will
be reported to their local government
ar home as being reVOlutionists and
their families will be punished, also
that in some cases money is used TO
induce parties to sign. In other cases
children are induced to sign merely for
the purpose OF multiplying signatures"
said the Bow Wong. 1T would appear
that there is an ulterior reason for
obtaining many signatures which would
be easily transferred to another docu-
ment which document might tend to
endorse the COnsuHs actions in this
community. He evidently has been in
formed that the authorities in Wash
ington have been duly advised of his
action in reporting names of residents
OF Hawaii and in consequence of which
their innocent families in China have
been severely injured in life and prop
erty. Also other\actions Of his have
been exposed to the authorities and he
may be anxious to secure an endorse
ment of residents here"
Consul Yang's petition makes three
movements under way to stir up the
claim business Governor Dole has one
petition and j. G. Pratt of the fire
claims court is going to work for fed
eral assistance for the Territory in pay
