GERAITHIAhYY'SS S CLAIMS
AGAINST VENEZUELA
Amount of $15,OOO,OOO Re.
ported Incorrect.
TOTAL AMOUNT ABOUT 100000,

Government Is Fully Committed to
Obtain Ample Satisfaction.
Berlin, Dec. 2.-The published state
ment that Germany's claims against
Venezuela amounted to SIS, 100000 the
correspondent of the Associated Press
is informed are incorrect. While the
German government is not yet ready
to publish the details of its demands.
the papers say the total is about
$2,000,000 President Castro repre-.
sents to Germany that Venezuela has
little credit abroad; that the country
is just emerging from a civil war dur
ing which planting and industry were
partially ruined and that therefore no
matter how much Venezuela may de.
sire to satisfy Immediately the claims
against her, 1t is obviously impossible.
Hence, an agreement on the subject
must provide for deferred payments.
The seizure of the customs houses,
thereby depriving the government of
an important means to administer the
country, would add to the internal
distress and disorder
While President Castro's proposals
are not disclosed, there is reason to
believe that they include the emission
of the bonds at moderately high rate
of interest with some sort of guaran.
tee that If the interest or the install
ments of the principal are defaulted,
certain Venezuelan customs houses
may be taken over by Germany Moth.
ing is known here of the plans Of
Isaac N. Seligman, of New York, for
floating a Venezuelan loan. He has
not approached this government in
the matter.
There is no disposition here to pro-
ceed with harsh measures with Ven.
ezuela if mild ones will suffice to eX
act satisfaction, but the German gov.
eminent is fully committed to the in
tention to obtain ample satisfaction.
The claimants are constantly urging
the government to press the collection
of the amounts due them, not only be-
cause of the sums involved, but, it is
represented, in view of the fact that
the long delay has rendered the posi-
ton of Germans in Venezuela more
and more vexatious. Therefore, 1t is
claimed that the government must
strike hard in order to properly assert
the rights of Germany.

HENDSONYILLE, s.. q.

Mr. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago 1 operated float
inc saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands we're always exposed to the worst malarial
Influences employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem
her there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and [ determined to give the
medicine trial. 1 procured it, and those who
were sick were put this treatment and those who
we're feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty and from that time
on I used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
j. r. LASSITER.
