"PACIFIC BLOCKADE"
No Such a Thing, Says Balfour, and
War Does Exist with Venezuela.

London, Dec. 17.-In the course of a
long statement in the house of COM
mons today, Premier Balfour said
there is no such thing as a Pacific
blockade" A state of war actually ex-
listed with Venezuela and an imitation
of blockade would shortly be given to
the powers.
"The blockade will be carried out by
Great Britain and Germany along diff
ferent portions of the coast and though
the two fleets will have the same OBJ
jects, they will not act as one force
We never had any intention of landing
troops in Venezuela or of occupying
territory even temporarily. We do not
think it desirable on either military or
other grounds"
Balfour concluded his statement
with saying he could make no an
nouncement as to whether the offer of
arbitration from Venezuela would be
accepted by Great Britain.

MINISTER BOWEN.
He Is Kept Busy in Venezuela Looking
Out for Various interests.

washington, Dec. 1.-THE Spanish
minister, and Baron Monchour, the
Belgian minister, have not received
official adyices relative to the Joint
note their governments have addressed
to President Castro, asking that in the
event of settlement of claims of the
allied powers, Spain and Belgium be
given similar treatment. Baron Mon
chour regards the position of his coun-
try as thus far neutral, but in case
circumstances change his attitude it is
likely that Minister Bowen will be re-
quested to look after Belgian interests
In the Venezuelan capital. Mr.. Bowen's
position is realized to be one of ex-
traordinary difficulty. He is now in
charge of the interests of Great Britain
Germany, Italy and Holland, besides
those OF the United States, and may be
called upon to take charge of those re-
mainder European countries, with the
possible exception of France, which re-
mains OF pleasant relations with Ven
eZuela.

The Election Is Still Going on in the
Centennial State.


Denver, Dec. 1.-THE court of ap-

mer regarding the state board of can
yassers to certify to the election of c.
a. Cooper, republican, instead OF j. II.
Whitelaw, democrat, as representative
from San Juan county, holding that
the court had no right to interfere
thus with the executive officers in the
performance of their duties. This de-
cision has important bearing on the
election of a United States senator,
as it leaves the state board of can

story of one of the prisoners now in
confinement at the city Jail.
During the territorial fair young
man named Denny, alias Myers, was
arrested on the charge of forgery. Sew
eral checks for small amounts, one on
W. w. Strong, and others on other
citizens, were passed by Denny. He
was apprehended in the act, arrested
and tried in Justice court. He waived
examination and was bound over to
the grand jury. After he was placed
in the Jail he played the insane dodge
to perfection, claiming he knew moth.
ing that transpired since he left Den.
yer. At the time of his arrest about
$12 was found on him, and was turned
over to the parties on whom he forged
the check.
The marshal visited the Jail the 9TH

rational mind, asked the marshal If he
could have the money which was TAX
en- from him when arrested.
Marshal McMillin looked at him a
minute and said: Il thought your
mind was a perfect blank at that time.
II you remember that money so well.
you surely remember how you obtain

Denny saw that he had given him
self away and had no more to say.
He played the insane dodge so well
after his arrest that physician was

TAKING TESTIMONY.
Coal Operators Shown Up as Unfair in
Their testimony.


Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE miners
today put on the witness stand before
the coal strike commission, the fathers
of two of the little girls who had testi-
fled on Monday that they worked all
night in silk mills.
The operators yesterday submitted
wage statements showing that one of
these men and his laborer received
s1,6S1 and the other and his laborer
were paid 81, 400 last year.
John Demko, father of one of the
girls, said four and sometimes six men
figured in the division of the $1,40O.
The other miner claimed that four
men divided the $1,6S1.
After the witness left the stand,
Chairman Gray asked for an explana-
tion from the Pennsylvania Coal com.
pany regarding the wages of men. The
wages mentioned by the company were
handed to the commission some days
ago and did not indicate that more
than two persons figured in the dis
tribution. w. A. May, general man.
ager of the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany, explained that because of the
system in vogue in the company's
mine it would be difficult to show in
every case how many men shared in
one pay.
C. S. Darrow, for the miners, said
the miners had no confidence in the
figures submitted by the company and
added that the way they were handed
in was unfair.

that sense has been or will be sent
through Minister Bowen.
Great Britain will make a similar
answer. These statements are not
made officially. but are arrived at from
an excellent source.
A formal notification of the block
ade of the Venezuelan coast by the
war vessels of the allied powers is
likely to be issued tomorrow. 1t is
understood that the ships of the Unit
ed States will be on precisely the same
basis as those of other nations.

Witnessed Indian Dance.

Colonel John Borradaile and p. +.
McCanna visited Los Griegos one day
last week, and Witnessed the annual
feast and dance of the Malachines.
The dance is traditional with Monte
yuma. A small girl dressed in fam
tastic costume, representing the daugh-
ter of Montezuma, headed the process
sion. The dance is an honored relig-
ious ceremony among the native peo-
pie. The Indians participating are ar
rayed in fantastic costumes and their
faces, arms and legs are painted to
represent weird and mysterious be-
ings. The idea that these gentlemen
visited the dance for the purpose Of
securing their services for the remote
territorial fair is erroneous, as these
dances are religious ceremonies, and
they would not consent to make
snowy performance.

A Few Local Happenings and Sights
Around Town.

The extraordinary funny farce,
Browns in Town" was the only play
seen by the audience, while the act
ors were enacting a comedy behind
the scenes by doing their best to keep
warm. The costumes for the play
were negngee and summer gowns.
The conversation was about flower
gardens, dusty and hot roads and burn
ing sunshine, yet the actors were shiv-
ering and praying for heat. 1t reach
ed an alarming stage, and it looked as
il it would be tragedy before the last
act. But the continued dancing and
lively stunts between plays and ap-
pearance they managed to keep warm
