| because Mr.. kittinger informed him
that Mr.. Addicks desired nothing but
the best for his friends.
A few days before the proposed
conference MI Lingo received a tels-
gram from Mr.. Kittenger, which
stated that, owing to the critical con-
dition of President Mckinley, Mr..
Addicks had decided to postpone the
conference. This left Mr.. Lingo
without guests in his hotel and with
a large stock of perishable provisions.
He thought of course Mr.. Addicks
would pay whatever expenses had
been contracted, and he wrote to him
several times but had received no re-
ply.
One day he visited Mr.. Addickis
Office, and clerk there informed him
that NJ. Addicks knew of the account
and that it would be settled.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
Caracas, Venezuela, Oct. diplomatic
relations are very strained between Ven-
ezuela and Great Britain and should the
revolution not triumph all circumstances
justify a prediction Of a rupture between
the two countries. The Venezuelan Chan
celery is very angry at the hoisting Of
the British flag In spite of Its protesta-
tons on the Island of Patos, and Presi-
British representatives has been far from
pleasant.
In an interview which General Castro
granted the correspondent a short time
ago he said, referring to the commence
ment Of the Matos revolution and the in
cident of the revolutionary steamer Ban
RICH:
ut Is now several months since the Ban
RICH chartered by the revolutionists ar
rived at Trinidad and we protested
against her presence at that island. The
British minister. Mr.. Haggard, immedi-
ately repaired 10 the Foreign Office and
assured General Pachano. the Venezue-
Ian Minister of Foreign Affairs that he
would do all he could to obtain from his
government that the Ban RICH and all
revolutionists residing at Trinidad and
the other British West Indian islands
should receive orders to leave and not to
return to those islands II the Venezuelan
government would agree that the surtax

unworthy of consideration. 1t seems.
therefore, from these facts that the Brit
ish government, through its representa-
