VENEZUELA oFFENDs FRANCE
Closed the Inland stations of the
French Cable Company In
Offensive Manner.

Paris, Sept 22.-The offensive atti-
tude of Venezuela toward M. Taigny,
the French charge d'affaires at Caracas
aas aroused indignation In official quar-
ters here. Although the ministry has
not yet taken definite action 1t Is said
In the highest quarters that Premier
Rouvier undoubtedly will demand that
Venezuela disavow the offensive action
and adopt q course conformable with
the usual courtesies OF diplomatic in
tercourse. The Venezuelan authorities
are now seeking to show that their ac-
ton was directed against M.Taigny
personally and not against the French
government but the officials here do
not accept the distinction between M.
Taigny's personal and official capacity.
He has high standing at the foreign
Office Were he recently served. He al
80 aided Ambassador Cambon at WASH
ington during the mostdelicate phases
Of the Spanish negotiations. Therefore
there is no intention here to let Vene-
zuela make scapecoat of him.
The official directly charged with
handling Venezuelan questions ex-
planned the general status Of the con-
troversy as follows:
Venezuela supports the closing Of the
French cable company's inland stations
on the ground Of the decision Of the
Venezuelan courts. France does not
question the general right Of the courts
but maintains that the decision of the
courts contained nothing authorizing
the executive branch to seize and shut
up the cable stations.

The Italian gamblers horror Of the

fact that a 18th card of one of his
packs bears the figure Of death. In
England the superstition that one Of
