NOT AFRAID OF UNITED STATES
Castro Replies to Recent Proposal
for the Arbitration OF the Bernu
deZ and OlIcott Cases
Correspondence of the Associated
Press)

Correspondence of the Associated
Press.)
Caracas, Venezuela, April 2.-"Presi-
dent Castro will not withdraw the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt Company
case from the Venezuelan courts, and
will not re-submit the Olcott case to
arbitration if the whole American
army and navy come to Venezuela
This emphatic statement of General
Alexandra Y Barra, the Venezuelan sec
rotary OF foreign affairs, reflects the
spirit of the reply which President Cas-
tro made to the recent proposal of the
American State Department for the
arbitration of the BermudeZ and Oh
colt cases.
1t was generally rumored through
out Venezuela hat the demand of the
United States was little less than an
ultimatlm to General Castro, Inc the
reply of the Venezuelan President was
awaited with interest. Predictions Of
Intervention from the refusal of Cas-
trO to yield were freely made, and
there was much uneaSinesS when it
was announced that the Venezuelan
government had not only refused the
demand to arbitrate the case, but had
supplemented it's refusal with a re-
guest that the United States declare
whether it has any respect for the SOW
ereignty and the courts of Venezuela.
Nearly two weeks have passed since
Castro made his reply, and as no &C.
tioQ has been taken by the United
States and no further demands have
been made, the last demand of the
United States has gone the way OF
many previous requests for arbitration,
and the incident is practically closed
as far as it's discussion in Caracas is
concerned.
President Castro and his advisors
claim hat to reopen the Oicott case
would be an insult to Holland, as Me-.
Barge, who acted as umpire, is a well
known Dutch diplomat. They also
hold that as Venezuela was denied The
right to have the arbitration of the
Belgian waterworks case re-Opened,
none of the other cases settled under
the Washington protocols shall be re-
considered.
It is emphaticaIly denied in the reply
of President Castro that there are any
claims pending between the United
States and Venezuela. He again :reit
crates Iii the New York and BermI:
dez Asphalt case now in the tenez'le'
Ian courts is a national M not an in
t%ernatiOnal one.
President Castro and the members
of his cabinet take the ground that
while the government stands fer the
general principle of arbitration, it will
not have a case wreSted fram Its
courts to be carried before a board OF
arbitration.
The charges that Venezuela is NO.
paying its obligations to creditor IA
tions under the Washington protocols
are denied by administration officials.

the negro should be given a free hand to work
out his own salvation-or to repeat his homely
and truly Lincoln-like phrase: "Help him if he
stumbles, but if he lies down, let him stay" 1t is
as true of the negro as of the white man, he says,
"that in the long run his fate must depend far
more upon his own effort than upon the efforts of
any outside friend"

sun shines, the Cars government. the last strong
hold of absolutism, is doomed. The press may
be shackled, free speech suppressed, two thousand
defenceless men and women shot down at the
Cars gates, hundreds and hundreds of thousands
killed in a war of greed; but the hour of the
peoples deliverance is very clearly approaching.
The long debt of the centuries must be paid.

Roosevelt on the Negro Question.

Before the Republican Club of New York City
last Monday night-the occasion being the an
nual Lincoln Birthday banquet-President Roose-
Welt delivered an address on the race problem in
the South which has won him golden opinions
throughout the country. The address, in fact,
is quite the equal of ex-President Clevelands ne
gro problem speech of about a year ago, and the
utterances of these two men indicate with what
justice the sober public sentiment of the North
is dealing with our Southern questions. 1t is all
the more gratifying that after the abuse which
he bore in silence throughout a bitter campaign,
President Roosevelt should now show himself
broad enough to speak as he has done.
In the very beginning of his speech he repeated
a favorite expression of his, that America "has
the proud right to claim as its own the glory
won alike by those who wore the blue and by
those who wore the gray, by those who followed
Grant and by those who followed Lee; for both
fought with equal bravery and with equal sincerity
of conviction, each striving for the light as it was
given him to see the light" He declared, too, that
for the negro problem the South "is not alone
responsible" and that there is here "an embarrass-
ment of conditions" which should call forth the
sympathy of the Northern white man.

CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF THINGS
AS WE SEE 1T.

AS WE SEE -
The first part of last week found the country
e1ocked in the icy grip of an arctic BLIZZARD" as
our poets would say. There was zero weather even
in Mississippi and Louisiana, and Atlanta was
shut out from communication with the outside
world for two days. The most sensational news
from abroad was that of the assassination of
Grand Duke Sergius of Russia Friday. Monday
our National House of Representatives was the
scene of bitter and exciting exchange of abuse
between VIM. r. Hearst and Representative Sulll-
van, of Massachusetts. Two or three generations
ago. "cofee and pistols for two" would have fol-
lowed. Even. the dignifed Senate added some
thing to the gayety of nations last week, as the
grave Solons rose to the defense of their inalien-
able right to formulate all foreign treaties.
The Assassin Again Terrorizes Russia.
Every day makes more miserable the plight of
Russia; every day brings new evidence of the
impossibility of happiness for oppressed or OPP
pressor in a country where injustice obtains. There
is nothing more %virtuous than Nature; in the long
run, she pays her every debt in full. If the roy
atty of Russia feeds fat on the labors of the poor,
they pay the price in their own consciences and
in the hourly dread of assassination-the terror
that walketh In darkness, the arrow that fieth ct
MONDAY. Emperor after Emperor has fallen, and
twice now within six months the assassin has
again struck with a hairs breadth of the impe-
rial throne. Last July it was Won Phehve, the
most powerful member of the Cabinet, a reaction
cry, a hater of the people. And Saturdays dailies
brought the news that
with the walls of the far-famed Kremlin
palace and almost underneath the historical tower
from which Ivan the Terrible watched the heads
of his enemies falling beneath the axe on the
famous Red Square, and within a stones throw
of the great bell of Moscow, Grand Duke Sergius,
uncle and brother-in-law of Emperor Nicholas
and chief of the reactionaries, was blown to death
by a bomb yesterday afternoon"
The Cars Government Doomed.
The dispatches tell US, too, that the explosion
shattered every window In Moscow's magnificent
Palace of Justice-but if this had been a real
temple of justice, instead of a mockery and a lie
as is all the Russian system, the tragedy would
not have occurred.
Grand Duke Sergius was not only the Cars
uncle, but married the sister of the Czarina. "He
was one of the leading spirits in the Russian re-
dictionary party and was credited with being the
chief of the malign influences which surrounded
the Gar, forcing on the war with Japan and re-
pressing all the Cars inclinations to grant the
Russian people a more liberal form of govern
ment. He was also chief of the band of robbers
of high rank who were responsible for the unpre-
pared condition of the Russian army when it
entered upon the war. One of the reasons why
the Gar deprived him of the governorship of
Moscow was the discovery and publication of the
fact that he had looted the Red Cross funds
and stolen and sold supplies that had been fur
