Willemstadt, Island Curacoa, June 25.- Advices received here from Venezuela under date of June 20 says President Castro recently tried to occupy Laveta ton the Gulf of Coro).

 He has done all," continued the Presi- dent. with the certainty of attack. with the certainty of misunderstanding. with the certainty of being hampered by ig- norance. and worse than ignorance that he could not do the best that was in him only the best that conditions would all low of.

I can show my ap- appreciation of them in no way save the wholly insufficient one of standing up for them and for their works, and that I will do."
 Tonight President Roosevelt attended a banquet given in his honor at the All gonquin Club house by the Massachusetts Naval and Military Order of the Spanish American war
 The President made an address during the course of which he said:
 There has been a goood deal of criti- cism and some of 1t of an exceedingly incorporate kind about the actions of the army over in the Philippines. That army
 is composed of exactly such men as those l see here tonight. It is exactly the army that went to Santiago. that went to Porto Rico that stayed in Chicka mauga be- cause it was it's duty to stay there and if praised or blamed it must stand as our representative and we share the praise or the blame with it.
 Within the last fortnight there has been an appalling outrage committed in the Philippines. Four men were captured and after being kept for awhile were put to death by torture. You have heard very little of it and the reason IS that those four men wore the United States uniform. For that deed if it Is possible to exact punishment! punishment will be exacted. You know that any infringe ment of the law; of war will not be tol- erated for moment and that any man wearing our uniform who discredits it by torture shall not be saved from pun ishment by any record of excellence in the past. But let the other side of the case be kept in view also. Let 1t be re- membered that of all forms of cruelty the worst is the weakness which hesi- tates to use just severity when just and pioper severity is needed.
 Peace has almost come in the Philip pines because the ofncerS and enlisted men wearing the national uniform brave ly quietly, uncOmplainingly and with an iron resolution, have gone about their duty needing the foe in front as long as they needed the advancement of those who should have known better behind"
 The President left Boston over the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad for New London where he will witness the Harvard-Yale boat races tomorrow.

SENATE BILL
 AGREED UPON The Canal COnferees Are
 Unanimous. MIR. MORGAN IS FOR PEACE
BurdenS0me Amendments to
 Measure Not Desired.
Hepburn Seeks to Fix Time Limit of Six Months, But Yields to Colleagues in the Con-
 ference.

Washington, June 25-tspecaL) )-About ,con today Senator Morgan gent word to the Alabama delegation in the House that he now considered it advisable to accept the Senate Panama Canal bill just as 1t stood This was taken to mean that the conferees on the bill would agree on the Senate bill. and that was exactly what was done at the afternoon meeting. The decision Of the conferees was to accept the Senate bill without any amendments. it having been shown that the amendments urged by Senator Nor gan and two of the House conferees would not be agreed to by the representa- tives of the Senate. The conference re- port will no doubt be adopted by the House and the matter thus finally settled so far as Congress is concerned.
 The conferees reached complete and unanimous agreement at 2:35 o'clock to- day.
 The conference lasted only half an hour. Before the decision was reported, Mir. Hepburn, on behalf of the House con- ferees, endeavored to secure a modifica-
  the President to six months time in which the title to the Pasama route is to be perfected.
 When this failed, Mir. Hepburn made no further opposition and the Senate amend ment was concurred in exactly the form that it passed the Senate. It was ar ranged that a brief statement should be prepared for presentation to the Senate and House and the conferees separated. Mir. Hepburn intended to submit the reso- lutions to the House this afternoon in order that the conference agreement might be ratified. thus bringing to final termination the legislation on this important project. Later Mir. Hepburn subrlitteh the fol- lowing statement to the Hause. "a'he sf- feet of the action of the conferees. if approved by the House. will be 10 elimin- ate all the provisions of the bill as passed by the House and enacts into legislation all of the provisions of the Senate amend ment.'
 MT. Hepburn will call up the bill for final action tomorrow

This last named society has promised its nor al support and its cooperation.
 The mission Is to be controlled by a council of forty men who have consented to serve in this capacity. with the folJ lowing officers:>
 President. Rev. Timothy Dwight. D. D.. IL. D.
 President. Rev Edwin S. Lins, D. D., of New Haven.
 Corresponding Secretary, W. NJ. Sloan of New York

ALARMING REPORTS UNTRUE.
Denied That the King is in Des-
 perate Condition.


 London, June l5.--(6 p. m)-The reports which are again being circulated In New York of King Edwards desperate con- dition are untrue. Sir Thomas Lipton spent an hour at Buckingham Palace this afternoon and the Associated Press has his authority for making this announcement,
 The chances yesterday said Slr Thomas, were decidedly against his re-S covery, but you can say that at , o'clock he was doing we'll His Majesty's physi- clans are satisfied with his progress. The chances were then in his favor"
 The Kings mind is entirely clear and while Sir Thomas was at the Palace he received word that it was his Majesty's wish that the arrangements for the din- ner to about 500.O00 of the poor of London July should be proceeded with.
 Before tomorrow morning over half a million. invitations will have been sent out The dinner involves the employment of over $500 stewards. an army of walt CTS and 1,5O0 music hall entertainers. All the arrangements are in Sir Thomas Lip tons hands and it can~be imagined that he would not proceed with the final ar raT gements unless he and others were confident of being able to carry them out. The King spent quiet day and he lack of unfavorable developments was regarded as greatly in his favor. No de1- mite prognosticstion- however, regarding his chances for recovery is likely to be publicly ventured by the doctors for sev- eral days.
 Until this morning it was hoped that Fridays procession might occur Satur- day, tha Prince of Wales taking the Kings place. The idea was abandoned today, as the doctors said the King was likely to still be in a critical condition Saturday, and they could not be answer able for what any hour might bring forth, though so far no specially alarm ing symptoms had exhibited themselves. It was practically decided this afternoon that the Prince of Wales will review the colonial troops probably next week. They will then return to their respective coun- tries
 A favorable factor mentioned by several of those at the Palace today was the Kings adaptability to the severe regimen involved

The hearse was demolished. Ernest Hurst and E. Helms were badly hurt. Seven houses were also destroyed and the postoffice damaged

 At Stringtown Mrs. Cicero Hamilton was very seriously injured. At Fishers Sta tion three persons were injured. From that place east into Hancock County the whole country has been greatly damaged.

KINGS. CONDITION MUCH IMPROVES
Edward VHS Physicians HO) <Out Hope for the Recovery Of
 the Sovereign.


 was the Kings first desire that he should be crowned in his bedroom and that the procession should be carried out without him.
 The story of the King and the Epson gypsy is being retold According to this. a gypsy, who was supposed not to have known his majesty's identity, told him he would rise to the throne itself. but would not be crowned king, and same same seer told King Edward he would be so Lnlucky on the turf that even If one of his horses was going to win race, it would fall dead at the winning post This prediction was fulfilled in the case of Counterpane, in 1886. ~ Later at Hamburg. a palmist is said to have foretofd that the King would be- come i'll as he started for his coronation. Whether the stories are true or other wise, the coincidence of their being cur rent this year and the event of yesterday are regarded as remarkable.
