Negotiations Abruptly Halt
ed-Apology From Castro
or His Resignation Said to
Form Part of the Latest
Proposal
The Settlement of German
Claims Prior to Reference
to The Hague Also Includ-
ed-Proposition Rejected
by MIR. Bowen.

A prompt conclusion OF the negotfs-
tions in the Venezuelan affair. which
was anticipated as a result Of the de-
veIopments OF last week, has now been
prevented By the presentation OF new
proposal by Germany, mapping out an
entirely new scope OF negotiations and
opening up questions not heretofore dis
cUssed by the representatives OF the
powers and Mr. Bowen IN Washington.
The proposal. besides other features.
is that Germany shaH virtually receive
payment for all claims prior to the ref
-erence Of the question Of preferential
TO The Hague court. The English gov
ernment has declined 10 support Ger
many's contention. sd is now working
along with Mr.. Bowen.
Demand Submitted to Mr. Bowen.
When Baron speck Won sternbu.g call
ed upon Minister Bowen this morning
he presented this new proposition as one
Of the conditions 20 be embodied Ia the
protocol shortly to be signed The baron
stated that he had received instructions
from the foreign Office in Berlin to make
the new demand. which. however. he had
no hesitancy in saying. was not in ac-
cordance with his own personal views
The proposition Is declared one re-
pugnant to American principles. and
should it be pressed IT is deemed certain
to grouse storm of indignation
throughout the country. In making the
demand Germany is backed up BY Italy,
presumably il accordance with tbs
terms or rhe dreibund, although siguor
Mayor des PIanches seems even less
enthusiastic over it than does the Ger
man minister.
Apology FTom Castro.
It IS said that the new proposition
involves either an apology from Presi-
dent Castro or his esignation. II this
is true It would be, n spirit at least.
2 violation Of the Monroe Doctrine II
would mean interference in the internal
politics Of an American republic
Minister Bowen has already disap-
proved one demand, and should Germany
press the matter ~ viii lay 1t before
Secretary Hay, as one Of which the
United states should have knowledge.
Rejected by Mr.. Bowen.
Minister Bowen told Baron speck Won
Sternburg that he was prepared to waive
all pettv differences in the protocols with
the three allied powers. but It is under
stood that he stated emphatically that he
would not consent TO the new proposition

ANTITRUST LEGISLATION
TO BE MILD, NOT SEVERE
Consensus OF Opinion Among Presi-
dents Callers Today.

The general consensus of opinion
among the Presidents callers today is
that the Senate antitrust program will
be adhered to, the vigorous House
7Ians squelched, and sufficient mild
legislation enacted before the end OF
the present session 70 make unneces-
sary an extra session Of the Fifty
eighth Congress The trust leaders in
Congress hope that such a course will
still the agitation for more radicel aC-
ton than Is now contemplated, and pre-
vent the new Congress from running
wild in the exercise Of its new legis-
Iative functions

Working along the American coast,
the coal supply of 200 tons gives the

ton, while moderate draft enables her
to safeguard many OF the minor sea-
board cities and towns not protected by
permanent batteries.
The wyoming and her sister ships
were really inspired by the needs of
the growing naval militia, and were in
tended, in their inception, as drill ships
for civilian sailors. thus leaving the
cruising ships to their legitimate du-
ties. The batteries of these monitors
cover the general or finance instruction
of all classes of service guns, and would
fit man for ready duty on all but a
torpedo boat: while in the other fields
of sailorman's. education they cover
the arts of navigation, seamanship and
tactical evolutions, and the very inn
portant duties of the firemen and en-
gineers-the true life-givers of every
modern man-of-war.

TIME AND MONEY. Sickness
causes a loss of both time and money.
You lose the time and have the ex-
pense of medical attendance. entailing
a double loss. This can be avoided by
using some reliable remedy at the first
stage of the sickness. The purchase OF
a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy often proves a
profitable investment. for, by its use at
the first appearance Of any unusual
looseness Of the bowels, severe at
tack Of diarrhoea or dysentery may be
averted that might otherwise compel a

SUMNER NOT READY
FOR VOYAGE

Despite expectations that the trans
port Summer would be ready to resume
the voyage to Manila this morning, the
refrigerator is not yet in readiness to
receive the cold storage cargo and it is
possible the vessel will not pcI out un-
til tomorrow morning.
Passengers and crew aboard the
transport Sumner for several days past
have felt nl-effects from the water
which they drank on board since their
arrival at Honolulu. At least they be-
lieve it is due to the water, and yes
terday sample Of the liquid was taken
to physician for analysis. His report
is expected some time today.
The Sumner seems to have entered
into a series OF vexatious difficulties on
the present voyage, and this new de-
veIopment may hold the vessel In port
for several days more. or until the
source OF the contamination is ascer-
tanned.
The water which the people aboard
drank on the voyage from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu was all right, al
though slightly rusty before reaching
Honolulu On arrival here, it was found
to be brackish and could not be drunk
except in tea and coffee. Several peo-
pie became slightly i'll and it was gen
orally accredited to the new water they
were drinking. which first had to pass
through the tanks. a few sailors have
been very sick
The Sumner first lay at the Pacific
Mail dock where the water hydrant is
with the city mains. At the
Naval dock. where the transport is at
present moored. water is obtained from
pipes which lead from an artesian well
sunk on the Naval Station premises.
Owing to both the difficulties which
the transport has encountered it has
been rumored that the vessel might re-
turn to San Francisco instead Of con-
