ARMS FOR GERMAN ARMY
ARTILLERY IS ALREADY ORDERED
 FROM CRUMPS
Because of Lack of Money the Governmsn! Will Not Ask for Any Present Increase in the Naval Estimates-Will Adhere to Plan

BERLIN.-The German govern
 ment finds 1t will be necessary in the
 next two or three years to re
 arm the army. It Is supposed, with
 some certainty, that the government has already ordered the artillery from
 Krupps, without waiting for an appro.
 priation. and that the firm is now man.
 ufacturing the guns. The rife now in use in the German army is measurably obsolete, or at least it is not so eff. fective as the latest model. Hence,
 it is planned to manufacture the three million rifles necessary for the regulars and reserves. The old rifles will be sold for what they will bring, although new weapons will cost from 1S,750,000 to 22,500,000.
 The naval estimates for 1904 are in the hands of the finance committee, and have not yet been made public, but it has been learned that they con- tain nothing except statements of the sums required for the maintenance and the construction of vessels already under way, and they have been placed at an irreducible minimum, for keep ing the fleet on its present effective basis. Such new ships as will be asked for under the naval program will be included in supplementary budget, which, it is understood, will provide for two battleships, one ar mored cruiser and five torpedo boats.
 None of these additional vessels has already been laid down, as is some times done in anticipation of an ap- propriation, and no effort is being made to complete the program of 1906 or 1908, as was generally supposed two years ago Germany intended do- ing Such realization is now deemed The program will take the sixteen years course originally outlined in 1900. The reason is an ob- vious one-lack of money. The gov ernments view is that the country is reconciled to carrying out the program under which, by 1904, it will have fifty five battleships, eight of them up-to- date, with 3090 officers and 55,S09 men. But the country would not ap- prove of largely increased burdens to carry it through in shortened period.

HIS AGGRESSIVE POLICY
CASTRO IGNORANT OF RESPECT
 DUE TRIBUNALS
Spanish Minister Grossly lusulted Because He Rendered Deeisioi Favoring the Payment by Venezuela of Mexican Claim

WILLMESTAD, Island of Curacoa-
 Passengers arriving here from Cara cas, Venezuela, confirm the reports of attacks made by the government newspapers on the umpires of the mixed tribunals, who have given de cisions adverse to Venezuela. The passengers add that the conduct of President Castro and the official press shows that Venezuela does not under. stand the respect due to the mixed tribunals umpires, and say it was a mistake to select Caracas as the seat of the tribunal.
 After Minister Bowen's Mexican protocol was signed, the King of Spain, as requested, appointed Seior Gaytan de Ayala, the Spanish Minister to Venezuela, as Mexican umpire, and Venezuela was pleased, but the news papers of Caracas have recently in suited him, owing to his having rem dered verdict in favor of Mexico. Sefionr Ayala, who is rich and inde- pendent, could not be suspected of partiality, but in spite of this the Caracas press, when he rendered his verdict, caricatured him, representing the minister with bags of silver in his hands, and saying that "The bal ance of justice went to the side Of Mexico in consequence of the weight of money which Mexico gave him."
 Another paper represented the Spanish Minister as an ass, sitting in an umpire's chair. Fl Nacionalista, the organ of General Hernandez, the Venezuelan Minister at Washington, which has been most bitter in its at- tacks on foreigners, on one occasion said:
 "The award is the outcome of ran cor, due to the conduct of Venezuela toward the Spanish Consul at La Guayra, or of bad faith or ignorance"
 Incidentally, it is stated on good authority that General Iribarin, the Venezuelan commissioner, recognized the validity of the Mexican claim, which was also approved by the min ister of foreign affairs. President Castro alone opposed it.
 Another newspaper of Caracas said: Tt is strange that Mexico, of the same race, language, continent, re- ligion and history, should dare tol ask money from her sister republic, Venezuela"
 Finally the Spanish Minister be- came so incensed that he decided to leave Caracas on October g. He turned over the Spanish legation to the secretary, Sehor Gilgado, and made his preparations to embark for Spain, October IS.
 One of the papers from Caracas said that as a result of President Castros l policy trade in Venezuela was stag nant, the people having no confidence in his administration. Prices on the stock exchange are daily falling, and complications are feared after the closing of the mixed tribunals.
