RECALL OF HOLLEBEN.
German Government Said Not to be
Satisfied with His Acts.

Berlin, Jan. 12.-Ambassador Won
Holleben's leave of absence from Wash
ington is pretty generally received here
as being his virtual recall, due, it is
said, to dissatisfaction of the govern
ment with the management of the Ven
ezuelan affair.
This is asserted without reserve in
important newspapers and no official
denials have been forthcoming.
1t seems that the government feels
it was misled. or at least not fully in
formed, by the Washington embassy re-
specting President Roosevelt's attitude
when he was requested to arbitrate the
Venezuelan dispute.
The opinion is also that DR.. Won Hol-
leben's dispatches regarding the policy
of the United States in the Venezuelan
business and its general foreign policy
have been neither adequate nor precise.
A variety of other reasons may have
contributed to the lack of confidence in
the ambassador. DR.. Won Holleben' 8
critics aver that he showed an unskilled
hand in the great champagne war and
in the Witt incident, and also in per.
hitting himself to become the object of
press attacks, even though unjustly.
The matter of the statue of Frederick
the Great is also remembered, with it's
Indifferent reception on the part of the
American people. This, it is alleged,
DIR. Holleben ought to have foreseen
and he should have dissuaded the en-
peror from offering the statue to the
United States.

SERIOUS CHARGES MADE.
Inquiry Into Alleged Abuses Of
Alaska Land Laws Is
Wanted.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Complaints
have been made to the interior depart
ment against the administration of the
lands laws in Alaska, and thorough
investigation of the Office of Surveyor
General Distin has been called fol by
citizens of the territory. 1t is claimed
that the people of the territory are not
only handicapped by poor land laws,
but that the natural difficulty of getting
title to lands is further embarrassed by
the condition of affairs in the surveyor
generals office. Sworn statements have
been filed with the secretary of the in
terror, making specific charges against
the surveyor general, and it is declared
in the statements that all allegations
can be proved by several witnesses.

KNEW TOO MUCH
REASON OF GERMAN AMBASSA-
DORIS RETIREMENT.
Alleged to Have Sent His Home
Government More Information
as to American Army and Navy
Than Was Necessary---Other Al
legged Reasons.

Paris, Jan. ia personal letter
from Berlin to a high French official
states that the real cause of the retire.
ment of Won Holleben as German am
bassador at Washington was the dis
pleasure of the Americans with the per-
sistent German spying upon AmeriuBo
military and naval affairs for which he
was held responsible.
Next to Russia and France the United
States is said to have been the object Of
German espionage to a greater extent
than any other country, and improve
ments in arms and defensive equipment
which ingenious Americans are contin-
ually making, have been followed up
by Won Holleben's military and naval
spies as closely as if Germany expected
immediate war with the United States.
This is Just what the kaiser wanted
done, but he did not want Americans to
know that it was being done, and Won
Holleben's crime was in being found
out in doing his masters will.
No request has been made for Won
Holleben's recall so far as is known to
the subordinates of the Berlin foreign
office. but officials in Berlin are known
to be cognizant of the persistent es-
pionage into American naval and mill
tary and naval affairs and that these do
not harmonic with Germany's protes-
tations of friendship for the United
States.
This was the cause for Won Holleben' s
recall.
AS Germany now has complete maps
and reports concerning the American
army and navy, American coast defepses
and American arsenals, armor plate
factories, ETC., it will not be necessary
for Baron Won Sternberg to carry on the
same system of espionage as his pred
ecessor.
Washington, Jan. 12.-Germany' g
action in placing in charge of the Wash
ington embassy Baron Won Sternberg,
personal friend of President Roose-
welt, is officially taken for what it is
worth and no more. While it is recog-
nized that the baron will be the most
acceptable accession to the diplomatic
corps, and although those high in Off
clal life congratulate him on his adj
vancement, the opinion that the retir-
ing ambassador is being made the
scapegoat for the s~rious errors of the
home government still obtains. 1t is
taken as matter of course that in Sc
cretly negotiating for the Panama Ca
nal concessions from the Colombian
government, Won Holleben was merely
acting under instructions from Berlin.
1t will require reputation of his acts
from Germany to clear up this matter.
The tension over the affair between the
United States and Germany has been
far greater than will be acknowledged
by this government.

New York. Jan. 10.-France proba-

says the Worlds Port-of-Spain CORE
spondent, for the reason that Venezuela
has failed to make the first payment of

Dec. 81.
Venezuela also owes the French cable
company $4,000, and the company
refuses to extend credit to the govern.
ment.
President Castro is deeply incensed.
His attempts to borrow money from the
bank of Venezuela have failed. The
government already owes that institu-
ton $2,600,000. President Castro S
next step will be to force loan from
the merchants.
The better element in Venezuela is
urging him to give up his Office. His
resignation has been publicly demanded
in speed delivered in the plaza. 1t
is impossible for him to hold power be-
yond February.
Troops are sleeping in the plaza of
the capital in expectation of an attack.
The foreign bankers are waiting for
change in the government before ne
gotiating any loan.
General Matos, in public statement
guarantees satisfactory settlement
with the allies within "a hours after he
is inaugurated president of Venezuela.
He asserts that Caslro delays settlement
in the hope of uniting the people.
There is hunger now and there will
be starvation later.
Seven hundred idlers at La Guayra
have gone to join the revolutlonists.
The situation is deplorabIe. President
Castro conceals and the censor stops
all unfavorable news. There is a ru-
NOR that the allies will, very soon cut
the cable and then land and seize the
custom houses.

AUTOMOBILE SoRE-EYES.
inflammation Caused by Ra pid Passage
Through Dusty Road
ways.

It has been noticed that those who
ride much in, automobiles are subject
to inflammation of the outer coat of
the eye, known as the conjunctiva. This
form of inflammation is called conjunc-
tivitis, says Medical Talk for the Home.
1t produces redness and soreness of
the inner side of the lids, both upper and
under, and on the white part Of the eye
ball. A watery discharge occurs, the
veins are enlarged, and other disagree
able symptoms of sore eyes are present.
1t is caused by the rapid passage
which hurls the particles of dust in the
air with great force against the eyes, as
well as cooling and drying the eye un-
naturally by the rapid motion.
Wearing goggles in a measure will
operate as a preventive. But in spite
of this precaution many cases of auto
mobile sore eyes do occur.
Those who have been in the habit of
indulging themselves in envy because
they could not afford to ride in automo-
biles can at least have the consolation
that they are not liable to be afflicted
with automobile conjunctivitis.
