zen temporarily sojourning in that be- nighted country. he would do Presi- dent Roosevelt a most valued favor For in such event the President could and doubtless would not only send war ships to La Guayra, but order marines put ashore to throw a cordon of authority about the forms of our menaced compatriots. With a few launch loads of our marines once on Venezuelan soil they could be depend ed upon to stir up enough trouble on their own account to warrant the dis patch of re-inforcements. and state of actual war might easily and quick ly follow.
 But Castro is smart enough to avoid any such blunder. He has shown such good grasp of the situation not only at his own end of the line. but at this end. that everyone would be surprised if he were to make a false move of this character or afford any reasonable Apretext for the use of force. Hence there is no other belief in the Washington government than that Castro would promptly call any bluff Mir Roosevelt might put up; and when one knows his bluff is to be met in a calm and unruffled stand pat spirit, it is admittedly very poor play to make.

 six men. well mounted and heavily
 armed. riding toward the latter place They evidently composed the party
 which committed the horrible crime
 Arriving near Bisbee, they sent three
 men into the camp to -reconnoiter They went into Daniels saloon and
 other places, and will te easily recog nized if seen again. No one knew them, as they were strangers; but that they were well acquainted with the
 customs of the place was evident. The Copper Queen Mining Co. pays us enl. iployes with checks on a Tombstone bank on the 10th of each month, and
 it is usual for the merchants of Bisbee to keep considerable money on hand at that time to buy these checks This was the case with the plundered firm, and accounts for the amount of money stolen by the robbers.
 The officers have been on the 'qui vive" for some time expecting a raid of this sort, it having been reported by a party in Clifton that a job was put up by certain hard characters of that town to rob the faro banks of this city. They have probably look ed over the field here. and finding it too desperate Q game. concluded to take in Bishee. The plans were per fectIy carried out Two men went into Castenada's store, and one, who seemed to be the leader, called upon the clerk to open the safe. As he quickly obeyed, coming from behind the counter. the leader covered his face with a handkerchief in order to disguise himself In the meantime the robbers on the outside kept up a continuous volley from their repeat ing rifles and six-shooters. When anyone showed himself on the street he was met with a demand "get back. you -" followed by a perfect fu- silade of shots. It was thus that the unfortunate victims came to their death. After the safe was rifled, the robbers rctreated to their horses and rode off down the canyon toward the Sulphur Springs valley. This morn ing at daybreak a determined posse will take their trail, and it is to be hoped will follow it to the end
 (Ed. Note.-The store Of A. A. Gas tenada mentioned as the place of the hold-up occupied the ground now used by the Angius store.)

[ ASTR TRO IS DIPLOMAT Places United States in An Embarrassing
 Position CABINET DISCUSSION President Was Eager to Send War Fleet to VenzueIa But Yields to His
 Advisors
CABINET DISCUSSION

Washington, March 29-Don Cipri- ano Castro. dictator of Venezuela, has virtually defied the United States, and the Washington government is angry about it. For the present noth- ing is likely to be done. Later on Mir Castro may get the good spanking which he seems to be so eager for.
 Minister Bowen, our representative at Caracas, cabled the State Depart ment today that Castro had flatly re- fused the proposal of the United States to arbitrate the case ot the New York and Bermudez Asphalt Company. Though the text of Min lister Bowen's dispatch has not been given out. it is known that it informs the department Castro's communica- tion was extensively worded. The dictator as good as told the United States to mind its own business. This dispatch was sent immediately to the President and was discussed at to- days meeting of the cabinet Gener- al disappointment was expressed over Castro's unreasonable refusal to sub init the dispute to arbitration, and the blunt and impertinent form of that refusal was regarded with min gled indignation and amusement.
 But when it came to the question of what the President ought to do or could do in the premises the opinion was well-nigh unanimous that there was no available means within the Constitution and the traditions of the government of disciplining the offend CT and enabling him to see the light. Hence it was announced after the cabinet meeting that for the time being at least this government would take no action. '1t is not worth while. v was an expression employed by the Presidents advisers, in answer to a query as to whether or not squadron would be dispatched to Venezuelan waters.
Bisbee daily review., 1905-04-02

