LA GUAYRA, Venezuela, Feb. 15.-The
blockade has been officially raised
The commander OF the British cruiser
Tribune, the only British warship here,
sent an officer ashore this morning with
the announcement that Tribune would leave
this afternoon for Trinidad. The populace
is wild with Joy.
CARACAS, Feb 15.-At this afternoon
Tribune left for Trinidad. The news from
all the Venezuelan ports, except Coro and
Higuerote, is that the foreign warshps

The government, Immediately on receiv-
ing the news that the blockade had been
raised. took military measures and sent
troops in all directions to crush the revolu-

WASHINGTON, Feb 15.-Mr. Bowen ex-
poets to begin Immediately the preparation
Of the protocols with representatives of
the allied powers for the settlement CT
their claims. There are eight Of these
claimant nations. including the United
States.
The protocol with this government will
be the first undertaken. Solicitor Penheld
Of the State. department will represent the
United States. Work, IT is expected, will
that matters will move forward with
greater rapidity than they did with the
representatives of the allied governments.
Tine negotiations with France win follow,
and so on until the protocols With all the
unailied credit nations are completed.
The suggestion has been made that as
the unallied nations naturally are opposed
to any preferential treatment to Germany,
Great Britain and Italy, in all probability
Venezuela. the United States and France
will be lined up as representing the eight
unallied nations at The Hague, as opposed
to the allies.
Mr.. Bowen continues to receive numerous
congratulatory kilograms from Venezuela
on the satisfactory outcome Of his work
here. One Of those which he prizes most
highly is from the citizens OF La Guayra,
through the prefect, which reads as fol-
lows:
The citizens of La Guayra, through me,
felicitate you as the great and good friend
of Venezuela.
Various efforts have been made Jy rep
resentatives of big financial houses in this
country to sound Mr. Bowen as to his
views on the question of financing the
| debts of Venezuela. Mr.. Bowen. however,
has informed all that his mission is en-,
tirely diplomatic one, and that he could
not consider the financial features of the
matter.
WILLEMSTAD Curacao. Feb. 14.-There

MAY DELAY THE TAX CASE
Railroad Attorneys Say that Baldwin
is Too busy for n Hearing
Today.

Attorneys for the railroads in the case
Of the Burlington and Union Pacific
against the city to restrain the levy OF
taxes for 1903 on the basis decided upon
by the city authorities say that the case,
which is set for hearing before JuiIe
Munger this morning, will not be heard
until later. and assign as the reason the
fact that John N. Baldwin OF the Union
Pacific sis so busy that he has not had
time to make a study Of the case and can
not be present at the hearing today"
1t is intimated that for the purpose o.
hearing the evidence an agreemen. may
be made that all OF the evidence common
to both cases may be heard in one case
only and applAd TO both, thus saving the
time of the court and materially assist
ing in reaching an early conclusion of the
case. II is not expected that the hearing
before Judge Munger will settle the mat
ter, as either side may appeal and the
case is OF such general interest that it
may reach the United States supreme
court before II is finally determined.

Member of Board of Education Tells
Philosophical society he FavOrs
Changing school Methods,

Hugh F. Mcintosh, editor, populist
leader and member of the Board OF Edu-
cation, read a paper on Education" to
the Philosophical society yesterday after
noon. About fifty members were present.
In part Mr.. Mcintosh said:
There are not half a dozen teachers
in this county who can conduct a school
in any other way than by the amusement
system now IN vogue. They have not
themselves been taught and we cannot
exact the impossible from them. But We
can begin to be sane in our educational
systems Mr. conception OF a beginning in
Omaha is to do what Wisconsin is now
doing, viz; to go into the country, buy a
farm and establish a county high school
for instruction in agriculture, manual
training and domestic science. This schol
could be made a teachers training
school Of the right sort, which will begin
to send us teachers who can conduct a
primary school on disciplinary lines as
soon as the city school system will toll
crate them.
81 would construct each new city school
house on the workshop plan-make II a
school OF children's occupations. All it's
rooms should be work rooms rather than
study rooms. And, OF course. when these
can teach must be found, instead of turn
ing the schools over to the old enemy
of childhood-the teacher who only knows
enough to amuse children.
But a transition of this sort is slow.
We cannot afford to waste so many lives
while waiting a quarter Of a century to
reform the educational life OF a city.
would bridge over the transition period
by pushing every fad in our school sys-
tenn to Its limit. In the absence Of dis
ciplinary system Of education would make
It a fad system. ! would make the kin
dergsrten age four to six years; l would
devote plenty Of time to clay modelling;
would Introduce wood carving, pyro-
graphy and basketry. / would make very
much Of music in the schools: would
develop free-hand drawing SD that any
pupil in the schools could reproduce with
a pencil any picture in his mind. l would
introduce needlework and l would teach

! Then IL there were any more fads found

\ and the eye and the ear and the lungs and
the tongue, I would chuck it into the edu-
cational system in order TO crowd out the
eye-destroying, nerve-racking waste o
