CASTRO PREPARING
TO FIGHT AMERICA
Venezuela Places Orders in
Europe for Torpedo Boats
and Ammunition.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2o-venezuela has
placed orders in Europe for torpedo-boats
with guns and ammunition at the cost
of about two and half million dollars,
a larger amount than that little South
American republic has ever expended at
one time for war materials.
An American who has just returned
from Venezuela is authority for the
statement that President Castro recently
declared that he was going Ito fight the
Yankees which explains the unusually
large orders for ships, arms and ammu-
milton.
1t is reported that when the Venezu
elan executive heard recently of the ap-
pointment by President Roosevelt of
Judge William ]. Calhoun as special COM
missioner TO investigate certain affairs
at Caracas his anger was great and his
language immoderate. He announced
that he would not permit an emissary of
President Roosevelt 70 land in Venezuela.

CUBA S GROWTH
IS MARVELLOUS
Senor Quesada Declares That
Prosperity of Island Sur
prises the Most Optimistic
IS WISELY GOVERNED
Treasury Has a Surplus Of
$22.OOO,OO0 Which Goes to
Public Works and Army

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o.--In state
ment furnished to the press to-day re-
garding the prosperity of Cuba, Senor
Quesada, the Minister from the island.
declared that its prosperity was such
that even the most optimistic are sur
priSed There was no section of the
island, the Minister said, which had not
received great impetus commercially
and induStfially, and with the contlnu-
ance of the excellent sanitary condi-
tions, the increasing production and in
vestments it is to be expected that in
a few years the wealth Of the country
will be doubled"
Continuing, the statement says in
part:
The greatest proof of the develop
ment of Cuba during the administration
of President Palma can be found in
the study of the last figures of the Of
fetal report of the Cuban treasury,
showing the results of conservative,
wise and progressive Government
which has ruled the island during the
last three years.
The receipts for the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1905. were s61,75f,095,
Of which s25,944,62. was from public
revenues and $35,OS8.773 from special
accounts, of which $31,677,336 was the
product of the loan for the payment
of the Cuban army The customs re-
ceiptS were $4.S4S,942 more than the
previous year. The expectations reached
$1O1, ,O00,O77 the importations S61,377.-
664. leaving a trade balance in favor
of Cuba of about s40,000,000.
During the year payments were
made to the amount of s44,510,373. OF
which s172S6,400 was for the regular
budget and s23,066.6SS for paying the
army claims.
The total receipts for the year were
S61,711 ,095. which. plus s7,O9s,584. the
balance from the previous year. gives
grand total of s6S,9S4,714 Deducting
expenditures there was a balance OF
$24,34O,307 in the Cuban treasury on
July 1 last, which, after making some
allowances for outstanding credits,
leaves about 100000 of surplus.
Part of this will be devoted to pub
lie works ard part to serve as a basis
for money to be applied to settle the
balance due to the army.
THE Government of Cuba, which so
far has been very careful of contracting
obligations, will deal with this matter
in the same conservative and COM
mendable manner in which it has here
tofore handled the questions which
have arisen and always inspired by the
best interests of the country and mind
full of her laws and International obli-
cations.

M. BOUGUEREAU,
NOTED FRENCH
PAINTER, DIES

PARIS, Aug. 2o.--Announcement was re-
ceived here to-day of the death at Ro-
chele of Adolphe William Bouguereau,
the painter. The news was received with
general regret In the American colony,
where Bouguereau was greatly respect
ed. Bouguereau married an American
woman, Elizabeth J. Gardner.
Bouguereau had been sufferer from
heart disease the last two years and this
was aggravated three months ago by a
shock TO his nervous system, sustained
during a burglary in his Paris residence.
AT the end of July the painter went to
La Rochelle his birthplace, and he had
been bedridden since.
Despite his weakness, caused by illness,
Bouguereau retained consciousness until
the end. During Saturday night he called
for notary and made final disposition
of his estate. He died at midnight, sur
rounded by his family.
The burial will be at Mont Parnasse
Cemetery, Paris, next Wednesday.
