Their hatred Of citizens of the United
States was noticed and remarked upon
by all our people residing In Venezue-
la, and was shown by them In various
ways. Foreigners Of other n%ationall-
ties, among them English and Ger
mans, considered the treatment OF
Americans by the V~enezuelans a great
joke, and improved the occasion to
make sarcastic remarks about the
~love'' of the Venezuelans for us.
The Venezuelan government officials
are as characterless and corrupt as
those of any on earth.
While Venezuela is a so-called re
public" President Castro has not per-
mitted an election since he succeeded
Guzman through a revolution to the
Presidency. Castro arbitrarily regu-
lates the tariff, and an import that has
a duty of 5 per cen on 1t to-day may
by his order have % per cen on 1t to-
morrow. One of his acts since he be-
came President was to order, under
the penalty of imprisonment for Its
violation, all olive trees, cut down, In
order that he might derive more reve-
nue. from imported olives.
Most Of the foreign companies and
business men ascertain after they have
invested their capital in Venezuela
that they are subjected to systematic
blackmail. II they do not contribute
as called upon by the government off,
Gals they soon find their business ham,
pered, IL not entirely ruined, by said
officials, who are responsible to no one
but Castro, and 1t is understood that
he Stands In" with them In their de-
mands upon the foreign business peo-
ple. As he alone, as already stated,
regulates the tariff, It is plain how the
business Of any or all foreigners may
be affected.
II is a quite common thing for the
Secretary Of war. the Secretary Of the
Interior and the private secretary OF
the President to call on foreign bust

ness men or their managers and Dor
row" SIS, $40 or $50. These loans" are
always made. and at once charged to
business losses, as they are paid.
Nothing at all is done by the general
government of Venezuela in the inter-
ests of Its people. Everything attempt
ed by Castro is with a view to his W
perpetuation in office and his own en-
richment. That also has been the pol
Icy Of his predecessors, for he is no
worse than the others. After each one
Is overthrown 1t Is found that he has
anticipated such result and has laid up
a fortune in Paris, not In view of the
%proverbial "rainy day." but to sport
upon in Europe.
There Is no attempt to enforce any
health regulations in Venezuela, and
smallpox and yellow fever are always
with them. In fact, 1t is not unusual to

VENEZUELAN CORRUPTION.
An Americans Criticism of Affairs In
South American Republic.

Notwithstanding President Cleve-
lands action on behalf Of Venezuela,
which saved that country the loss of
part of its territory and which would
have rendered the people Of any nation
u warmest friends, says an American
long resident in the South American
republic, the government and people
of the United States are really more
hated by the Venezuelans than those
Of any other %nation-not excepting Ger
many and England up to the time Of
their present attack on Venezuela.
Through their illiteracy and dense ig-
norance the Venezuelans have imbibed
the idea that the United States govern
ment intends to absorb all Central and
South American countries.

Battle.
To the Editor of the Dispa tell:
IN reading the Confederate column of
your last issue. / came across the names
of two valiant officers which brought
TO memory an incident Of the war which
l have often heard my father, Captain
John R. Wills. relate. He served during
che war under both General Garrett and
Colonel Allen. He was private, serving
in the Twenty-eighth Virginia Regiment,
and for some deed of quick thought and
prompt action in an emergency was made
captain in the corn,nissary department..
and served under Colonel Allen until
his death.
] remember hearing my father say that
the night before the battle he was lying
in his tent. but not asleep when someone
came to the door and looked in. then
turned away, saying. .He is asleep: will
not disturb him. re recognized the voice
as that of Colonel Aliens. and said.
mo, Colonel, I'm not asleep; what can
] do for your" Colonel Aliens reply was
Nothing; only wanted to tell you good
bye. and ask you to continue to feed the
men as you have been doing.''
When my father asked an explanation,
he said he would so into battle next day,
and he did not expect to come out alive
When my father urged him not to so in
II he felt in that way, his reply was, It
was his duty TO 80, and be would fulfil
his duty.
So. wringing my fathers hand he left.
The next day he was killed.
remember the tears always filled the
eyes Of my noble. knd-hearted father
whenever he related this incident,
General Garrett also had a preEaonf-

One dizzy movement; then came the
blast of fire and lead, but only one bull
let touched blood, Uounding ConFad's
mare. The rest went high, seeming to
fill all the air with wrath. Ben loved his
horse and his hot temper called for ven-

the orchard and the incident was closed,
