BASEE ALL.

The baseball situation in the Pa
cific Northwest league has never
looked better since the war started
President w II. Lucas and the other
magnates of the Pacific Northwest
league have so Unanswered of late
that the finish of the California in
vaders is now predicted on all sides
rs being not far distant. Whether
the proposed invasion of the Pacific
Northwest league under the guild
nnce of the National association ma
terialiZes or not, the Marshall Harris
bunch is doomed to ignominious de-
feat financially. Fans of this neck
o the woods wonder what has in
duced the p. c. league to adopt the
Anticipated rules of the early 90s. A
baseball enthusiast will not take more
than a passing interest in a brand of
ball governed by such out of date
rules as proposed, no matter if good
ball is put up. If there is any class
of sports who believe in keeping
abreast of the times and up 20 date
in all things scientific, 1t is the
baseball fan.

REQUEST FROM GERMANY.
Call Made on MI. Bowen for Pay.

of Stipulated Time.
THE REQUEST IS PROMPTLY REFUSED.

She Has some sinister Purpose In
View,

Washington, Feb. 23.-The German
government, through its represents
tive here, Ban on Speck Won Sternberg,
has made a request of Mr.. Bowen for
the immediate payment of the $685.
900 which it was stated in the pro-
tocol, signed on February ID, should
be paid within 30 days from that date,
as a preliminary to the raising OF the
blockade against the Venezuelan
ports and the agreement to send the
question of preferential treatment OF
the blockading nations to The Hague
for determination.
Mr.. Bowen promptly declined to ac-
cede to the request, but informed
Baron Sternberg that, as provided in
the protocol, the money would be
paid to the German representative AT
Caracas 80 days from February ID,
which would be on the 18th of March.
The reason that animated the Ter
man government in making the re-
quest is not disclosed here, nor is MIR.
Bowen aware of it. The matter, how
ever, has some significance, perhaps,
in view of the fact that the ships ta-
ken by the Germans during the block
ade have not yet been returned to
Venezuela.
During the day Mr.. Bowen had calls
from the French ambassador, M. JUS
serand; the Spanish minister, Senior
Ojeda, and the Belgian minister,
Baron Moncheur, in regard to the
protocols that are in preparation for
the settlement of the claims of the
citizens of their countries against
Venezuela. Rough drafts of these in
struments are already IN their way
by mail to the European governments
interested, but there are certain pro-
visions regarding them about which
the ENJOYS desired to consult Mr..
Bowen. The protocols are expected
to reach their destinations the later
part of this week, pending which no
final steps for joint signature can be
taken.

Multnomah delegation supported him
solidly, and in addition he drew eight
votes from Geer.
The last ballot began at ten min.

16 minutes. She brought TAP passen-
gers, of which 430 were steerage. The
external dimensions of the Cedric are
identical with those of her sister ship

IRE REBELS NEAR CARACAS.
The Venezuelan Revolutionary Array IN
Force Twenty Miles south
of Caracas

Caracas, Feb. 21.-A revolutionary
army, estimated at $500 men, has
reached q point about twenty miles
south of Caracas. The revolutionists
and the government troops both &C.
cupy strong positions.
The revolution organized by Gen.
Matos during the ourse of the block.
ade of the Venezuelan coast by the
allied w~arships was reorganized and
three armies formed. One, under the
command of Antonio Fernandez, num-
boring 1880 men, was routed near
Calabozo, in the province of Miranda,
aeveral days ago, and it's chief is now
fleeing in the direction of the river
Apure.
The second army, led by Generals
Mantilla and ~Solagnie, 1,20o strong,
was defeated last Wednesday near
Urachiche.
The third army, commanded by
Generals Bolando, Penaloza and Vidal,
which was expecting to meet the first
two armies, arrived Thursday, by
way of Santa Lucia and G%uareans, at
q point about ten miles from Petare,
which is situated ten miles southeast
of Caracas, after having lost 500 men
from desertion en- route.
The strength of the third army is
estimated at 1890 men. 1t has taken
up a strong position, and the troops
sent against it by the government are
also strongly placed.
The revolutionary army is not be-
lieve l to be strong enough to attack,
and if a few days are allowed to
claspe without the rebels taking the
offensive against President Castro,
who since the conclusion of the block
ade has been receiving reinforce
ments, it is regarded as certain that
they will be defeated.

STAFF OF LEADING
RELIGIOUS WEEKLY
Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to
the Merits of Cuticura Remedies in the
Treatment of Humours of the
Blood, Skin and Scalp.

AZ wish to give my testimony to
the efficiency of the Cuticura Rene
dies in what seems to me two some
what remarkable cases. 1 had a
number of skin tumours- small
ones-on my arms which had never
given me serious trouble ; but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At first it was only about as
large as a pinhead, but, as it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than a bean.
A little unusual irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
a day or two it was as large as
half an orange. l was very much
alarmed, and was at q loss to de-
termine whether it was q carbuncle
or a malignant tumor.
