ROME, Feb. 11.-Publlc opinion has
for some time been preoccupied by the
news of considerable Austrian arma-
ments at the Italian frontier.
Now a Vienna correspondent sends
an official statement received from the
Austrian foreign office, saying that
after 1880 for many years the relations
between Austria and Russia have been
so strained as to render it necessary
to reinforce the garrison at the frontier
of Calicia, where troops were sent
having been removed from their re-
spective garrisons.
But the relations between the two
empires having now become cordial,
through the understanding of the Bal
kans question, the reason for those ar
maments has ceased, and therefore the
reinforcements were sent back to their
former posts, including the districts of
Innsbruck and southern Styria.
1t was this movement that had
alarmed the Italians, although the
number of soldiers sent back amounted
altogether to only 5000 men.

LONDON, Feb. 11.-Sydney Greville,
the earl of Warwick's brother and
groom in waiting to the king, is the
latest victim of his majestys etiquette
craze.
Dining the other evening to meet the
king, Mr.. Greville wore white waist
coat-an objectionable faux pas, seeing
that the court is in mourning. The
king flung sarcastic remarks at Greville
throughout the dinner and was quite
angry when other guests, including
Mrs. Keppel, Lady Essex and Lord Re-
velstoke, tried to treat the affair in a
bantering spirit.
Afterward when playing bridge his
majesty sat with his back to Mr. Gre
vile to avoid continued sight of the
provocative garment.
But the king never harbors resent
ment, and three days later commanded
a dinner party at Greville's rooms in
st. James palace with the same guests.
He was most gracious to his host and
referred to the waiscoat incident laugh

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. II. - Tt
would seem as though the present
policy of Germany with regard to the
trade with Turkey is coming to the
end Of its tether.
The sultan is beginning to grow
tired of what as far as he can see are
one-sided bargains, and 1t appears TO
be certain that he will not yield to
the pressure brought to bear by Baron
Won Marschall, who insists that all the
war material purchased by the sultan
shall be made in Germany.
Acting Upon the advice of his min
lister of war, the sultan has deter
mined that the Turkish artillery shall
be supplied with quick firing guns Of
the very latest pattern.
While the German embassy seeks 20
exact the condition that the guns
must be bought from Krupp's the sui
tan seems inclined to deal with Eng
land and France, who are prepared 60
supply better guns at cheaper rates
than those offered by the Essen fac

MONTREAUX, Feb. 1.-Two Eng

st. Pancras, East, and her sister-in-
law and chauffeur, Jules Mironneau,
have accomplished the remarkable feat
of travelling in an automobile all the
way from Nice to Montreaux via the
haute Alpes, Diggne and Grenoble.
Leaving Nice at half past eight in
the morning they passed into Switzer-
land by route never before traversed
by motor in winter. For three hours
they were buried in snow ten feet
deep at the Col de la Croix Haute.
Ten miles from the Col the adven-

would be impossible to proceed by that
route. They persevered, however, and
at 8 o. m. the chauffeur had to be dis
patched for assistance, and the car was
dug out of the snow by fourteen
peasants, a proceeding which took three
hours, the average of snow in the pass
being eight feet.

rounded with 5O76 beams, each four

The timbers were then covered with

OUTCRY AT WITHDRAWAL
OF BRITISH TROOPS
Scheme of Entrusting Defense of the
West Indies to Negro Soldiers
Excites Alarm
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Feb. 10-A strong protest
is to be made to the Imperial govern
ment against the decision to withdraw
the British troops from the West In
dies. AS officially explained this week
the present situation is that the troops
in Barbados and st. Lucia are to be
withdrawn on March 81, and that by
the summer the garrison in Jamaica
will be reduced to third of its pres
ent strength.
Ultimately all the white troops will
be withdrawn, and their place will be
taken by black soldiers commanded by
British officers and nom commissioned
officers. The scheme is an outcome Of
the new defense policy and it is pro-
posed that in the course of the pres
ent year it should be applied also to
Ceylon and to the Straits settlements.
Apart from the lack of protection
which the proposal involves, there is
also a serious trade loss to be consid-
cred. In the Barbados alone, there Is
a colored population of 196,000-the
whites number about 16,500-the with
drawal of the troops will mean an am
nual loss of 10000. The West India
committee in London is fully alive to
the Importance of the question, and it
is to be discussed at a meeting OF the
executive this week. Mr.. Aspinwall,
the secretary of the committee, strong
ly deprecates the alarmists' view of the
situation.
I'VE do not want" he said "to put
Ideas into the heads of the blacks.
There is no fear of annexation by
America. but if that idea got abroad
it might easily cause trouble. for the
blacks simply loathe the United

