Trouble Brewing Between

venezuela Is angry with Great 6rlIalh
on Account of the Raising Of British
Flag on Island of Pstos In Spite OF
Protestations.
Caracas, Venezuela. Oct. 4.-(Cor.
respondence of The Associated Press
Diplomatic relations are very strained
between Venezuela and Great Brit
ain, and should the revolution not tri.
umph all circumstances justify pre-
diction of a rupture between the two
countries. The Venezuelan chancel.
lory is very angry at the hosting CT
the British flag, in spite of its protesta'
tions, on the island of Palos; ami
President Castro in his conversations
with the British Representatives has
been very far from pleasant. In an
interview which General Castro grant.
ed the correspondent a short time ago,
he said, referring to the commence
ment of the Matos revolution and the
incident of the revolutionary steamer
Ban Righ;
1T is now several months since tha
Ban Righ, chartered by the Matos rev.
olution, arrived at Trinidad and ne
protested against her presence at that
island. The British minister (Mr,
Haggard) Immediately repaired to the
foreign office and assured General
PachaDo (the Venezuelan minister Of
foreign affairs) that he would do ali
he could to obtain from his govern.
ment that the Ban Righ and all revo-
lutionists residing at Trinidad and the
other British West Indian islands
should receive orders to leave and not
to return to those islands if the Vene2.
uelan government would agree that
the surtax of 80 per cent imposed IN
the customs on goods coming from the
British West Indies, on their entry
into Venezuela, should be repealed. A
cabinet meeting was held at which
General Pachano submitted Ministe:
Haggard's proposal. 1t was rejected
as unworthy of consideration, and the
question remained at that stage. 1t
seems, therefore, from these facts that
the British government through it's rep
resentative here offered security
against the revolutionary party in ey-
change for a commercial advantage.
The president added: These pro
ceedings ought to be known to the
civilized world" and rising and poinJ-

"And if tomorrow those fields are de-
Iuged with blood, it viii be due only

we're sick were put this treatment, and those who

never had another case of fever.

Real estate sales for the week were light.
but demand for rentals was heavy. The

with real-estate men, and they are besieged
with inquiries for property where gas will

water heat and apartment houses are filled
up and many more could be rented if they
were available. There is a scarcity of
rental property. Real-estate agents per-
haps never had such small lists as now.

be deprived of gas. On the contrary, prices
generally have advanced. People must
have houses to live in, and so long as the
present demand exists rents will be held up.
The lists of rental agents show a universal

Philadelphia Times.
A lawyer who has won some distinction
through his success in compromising suits
for damages by accident says his most in
teresting client was a Swedish farmer from
Delaware county, whose wife had been
killed here in Philadelphia by a train cross
ing the streets at a grade.
The widower was simply incOnsolable,
and, having been told that he could get
$4,000 if he insisted on pushing the case,
refused for months TO talk compromise.
The lawyer, of course did all possible TO
keep the hearing back. in the hope of dis
couraging the Swede, and at last he was
rewarded by an offer to settle at a reason
able figure.
The Swede called, the lawyer said $500,
and the bereaved one quickly accepted. As
he folded the check and pocketed it he
observed:
Veil, l deed not do so padlee! I'fe got
fif' hoondred tollar and a goot teal better
wife than / had before. She and me was
