Caracas. Dec. 1.-THE governor of

Minister Bowen yesterday politely re-
fused to have a monster patriotic par
ade pass before the United States lega-
ton. Everyone here hopes that the
arbitration proposed by Venezuela
through Mr.. Bowen and Washington
win be granted.
When the combined fleets seized the
Venezuelan ships at La Guayra, the
German commander delivered 10 the
Venezuelan captains the following doc.
ument;

the command OF the commodore Of the
German squadron in West Indian wa

request YOU to lower your ships ilaa
immediately and leave your ship with

government to recognize our just de-
mands In case you disobey and wish
to defend your ship shall be obliged

Further details of the sinking OF the
Venezuelan ships have been obtained
from an entry made in the book Of the
slgnalmen Of the fortress Of La Quay
ra. 1t is as follows
Tuesday. 8, 1880 night. The adjutant
called me to see II knew the steamer
Retribution of the English navy was
towing the steamers Crespo and To-
tune, OF the national navy. three or
four miles north had heard four cam
non shots and said the two steamers
had disappeared and understood they
had been sunk by the Vineta and Retri-
button. At the end of an hour the Re-
tribution returned to the harbor alone.
(Signed,) signal Commander Of
tho Forts"
The fact that the Retribution return
ed to La Gauyra alone two hours after
leaving with the captured vessels was
confirmed by English residents OF La
Guayra. Consequently she did not have
time to conduct the Venezuelan ships to
Curacao or Trinidad.
1t is now said that the object OF the
German cruiser Panther In sailing for
Maracaibo is to capture the Venezuelan
steamer Mirinda, formerly the Spanish
torpedo boat Diego Velasauez, and the
remaining vessels OF the Venezuelan
fleet.

Frisco robbers was sentenced to inn
prisomment for life and the other, by
another judge, was ''scnt up" for
twenty-seVen years. Different judges
have very different conceptions of the
duty they owe to society in imposing
the sentences Of the law upon men con-.
victed of crime. The day before the
two sentences above referred to were
inpdsed, Larry Kelly, the notorious
smuggler, who had been arrested Ihe
preceding Monday in Portland with
$500 worth of contFahand opium in his
possession, was sentenced by the judge
of the United States court there to six
months imprisonment IL the county
Jail, from which he had been liberated
only short time before after serving a
short sentence for u ike oflense. Had
he been convicted in Judge landlords
court in Seattle and sentenced by him
the chances are that he would have
been fined about 81 200 and sent to Nc
Neil's island for several years.

J. \. Gould, who recently returned
from al extended trip in California,
having traversed the entire length nl
,hc great state and visited It's mo- t
widely advertised places, is more ell
iiusiastic than ever before in bis belief
~ the great future of this state, and
especially of the Puget Sound region.
H." evidently regards the systematic
aud successful fleeing of tourists and
transient sojourners in search of health
ad recreation az the chief industry of
the resident population OF Southern
California, and the ingenuity eXhil'-
tied 10y experts In, this industry IN
making the most Of commonplace
things seems to have commanded his
admiration, and none the less so be-
cause he was all the while conscious
that he was being "worked." He says
that the natural attractions Of the re-
gion about Los Angeles and San Diego
hIe insignificant in comparison with
those Of Puget Sound and that the san
Juan archipelago offers far more of real
interest to tourists and pleasure seekers
than can he found anywhere in South
crn California, whore many Thousands
of people have been induced to settlc
and millions of dollars have been at
tracted for Investment through the
medium of judicous, systematic ami

the results would undoubtedly be
astonishing.
