uLHIMArUM STORY DENIED.
Berlin Denies Report Of German De-
mand on Venezuela

A cablesram from Berlin last night says:
The foreign Office here denies the report
from Caracas that the German minister
has presented an ultimatlm to the Venezu-
elan government demanding the immediate
payment of the interest on the indemnity
stipulated in the protocols signed by Her
bert w. Bowen. representing Venezuela In
February. 1893 under penalty of the with
drawal OF the German minister on Au-
gust T.
Surprise Is evidenced here over the news
from Willemstad, the general impress
sion has been that President Castro was
meeting the demands OF the protocols
signed by Mr. Bowen Germany. Italy and
Great Britain. according to the decision
OF The Hague tribunal were to have prefer
entail treatment in the payment OF their
claims against Venezuela. after which tho
non blockading powers were to he paid
All the payments were to be made out OF
10 per cent OF the customs receipts of the
ports Of La Guaira and Porto Cabelio
which were to be set aside for that purpose
There has been feeling of dissatisfaction
among some of the members OF the diplo-
matte corps at Caracas over various acts
of President Castro, and some reports
which have reached here have intimated
that full 80 per cent of the receipts at
the two ports named was not being set
aside for the payments OF the claims
provided In the protocol. This may have a
bearing on the action which is said to have
been taken by the German minister
At the same time provision also was
made that If Venezuela failed to keep the
terms Of the protocol the Belgian govern
ment was to take charge of the customs
at the ports named and administer them I'M
til the claims of the powers were settled
along the lines agreed This. the OFF,
Gals think. should remove the necessity for
any arbitrary action by any OF the powers
sisnatory to the protocols.
Venezuela Paying.
A dispatch from New York last night
says: Mr.. Pulido. the Venezuelan charge
d'affaires at Washington, who is stopping
in this city, said today:
Venezuela has been paying everything
which 1t was obliged to pay according to
the protocols which Mr.. Bowen signed last
year 1 have heard nothing from my gov
eminent in reference to the reported de-
mand of the German government So far
as | know. there has been no trouble at all
about the payments"

MARKET AGAIN
ON NULL STREET

After lapse OF four months the
cucbstone market is again located On
Mill street. This will not only prove
satisfactory to the patrons of the var
ious booths and vans, but to the dealer
and the merchant doing business along
that prominent thoroughfare. The lat
ter will be especially pleased because
of the trade it will bring him. while
the patron and market man will Ap.
preciate meeting together once more
on ground familiar to them for yeara.
But there are few matters the city
authorities desire to call attention to
for the safety of every body. A few
sidewalks are in bad condition on
account of tue property owners along
the street. not having had the time to
repair them since the street paving
was put down. Excavations and piles
OF dirt appear in other places, CON-
sequently it behooves the drivers
of vans to steer clear of such obstacles
and patrons not to blunder or fall over
delapidated sidewalks. A little eau.
tion on the part of all interested will
prevent anything of that kind happen
ing, and it will not be very long until
the present hindrance to safety will
be removed by proper repairs being
made

Water in River Very Low.

The low stage of water in the river
becoming alarming. Unless a change
in the situation takes place soon. the
consequence can be readily surmised.
AS 1t is. people depending on cisterns
to supply their household needs can
scarcely secure a sufficiency of water
to do it. Many are already dry, and
others will soon be unless rain comes
in such quantities before very long as
TO raise the streams.
The North Branch of the Susque-
hanna has never before been so low in
the recollection of the old citizens of
Danville. 1t is far below low water
mark. A depth of four feet can scarce
ly be discovered in this vicinity, any
where between its banks, and in the
majority Of places. people could almost
step across it on the bottom stones
without wetting their shoes to any
material extent.
Should winter come suddenly in dead
earnest and general freeze-up occur
the result would be a water famine,
