DELAY IN THE MAILS.
Temporary Arrangements Occasioned
by the High Waters,

The Post Office Department is closely
watching the flood situation along the Mis-
sissippi river. 1t is being kept constantly
advised of the situation and the recent ad-
vices indicate some improvement. The sit
uation from a postal point of view how
ever, is still very serious. All along the
mississippi from Vicksburg up toward ST.
Louis the flood is still interfering with bus-
ness, and between Vicksburg and ST. Louis
20 mails whatever are being carried across
the Father of Waters" There is a large
volume of mail that under normal condi-
tiCnS daily crosses the Mississippi at Mem
phis and at Cairo, but submerged railroad
tracks in the vicinity of both of those
points make Ii impossible to carry any
malls whatever across the river there, and
all these mails are being diverted via other
transfer points.
On the other side of the Mississippi from
Memphis, according to official advices
reaching the railway mail service here. the
tracks of the Frisco. the Iron Mountain and
the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf railroads
ale submerged for some distance, and most
of the large quantity of mails carried on
those lines from Tennessee, Kentucky and
eastern and southeastern points for Ar
kansas Oklahoma. Indian territory Texas
and intermediate points is being carried ON
a detour via st. Louis. Some of the mail
for the more southerly points in that terri
tory, however, is being sent around by way
or Atlanta and New Orleans The mail
usually hauled across the river at Cairo is
being similarly diverted by way of ST.
Louis.
All these detours mean delays avera gine
day to most of the destinations. II IS
assumed that there are numerous small
offices I'm the flood region that are not get
ting any mail at ALL such as some of the
small places In the neck the Missssinni

CASTRO FORCED OUT
FRENCH VIEW OF VENEZUELAN
PRESIDENTS RESIGNATION.
Complicated Political Situation Made
the Act Necessary-Views
In Berlin.

PARIS, March 23.-An official dispatch
has been received here from Caracas giving
the causes which led up to President Cas-
tro's resignation. 1t shows that this action
was not a mere formality, as some Of the
dispatches Indicated but was the outgrowth
of serious conditions caused by the recent
international entanglements. The dispatch
says the main cause of the presidents resig-
nation was the troubles with Germany,
which, besides being difficult of solution,
have caused widespread alarm. The situa-
ton, 1t is added. has been further compli-
Gated by the activity of the Revolutionary
bands.
The dispatch clearly conveys the impress
sion that the resignation of General Castro
is indicative of the present condition of un-
rest and instability in Venezuela, probably
foreshado wing a general change Of govern
ment.
BERLIN, March 23.-It Is believed here
that the resignation of President Castro
of Venezuela Saturday was designed to Sc
cure an Endorsement of his policy in the
form of request from the Venezuelan
congress that he retain office. In any case,
the German foreign office expects General
Castro's successor will carry out the terms
of the protocol and 1t is not thought that
any fresh complications are likely to grow
out of the present turn Of politics at Cara

WANTS MAJOR SCOTT. REMOVED.
Senator Clapp Wants Scalp Of an In
dian Agent.

There is trouble on over a reported dec
laration of Indian Agent Scott Of Leech
Lake reservation, which embraces the Red
Lake Indian reservation, that he would de-
feat the treaty with the Red Lake Indians
for the sale of their lands. Senator Clapp
has teIegraphed to Senator Knute Nelson
regarding the matter, and the latter has
called the attention of Indian Commission
er Jones to the subject, and asked for
Major Scott's removal. Mr. Jones had a
conference Saturday with President Roose-
welt on the subject.
The original treaty with the Red Lake
Indians, negotiated for the government by
Major Mclaughlin. one of the veteran In
dian inspectors, called for the sale of the
25O.OOO acres of their land to the govern
ment at the fiat price Of $3.50 an acre.
Chairman Cannon Of the House committee
on appropriations objected to the terms
OF the treaty, but was favorable to the gov
ernment acting as trustee for the Indians
in selling their lands, the Indians to get
the money therefore only as the settlers
bought the lands. Later the treaty was
amended SO that twenty-five sections, or
about 14,00o acres, passed to Minnesota
for state purposes, which the agent OBJ
jected to. The bill as finally passed au-
thorized the Secretary of the Interior to-
SELL subject to the homestead laws, to the
highest bidder at public auction, in tracts
not to exceed 100 acres to each individual,
all the land involved at not less than 81
per acre.

