Panama, Nov Al have been

not so bad as some have painted it. The
government is doing a mighty work

cases of yellow fever on the isthmus since

Mildred & ROuclere Co.

audiences greeting them each time. The
show was undoubtedly the best OF It's

Turkey and the Powers.

While in officials circles in London 1t
is admitted that the powers do not ex-
pect the Sultan to yield as the result OF
the occupation of Mytilene, it was stat
ed yesterday that plans for the next step
had not been ultimately arranged, the
powers awaiting the British proposals.
It is said at the foreign office that the
British government does not know ex-
actly the extent of the coercion which
the other powers are willing to employ,
but it is certain that none Of the powers
is willing to resort to actual warfare in
order to enforce the demands for the
financial control Of Macedonia. The
view of the situation makes it quite
possible that demonstration by Occupa-
ton may proceed somewhat indefinitely,
The present political situation in the
United Kingdom naturally increases the
re,icence in official circles in London and
as Great Britain is taking the lead, move
ments Of the demonstrating feet may be
delayed for sometime pending the decls-
ion of the cabinet concerning It's resig-
nation Or the dissolution of Parliament.
The government has received infor-
NATION from Sofa through official
sources that the Macedonian committee
has issued what is practically an ulll-
matum that unless the demonstration OF
the ,wers shall be carried To successful
issue the revolutionares are prepared to
announce that they intend to create a
situation which viii be certain to result
in a war between TURKEY and Bulgaria.
1t is well known that Bulgaria has
been preparing for eventualities since
the revolution Of 1903. An accord hav-
ing been reached between Bulgaria and
Roumania concerning Macedonia, these
two governments are now prepared to
try conclusions with Turkey should the
necessity for such action arise.
A dispatch from Constantinople says
it is rumored that Italy cOnlempIates the
Withdrawal of her warships from the in
ternational feet hat is now engaged in
coercive measures against Turkey. A
prominent diplomat says that everybody
is greatly surprised at the Sultan's extra
ordinary tenacity. He seems confident
of split among the powers.

The Venezuelans and the Dutch.

The VeneZuelan9 ana tne Outcn'
The acute situation between France
and Venezuela has for sometime past
distracted attention from the quarrels
which the Venezuelan government al
ready had no hand with her neighbo rs.
Some diplomats in Washington familiar
with the conditions in that part OF South
America feel that in the near future
other trouble may be expected and that
some day the trouble between the Neither
lands and Venezuela may be renewed,
possibly leading to an outbreak between
the two countries. The chief complaint
of the Netherlands government is the
way 10 which the Venezuelan custom
house officers exercise their right to
seach. 1t is alleged that many times,
without due cause, the customs officers
bring Dutch ships to their ports and
keep the crew practically prisoners. The
Venezuelan government on its side has
m1de several complaints about the
smuggling trade which is kept on from
Curacao into the harbors Of Venezuela,
and which consists chiefly of firearms.
For the last 80 years there has been a
law in Curacao, forbidding the exporta:
ton of firearms, but the large colony OF
Venezuelan political exilee, who come
to the island to be near their old home
and still be free to make new plots
against President Castro, make it ex'
lremely difficult for the Ouch authorities
to enforce that law. From both sides
protests have been made, but ii is charg-
ed the Venezuelan government has
followed the same course as in most OF
its diplomatic enterprises, and the Dutch
demands have never been fully an
swered The Dutch newspapers have
begun to insist upon more vigorous &C.
ton BY their government, and it is felt
that after the French matter has been
settled this will probably be the mex
trouble in the Caribbean Sea.
