An Ulflmatum.

Washington. Special.-Minister Bow
en-, Venezuelan's representative in the
settlement of the claims of that coun-
try, has sent through the British am
bassador here. what amounts practi-
cally to an ultimatu,n to the allied
powers Of Great Britain, Gtrmany and
Italy, regarding their insistence for
preferential treatment In the settle
ment OF their claims against Venezuela.
It is in reply to the proposition sub
mitted at joint conference OF the ne
gotiations, by the British ambassador
that the allied powers be allowed two
thirds Of the 30 per cent. Of the GUS
toms receipts Of the ports OF La Guiara
and Porto Cabello and that the United
States and the other claimant nations.
France, Belgium. Holland. Denmark,
Spain and Norway and sweden. con-
tent themselves with the remaining
one-third OF this per centage, that Is
10 per cent. of the receipts OF these
two ports. In the note received from
the British AMBASSADOR. by Minister
Bowen, the latter refuses point blank
to accept the proposition fer 20 and
10 per cent. division, ca the ground

bodies would be absolutely offensive to

thought, asleep on his cot wrapped in
bed clothes. He made the round OF the
Jail and found the other prisoners safe.
He again went to Utley's CALL. and
discovered that the shape in the bed
was made up OF the boards wrapped in
blankets, land that Utley was gone
There were two padlocks on Utleys
cell; one was locked, the other unlock
ed. Pate admits that the door. on the
corridor opening to the tier Of cells in
which Utley was confined was open;
also door leading to the staircase
outside the Jail. He says this was GUS
tomary. II Utley squeezed through the
opening made by the removal of the
boards. he had but one door to pass
instead OF four. Whence he obtained
the keys Is mystery.

other prisoners searched. Della Wad-

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL
Drainage.

In asking the South Carolina legis-
lature for an appropriation to continue
its work, the sanitary and drainage
commission of Charleston county has
made an interesting report of its pro-
gress in reclaiming $4,000 acres Of
lowlands near Charleston. At a cost
of a little more than $5.141 about
3,036 acres have been drained, and the
commission reports that that territory
Is now perfectly healthy, and it as
serts that the mere reduction Of the
number Of mosquitoes which had been
bred in the ponds and morasses has
been Of incalculable benefit to the
health of that section. The commits
sion states that the work is now ap-
preaching a section Of the county
which has been for years considered
the mos lawless. Drainage will make
the territory healthy and permit its
occupation by law-abiding whites, SO
that it will be sanitary both from the
physical and moral standpoint. The
undoubted good results already OBJ
tanned through this drainage work
ought to encourage its prosecution Of
completion and lead to a more gen.
eral movement for the reclamation Of
other such waste lanLs in the South.

Want to Keep Hob5on.

Washington, Speclal.-The Navy De-
partment is unwilling to allow Con-
structor Hobson to ritire from the
navy, even upon resignation outright
and the abandonment of the privilege
OF going upon the retired list. The
reason for the unwillingness is the
pressing need of the construction corps
for the services of just such young OF
ficers as Mr.. Hobson, and the efort VIII
be made to induce him to remain ON
duty. The construction corps has lost
the services OF four able men during
the past year and with the rapidly in
creasing amount OF construction WORK
the Navy Departments feels that It
must stop the drain.