FRENCH MAY INVADE CHINA.
Trouble With Brigands Along Border
of Indo-China

PARIS, March 23.-It is said at the for
eign office here that recent official reports
show there is growing state of disorder
in southern China. particularly along the
border of French Indo-China, chiefly due
to the operations of bands Of Chinese brig
ands. French interests have received rea-
sonable protection until lately, through the
vigilance of Mandarin Su, but since he has
been superseded there has been much law
lessness and many depredations Although
the French authorities have not yet taken
definite action, the officials here confirm the
reports from Shanghai to the effect that
continuance of the disorder will undoubt-
edly lead to the sending Of French troops
across the border to suppress the brigand
bands and insure protection of French in
tereStS.
The foreign Office has no advices regard
ing the published report that the French
commander at Tein Tsin has demanded
$1,500,OcO compensation and new barracks
before he will evacuate the arsenal there.
1t is said that such request would neces-
sarily be made through the French minister
at Pekin, who has not asked for authority
to make representations on the subject to
the Chinese government.

DIR. HUNTERS CHARGES.
Accuses Consul McNally of Conspiracy
to Murder

DIR. W. Godfrey Hunter of Kentucky,
formerly United States minister to Guate-
mala, has come to Washington to prefer
charges against Mr.. James c. Mentally Of
Pennsylvania, formerly United States con-
sui at Guatemala city and now consul at
Liege, Belgium. He has already had
talk on the subject with Assistant Secre-
tary Pierce at the State Department, and
has been referred to Secretary Hay or the
President as the only persons authorized
to afford him the relief he desires.
The main charge preferred by DR.. Hun
ter against Mr. McNally is that he con-
spired with Mr. W.. A. Fitzgerald of Grand
Rapids, Mich, to assassinate his son, MI
F. G. Hunter, jr., who was with his father
in Guatemala If there was such con-
spiracy it was a total failure, for instead
Of being killed Young Hunter killed F1tz-
gerald.
Notwithstanding that Consul McNally
telegraphed the State Department that the
death of Fitzgerald was "a ccd-blooded
murder on the part of Hunter, the latter
was acquitted at his trial in Guatemala.
The State Department accepted the action
of the courts of that country and took no
action in the matter, beyond making an
investigation Of the alleged completely OF
Consul McNally in the affair. This inyesti-
CATION resulted in the exoneration OF Mr..
McNaliy, and he was continued In the con-
sular service, but at Liese instead OF at
Guatemala city. DR.. Hunter was allowed
to resign He now desires to have the case
reopened with a view to the punishment
of Mr. McNally, to the extent at least OF
his removal from office. The department
is not inclined to do anything In the matter
unless new and material eVldence Is pro-
duced against Mr.. McNally, who has al
ready satisfied the officials that he had no
connection whatever with the alleged con-
spiracy against the Hunters.

mo ANSWER REQUIRED"
SECRETARY ROOTS INDORSE-
ME;NT ON RATHBoNE's CHARGES.
Saws Gen. Wood Had the Secretary's
Approval at Every Step Taken
Allegations Dismissed.

The President and Secretary Root had
conference today In regard to the charges
preferred by Mr.. Rathbone against Gen.
Wood in connection with the trial of the
post office cases in Havana. The conclusion
reached is shown in a statement made pup
lie by Secretary Root this afternoon.
Secretary Root made an Endorsement on
the papers saying that no answer to the
charges was required from Gen. Wood and
no action will be taken thereon; that 1t was
known to the Secretary Of War that the
charges in every respect were without just
foundation. The Secretary refers to the
part taken by the military governor in the
post office cases in which Rathbone was a
defendant, saying that Gen. Wood at every
step had the approval of the Secretary OF
War and exercised only such control as was
necessary as military governor
He refers to the game of ''Jdi alaf' and
declares that the gift accepted by Gen.
Wood had no relation whatever to any Of
fetal action of his, but was part Of the ex-
preston of gratitude of the Cuban people
toward the representative of the Unitel
States; to have refused the gift would have
been discourteous and unjustifiable The
action of the customs officials, in reference
to the gift, the Secretary says, was strictly
In accordance with the law and official pro-
priety. The Endorsement closes as follows:
There is no foundation for the charges

ON GROUND OF HUMANITY.
Measures Taken to Relieve Destitute
in Northern Alaska.

Urgent appeals have been made to the
War Department for the relief of the ma
tive inhabitants of northern Alaska, Eski-
mos and Indians, who are represented to
be In an extremely destitute condition as
consequence of the strict enforcement of
the laws prohibiting the taking or killing
of fur-bearing animals in that territory
The hunt is the principal means Of sup
port as well as sustenance, of these peo-
pie, and the effect of the prohibition is to
practically deprive them of their main
source of food.
There is some doubt as to the authority
of the War Department to issue food sup
plies in a case like this in the absence of
legislative enactment, but acting on the
advice Of Judge Advocate General Davis
instructions have been sent to the depart
ment commander to investigate the situa-
ton and to distribute rations in his dis
cretion in cases of emergency. This action
was taken on the ground of humanity, and
in the confident belief that Congress will
sanction whatever outlay Is found to be
necessary to the preservation of life
