TALLY to the representatives of all the
friendly powers, cables the Herald cor
respondent at Willemstad, Curacao. This
memorandum was an answer to the note
transmitted last December by ambassador
Won HoHeben to United States Govern
ment.
The German note was not officially
known to the President until the present
time. The Kaisers Government in that
note informed the United States of it's
intention to occupy a Venezuelan port in
order to enforce payment of the German
claims.
President Castro's official answer to that
note is regarded by members of his Gov

tends that Germany has not respected
Venezuela's right to legislate both for
Venezuelan citizens and for foreigners re-

Castro insists that the claims OF the
Germans and other foreigners for their
damages during the civil wars should be
presented to and decided only by Nene-

Germany maintains that satisfaction

tics of Venezuelan courts, which are
President Castro's instruments.
The Kaiser's Government contends that
the claims should be settled by confer
ences between German diplomatic agent
and the Venezuelan Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and in case of disagreement the
matters should be referred to The Hague
international court of arbitration.
President Castro's memorandum de-
clares that the German claims have been
exaggerated and contains a list of refer
ences to authorities on international law
to support the Governments argument.
1t is declared that Germany has not
made a legal argument, but simply a
series of demands, to the validity of
which Venezuela objects.
In conclusion the Venezuelan memoran-
DUN says that the Government presents

A Crazy Fireman
Met Death in
the Deep.
CAPTAIN CAUSED
A QUICK RESCUE
But Suicide Did Not Regain

Buried at Sea.

The steamer Tampico which arrived
from Seattle last evening, after a voy-
age of eleven days, brings a drama
tic story of a man jumping overheard
and the heroic and remarkably quick
work of the officers and men of that
vessel in rescuing his body. Within
ten minutes after he had jumped over
board the steamer had been put about.
a boat manned and lowered, the man
picked up. and his unconscious body
placed on the deck OF the vessel. 1t is
probably the quickest work of the kind
ever done. The man died without be-
ing restored to consciousness.
The tragedy happened when the ves-
sci was only four days out from Seat
tie August Walters, a fireman, forty
five years of age, had been complaining
of illness and was probably out of his
mind. The chief engineer had relieved
him of his duties and he was spending
kis time about the officers quarters try
ing to recover his senses. The officers
had been using him well and thought
to cheer him up by kind words. AT
about four O'Clock Walters jumped
over the side A sailor shouted man
overheard" Captain Ames, the new
master of the Tampico was on the
bridge, and hearing the cry acted very
promptly He brought the vessel
around. sent the mate up into the rig
ging to watch the spot where the man
jumped into the sea, had boat man
ned and lowered in charge of second
mate Healy, and by keen judgment
brought the vessel back to the exact
place where the man had jumped over.
The boats crew secured the body
promptly.
The body still had life in II when
brought on deck and the captain used
every means in his power to restore
consciousness but in an hours time life
was pronounced extinct. Arrangements
were made at once for the burial At
seven o'clock the steamer was stopped
and amid the tolling Of the vessels bell
the captain read the burial service and
the body was sent to it's final resting
place by being put into the sea for a
second time.
The entries in the vessels log give
a brief account of the tragedy. They
say: "At S:51 p. m. in lat S4-14 north
and longitude 1862 west August Wal
ters. fireman, who had been complain
ing of feeling i'll and was on duty.
Jumped overheard. The life boat was
brought on board and all efforts were
made to revive him but without sue
cess. At 5:15 it was decided that life
was extinct and preparations were
made for burial. At O'Clock the ves-
sci was stopped and the man was
buried"
Captain Ames was formerly master
of the transport Hancock, and is wei
known in Honolulu.
