BIG STICK HELD
 OVER VENEZUELA
WAR FLEET TO BE SENT IF GAS TRO FAILS TO MEND
 WAYS.
As the Next Step, the Custom Houses May Be Seized-Roosevelt Is Anger ed by Persistent Asphalt, Jaurett and Protocol Evasions.

Washington. Dec. 29.-PresiCsnt Roosevelt has determined to teach President Castro. of Venezuela les son in good government. Mir. RooSe- welt is weary of the long delays of the Venezuelan courts in deciding he as phalt controversy. angry ever the eX- pulsion from the country of A. F. Jau- rett. an American editor at Caracas, and indignant over the efforts being mace by Castro to evade he terms of payment of the foreign debt provided for in the peace protocols signed in Washington by Minister Bowen, acting as the Venezuelan Peace Envoy. and the British, German and Italian Am bassado-s.
 Castro will be given sky days in which to mend his ways. If a. the end of the period, of grace he shall not have assumed an attitude which the Pre5i- dent considers fair and just to this country and the foreign powers fleet of American warship5 will be sent to Venezuela to make a demonstration. If this be not sufficient to produce the desired reform several ports anC GUS tom-houses probably will be seized and held until all disputes have been satisfactorily adjusted, and Castro has promised to be goo6. The President is determined if the lesson has to be taught it shall be thorough, and that the effect shall be felt by all the Cen tral and South American governments
 Castro was today given broad hint of what he may expect when notice was served on him by Minister Bowen that his explanation of the reasons for the expulsion of MT. Jaurett is "very unsatisfac'o to the State Depart ment. The State Department officials say the explanation was ridiculous. anc
 really no explanation at all.
 The asphalt case has been dragging along for months. A final decisicr
 was promised early in November but il
 has not been rendered, nor is there any
 indication that it soon will be. MT Castro is not anxious to expedite the
 case. as he is now receiving all the revenues from the jale of asphalt. a:
 the government is in full possession ol the New York and Bermudez Asphalt ICOmpany's concession.
 | The execution of the Presidents viz iorous policy toward Venezuela will bt
 delayed until the latter part of Februa
 ry only because all the warships vii
 be engaged until then in the winter ma
 nuvses in the Caribbean The manou
 vres will not be over until March 9
 but the most important of practice
 operations will be concluded by the lat
 ter part of February. and enough of tn, | .l.-
 ton against Venezuela then can b' spared without interfering with thu
 drills to follow.
 MT. Roo5eveit's interpretation of thu ! Monroe doctrine is that while thi ! country will protect the republics t' ! the south from foreign aggression.
 must also protect the interests of th' powers of Europe anC compel the re publics to be honest and fair in the. dealings with all coun. .ries.

GIVING OUT INFORMATION.
Secretary Root. Calls Attention to the
Departments Orders.

Apparently because of the publication of
certain actions of the War Department that
the authorities desired to keep from the
public Secretary Root has issued orders
designed to a more strict guard over the
actions of the officials of the War Depart
ment His instructions are contained in a
circular just issued, providing as follows:
1.-THE following provisions Of War De-
partment circular of December-4, 1892 are
hereby republished for the information and
guidance of all concerned:
" The attention of all officers and en-
ployes on duty in the War Department or
in any of the bureaus thereof is invited to
the provisions of section 549S of the Re
vised Statutes, which prohibits the giving
of any information other than in the dis
charge of official duty, to aid or assist in
the prosecution or support of any claim
against the United States Attention is also
invited to the following extract from War
Department orders of May IS, 1894:
xxi ca. No information, written or
oral. shall be directly or indirectly commu-
nicated respecting the business of the de-
partment. or any of the records pertaining
directly or Indirectly thereto, to any person
whatsoever not on duty in one of the bu-
reaus of the department, without the eX-
press authority of the chief of the bureau
concerned
Chiefs of bureaus are primarily respon-
sible for the official records of the War De-
partment pertaining to their respective bu-
reaus and under their immediate control.
and no information specially prepared from
the records of any bureau should be fur
nished to any person not connected With
the department without the antecedent au-
thority of the Secretary of War"

RIDDLE IN COTTON.
Recent High Price When December
Maximum Was Paralleled.

