DIsCLAIMs RESPONSIBILITY.
British Government DisavOws the
Sinking of n Venezuelan Ship.

LONDON, Dec 12.--The Foreign Office an
nounces that the British government dis
claims responsibility for the sinking of the
Venezuelan vessels off Laguayra, which it
entirely attributes to the German forces.
X Is understood that nearly all Of the
Venezuelan news which the British gov
eminent gets comes through the State De-
partment at Washington and is based on
Minister Bowen's messag es. The Foreign
Office here, so far, however, has received
no trace OF the reply to the demands OF
Great Britain and Germany which Ven
those powers through the United States
consul at Laguayra, though it has off,
cially received copy of President Castro's
proclamation.
The Foreign Office has published two of
Minister BOwen's dispatches which were
communicated by the State Department at
which were received by the Foreign Office
last night. Those dispatches relate to the
attack upon the German legation al Car
acas, and give Mr.. Bowen's steps to OBJ
tain the release of the ffty-four German
and British subjects arrested in Caracas,
and the announcement that all the persons
apprehended had been released.
Mr. Bowen's first telegram is dated Cara
cas-, Dec. TO- and is as follows: THE Ger
man legation was attacked last night by
a mob. went at once to the Governor
and obtained police protection for the Ger
man and British legations and the promise
that no further attacks by mobs would be
made. L visited the police station this
morning and talked with all the prisoners,
who number fifty-four in all-forty-four
German and ten British. Some of these
prisoners were so poor that / had TO give
them money to buy food and four of them
were i'll. / expect to get them liberated
within hour. All British and German
subjects in Venezuela. l understand We're
arrested last evening. / shall see the
President and urge him to release them
to-day"
The second dispatch is dated Caracas,
Dec. III, and says: THE President informs
me that he has released all the German
and British subjects who were arrested"

The silver question continues to be one of
the great topics of public discussion in
Mexico. 1t is now certain the silver miners
and farming classes will make common
cause against the adoption of the gold
standard. The miners argue that silver
mines in gold standard countries will have
to shut down at the present price of silver,
while Mexican mines can continue to be op-
Grated; also that silver mining and agricul-
ture are interests with more claim on the
protection of the government than railways
or merchants. Meantime all prices are be-
ing raised and there is much anxiety felt
among the middle classes, especially wage
earners and salaried men. The cost of liv-
ing is considered to be out of proportion to

Views of Constitutional Lawyer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Prof. Henry Wade
Rogers, who now holds the chair of con-
stitutional law in Yale University, is of
opinion that Great Britain and Germany
have not violated the Monroe doctrine in the
present disagreement with Venezuela. Pro-
fessors Rogers was formerly president of
the Northwestern University, and prior to
that was dean of the law department of
the University of Chicago.
In commenting upon the Venezuelan stu
alton he said: 1.-The United States has not
at any time asserted the right to interfere
for the protection of any of the South
American states against the demands of a
European nation seeking the payment of
claims. On the contrary, our government
has again and again disclamed any right
of Interference in such cases"

New Shade of Gray.

Vefy few new colors have come out
this year, but there is one that has a
new name, at all events. Ice gray it
is called; and the shade is really diff
ferent from any of the multitudinous
grays which have been on the market.
Ice gray is not quite a smoke color,
nor is it at all on the drab order; but
it is an attempt at pale, clear, trans
parent looking gray. A blush CLINT or
simmer gives it the name.
New color effects in dress goods are
continually being invented; and every
year we see more beautiful shades
than those we have known before. The
simple pinks and blues and hard grays

combined with white finished by a
trimming of delicate frosty looking
