CASTRO sHUNs FOREIGNERS


Willemstad, Curacao. March 1S.
According to trustworthy advices re-
ceived here, the situation in Venezuela
Is unchanged, both internally and as to
foreign affairs, except that the rela-
lions between President Castro and the
various legations at Caracas are a little
more strained. Castro has now eeaaad
to talk with the European representa-
tlves concerning the Venezuelan debt
and the recent recall of General An
tonic Vetulini, seond vice president of
venezuela, who has been in Europe for
some time endeavoring to arrange
settlement with the British and German
Dondholders, la regarded as an indica-
tion that the negotiations have failed
II Is said that no diplomat has been
able to secure an interview with Castro
concerning disputed international ones
tions for months. Castro maintains
ms beliigerent attitude and continues
to make military preparations. He ap-
parently regards an attack on Port Ca
belio and La Guayra as probable. and
has mounted six new French six-incb |
guns and number of small guns ON the
heights overlooking these ports, and
has available three small coast defense
vessels.
Castro's attitude is reflected in A
pamphlet just issued through one of
ais advisers, Colonel Juan Bautistia
Lamedo, in which plans for sending
80. 900 Venezuelans against New
orleans are disclosed. The pamphlet
Urges the public to avenge the insults
o Venezuela offered by the Americans.

CHECK PUT ON DEFICIENCIES.


Washington, March 20.-one of the
wisest acts of the late congress was the
insertion OF provision In the general
deficiency bill that became a law on
March 3, that hereafter deficiencies
shall not be created except upon some
great emergency. Officers of the gov
eminent have been altogether too free
IN making contrats and purchases with
out regard TO the appropriations on
hand, trusting that the deficiencies
would be supplied.
When deficiency bill amounts to
the enormous figure of $3l 900, 900. IL
gives the members of congress some
cause for alarm, and II seems some
method was necessary to compel officers
not TO make these enormous expendi-
lures for which no provision of congress
had been made. The creating OF def
ciencies was in a way unlawful, and III
congress desired, il could repudiate
these expenditures. But very seldom
has any just expenditure been refused
in deficiency bill, although sometimes
criticised.

DIVIDE THE MONEY.
Two Grea, irrigation Works ARD Pro-
posed for Idaho.


Washington, March 2c.--Reclama-
ton Service Engineers Ross and Powell,
Of Idaho, called upon Senator Dubois
today in reference to the proposition
now being considered by the secretary OF
the interior to divert about 81 900, 900
from the Minidoka irrigation project
and use 1t in inaugurating what is
known as the Boise-Payette project.
Senator Dubois endorses the views OF
the reclamation service engineers ard
will call upon Secretary Hitchcock and
urge him to approve the proposition to
have both projects carried to compile
ton.
From investigations and preliminary
surveys it has peen found that part of
the Minidoka project south OF Snake
river is not feasible at this time and
cannot be built until that part of the
project north of Snake river shall be
and put into operation. 1t
is proposed to take the funds which |
would be required to build south of the
river and use them to build the Boise
Payette project, which is estimated to
cost about 81 900, 900. II this is not
lone, it is believed the funds intended
or the south project will be turned
Jack into the general reclamation fund,
nd Idaho will lose the benefit of
hem, at least for the present.
