VENEZUELA
. IS INDIGNANT
The Press of That Country Urges Re-
sistance to Arbitration Tri-,
49, bunal's Awards. ..s

Willemstad, Curacao, Sept. .12.-Deci-
sions in the cases of the big claims
against Venezuela presented to the mixed
tribunals began to be rendered yesterday.
The Dutch and English arbitrator and
the Venezuelan umpire delivered judgment
condemning Venezuela to pay the Belgian
company owning the Caracas water works
$4,000, 000 =. j. s.#
Notwiths landing that the meeting Of the
tribunal was to be secret, the Venezuelan
government Immediately divulged the de-
cision everywhere, and alko started the
semiofficial press complaining against
DR.. Fill, the Dutch arbitrator, who Is a
former president of the high court of the
Dutch West Indies, and the other arbitra-
tors, who are characterized as robbers
worthy of hanging.
The violence Of the press is without
precedent, the editors going SO far as to
say the government will not accept the
Judgment.
The Pregonero, in strongly worded ar
ticle, says:
1--WE are Venezuelans. We will not &C
cept these impositions. The decisions of
the arbitrators are joke. Do these old
gentlemen suppose that Venezuela is a
country Of savages in which they can
slash right and left? It is necessary that
they should know that they have people
before them and General Castro, head Of
the executive power. who will not accept
such treatment. Know this, umpires and
commissioners, and the sooner you know
it the better it will be for you. You be-
lieve we are lambs, not having seen our
claws. We are tigers and lions. There
fore, beware"
Ell Combate says:
"How long will these humilations last?
Down with the foreign extortioners and
let us hold up high and firm our national
dignity and integrity. Long live Ven
ezuela!'

NJ Chauchard has risen from the ranks.
Originally a humble and obscure employee,
he became director Of the Louvre es-
tablishm ent and in this capacity amassed
large fortune, which has enabled him
to acquire one of the most remarkable
collections of pictures to be found. His
immense wealth has also enabled him to
act the philanthropist on a vast scale.
He is noted for his charity and one of his
most recent acts of benevolence was to
start al Versailles the Chauchard Founda-
ton, which has been officially opened by
M. Trouillot, minister of commerce.
It's nucleus is the old historic building
known as the Pavilion de Madame, form
erly dwelling of the kings and queens Of
France, and latterly occupied for few
months in the year by M Chauchard him
self.
Near the building and it's gardens are
two new avenues one called after M.
Chauchard and the other after the Louvre.
These thorofares are lined with small
houses, to be added to hereafter. PEN
sioners from the Louvre shops will dwell
with their families in the houses which
have been, or are to be, built.
Free Grounds and Houses.
According to M Chauchard's arrange
ments, the smaller houses and gardens
will be occupied by old Louvre hands,

a year. These can live in the places with
their wives and families. After the death
of an accredited occupant, the house may
be retained by the widow, and when she
dies it will be given to another superan-
nuated employe fulfilling the required con-
ditions.
AS to retired employees of the Louvre
who have been in the receipt of salaries
ranging from $1,000 to 5000 or more, M
Chauchard gives them only ground. He
expects them to be able to build their
own houses out of their savings.
The ordinary houses now CONSTRUCTED
have small dining and drawing rooms and
kitchens on the ground floor. Above are
three fine bedrooms and then the usua

London, Sept. 12.-The British foreign

sian minister at the Chinese capital had
added two fresh conditions to- those i'm
posed on China as conditional to the evac-

view taken of the far eastern situation,
which the Japanese based upon the first

that Japan has advised all her represent

SNAKES IN IRELAND
London Times Prints Story Saying
Fourteen Rattlers Have Been
Released Near Cork.

London, Sept 12.-The Associated Press
is informed that no one by the name Of
Warwick is staying, or has been staying,
at the Midland hotel, Manchester. Judg-
ing from this it would appear that the
London Times has been hoaxed in pub
fishing a letter to-day which announced
the liberation of fourteen rattlesnakes at
Barney castle, near Cork.
The Times printed letter dated from
the Midland hotel, Manchester, in which
the writer announced that he arrived from
America on the White Star line steamer
Celtic and went to Cork. He added that
he then visited Barney castle, where he
liberated fourteen fairly good sized rat
tlesnakes. The letter concludes:

Referring to one Of the more noted of
the Breathitt county pardons, Colonel
Belknap said: #
Perhaps Raleigh was innocent of hav-

ticket. Raleigh was the man convicted
of killing a little girl, in fBreathitt county,
and who was pardoned by Mr.. Beckham.
Your governor, by pardoning this mis-
creant has shown that he thinks the
brute who would improperly accost our
daughters and then shoot them like dogs
was fit after few years punishment to
enjoy the full privileges Of liberty"
Colonel Belknap, continuing, said that
at least 1,155 convicts had been set free
in eleven years, while those paroled and
not counted would carry the number to
1900.
Turning to the trials Of the alleged as
sassins Of Goebel, Colonel Belknap said:

Quoted with partisan juries and perjured
testimony leave justice unsatis1ed."
