CAsTRo's MESSAGE.
venzueian President to Congress at
 Caracns,

Caracas.
 Caracas, Venezuela, Thursday, June | 1.-President Castro read his message to Congress today. He said in part that the Venezuelan Government had maintained good relations with foreign
 countries in the degree that their res pective representatives desired. There fore the relations of Venezuela with all countries were relatively cordial. The government had acceded to the desires | of the respective representatives Of | foreign countries so far as justice, equity and the dignity and honor of the nation permitted. On the other
 hand, Venezuela had paid all the allies the amount peremptorily demanded by | them and had then paid them thirty per cent of the customs duties collected
 at Laguira and Puerto Cabello. When
 the claims of the allies had been paid the thirty per cent of the customs duties of LaGuetra and Puerto Cahello would be devoted to the payment Of other powers which had been presented pacifically. In regard to the debts of Venezuela. other than the claims or the powers previously referred to. the government of venezuela had twice sent General Jose Antonio Veluntino to Europe to make new arrangements with her creditors.
 Continuing, the President said: have the satisfaction to announce that such arrangements have already been made that agreements have been signed and the arrangement relating to the Diconto Bank of Berlin has been rati- fled by the German Government. As soon as it Is ratified here General Ve- luntino hopes that the British Govern ment will also ratify the new arrange ment made for the payment of the British Government. I consider this matter to be definitely settled with the German and British holders of Ven- ezuela bonds. These measures are ex- ceedingiy important to the credit of Venezuela and in promoting tranquility and harmony with foreign nations Venezuela, 1t will therefore be seen. Is strictly executing the terms of the pro toools
 with the United States through causes foreign to our will and without the least responsibility on our part, we have had a slight difference. but the discussion of the questions seems to have made the facts clear to the Amer ican Government. judging from the measures the said government lately passed in favor of our good and cordial friendship. These questions refer to the Bermudez and Orinoco Companies The latter have already been adjudged under the protocols, but nevertheless MT. Bowen desired a new arbitration. The government could not accede to this. as the sovereignty and the inde- pendence of the republic were inyolv- ed"
 that Automatic relations between Ven- ezuela and Colombia would be renewed at no distant date.

Clash of Authority at AIusIxOgee, in the
 Territory.

Muskogee, l. T., June 2.--Practtcally every white business house in Musko- gee and throughout the Indian Terrltory nav be closed tomorrow for refusal to nay the tribal tax. No tax has been naid for three years pending a decision of the court. The case Is now Tn the supreme court but the interior depart- uent has wired the Indian agent to proceed with the collection.
 Business houses declare they will not nav the tax and the Indian police say they will nall up the doors of all but national banks and business houses owned by Indians. The Indian police came to Muskogee today In squads 10 enforce the collection and at o'clock began to close the stores. An Indian cantain and six policemen were at once arrested by city officers on war rants sworn out by merchants. Prac- tically the same conditions exist In all Indian Territory towns as here.
 Indian Inspector J. George Wright to- dav suspended Acting Indian Agent J. Fontress Wisdom for refusing to sign an order to the Indian police to collect the Creek tribal tax or close the busl- ness houses of this city. Wright then Issned the order and the Indian police closed seven business houses. There was much excitement when the city polIce arrested the Indian officers who are commissioned by the United States IL Is rumored that the interior depart ment officials have called for troops. The Indian police are charged with as- sault and battery.

PEOPLE KNOW NOW.
Russian Censorship of Dispatches is
 Removed.

l ttemOVeOs
 St. Petersburg, June 2.-The Russian press this morning still is advocating more vigorously than ever the sum moning of a national assembly, even the reactionary Sviet joining in the general chorus. In view of the cur | rent rumors it is most significant that the papers which are more or less in the confidence of the government unanimously take the position that | representatives of the people should decide the question of peace or war. All censorship Is now removed from foreign dispatches and the people are appalled, at the horrible stories of slaughter on board the Russian ships. The admiralty has not yet been able to estimate even approximately from the foreign advices the loss of men. but as the ships were over rather than under manned the total will be greater than the ordinary complement of the vessels would indicate and probably will exceed 10000 If only about 1000 were saved.
 Requiem masses are being celebrated constantly in all the churches and chapels for the repose of the souls of the slain although the distracted rela- tives are unable to learn definitely the fate of those dear to them. The ad- miralty up to the present time has
  situation except to announce the safety of those who have reached Vladiyostok.
 Ugly stories are circulating in this city of the demoralization and even treachery of the crews of several of the Russian ships during the battle. and it Is even said that the crew of the bat tIeship Orel bound their officers and hoisted the white flag. The origin of these stories, which are discredited by all naval men here, cannot be traced, as the only direct information comes from Japan, but doubtless they are based on the trouble among the crew of the Orel before her departure for the Far East. She was sunk at her dock before she left Cronstadt and later at Libau the crew was mutinous,
 Indignation against Rear Admiral Nebogatoff is growing. The epithets coward" aIfd traitor are coupled with his name especially since the re- ceipt of the Tokio dispatches showing that his surrender was not in the heat of the battle, but with the land close under his lee to which his crews could have escaped after the destruction of the ships.
 Conservative Russians are alarmed at the possibility of disorders in va rious parts of Russia as a result of the usaster and a feeling of disquietude for the future is manifested every where.

