TROUBLE AROSE OVER AWARD
Correspondence Made Public in Caracas
Accuses Spanis1 Umpire of Copy
ing Decision Against Venezuela.

The action of Spain in Withdrawing the
exequaturs OF all the Venezuelan
consuls in Spain. announced in the press
dispatches Of this morning, is generally
accredited TO disagreement which
arose in Caracas over the award OF GER
tain claims against Venezuela.
The claims involved were urged by the
government of Mexico and heard by two
arbitrators, one from Mexico and The
other from Venezuela, and their decision
was reported TO an umpire, who was the
Spanish minister to Caracas. 1t is alIeg-
ed by friends of the Mexican arbitrator
that he and his Venezuelan associate
reached an agreement awarding judg-
ment Of about $4,000 in favor Of Mexico
and that the Venezuelan arbitrator, Dr.
Iribarrea. was obliged by President
Castro to withdraw from the agreement.
Thereupon the umpire concurred in the
Mexican contentious. The result was
that the last named Official the Spanish
minister, was Immediately made the
target for so much abuse that he was
forced to leave Venezuela in haste.
1t is also alleged that just preceding
this incident the Spanish consGl at La
Guaira was treated with discourtesy by
the Venezuelan authorities at that port.
Further interest is given the dispute
over the Mexican claims against Ven
ezuela, although the matter is hardly
made more clear by two letters recently
made public in Caracas.

Among the documents contained in the
additional correspondence relating to
the recent revolution on the Isthmus OF
Panama which the President yesterday
transmitted to the House, is a transla-
tion OF the manifesto issued by the new
republic after the declaration of indie
pendence had been signed and adopted
1t sets forth to the people of that coun-
Try and TO the world some of the causes
which have prompted the action taken

Long is the recital Of grievances the
inhabitants of the isthmus have suf-
fered from their Colombian brothers;
but these grievances would have been
withstood with resignation for the sake
of harmony and national union. had
such a thing been possible. and If we
could have entertained well-founded
hope of improvement in the system un-
der which we were placed by that re-
public. We do soleTanly declare we have
the sincere and profound conviction that
all these hopes were futile. and useless
were all the sacrifices on our part
Tyrannical Government.
"The Isthmus Of Panama has been
governed by the Republic of Colombia
with the narrow-mindedness that in past
time was applied to their colonies by
the European nations"
The manifesto then goes on to say
the isthmus was a source of fiscal Heve-
npe and nothing more; that the rail-
road and Panama Canal contracts and
negotiation and national taxes collected
on the isthmus have netted to Colombia
large sums OF which Panama has not
received any benefit. even a bridge for
one of its numerous rivers. the con-
struction of single road, or a public
building or a college; that Colombia
has manifested no interest in advancing
Panama's s industries.
"A very recent example of what We
have related above" says the manifesto.
lis what has occurred with the nego-
tiations of the Panama Canal. which.
when taken under consideration by the
Congress was rejected in a summary
manner
In view OF such notorious causes the
manifesto says, the people Of the 18th

to the prosperous trade conditions cf the
country.
In regard to the estimate Of revenues
for the current fiscal year, it is said II
the present Congress makes reduction
on any objects which are large revenue

at fault. At present there is a strong
feeling among the PRODUCERS of distilled
spirits that she tax should be reduced
from Sl.l0 per proof gallon TO 90 or 70
cents. A strong sentiment exists for re-
lieving alcohol used in the arts and
manufactures from tax If such changes
are made in the laws the reduction in

The Mexican Side.

In bne of these letters the Mexican
arbitrator asserts that the award which
he signed on the I'd OF October. and for
which I assume the entire responsibility.
ought to have been given and signed
by the COmmi ssioners or arbiters of
the Mexico-Venezuelan claims commits

them. and because they had received
the approval of the minister OF foreign
affairs. DR.. Alexandra Urbaneia, which
was given after he lad examined a long
part submitted TO him by the Venezuelan
commissioner, DR.. 1ribarTen
Everything was ready for the sigma
ture Of the document which would con-
firm the sentence. Even the day had
been fixed for the session, and l had
been informed. as umpire Of the COM
mission, of the result OF the investiga-
tons made ard the resolutions adopted
by the two commissioners.

COPIED" Mexican Award.

According to the records which re-
main in the ministry. and should be
published il order 70 safeguard the
honor OF the commission, everyone viii
be convinced that Mr.. Gaytan de Ayala
had. indeed, very little work to do, since
his award in the Mexican matter is
nothing but a copy Of the conclusions OF
the Mexican agent and those OF tho
Mexican aTbiter in the discussion Of
the matter, and that Il is the fact that
he had IN his pocket the award prepared
by Mexico herself, and left in it the i'm
press Of his ire against Venezuela. mani
Testing palpably his spirit of reprisal.
He had to avenge the withdrawal OF
the exequatur OF the consul at La
Guaira, and there was no more oppor-
tune occasion

Work Of Bureau Increasing.

The work Of the bureau is said 70 be
increasing constantly. Thus, in 1892 the
total production Of spirits was, in round
numbers, 132. .000.ts)0 gallons, while in 1908
IL was 14s. .o00.0Oo gallons. There have
been large increases in the amount of
tobacco manufactured and the amount
Of beer produced. and consequently
heavier work I'm the collection districts
and in the Office. Complaint is made
that appropriations TO the bureau for
the payment OF the field and local forces
have not been enlarged in proportion to
the growth OF the work. 1t is a ques-
ton. the commissioner believes, whether
economy has not been carried 80 unwise
lengths.

Gross Partially Alleged.

These statements aroused Or. Urban
Ella to a vigorous answer.
Ny only Intervention in the Mexican
matter" he writes, was tti5:
When the matter had been considered
by the VenezIe elan arbiter. and after long
and learned discussion with the Mexican
arbiter on each and every point OF the
claim. our arbiter became convinced
that the Mexican arbiter was not dis
posed 10 compromise the matter in
equitable and just terms. and that his
pretensiOns were exceedingly exaggerat-
ed; he further distrusted the impartial
ity Of the umpire and feared that on the
question going before him Venezuela
would be WOrsteG.
Under this conviction the Venezuelan
arbiter presented me with conhden-
tia1 report In which he clearly set forth
the danger which Venezuela ran in sub
hitting the matter 10 the umpire, not
through want Of right. but because the
partiality Of the Judge who was to de-
eide thereon was az general notoriety.

1t was very fortunate for the occu-
pants OF d. j. Connelley's boarding
house. at the corner of Orms and Smith
streets, that p. j. Burns round OF
duty brought him to the front of that
building at an hour today when he was
able to render them most valuable SER
vice.
All winter the patrolmen bave been on
the keen alert for incipient fires-those
little blazes which seem SO insignificant
and which suddenly assume alarming
proportions.
This watchfulness has been due TO the
fact that in lieu of anthracite soft coal
and wood have been used, fouling Chin
neys and causing them TO eaten fire and
threaten the destruction of property.
When Patrolman Burns was nearing
the corner OF Orms and Smith streets he
discovered that smoke was issuing from
a barber shop on the ground floor OF the
2ib-story wooden building there situated.
belonging to the Walter Gardiner estate.
The barber shop is owned by ID. j. Con-
nelley. who uses the upper floors as a
boarding house.
The other store Is devoted TO the dry
goods business and is owned by w. G..
Smith.
The officer quickly discovered that the
