The warning of the secretary OF
agriculture that the foot and mouth
disease may reach the west has
caused some uneasiness. Those who
explain his language say he meant
that its spread in the middle states
would close all our ports to the ex-
port of cattle. The disease has never
been known in the west, and comes
into the Atlantic states from Europe
and Canada. Experts say it yields
readily to inspection and isolation.
Cattle infected with the disease do
not get far from the Atlantic sea-
board.

Caracas, Dec. 15.-President Castro

fatty refused to accept the ultimatum
OF Germany and Great Britain His de-
nance means war. Here are the points
in which he throws down the gauntlet
to the nations whose fleets now wait in
the harbors of Venezuela with shotted
guns and decks cleared for action:
AS to Germany President Castro re-
fuses
10 recognize that the German claim
to settlement of debts through diplo-
matte channels is superior to the Vene-
zuelan constitution.
10 admit that these claims can be
collected other than by action in the
ordinary courts of Venezuela.
10 pay Germany without delay
1,718,815 bolivars.
TO make declaration Immediately
recognizing the justice of other Ger
man claims based on the construction
of a slaughter house at Caracas and the
interest on the script of the great Ven
ezuelan railway and to accept the YER
dict of a mixed commission as to the
amounts.
AS to England President Castro re-
fuses
To accept the British Interpretation
OF the Ben RICH incident. (The Ben
RICH is the British steamer that was
charged with bringing munitions of
war to the revolutionists).
To make declaration recognizing
the justice of the British claims aris-
ing out of Venezuelan interference
with British ships and the imprison-
ment or ill-treatment of British sub
jects during the Venezuelan civil wars.
To accept the decision of a mixed
commission as to the amount and
quantity of the payment of other Brit
ish claims.

Expresses Gratitude.

New York, Dec. 15.-A cable message
was sent to President Castro asking
him for a statement as to the justice
of his cause. The following reply was
received from Caracas:
THE president directs me to express
to the people of the United States his
gratitude for the sympathy that the
just cause of Venezuela has awakened
in them, as they seem to understand
that the principal object of Germany
and England is to establish here a gov
eminent dependent upon those ma
tions, for which it is generally be-
lieved that the claim upon Venezuela
is simply preteXt.
'"The president believes this to be i'm
possible of realization, because of the
justice of our cause and the feeling of
the Venezuelan people, who support
the government, and because it is con-
trary to the Monroe doctrine.