CRISIS At HAND
IN VENEZUELA
REVOLUTION AGAINST CASTRO
IS IMMINENT
Trade Is ParaIyzed, Credit Dead and
Merchants, Manufacturers and
Foreign Element Are All
in Opposition

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, Feb. 11.-Mr. A. F. Jau-
rett, the American citizen recently ex-
PEELED from Caracas by President Cas-
He gtves ar alarming account of the
condition of affairs in Venezuela. He
states that revolution is imminent
and will be lead by General Antonio
Paradis, who is in New York buying
ammunition, arms and despatch boats.
The general who controls all the revo-
lutionary Chiefs announces that
he will begin hostilities at the end of
March, this time in Venezuelan
Guiana.
President Castro has ruined the mer-
chants and agriculturists who are
naturally hostile to him. The foreign
element is against him, and the jails
are full of political prisoners. The
recent election which gave the presi-
dent a new term of five years from May
next was a farce. 1t was an election
brought about by the bayonet. For
eign and internal debts have not been
paid since 1S99 Monopolies in meat,
transport of CATTLE navigation of the
Orinoco, mines, stamps and matches
have been given to men who represent
Castro's interests. Trade is paralyzed,
credit is dead and the country lives
from hand to mouth.
Castro has closed the navigation of
the Orinoco to all vessels coming from
the British West Indies, in defiance of
the existing commercial treaties. He
has also unjustly imposed an extra tax
of 80 per cent on all goods coming from
the British West Indies, a measure
which means ruin to Trinidad.

ADS" AROUSE IRE
OF BRITISH LORD
LURGAN ANNOYED AT A WINE
HOUSES ENTERPRISE
Circulars Are Distributed in Which
Names Of Titled Persons Are
Used, Much to Latter's
Disgust
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, Feb 11.-Lord Lurgan ex-
pressed strong resentment this week at
the way in which his name was used
in circular which has been received
by a number of firms engaged in the
wine and spirit trade. The circular
bears the name of Messrs. Adam Scott
& Co., Limited, the we'll known Irish
wine merchants, and announces the
formation of new company, with
Lord Lurgan as chairman of the board
of directors which includes also the
names of Viscount Chelsea, Capt The
Hon. Gerald Cadogan and Mr.. O'Calla-
CHAN, financial secretary to the lord
lieutenant of Ireland.
With regard to Lord Lurgan, the cir
cular contains the following astonish-
ing statement: Lord Lurgan, X. V.
P. O., Is state steward to His Excel
lency Lord Dudley, lord lieutenant of
Ireland, and possesses great influence
with his excellency and most of the
nobility of the United Kingdom, and is
on particularly good relations with Vim
cent Cochran, the gentleman who pur-
chased the lord lieutenant's wine and
spirits.
"The new companys operation" 1t
is added Twill be mainly confined TO
the supplying of wines and spirits of
the highest class to the bishops and
clergy of the Catholic church, the aris-
tocracy of the United Kingdom, the
army and navy and the beat clubs and
new company to make it a great fl
nancial success and to do a high-class
business. The directors are in treaty
with several other influential noble
men to join the board of the new
company, each of whom will bring to
the company increased selling power
and influence.
1t is also thoughtfully added that
the directors have undertaken to de-
vote a large share of their time to
personally pushing the sale of the
company's goods among their friends.
To the description of Viscount Chel-
sea is added the information that his
father entertained a king and queen
recently, while of the financial secre-
tary to the Earl of Dudley it is re-
marked that "Mr. O'Callaghan is a
born salesman, and can get wines into
places that we could not reach"
The circular is apparently addressed
to wine merchants in all parts of the
country, and it offers to exploit their
wines, with the aid of the directors
names, in return for the payment Of
G20O a year.
Lord Lurgan, when seen on the sub
ject of this astounding circular, at
once repudiated it. AS soon as it was
brought to his notice he wrote to the
gentlemen responsible, describing it as
vulgar, misleading and unauthorized"
and withdrew his name from any fur
ther association with the proposal to
form syndicate.
Lord Lurgan received a reply in
which regret was expressed at the an
noyance he had suffered, and a pro-
test was made against the unwarrant-
able use which had been made of a
"private document" His next step
was to place the matter in the hands
of his attorneys.
