Apology From Venezuela.

An interesting account of the action
of Minister Bowen at Caracas in de-
handing an apology from the Venezue-
Ian government for the improper use
made of the American flag by the COM
mander of the Venezuelan gunboat
Restaurador, is given in the current
volume of Foreign Relations" Mr..
Bowen, without waiting for instrue-
tons from the United States, called on
the minister of foreign affairs and said
to him:
your captain dishonored the Amer
lean flag, and he should be ordered to
raise it and salute it, and your govern
ment should apologize"
The minister desired several days in
which to investigate the matter. The
facts that | have presented to you are
indisputable," says Mr. Bowen, and
can give you only 20 hours, for feel
that at the end of that time must ca
Bile the facts to my government"
On the following day regrets were
expressed on behalf of Venezuela, and
the flag was raised and saluted with
81 guns.

Volcano

Volcano.
News brought here from Guatemala
by people who have seen the ruin
wrought by the recent eruption OF
santa Maria volcano, confirms all the
previous reports. The situation could
hardly be worse.
"Al the coffee plantations in the vi

1uertado, just arrived here from
Guatemala, have been destroyed.
Ashes 10 feet deep cover the country.
In the neighborhood of the volcano
ashes are so deep that only one of the
tops of tall trees can be seen. Scoria
and ashes cover 1000 square miles of
land to a depth of five to Is feet and
5000 square miles to depths of one to
five feet. One third of the entire coffee
crop has been destroyed. About 800.
600 quintals of the very choicest cot
fee have been lost and all land upon
which it was grown is doomed to
eternal sterility."

Association In Favor Of House
Bill 1890.

In recent communication to Con-
gresham Brownlow, Mr., R. w. Rich
ardson, secretary of the National Good
Roads association. supports the
Brownlow bill in the following lam
guage:
Il have carefully read, copy Of
your bill, being H. R. 1869, creating a
bureau of public roads in the depart
ment Of agriculture, and providing for
Q system of national, state and local
cooperation in highway improvement.
I desire to commend sou for your in
itiative in this most important and
necessary public Improvement. It
seems passing strange that the peo-
pie of the United States who are so
progressive in every other avenue Of
commercial and industrial develop
ment should SO continuously neglect
to give even reasonable considera ton
to the public roads. It is safe to es-
innate that more than 80 per cent. of
the area of the states of the union is
without improved roads, enduring al
most impossible mud in winter and in
sufferable dust in summer, old and an
tiquated wasteful methods still in
vogue in attempted road making and
repairs, hundreds of thousands of dol
lars wasted each year in these meth
DDS to be repeated again next year, and
all this without any change from the
road conditions our fathers left us
except, in the majority of cases, for
the worst.
National, state and local coopera-
tion is the modern and sure method of
equalizing the burden of cost, Civ
ing proper supervision, and restriction,
and securing an adequate system of
improved highways The postal, ed-
ucational, military and economic in
terests OF the general government
justify its active interest in this be-
half.
"You are to be heartily commended
for your effort. If you succeed you
will have reared to your name an ever
lasting monument in the ever-growinR
appreciation Of the people. Our assoc
citation stands ready to give you every
aid possible"