Sooner or later, it is confidently predicted in administration circles, iCastro will get what is properly com ing to him-the fall he appears to be so diligently riding for-but not just now It is hinted that before the President unlimbers the big stick he will wait till Congress is in session. that if necessary a declaration of
 war may back up his ultimatum.
 There is no concealment of what the President would like to do with out delay. He would like to send a fleet down to enforce a demand for settlement cf the asphalt case either out of hand or by submission to arbi- tration. The President is commander in chief of the navy and could of course send as many war ships as he chose. But what could they do after their arrival off La Guayra or Porto Cabello? They could not seize a GUS Itom-house;f they could not lombard the place. They could not even take ipossessionEof the asphalt property and restore it to the American company which owns it and which has been busted from it by Castro's orders. The President could not instruct his fleet commander to do any of these things, because that would be an act of war. and Congress alone has the power under the Constitution to de- clare war. Mir. Roosevelt might, in- deed, send his fleet to steam up and down off the Venezuelan coast. Eight or ten of our war ships with their frowniEg black guns would present a most formidable appearance. But. it would be only a dress parade after all, and not very dignified one at that.
 President Castro would doubtless enjoy a good laugh over the brave but intellectual display of yankee pow Ter. He would refuse to permit him self to be intimidated. By this time he must he aware of the limitations of our form of government. lie must be fully acquainted with the fact that the President alone cannot de- clare war, and that under recent sen atorial construction the American ex- ecutive may not seize custom-houses or land marines. Hence it IS consid- cred pretty certain that an attempt u DiuAl NdStIO NltU q lf1ct WOulu re suit in nothing more serious than the retirement of that worthy to his mountain harem, secure in his knowl- edge that the big guns would do no shooting.
 In dealing with Castro President Roosevelt has not the advantage he had in the Panama affair. This gov ernment has no treaty with Venezu- els requiring us to maintain freedom of transit and order in the country. Nor has he. uD to this time. any such pretext as he had at Panama, or as he had in the case of the Sultan of Tur key after the now famous and almost ludricrous Smyrna episode.to wit, the need of affording protection to Amer ican citizens. If Don Cipriano were foolish enough to incite his minions to threaten bodily harm to the large snd comfortable person of Minister Bowen or some other American citi-

Noted for Her Beauty.

The Countess of Northbrook, until a
short while ago known as ViscounteSs
Barring, is looked upon us one of the
handSomest women in London society.
During the life of the late Earl, says
The Tattler, she always spent much
of her time with him at his country
home, in Hampshire, and there shone
as the most brilliant hostess in the
country, arranging the shooting parties
entirely herself and superintendent
the very smallest detail as to the com
fort of her father-in-law's guests. The
earl was devoted to her and was never
tired of showing off her. portraits and
pictures. of which he had no fewer
than fifty different kinds, and always
talked of her as his beautiful dauglr
tpr-in-law."

A Joke with a Sentiment.

At the celebration Of the t~wenty-tifth
anniversary of Johns Hopkins UniverS-
ity, when scholars from all over the
world came to pay tribute to the sue
cess of this young and great institu-
ton, Professor Sylvester was called on,
says SCribner's Magazine. to respond
to the toast, THE Universities of Great
Britain"
The famous mathematician arose, ut
tered a few h~alf-audible ~cOmmonplaceS,
hesitated, searched his waistcoat peck
ct for notes, and then said, APOLOGIZE
cally:
Il ought to have prepared for this
occasion, but instead | went to the
opera last evening, for / could not miss
the opportunity TO hear Gerster: so |
beg TO be excused"
This was hardly what was expected
from the distinguished guest, and there
was a moment Of u~neasineSs. Quick as
a flash the presiding officer stood up,
smiling at the embarrassed professor,
and said:
Il hope that will always be the mot
to of Johns Hopkins-Opera, non Yer

All ONE work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature Of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, ovarian
troubles, liberation, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucOrrh9a,
or perhaps irregularity or suppression
of monthly periods" causing back
ache, nervousness, irritability and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an ~invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is SO
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due TO
some arrangement of the female Or
ganisr..
