CARACAS. Dec. l2.-sThe govern.
ment has taken preseryatlye measures
at La Guayra. All the deposits OF
coal al the navy yard ard all the Brit.
ish cars on the La Guayra railroad

Yesterday, after a long conference
with President Castro. United States
Minister bowen obtained an order for
the liberation OF the remaining Brit
ish and German subjects who are held
prisoners. and an hour later all had
been released. Minister Bowen and
Secretary Of Legation Russell went to
Jail five times and assisted the poor
colored British subjects and those who
were III. The order for the release Of
the prisoners has made good impress
sion and is looked upon as a polite
act on the part of President Castro.
Every one In Caracas believes the
situation to be desperate and threat
ems war unless Minister Bowen sue
ceeds, In having the matters in dispute
submitted 10 arbitration.
1t is said on the authority of an Of
fetal near to President Castro that the
president has allowed Minister Bowen
to communicate with the Berlin and
London governments through the state
department at Washington, this being |
the only hope of avoiding serious
conflict. It is reported that the plan
of the British and German froces is
to secure the forts of La Guayra and
Porto Cabello,
II is stated on good authority that
the Venezuelan government has asked
United States Minister Bowen to act
as arbitrator in the controversy with
Great Britain and Germany. The Eng
ish telephone office here has been
seized.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-Miguel Alma
Pietro Gonzales, a merchant of Cara
cas-, Venezuela, who Is on a business
trip through the United States. has
arrived in Chicago, In an interview
last night he said;
President Castro is man OF abb
normal ambition and believes that
some day he will be the Diaz of Ven
ezuela. II is said TO be his ambition
to bring about a union of the South
American republics and to place him
self at the head of 1t.
"He evidently thinks that the Unit
ed States will side with him in the
present imhrogllo and, If necessary,
viii support his operations against
England and Germany
THE conservative people in vene-
zuela are strongly opposed TO his ag-
gressive policy. The radical element.
however Is with HIM in the belief that
Venezuela is powerful enough to re-
sist England and Germany"

on weeds, taking the garden of the sloth-

common weeds were used and shown in

likened to our thoughts, our words and

Grand Island,

Grand Island, Neb., June g 1902.
Mr.. EDITOR There are many friends
in Randolph who wish me to inform them
how found things in Zion City, in taxi
ing our western trip. | kindly ask little
space in the HERALD AND News for this
purpose.
We arrived in Chicago at S 80 p. M, May
21st Mrs Spear took the train through
to Nebraska. while Roy and myself stop
ped for the night at Zion college on Mich
igan boulevard, one Of the finest streets in
Chicago.
Next day we left for Zion City, ~ miles
north from Chicago. | was very much
impressed with the way business is done
there. To go back a little, the 10th OF last
July there were but few farm houses. At
that date the first series of lots were sold.
AT present, there are about 400 buildings,
with a population of nearly, if not more
than, 1900. The people are coming in so
fast it is hard to tell. AT the rate now, II
is estimated by the officers of the city that
there will be more than ten thousand
people here in less than year. They are
coming from nearly every state. A party
from Vermont will build this summer.
The city contains $500 acres and is an in
corporated city under the laws of the state
of Illinois. Ii is fine site and finely laid
out. many thousands OF trees being set out.
One thing we noticed as very eN-
ferent branches of work, buildings, street
works, banks, investment companies and
many others too numerous to mention.
Every department kneels in prayer every
morning commencing work. There were
1S7 at the place we stopped, nearly all the
working class. All were happy in the
evening, singing hymns. There is no
smoking or drinking. The people do not
have any use for it, neither could they,
for it is positively forbidden in the city.
There is not a drug store i'm the city,
neither can you find the owner of spare
rib. The people want none of him.
The lace workers new buildings are
nearly finished. The main building is 900
feet long and 100 feet wide, bleaching and
dressing room 500 feet long and 100 feet
wide. Eight machines run is hours day,
with two forces of men. There are many
thousands of dollars worth of lace ready
to bleach, which win soon be ready for
market. There viii be 20 new machines
set up as soon as possible. The making Of
these machines, costing 5000 dollars each,
with many hundred parts in each, is slow
work. This one plant alone is estimated
to cover fifty acres of ground, and employ
five hundred people in five years, while
many new industries viii be added.
There are many people in the East who
say that Zion City is only on paper. If
they would come out here and see for
themselves they would be as much sur
prised as myself, for it far surpasses what
