Washington, March 21.-In calling
upon President Castro for an answer
TO his proposition to submit to arbi-
tration the issues between the United
States and Venezuela Minister Bowen
is acting in accordance with specific
Instructions from the State Depart
ment which have recently been placed
in his hands.
If President Castro rejects this last
offer of Mr.. Bowen to arbitrate these
cases it is expected that he Will
promptly report that fact to the State
Department and it will be determines
what course to pursue. The minister's
presentment of this matter therefore
is not an actual ultimatum for the
way is still open for further negotta-
tions if the department decides that
the time has not yet arrived to with
draw it's minister and adopt some CO.
ercive measures. There is great reluc-
tance on the part Of the officials to the
adoption of the latter course but the
situation is believed to be such that
unless the department is willing 70
submit to the complete effacement of
the American claims some action must
be taken very soon. Reports have
been arriving here for some time that
many of the people of Venezuela are
penniless and in need of food. One
foreign diplomat there recently re-
ported that the conditions were inde-
scribablc and that the strict censor
ship upon everything sent out pre-
vented the world from knowing the
actual condition of affairs. All for
eigners are closely watched.

The district attorney informs me
that for some time he has been in

ed a penalty at once any person who

ably believe that an Indictment would

Peculiar Case of Princess Rospigliosi,
Nee Marie Jennings Reid.

Rome. March 21.- Cardinal Gotti
perfect of the Propaganda, has in
structed Cardinal Martinelli to reJA,rt
on the case presented by Princess Ro-
spigliosi, formerly Marie Jennings
Reid, Of New Orleans, for the annuI-
ment of her first marriage with Colo
mel Fred H. Parkhurst, of Bangor, Me-,
The case will soon be dis cussed be-
fore the Congregation of Propaganda
1t is generally believed by ecclesias-
tical authorities that annulment will
be granted, as, even admitting that
the Barl<hurst- Reid marriage was
celebrated with dispensation, which
considered him a protestant the mar
riage is null and void 1t being now
established that Colonel Parkhurst
never was baptized.
The Princess Rospigliosi, who is a
Catholic, was divorced in 1898 from
Colonel Parkhurst, who was a pro-
testant and in 1901 was married in
Rome to Prince Rospigliosi, head of
an ancient family of clerical nobil-
ity and brother of the comandant of
the Papal Noble Guard. The ceremo-
ny was a civil one, and from the first
thine Catholic Church refused to rec
ognize the marriage.
When the Prince first APPLIED to the
congregation Of the propaganda for
recognition of his wife's divorce in the
United States. the church declined to
recognize it, but Mgr Chappelle, who
married Mrs Parkhurst to her first
husband. since testified before the con-
gregatiOn that the first marriage was
irregular according to the laws of the
church.

Fears for Rennenkampr.

London, March 21.-Russian Off
cial circles in London, although with
out official news are inclined to credit
a Harbin story published in Paris
connecting the firing reported to have
been heard yesterday morning. about
seven miles south of Tie Pass, with
General Rennenkampff's division. The
dispatch from Harbin points out that
the only explanation of q cannonade
in that locality is that Rennenkampf
has at length arrived at Tie Pass,
where the Russian armies were or
dered to rendezvous in case of retreat,
but only to find the place occupied by
the Japanese. Consequently it is
feared that Rennenkampff is sur
rounded.