From the New York Evening Post
The fact that the price of 141o cents per
pound, at which cotton sold on the eve Oh
last Tuesdays break. was the highest
reached at this season of the year since
1874. is generally known. 1t Is not SO WIDE
ly known that 1t is the highest prloe
reached at any time in fifty years, except
in the paper money initiation. the civil war
blockade. and the single year 1851 Com
harrison with the war and fiat-money Pc
RODS would, of course, not be fair, the cir
cumstances Of those times being wholly alb
normal and in no respect analogous to this
years.
The rise of cotton to 1875 cents in 1887
was somewhat singular, from the condltons
attending It, The sweeping financial panic
of that year broke out In September; IN
October all but one of the New York banks
suspended, and the country's trade was par
alyzed Yet it was in this very month OF
October that cotton, which had started the
wear at 10 cents a pound rose TO 1913.
The crops Of that season and of the season
before, though short some 4OOoe TO ooo-
600 bales of the crop OF 1900, were sun
above the average of the few preceding
wears. but in the same two seasons con-
sumption In Europe and America Increased
enormously The financial crash put
speedy end to this demand of spinners, and
the price declined to SB cents IN the en-
suing spring.
The fact which marks out the past sea-
sons cotton speculation as an undertaking
quite apart from even the curious move
mont Of 1857 is that. beyond the govern
ment's estimate and the price itself, there
has been not a shred of evidence that the
crop is below that Of a year ago. Deiiv-
cries from farm to market. up to the pres
ent date, though the crop ripened very iate,

period in any year since $685. This weeks
arrivals ran $1,000 bales above the same
week last year, and the stock of American
cotton in the hands of consumers ana inc
markets Is today 10000 bales above this
date last year. when the price was lower
by AZ cents per pound.

GHOSTS OF ELEPHANTS.
A Superstition Of the Natives OF an
AAatic Region.

From the Singapore Straits Budget.
In the last number of the journal OF the
Straits branch of the Royal Asiatic Society
there appears an interesting article from
the pen of A. D. Machado on the supposed
evil influence Of ghosts. He says:
Some years ago / was engaged In GER
tain prospecting operations In the nigh
lands OF Pahang, on the borders of that
state with Parak / had occasion to make

strongly advised US to go elsewhere, al
leging that this place was haunted by
elephant ghosts, and that they had been
the direct cause of a number of deaths,
principally among their children, whose
remains lie buried there.

as genuts in Malay. When the Sakais refer
to this place II is usually with bated
breath and a mysterious and awesome
gesture. These men declare that almost

CONDITIONS IN HAITI.
Minister Leger Has a Long Confer
ence With Acting Secretary Loomts.

Mr.. Leger. the Haitian minister, called at
the State Department today and had long
talk with Acting Secretary Loomis respect
Ing the conditions in his country. Reports
have come to the United States of revolu-
tionary disturbances at Port au Prince, the
last bearing date Of January q AS the min
lister has received complete advices OF date
two days later he is absolutely satisfied
that there is no foundation for these re-
ports, because his own correspondents make
no mention whatever, of trouble.
The minister has been advised that GER
tain officials of the National Bank of Haiti
have been arrested and are now in jail on
charges of criminal Justification of accounts
and fraud. Mr. Leger states that he is
positive that these people are to have alb
solute justice melted out to them. Two of
the officials are German and one is a
Frenchman, which fact accounts for the
presence in Haitian waters of q German
and French naval vessel But as the Hal
tan government has already signifed its
intention to allow the law to take its course
no foreign interference Is expected.

nightly elephants are seen and heard

PERMISSION until almost daylight. This noise
they said came from those Sakai children
buried there.
This account is interesting from an
chronological standpoint in so far as 1t
illustrates the beliefs and superstitions Of
race of very primitive people. AS for
the number of children dying at a time,
this would seem only natural when 1t Is
remembered that an epidemic of measles
was then and had for some time been
raging"
