that the second levec is now relied up
on alone.

embankment. The report says this
flooded area extends back seven miles
from the cmbankment and that it has

CONTINUED from page ~

Venezuela incident give the erroneous
impression that Argentine asked for al
lance with the United States and tha
is proposal was rejected by the secre
tary Of state.
Il I'm fact, the dispatch of DR.. Drago
minister of foreign relations of the Ar.
| gentine Republic, aimed only to ex'
plain to his diplomatic agent in Wash.
ington the views of his home govern.
ment relative to the coercive collection
of public debts of American states by
European nations, and instructed him
to convey these views to Secretary Hay
expressing his hope that the doctrine OF
| International public law set forth by
the Argentine government should
| prove acceptable to the United States
Taking into consideration the real
character of many of the obligations
contracted by the governments of the
minor South American republics the
Argentine government has felt that
there is great danger to the peace of
/ the continent If the compulsory de-
mand of immediate payment of public
debts or national obligations is to be
accepted in silence, without discrimi-
nation, as a right of the stronger pow
ers of Europe to control and dominate
the weaker and struggling states of
Central and South America.
Complying with his Instructions,
Minister Merou left a copy of the COM
munication received from his minister
of foreign relations with the secretary
of state. In his reply Mr.. Hay did not
express assent or dissent to the doc
trine of public law set forth in the note
of the Argentine minister of foreign re-
latons. He cited the minister to the
messages of the President of Dec. 3,
1901, and Dec. 2, 1902
Secretary Hay stated further that
advocating and adhering in practice
in questions concerning itself to the re-
sort of international arbitration in set
Element of controversies not adjustable
by the orderly treatment of diplomatic
negotiation, the government of the
United States would always be glad to
see questions of the justice of claims
by ore state against another growing
out Of individual wrongs or national
obligations as well as the guarantees
for the execution of whatever award
may be made left to the decision of an
impartial arbitration tribunal before
which the litigant nations, the weak
and strong alike, may stand as equals
in the eye of international law and
mutual duty"
One of the more important features
of the Argentine note is the recognition
and endorsement given by the govern
ment of that republic to the Monroe
doctrine, which for the first time is ac
knowledged and accepted as principle
of American public law by nation of
South America.

Waterbury Police Expect to Locate
Mendelssohn's Murderer.

Waterbury, CT, March 11.-Although
there is a feeling at headquarters, to-
night that chain of evidence is slow
ly but surely being wound about the
men concerned in the murder of Po-
liceman Paul Mendelssohn, last Sunday
night. the police refuse to discuss the
situation. That they have a clue to
work upon was learned, tonight, from
excellent authority and from the same
source it was learned that an arrest
is not at all improbable.
This afternoon, accompanied by three
local detectives, and Conductor Web
erndorfer and Motorman Chambers,
Coroner Pond made a visit to the
scene of the shooting. large stain of
blood. Independent of that which
dripped through the car, was found on
the ground outside the tracks. Web

struck on the nose which caused it to
bleed and the blood on the ground was
his.
