Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette !
Washington, ID. c., April II.
The Venezuelan mail which arrived to-
day brought the text OF the reply Of Presi-
dent Castro to the demand of the United
States that he should agree to submit the
asphalt case and other claims of Ameri-
can citizens 10 arbitration. This demand
which was submitted by u. S. Minister
Bowen to the Venezuelan government
two or three weeks ago was met with a
response which Minister Bowen, in a
cable dispatch to the State Department,
characterized as both ''insolent and i'm
pertinent. At the State Department
this morning while it was admitted that
the reply had been received information
was withheld as to its tenor. While it
was undoubtedly unsatisfactory there was
manifest disposition TO suppress its lam
guage or import. Assistant Secretary
of State LOOMS said that it would have
to be submitted to the consideration
OF the Cabinet and intimated that
nothing would be done in the mat
ter until after the return of Presi-
dent Roosevelt from his hunting trip.
The mail also brought confrmatory ad
vices of the refusal OF, President Castro
to receive Senior Lucas Cabelero who
was appointed by President Reyes of
Colombia as Colombian Minister to
Venezuela in an effort to establish friend
ly relations between the two countries.
President Castro declined to reestablish
diplomatic relations with Colombia un-
less that country would first restore the
two border provinces which the King of
Spain, as arbitrator, gave to Colombia
in the recent boundary dispute. His
contention was that Colombia aided in
the recent Mstos rebellion and he de-
manded the cession of these two prov
lnces as indemnity. Colombia, of course,

Broke Up Meeting.

St. Petersburg, April ia demand
was made today by Governor General
Trepof for the list of the barristers who
attended the Pan-Russian congress OF
barristers, which met yesterday. The
barristers adopted resolutions providing
for the formation of an association to tOs-
ter social and professional intercourse,
and to strive for the political freedom OF
Russia On the basis Of democratic con-
stitution. The police broke up the meet
ing on the ground that it had not been
authorized and expelled the delegates
from the hall, where they we're meeting.
1t is believed that the demand today for
for the names of those who attended the
gathering means that they will be ex-
PEELED from the city.

Commissioner DIMENSIONS Warner has
cited zen members of the Board of Pen
sion Review to show cause why their SER
vices should not be dispensed with. This
action was taken by the commissioner
because of the discovery of serious delin-
quencies in the allowance of pensions to
members of Pennsylvania regiment or
ganized in 1861, which never participat-
ed in the service. An examination of the
pension rolls would show that others be-
side members Of Pennsylvania regiments
are receiving fraudulent pensions.

Assaulted and Robbed.

A hunt is in progress in Henrico
county for the ASSISTANTS of W. A.
Cairns, a we'll known saw mill owner,
who is in a serious condition from
wounds received while going through a
lonely road Friday night with roll of
money to pay his men for their week s
work. Mr.. Cairns had $3.50 in his
pockets, and a gold watch. The mill is
situated in a remote section of the county,
and is reached by road running through
dense wood. 1t is near the famous
Seven Pines battlefield. Mr.. Cairns
was near the mill when he received a
blow from behind which stretch ed him
unconscious on the earth. Two hours
later he came to himself, and found his
money and watch gone. With tottering
steps, he reached a house some distance
of, where he has since lain desperately
i'll. His wife is absent in Massachusetts,,
whittier she went to bury her mother.
The governor will be requested to offer
reward, and every effort will be made to
capture the guilty ones.

The Two Fleets.

Dispatches from the far East received at
an early hour this morning that the ex
act whereabouts of both Vice Admirals
Togo and Rojestvensky, commanders, re-
spectively, of the Japanese and the Rus
sian fleets, are as yet unknown. 1t now
appears that the Russian squadron that
passed Singapore and was seen at anchor
Sunday near Manki, an island Of the
Anambas group, $50 miles northeast of
Singapore, is commanded by Rear Ad-
miral Enquist. ROestvensky is proba-
bly, on a battleship in another small di-
vision of the fleet.
Should the Russians attempt 10 seize
the Dutch island OF Great Natuma for
use as a base they may clash with the
Dutch, as a Dutch squadron has left the
Island of Java under secret orders, evil
IDENTIFY to enforce neutrality. An Ameri-
can cruiser and two torpedo-boat destroy
ers are cruising around the Philippines
to prevent any violation of neutrality.
Supposed Russian warships reported of
Muntok are believed to be the Dutch
squadron.
japanese officials believe Rojestvensky
is not looking for an immediate engage.
ment, but that he will attempt to reach
Vladivostok. Itis also thought he may
have a second rendezvous in the Pacific
Ocean. -

Town DESTROYED by Fire

Horton, w. Va, one of the largest in
that State, was destroyed by fire yes.
terday, and with it went the entire town,
consisting of a hundred and fifty com
pany houses and millions of feet eflumber,
shipment of which had been prevented
by shortage of cars. Sparks from the
dinkey engine on the logging railroad
set FIRE to the woods, the flames gradually
eating their way to the town and plant.
In the hope of saving the twin town OF
Whitmer, houses have been pulled down,
but high wind makes this probably Of
little avail. Horton is the terminus OF
the Dryford Railroad. The mills des-
troyed had a capacity OF 1900. 600 feet a
day. No estimate Of the loss is obtain
able 10 night.

TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL II. 1905.

SENATOR MARTIN began his cam
paigne at Lunenburg yesterday, making a
speech before a large audience. lie
made no direct reference to Gov. Mon
taoue but said that before he would ex-
alt himself by disparaging another he
would retire from the race. He said 1t
was his intention to stand upon his
record. He than showed what he had
accomplished FIR Virginia, not as mat
ter of seli-glorifcation, but to show that
the department runner" had earned
his salary He admitted being true to
his friends, and said that when he had
fsvors to bestOw they went to his
friends, hut that in his capacity as rep
resentatiye, he served friend and foe
alike without asking how they stood.
He made the statement thst as he had
been called a railroad attorney he de-
sired to say that he had severed all con-
nections with them when chosen Sena-
tor. He said further that when he was
elected every railroad president in Vir-
giuia was opposed to him, and such was
the case now. He closed by expressing
willingness to let the people of Virginia
pass on his claims. His speech was
straightforward, manly and businesslike
and in marked contrast with the in
temperate address delivered by Gov.
Montague a week ago.

ACCORDING to treasury experts, there
will be a greater production of gold this
year than ever before in the history Of
the country. Rich veins of the precious
metal have recently been discovered in
Nevada, and the general outlook has
caused comment in financial circles. "a
great increase in the production Of gold, "
says Director Roberts, Of the MinqBureau,
"means the coming Of prOpOrtionate
number Of coins. There is no limit SET
10y law upon the amount ofgold that may
be put in circulation, aud increased coin
age means more money in circulation. ~
This is the contention of many of the free

Striking Italians.

One hundred Italians employed on the
new line OF railroad of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company near Lancaster,
Pa, struck for higher wages yesterday.
Headed by man carrying red flag,
they marched along the four miles OF
work east OF Quarryville and compelled
the other men to quit. They attacked
two gangs of Austrians who attempted TO
continue at work. and beat several of
them severely. Teams we're taken from
teamsters, who resisted, while engineers
who refused to do as ordered were drag
ged from their dlnky engines. All opera
tions on that section of the work were
suspended later in the day. Everything
was quiet last might, but trouble is fear
ed as the strikers declare they will permit
no one TO work until their demands are
complied with. A number of special
constables have been swore in to protect
the non-strikers.
