London, Dec. 10.--One of the lar.

informed representative of the
press Tuesday that the ultimatuns
of Great Britain and Germany had Q
72-hours' limit and therefore, will ex-
pire on Wednesday. The foreign OF.
flee while not denying the correct.
ness of this statement intimated that
the period is liable to extension.
There are some Indications of pos
sible settlement, though apparently
nothing definite has yet been decided.
Hope Gus tro Will Yield.
Berlin, Dec. 10.-While the limit of
time given to Venezuela in which to
make an answer to the ultimatums
of Germany and Great Britain is not
disclosed, the correspondent of the
press was officially informed that it
is very brief. The German foreign
office still hopes that President Cas-
tro will recognize the gravity of the
situation and yield at the last mo-
ment.

of the Norwaerts, which says that

pressed his willingness to satisfy the

Secretary Russell says that com
munications received daily show that
a great deal of interest is being shown
IN the Colorado New Mexico fair by
people outside and indications are
that a large crowd will be here next
week, and that the city will be filled
with visitors during the four days OF
the fair. The Indians will be en-
camped on the fair grounds. and will
present a very pretty and interesting
scene. The Woodman band will play
every evening for the entertainment
of the people and the visitors in the
town, in the streets of parks, where
ever the directors of the association
think most suitable. On the last
evening the Indian carnival provided
by the Elks will be a great thing and
nobody should miss seeing it, The
seats are now on sale and any person
desiring tickets can obtain them of
the secretary. Tickets for the grand
stand boxes are also ready. and can
be obtained for $40, and $12, accord
ing to the location of the boxes and

ABOUT THE DANCE.

Prof Simpkins, who conducts the
Vendome hall, says with reference to
the somewhat spirited attack of the
Evening Telegraph on the vulgar
waltz. that he would be glad to have
some influence brought to bear which
will inspire people to adopt the cor
rect position. He says he has insist
ed on the correct position in the class.
es and at the club dances. When he
rents the hall he has no control over
the deliberations of the dancers, but
he says he thinks since the matter
has become one of public discussion
that dispassionate consideration OF
the proprieties will result in good.
He wishes to say for many of his
pupils and patrons that they have al
ways been observant of the correct po-
sition in the waltz. Like many others
who enjoy the dance as healthful ey-
ercise and social communion p.op-
erly conducted, Prof Simpkins saws
he would regret any sweeping asser-
ton or consideration which would
class all the dancers of Durango in
one category.
The Herald does not care much t.
discuss the peoples affairs which are
so nearly of private character, yet
for public observance, but since Prof.
Simplins himself admits that there is
some fault to find with the position
taken by some of the dancers of Dn-
range in waltz, it is to be hoped that
1t Will not be necessary in future for
newspapers to discuss it.

II Is hardly to be expected that any
attention will be paid by President
Roosevelt to the chorus of outcries
and protests from various parts of the
country that he take more care OF

country through the woods, causing
the troopers of the Seventh cavalry
to be knocked off their horses in

tude is adopted toward our strenuous
president the more he will resent 1t;
as he resented the solicitude of the

you feel pain?' "Oh. I'm all right,