 New York, June 2.--Details have just been received here of the mysterious disappearance recently in Brighton, England, of Mulford Martin, wealthy young American.
 The young mans mother, whose home was in Rye. N r., married some time ago Dr. Walsh of San Francisco. Wishing to supervise her sons educa- ton. Mrs. Walsh accompanied him to Europe in the early part of last March. After visiting France. England and Ire- land, young Martin and his mother arr rived at Brighton on April 2S. and took a suite of rooms at an exclusive hotel.
 Martin made friends among the chorus girls of a vaudeville pavilion. and early In May walked out on pier with one of them. The girl returned to the pavilion for a short time, Mar the pier. That was the last seen of him.
 Scotland Yard detectives have been working on the case continuously, but so far have obtained no clue. A story old by an amateur trance medium to the effect that she has seen in a seance a man answering Martins description, bound and held as a prisoner in a strange house, has even led to minute search for the place described. Thus far, however, no such house has been located and a general alarm has been sent out in Paris and through all tho English cities. The missing mans guardian, who lives in New York, has received no drafts or requests for funds since April 30.
 Young Martin was to have come into possession of his fortune next Novem- her

REASON OF DEFEAT.
Japanese Expert Gives His Idea of
 The Matter

Japanese Expert Gives His Idea of The Matter.
 Tokio. June 2.-The cardinal causes of Rojestvensky's defeat have been the subject of general discussion here. One Japanese expert gives the follow ing analysis:
 First, an imperfect reconnaissance and incomplete. faulty and misleading intelligence. Second. an imperfect bat tie formation. which indicated that Ro- jestvensky did not expect to meet To- go off Tsushima. Third, the weather, the direction of the wind and the sum light were unfavorable for the Rus sians. Togo having the sun behind him and firing with the wind, while the Russians had the sunlight in their eyes and fired against the wind. Fourth, the Russians wasted their am munition and eventually ran short. It is believed that the surrender of Nebagotoff was necessary because his ammunition has been expended. Firth, the marked inferfority of the Russian gunner"
 Some experts criticize Rojestvensky for essaying the Tusuhima channel. Others uphold him. saying that his on- ly chance lay in going through that channel. The impression prevails that RoJestvensky was totally unaware of the presence of Togo's entire fleet off Tsushima. Many believed that 1t was necessary for Togo to take station at a pivotal point from which 1t would be possible to intercept the Rus sians entering either Tsushima. Tsu- garu or Soya channels. Calculations placed this pivotal point on the west coast near the western entrance of Tsugaru channel. Togo's real where abouts were known to many Japanese T., l. ..A ed; another example of the willingness and ability of the Japanese to preserve military secrets. Leaving aside the question of preparedness and superior conditions, the superiority of the Jap anese personnel, fresh from fifteen months successful campaigning under all possible conditions, must be taken into consideration.
 Many ascribe the victory entirely to the superior marksmanship of the Japanese. Togo realizing that 1t would probbaly be necessary to fight in the open sea. gave his crews long training in firing during rough weather with a heavy wind blowing and the ships roll ing. When the hostile fleets met, the superiority of the Japanese immediate ly became evident. The sinking of battleships and armored cruisers by shell fire testihes to the deadly accura- cy of the Japanese guns and destroys the theory that it is impossible to sink such ships by shell fire.
 The attitude of the Japanese naval men toward victory is curious. Togo's message to the emperor saying that the victory was the result of the em- perors superhuman influence, strikes the keynote of the navy attitude. The officers openly say the marvellous result obtained was impossible by mere human achievement alone.

San Francisco, June 2.-The Examin- CT says today;
 The story of the land frauds in Ore gon will be duplicated in California by the discovery of an elaborate system of robbery under cover of law. by which means, with the help of forgery, great tracts of the public domain in Modoc and other northern counties have been brought under private ownership. Tn many places this process has been worked out by means of dummy locaters, but in some cases, of which The Examiner has proofs. the land thieves. grown bold by long Immunity. have forged names of applicants on the AiAs nS the snryexar generals ofice.

 Fl Paso. Texas. June 2.-The Rio Grande flood situation grows worse each day. Today the water is several feet higher north of here and several hundred yards of track on the Santa Fe Railroad between Fl Paso and Albuquerque have been washed out. All traffic here Is being diverted over the Southern Pacific to Deming.
 The town of La Mesa on the opposite bank of the Rio Grande River is under seven feet of water. but no loss of life there is reported. The rise of the river was gradual and the people of the town had an opportunity to escape the flood. Anthon. another small town, was completely washed away, but there also the people were warned of the danger and vacated their homes in time. The river threatens to change It's course five miles below Fl Paso and 1t is possible that further great damage will result
