Paris, Nov. 3.--Advices received by

Britain for some time. The American

protested, but the French charge

the interruption of diplomatic relations
between France and Venezuela, but
the officials here understand that the
American minister voiced the protest
of France. The suspension occurred
Wednesday, or the day before and last.

sion was that the Venezuelan govern.
ment had not received a reply to a
cable message sent to an agent abroad
President Castro attributed the non
receipt of reply to foreign influences,
hence the suspension, which, it is I'm.

The authorities here say the incident
is an additional provocation, but that
this does not change their intention
not to adopt coercive measures until
no chance remains Of securing pa.

After carefully reading the threaten
ing notice, Mr.. Jones thought that 1t
would probably be best for him to get
out, as the German Russians predomi-
mated in that vicinity and he being an
old man 60 years OF age, he was sure
that he could not cope with the ten
evil men who threatened his life, and
accordingly shook the dust of Ashley
from off his shoes, and came to Brad
dock, where he has been since.

Proposed Reforms. ls
Paris, Nov. 3.-The indications are
that Turkeys continued refusal to ac-
cept the plan of the powers for the
financial reform of Macedonia will
compel them to make joint naval
demonstration. The sultan had pre-.
viously accepted the reforms, but has
now reconsidered the matter owing to
the belief that the powers are unable

It is expected that Russia and Austria
will take the initiative, with the sup.

ton is now under consideration, but q
final determination has not yet been

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, July 2e.-whether
there is to be peace in the far east or
a continuance of war will be practically
decided at the first business meeting OF
the Washington. conference, which will
convene at the navy yard, Portsmouth,
N. H., about August 5. Baron Komura
will on that occasion communicate to
M. Witte the essentials Of Japan's peace
terms for further negotiations.
Although guarding with great care
the official statement of her terms, Ja-
pan has not kept from several friendly
governments the character of these
terms. Official Washington has been
enabled to form. within certain limits,
general idea of their character.
1t is known that Japan will demand
an indemnity that will approximately
cover the cost of the war to date. This
was communicated to Russia early in
the preliminary negotiations. The
amount is still a secret, but it is based
upon the most careful estimates of the
costs of the war and will be accom-
panied by more detailed statement
showing the method by which the ac-
tual figures were computed. twill not
fall far short of one billion dollars, ac-
cording to advices reaching here from
well informed sources.
Beside the indemnity, it is believed,
Japan's other essentials to the contin-
uance of the negotiations are the ces-
sion to Japan of Sakhalin, the trans
fer of Russa's lease, the Liaotung
peninsula and of the railway as far as
Harbin, the recognition of Japan's
predominating influence in Korea and
the return of Manchuria to China.
If the Russian plenipotentiaries are
prepared to accept these essentials, the
officials here are confident that the
basis will be laid for negotiations sure
to lead to the signing of the treaty of
Washington, bringing peace in the far
east.
A second subject for the plenipoten-
