this morning, and all medical skill
and loving ministrations of mother.

on that sleep which God giveth His
beloved.
Mrs. Stanley was only 20 years of

HOPE WILL RETIRE.
Horse Guard Would Not Indorse His
Sea Girt Course.

Atlanta, Jan. Capt. George NJ.
Hope viii retire from the captaincy of
the Governors Horse Guard at the
coming election.
Back of the captains determination
to retire at this time, is said to be the
failure of his command to back him
up In his course i'm the Sea Girt con-
troversy, which created such a stir in
military circles a few months ago. 1t
is said that at the last meeting of the
company, Capt. Hope was anxious for
the passage of a resolution indorsing
his course in the Sea Girt matter. but
the company took no action with re-
gard to it. 1t is said that Capt. Hope
first determined to resign. but was
prevailed upon to remain until the
election. He simply will not stand for
reelection, and it is likely the COM
pany will elect either First Lieut.. Asa
G. Gambler or Second Lieut.. w. T. b.
Wilson. A meeting will be had next
Monday night to decide upon a new
commanding officer.
II looked for a time as II a court
martial would be the outcome of the
Sea Girt controversy, but the matter
appears to have been dropped.

MAKES A CONDITION.
Castro Not Supported in it by the
United States.

Washington, Ian. 1.-The rejoinders
of the European foreign offices to Pres
ident Castro's reply to their arbitra-
ton proposal have not reached Wash
ington. This. however. occasions no
surprise. as the holidays are much
more closely observed in European
capitals than in Washington.
Following the rule which it has
adopted in the treatment of corre-
spondence passing between Venezuela
and the allies. the State Department
still declines to make public any in
formation respecting the details of
President Castros reply, but inquiry
confirms the Associated Press report
from Rome to the effect that Castro
did attach a condition to the accept
ance of the arbitration proposal, and
that condition was not Endorsed by the
Washington government. However. it
is pointed out that 1t has not been re-
garded as necessary at the State De-
partment to either approve or disap-
prove any of the details of the propo-
sitions now in exchange between the
principals.
AS to the condition. attached to the
| acceptance, it can be stated that II is
| not of great consequence, nor is ii
| likely to involve the loss of the arbi-
| tration project, for it is understood to
relate rather to the means of getting
the issue to arbitration than to any
substantial principle involved. 5stq ,

CASTRO SAYS 1T WILL
BE EASY TO SETTLE.
solution Depends More ON Allies
Than Venezuela.


Caracas, Jan. There have been
persistent rumors in official circles and
generally throughout the city since yes
terday that President Castro had re-
fused to agree to the proposals of the
allies to refer the Venezuelan issues
to The Hague. The correspondent of
the Associated Press saw the President
of Venezuela for half an hour this at
ternoon. 1t is not true that the Presi-
dent has declined the proposals of the
Powers; the chief executive declares
clear from what President Castro said
at the interview that he believes it
would be very easy to reach fun
settlement OF the entire controversy.
President Castro said:
IF settlement is not reached it
will be because a settlement forms no
part of the plan of the allies; in this
case the prolongation of the present
situation would be disastrous for all
concerned. The solution of the present
difficulty depends more on the allied
Powers than on Venezuela"
The President was then questioned
as to whether or not he would renOunCe
the presidency, and if it was his pur-
pose to make a change in the present
cabinet. He replied:
People are at liberty to talk what
ever nonsense they want to; l viii
make a change in the cabinet when
the present serious question is ended"

Mazatlan, Mex, Jan. There is no
longer the slightest doubt that the
disease now affecting this city is gen.
uine Asiatic plague, for microscopic
investigation proves that bubonic pest
bacilli are in the blood of those af-
fiicted with the disease.
The plague has grown virulent with
in the last forty-eight hours, and the
alarm, which has begun in some meas
ure to abate, has returned with in
creased strength. The people are
fleeing from the city at the rate of 300
per day, and some 5000 have already
gone.
1t is a remarkable fact that more
than so per cent. of the persons at
tackled are women.
The news of the recrudescence of
the plague at this port has reached
the interior towns of the state and is
causing a panic. Sanitary cordons
of armed men have been placed around
the towns to prevent the entrance of
anyone from this place.

A further interchange of views, pre-

ade is relied upon to hasten the con-
clusion of the arbitration preliminaries,
especially on the part of Venezuela.

Kiehl and her mother, Mrs. Addie Fen

South Ononaga to-day by the sheriff
of Cortland county on coroner's war
rants, charging them with the muir
der of William Kiehl, husband of Mrs.
Kiehl They were taken to Cortland.
This is the outcome of the inquest
at which evidence was produced tend
ing to show that William Kiehi died
of arsenical poisoning.
This is the second time Mrs. Kiehl,
the 1S-year-old country girl, has been
arrested. Several months ago she was
accused of poisoning Adam Kiehl, her
brother-in-law, the theory of the pros
ecution being that she killed him to
prevent his marriage to another wom-
an. She was freed.
The officials began an investigation
into the death of the girls husband,
who expired some time before his
brother, Adam, under almost similar
circumstances. The result came when
the warrants were issued for the ar
rest of both the girl and her mother.
