President Castro of Venezuela
Keeps the Bars UP on M. Secre-
stat, Of Bordeaux.
FRENCH CITIZENS RIGHTS INVOLVED.
1t Is Claimed Tint the Incident
Makes 1T Necessary For the
French Government TO rake
steps to Cause the Rights Of
French Citixens'to Be Respected.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Jan
25.-In spite Of the protests made by
the French consul here, President
Castro has sustained the action on
the Venezuelan authorities at La
Guayra, who refused to permit M
Secrestat, Jr.. of Bordeaux, to land,
although the government has preyi-
ously assured the consul that the
traveller might debark. 1t is held by
the authorities that while the French
line steamer ST. Laurent, on which M,
NJ. Secrestat was a passenger, was at
Fort de France, island of Martinique.
or at the island of Trinidad, he con-
ferred with Gen. Matos, the revolu,
tionary leader. The consul made in
ouiries on the subject which estab-
ished the fact that Gen. Matos was
not at Martinique or at Trinidad
when the ST. Laurent touched at
those islands; but was off the Vene-
zuelan coast. on board the revolu-
tionists' steamer Libertador. All the
passengers of the st. Laurent, and
notably the secretary of the Spanish
legation at Caracas, assert that the
behavior Of NJ Secrestat was always
most correct, and that he did not see
Gen. Matos.
1t is claimed that this incident
makes it necessary for the French
government to take the steps neces'
sary to cause French citizens to be
respected. and it is believed that the
French cruisers Tage and Suchet
now at Fort de France, will receive
orders to go to La Guayra.
The French cruiser Desires is a.
Carupano, a seaport town in the state
of Bermudez, Venezuela.
M. Secrestat, Jr., the son OF a, mer
chant of Bordeaux, France, arrived
at Guayra, January IA. with the inten
ton Of going to Caracas to protest
there against the seizure OF the es
tates of Gen. Matos by the Venezue
Ian government, the generals prop
erty having been LEGALLY leased to n
Secrestat, Sr. The French govern
ment. january 16, cabled to Caracas
instructing the French consul here t.
insist that NJ Secrestat, Jr., be per
mitted to land.

STORY OF THE CAPTURE.
Nrme. Tsilka Relates How She and
Miss stone were Captured by
the Brigands.
2us protest

London, Jan. 25.-The Daily Graphic
prints an interview which it's artist
correspondent had with Nine. TsillSa,
the companion of Miss Ellen M.
Stone, in regard to the capture OF
the party. Most of the story is al
ready known. Nine. Tsilka says the
band numbered 25 men and that they
were all Bulgarians. The leaders
faces were blackened with charcoal.
This caused some of the captives at
first to believe they were peasants
playing joke.
After the brigands had led the
party into forest they brought up
Turkish peasant, whom they had
previously captured, beat him with
the butt end of their rifles, shot him
dead, and then plunged their knives
| into his body. Nine. Tsill<a supposed
the murder was committed in order
to intimidate the missionaries. Miss
Stone and Nine. Tsilka were taken
away and the rest of their party re-
manned on the mountain side allnight
long. On the following morning the
bandits led the companions of Miss
Stone and Mime. TsiTka to the road
| and ordered them to return to Ras-
log. The bandits did not offer any
| violence to the captives.

coming season in American waters

Shamrock being put in commission, the
Larchmont, New York and Atlantic

them to race for. The Newport Asso-
citation also would like to arrange
races, and there is the $500 Lawson

CLUB might offer if the yachts go to
Boston.
1t is not known if the Columbia will
be placed in commission or not.

Ancient Lightning Rods.

The ancients did not have lightning
rods constructed as ours are, but they
had lightning conductors, which shows
that they knew how to protect them,
selves from the danger that lies in a
thunderstorm. Even SO long ago as
the tenth century lightning was divert
ed from fields by planting In them
long sticks or poles. on top Of which
were lance heads. 1t Is said that the
Celtic soldiers used to try to make
themselves safe from the stroke dur
ing q storm by lying on the ground
with their naked swords planted point
upward beside them.
There was long ago on the shore Of
the Adriatic sea a stronghold known
az DUNE castle. IN the highest tower
Of which there was an iron rod that
was used as a means of telling when q
storm was approaching in summer. A
soldier was always stationed neal the
rod when the sea had a threatening
look. and It a his duty to frequently
put the iron point of his javelin close
to the rod, watching for the spark that
would tell him it was time to warn the
fishermen by ringing a big bell.
