Port OF Spain, Island of Trinidad.
/ SeIs. PA leading German mer-
chant who recently escaped from Cut
!. dad, Bolivar, arrived here yesterday
and made a statement under oath be-
fore the officials here, setting forth
that on August 20 the Venezuelan
Warship Restaurador when steaming
up the Orinoco river for the second
time in order to lombard Cuidad.
hoisted the American flag in order to
be able to reach that city without
arousing the suspicious of the in
habitants as to her identity and that
by this strategy sthe Restaurador
reached the custom house at Cuidad
and Immediately opened fire on the
center of the city, causing loss of
life and damage to property in the
quarters inhabitated by foreigners.
The merchant also stated that the
foreign censuls and all the population
OF Cuidad protested against the ac-
tions of the Restaurador.
Washington, Sept. 24-The singular
circumstances reported by the Ger
man merchant in the above cable
gram were explained by the receipt
of two cablegrams from United States
Minister Bowen at Carcasas, at the
state department this afternoon.
The first dispatch stated that the
Venezuelan gunboat Restaurador had
approached Cuidad, Bolivar, flying
the American flag. She did not low
er the flag until she was very close to
the shore, when she opened fire upon
the insurgents from her position there,
creating great CONSERVATION.
When the Restaurador returned to
Laguayra the fact was reported to
Minister Bowen. who Indignantly de-
manded a complete apology from the
Venezuelan government, and also that
the flag of the United States be salut-
ed by the offending ship.
The second cablegram from Mr.
Bowen reports that the Venezuelan
government promptly acceded to the
terms, made a suitable apology, and
the commander of the Restaurador
hoisted the American flag and fired a
salute. The matter is still under
consideration by the state and navy
departments.

/ The Platform.
We, the republicans Of Yellowstone
county, in convention assembled de-
clare our allegiance to the princi-
pies of the republican party as set
forth by its national, state and county
platforms. While congratulating our
fellow citizens upon the continued
prosperity Of the country under the
policies and principles for which Will
liam Mckinley stood, we bow in hum
BILE submission and with sorrowful
hearts to the will of Divine Provi-
dence in permitting that pure, right
eous and noble president to be strick-
en- down by the assassin's blow.
We especially favor the continual
tion Of the protective tariff policy
of the republican party, under which
the great agricultural interests of
Montana have prospered so well and
which has made of the city of Bill
ings in Yellowstone county the larg-
est inland wool market of the world.
We confidently appeal to the voters
OF Yellowstone county to approve Of
the policy which has made the county
seat of this county conspicuous COM
mercial center as wool exchange.
We uncompromisingl condemn the
free trade policy of the democratic
party which would place the wool
growers of Montana in unequal COM
petition with the wool producers of |
the world We also denounce as utter.
~ uptenable the contention of demo-
cratic representa- atiyes that they can
CT a ~ |
trade in woolen manufacturers and
other American productions. We are
unalterably opposed to any revision
of the tariff at the hands of the free
trade democracy and at the same time
we favor such revision as may be ap-
proved by the president and the re-
congress, for the purpose of |
thwarting illegal combinations or
We heartily commend the action Of
President Roosevelt in using the pow
rr of the executive department of the
government to enforce the laws of the
United States against unlawful trusts
and combinations and in this connec-
ton we call attention to the striking
contrast between the aggressive pol
icy of President Rooseyelts admin
and the collusion with trusts
and combinations which marked
eight years of the Cleveland admins
tration.
We denounce the hypocrisy of the
democratic party in seeking to re-
pudiate corporation and individual
control of it's policy, in the face Of
the fact that the democratic party in
Montana has at all times. for 20 years,
found its chief inspiration and support
in corporate control and the lavish
use of the money of millionaires.
We are in favor of maintaining the
supreme court and all other courts of
Montana free from corporate or in
iividual control and in this connec-
tion we unhappily feel called upon

have the school trustees in the

postpone opening school until after
tile state fair, which is to be held the
first week in September. The St.

the opening Of school in that city
for a week. ~
Fl Several school boards throughout
the state have been appealed to,
and answers received indicate that
'the plan is meeting with favor.
President Cosgrove is of the
opinion that much which is Of sdu-

visiting the fair, and for this reason
lie urging the postponement of the
opening of the state schools. He
d esires that the pupils and teachers
be given an opportunity to attend
