pated in More Than One
Revolution.

MADRID, Jan. 5.-Former Premier
Sagasta died at II o'clock tonight. At
$50 he had an attack of heart failure
and it was then thought he was dead.
He rallied, however and lived for four
and half hours. His funeral probably
will take place next Wednesday.
Death was due to bronchitis and gas
tric troubles. Senor Sagasta's family
was at the beathbed and former Liber-
al members of the cabinet were near
their old leader. A bishop adminis-
tered the last sacrament this after
noon.
The news of the former premier's
death created a painful impression
throughout Madrid. King Alfonso ex-
pressed profound regret.
Senor Sagasta's intellect was unim-
paired until his last hours. He talked
to his daughters, the presidents of the
senate and of congress and to the
archbishop of Toledo. King Alfonso
has written letter of sympathy to
Senor Sagasta's family.

Blockade Enforced Notwithstandins.

BERLIN, Jan. 5.-Great Britain and
Germany came to an understanding
four days ago to enforce the blockade
of the Venezuelan coast precisely as
though the negotiations for arbitra-
ton were not going on. 1t was doubtless
in consequence of this understanding
that the vessels at Porto Cabello We're
taken, though both the foreign offices
and the navy department are yet with
out advices showing that vessels We're
taken or that martens were tempor-
arily landed.
The official view here is that the
blockading commanders acted quite in
accordance with their instructions.
The allied governments determination
appears to be that pending the sigma
ture of the arbitration protocol, the
blockade within the limits agreed upon
shall be sharply applied. Hence, un-
less the preliminaries for arbitration
are arranged imediately, action similar
to that adopted at Porto Cabello will
naturally be taken at other ports. By
making the blockade felt, it is claim
ed, President Castro's decision will
probably be fastened.
