ULTIMATUM GIVEN
ENGLAND AND GERMANY SEND FINAL
WARNING TO VENEZUELA.
Warships Are Assembling on Her Coasts
After Presenting UItlmatums the
Ministers at Caracas Went on Board
the Warships of Their Respective Ma
tiOns-duns viii Talk Next.

London, Dec. 10.-Grest Britain and
Germany have presented ultimatums
to Venezuela, which will be followed
up by the seizure of the customs unless
satisfactory settlement is forthcoming
within brief period. The ultimatums
have time limit, but the exact date
cannot be ascertained here. The for
eign Office states with regard to the
limit:
''It is reasonable time in which
Venezuela can satisfy the injured gov
ernments. Both notes are practically
identical, although the amounts of the
claims differ. The notes merely re-
iterate the continued disregard by the
Venezuelan government of all our rep
resentatives, specify their claims and
demand immediate action on the part
OF President Castro's government in
connection Herewith"
The British governments case is
practically identical with the state
ments made in previous dispatches
from London, in which it was fist
announced that the action was con-
templated. The foreign Office says:
"fhere is not the slightest desire to
coerce Venezuela, and il any answer
had been made to our repeated protests
and demands, no such action as now
taken would have been proceeded with.
1t was the persistent and insulting dis
regard of all representations which
compelled us to move. 1t is now too
late in the day for anything but purely
diplomatic arrangements for the satis-
faction of our interests. When the
fleets have assembled there is scarcely
time to deal with bankers and a fnan-
cial settlement, which should have
been suggested long ago and would
have been welcomed by both Germany
and ourselves. However, any bona
ide proposition will receive careful at
tention. Reconstruction in CONNER
cial affairs is always better than liqui-
dation and, If the reconstruction OF the
V, n ,zuelan finances can be accom-
plished to the satisfaction of our diplu-
matte claims and individual losses, both
Germany and Great Britain will have
achieved their ends"

ZERO WEATHER AND BELOW.
Whole Middle West and South Is Suffer-
ing Coal UnObtainable.

Milwaukee, Dec. lQ.-The severe
cold is causing distress in Milwaukee.
The hard coal merchants of the city
were besieged by well-to-do people
throughout the city who have money to
purchase fuel and other supplies, but
who are absolutely unable to purchase
hard coal at any price.
Every applicant received the state.
ment that there was no coal to be had
and that the very small supply in the
bins was destined for the people who
had ordered coal last spring, and who
can get it only in small lots.
One large coal company has closed
its Offices for one week, and the others
are dealing out their visible anthracite
in quantities as small as possible to
their old cutosmers, that each may
have little.
The temperature throughout the
state ranges from 10 above to degrees
below zero tonight.

recommendations, they expressed g
preference for the Goose creek project

committee yesterday adopted all the
committee amendments to the immi-
grafton bill, with the exception of one

also the action OF the committee in
striking out section 36 of the bill pro
hibiting the sale of intoxicants within
the Capitol building, and then laid
aside the bill until today to pass a
number of unobiected pension bills.
The amendment fixing So head tax
on each immigrant coming into the
United States furnished the principal
topic for debate. 1t was discussed at
length by Calling or, Hoar, Fairbanks,
Penrose, Lodge ard Foraker, and final
ly was agreed to. The committee
amendment making the tax lien on
the property of the transportation lines
bringing aliens to the United States
was disagreed to.

providing that the head tax shall not
be levied on aliens in transit through
the United States, or to aliens once ad-
mitted to have paid the tax.
Section 8, prescribing an educational
test, was passed over temporarily.

FOR ALASKA CABLE.
Secretary Root Recommends an ALI
American Line.


American Line.
Washington, Dec. 1l.-"k wish to
call attention to the importance of a
cable between the northwestern coast
of the state of Washington and the
southern point of our Alaskan terri
tory, SO as to connect the telegraph
system OF the United States with the
telegraph system in Alaska.
The government of the United States
is maintaining troops i'll Alaska at
various points. 1t is responsible for
the maintenance OF order. Disturb
ances are always liable to occur in new
mining camps, and there is always a
possibility of their occurring along a
frontier line. Our only present means
of communicating by telegraph with
our officers, or with anyone concerned
in the government Of Alaska, is over
the Canadian land lines,
So says Secretary Root in his annual
report to the president. And be it
remembered, Secretary Root generally
gets what he goes after. The necessity
for an all-american telegraph line to
Alaska is recognized by many men in
congress. and its importance, in view
of the recent completion of an extensive
military system in Alaska, is all the
more apparent at this time. 1t is
doubtful whether an appropriation will
be made at the present session for a
cable such as the secretary advocates,
although, if proper estimates are sub
mitted later, an appropriation may be
provided in one of the regular supply
hills.

Ministers Leave Caracas.

Caracas, Dec. l0.-The British min
ister, W. Fl. D. Haggard, and the Ger
man charge d'affaires, Won Pilgrim
Baltazzi, left Caracas at O'Clock this
afternoon for La Guayra, where Minis
ter Haggard went on board the British
cruiser Retribution and Herr Won
Pilgrim -Baltazzi boarded the German
cruiser Vineta. Both the British and
the German legations have been closed.
Yesterday afternoon the British min
lister and the German charge d'affaires
deposited at the private residence of
the foreign minister, Lopez Barralet,
separate demands; the British demand
being for the settlement of claims and
other matters arising out of the last
revolutions, and the German demand
being for the payment of the interest
on the German loans and other claims.
The demands are without any specihca-
tion as to the time given for an answer,
but they are in the form Of an ultima
tum.
Yesterday and today being festivals
in Caracas, all the public offices are
closed, and it is impos ible to see any
one in authority regarding the depart
ure Of the ministers. The handing in
of demand Of such nature at the pri-
vate residence Of a minister, forgetting
all diplomatic rules, is believed in
some quarters to be without precedent.
The actual situation is incomprehensi-
Bile here. Up to this morning no one
appeared to know anything about the
Anglo German projected demonstration.
The foreign minister said that he con-
sidered a menace on the part of
Germany to be inadmissible, and that
any threat would be only "ballon
d'essal." As for England, said the
minister, she had no grounds for ag-
gression.

the seriousness of his condition: He
was cheerful and conversed with thoee

apparent that he would not survive his
illness, the wife and daughter we're
notified, and they remained constantly
at his bedside until the distinguished
patient breathed his last. With only
faint hope of saving his life. oxygen
