ANTS HOLD MEETING
WILL WAGE WAR ON REPUB.
 LICAN PARTY.
Says Tendency Toward Imperialism Can Be overthrown Only by Defeat of the Party in
 Power.

Boston. Dec 2.-On the occasion of the annual meeting of the New England anti imperialistic league at the Twentieth Century Club today. q luncheon was siv- en fir which some 200 ladies and gentlemen participated. Former Governor Bout well presided, and in openir g. he spoke of the growth of the anti-imperialist movement, and said that the only way to overthrow the imperialistic tendency or the administration was by the overthrow of the Republican party.
 Frying Winslow, the Secretary, said:
 The more important correspondence of the office has been with members of Con- Eress, district committee platform mak- CTS and Congressional candidates of the Democratic party. with the aim or strengthening the attitude which that party has taken upon anti-imperialism.
 ITO the minority of the Senate commit tee on the Philippines. Senators Rawlins. Dubois, Culberson, Patterson and Car mack. especially moro sincere apprecia- tion and deep gratitude are due.
 While the Democratic party in Con gress was moving towards a satisfactory attitude upon the question in which we are concerned. we were invited to. share in it's councils. and had some little in- tluence in bringing about the bill offered in the Senate as the substitute for that of the majority for the Government of the Philippine Islands.
 We desire to continue our work with unabated zeal and enefgy, looking to the education of the poDls before the Presl- dentiaI election. and while we wish we might hope that 1t could bring about a reformation of the party in power. the most sanguine must now acknowledge that the drift within that party is too strong for US to expect it. and that 1t Is probable that the Republican party must be destroyed or at least that 1t must be dieiEtegratsd before imperialism can be overthrown."
 Officers were reelected, MT. Boutwell continuing as President.

Everything here Is on a grand scale You cannot appreciate your own vastness unless you have the perspective of the foreigner.

OWES GERMANY $e,ooo, 900.
This Amount Will Cover Venezuela's s
 Debt to That Nation.

Debt to That Nation.
 Berlin, Dec. 2.-The published statement that Germanys claims against Venezuela amount to $15, ,000, 900 Is, the correspondent of the Associated Press Is officially in- formed, incorrect. While the German Government is not yet ready to publish the details of its demands. persons who have seen the papers say the total Is about s2, 900. President Castro repre- sents to Germany that Venezuela has lit- tie credit abroad; that the country Is just emerging from a civil war during which planting and industry were partially ruin ed, and that, therefore, no matter how much Venezuela may desire to satisfy immediately the claims against her, it is obviously impossible. Hence an agree ment upon the subject must provide for deferred payments. The seizure of the custom houses thereby depriving the Government of its means to administer to it's country would add to internal dis ,trcss and disorder.
 While President Castro's proposals arc not disclosed, there is reason to believe they include the emission of bonds at a moderately high rate of interest with some sort of a guarantee that if the in- terest or the installments of the princi- pal are defaulted certain Venezuelan cus- 
 many.
 Nothing is known he:e of the plans of Isaac N. Sslligman of New York for float ing a Venezuelan loan. He has net ap- preached this Government in the matter.
 There is no disposition here to proceed with harsh measures towards Venezuela If mil6er ones will sufflce to exact satis- faction, but the Germans is fully cummit- ted to the intention to obtain ample sat- isfaction. The claimants are constantly LII ging the Government to press the col- lection of the amounts due them not only because of the sums involved, but it Is represented, in view of the fact that the long delay has rendered the position of Germans in Venezuela more and more vexatious. Therefore, it is claimed that the Government must strike and strike hard in order to properly assert the rights of Germany.

SCARCITY OF NAVAL OFFICERS.
Foss Has Plan to Double Appoint ments to Annapolis.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Representative Foss of Illinois. Chairman of the House Committee on Naval Affairs, had an ex- tended conference with the President to- day about naval matters and especially respecting the lack of officers to man the pig fighting ships properly.
 Mr. Foss has a plan for the increase of the number of naval officers witk which the President is impressed favorably. It Is that Congress enact law doubling the number of cadets annually appoint ed to the Naval Academy, during a pe- riod of twelve years. The operation of sush a law, it is said, would furnish a sufficient number of officers to meet the needs of the service and at the end of twelve years the number of cadets an- nually appointed could be reduced with safety to the present number
 Mfr. Foss regards it as quite likely that his CommRtee will endeavor at the pres ent session to meet the existing deficien- cy in the number of naval officers.
