Especial to the News and Observer
Sanford, n. c., Dec. 13.-A survey
has been made for proposed railway
from Sanford via Ionesboro in a south
easterly direction. A prominent man here
told your correspondent few days ago
that this was the beginning of good
things for our town, as this new line will
traverse and open up very fine section
of North Carolina. The line from here
to Jonesboro will run parallel with the
Atlantic Coast Line and thence south,
leaving the Atlantic Coast Line TO the
left.
The Sanford Commercial Association
was organized about six months ago, and
already the fruits of their labor are ~,
in evidence, as they are opening up a
new road from Avent's Ferry, on the
Cape Fear River, to this place. This
road will add greatly to the commerce
of our town, as this new road will lessen
the distance several miles, and the
farmers will take advantage of this new
road, as they will have access to a good
cotton market and will have improved
road to traverse.

ITALY MAY MAKE DEMANDS.
Castro Orders That Reprisals Cease---Further
Efforts Looking to Arbitration.
(By the Associated Press.)


Caracas, Dec. ia new complication
has arisen. 1t is feared that Italy will
deliver memorandum asking for the
same treatment as demanded by Great
Britain and Germany. Up to the present
moment it is impossible to obtain definite
information on the matter, but the Italian
legation denied the delivery of any ulti-
matum.
The news of the arrival of the British
commodore, Montgomery, at La Guaira,
has created excitement at Caracas, but
up to five o'clock tonight the authorities
here have no knowledge of his design. In
government circles it is believed that a
notification of the blockade of the Vene-
zuelan coasts will be transmitted.
1t is learned from government source
that on the advice of Minister Bowen
a calm and cool attitude for "a hours
more has been advocated and that If the
Anglo German forces disembark at La
Guaira the troops at the fort and in the
newly erected redoubts will not fire on
them, the object being to obtain time for
Washington to answer as to the pro-
posal for arbitration made to Berlin and
London.
President Castro has taken up new
attitude Strong in Venezuelas rights,
he has ordered that reprisals are to
cease, and yesterday he gave instructions
that all the property of the British and
German railroads and British telephone
companies should be returned. The gov
eminent will retain still the control of
the La Guaira railroad, but it's admins
tration will be left independent.
Patriotic demonstrations took place
again yesterday and today. The Vene-
zuelans have decided also to boycott all
goods manufactured in Germany and
Great Britain and in all stores notices
are posted declaring that henceforth
the owners will refuse to sell goods COM
ing from those countries.
At one o'clock this afternoon, a special
train left Caracas for La Guaira taking
Alfred Bolhm, a leading German mer-
chant and a German banker of Caracas:
The German consul accompanied them
part of the journey. They are going on
board the Vineta on a special mission
to try and obtain Germany's acceptance
of arbitration.
President Castro gave the passports,
though the initiative in this mission was
taken by Germans and not by the gov
eminent.

The Demand is Made.
(Ry the Associated Press.)

Caracas, Dec. 13.-It is now stated
that Italy has handed to the Venezuelan
government similar demands to those
made by Germany and Great Britain for
the payment of her claims
The immediate object of the German
commission in coming to La Guaira is to
try and induce the commodore to delay
the blockade.
Popular demonstrations continue here
and the government is protecting the
German legation, in which Madame Won
Pilgrim Baltazzi is lying ill. 1t is i'm
possible to remove her to the United

Union Will Wait Year Before Asking
for Increased Pay.
(By the Associated Press.)

tBy the ASSOCldleu IIGSS'J
Chicago. Dec. 13.-Three thousand men,
hers of the Cigar Makers Union will
wait for another year before demanding
a wage increase, because they do not
wish to increase the expenses of their
employers, who are fighting the so-called
Tobacco Trust. Fer several months, a
large proportion of the membership of
the union has been agitating the intro
duction of the Spanish bill system of
making cigars. This would increase the
wage of the workmen from 81 to Sc a
thousand So eager We're the agitators
to have the system introduced that they
were willing to strike to gain it,
George j. Thompson then told of the
struggle of the independent and union
manufacturers to resist the inroads Of
the so-called Trust. The Trust factories
he asserted. are run by non-union and
under paid women and children so that
the combination can sell cigars at from
81 to Sc thousand less than the indie
pendentS.
Strike talk was dropped first, and when
the vote was put the proposition was
defeated by a vote of 2 to /.

From d. C. Garlic, who represented

an advance of per cent, restoring
the wages which were in effect before
the panic in 1898, when a general re

the National Cycling association grand
circuit is now on and before it ends in
September the champion cyclist of
America will be known to all followers
of the sport. This years circuit prom
ises to have more of an international
flavor than ever before, for a number
of foreign riders are slated to follow
the big line. Among them are Plug
ger Bill' Martin, who now claims to
be an Australian, although he was
born in Lowell, Mass, and Frank
Beachamp, who was born in Austria

brief hunt for honors and dollars. 1t
is too early as yet to predict who will
win the coveted honor, but the friends
OF Frank Kramer are confident that
the Jersey flyer will land at the top,
as he did last season. He has some
strong competitors, though, in John
