Remarkable Result.
The recovery Of Miss Gertrude L. Bull

CASTRO MUST BE CURBED,
President Of Venezuela Manifests Strong
Hostility Against Foreign
Interests

Paris. March 25.-An official dispatch
from Caracas, Venezuela, says President
Castro, who was absent from the capital
during the recent supposed amelioTa ton
of the situation. has returned and has
manifested strong hostility against
American and French interests. His at
titude, it is added, is particularly menac-
ing against the French Cable company.
1t is premature to say what steps France
will take as the information has just
been received and the officials have not
had an opportunity to consider it. How
ever, it is likely that their action will
depend upon President Castro putting
his menaces into effect by overt acts
against the company or the forfeiture of
its concession.
No orders for warships to be held in
readiness have yet been issued or are
contemplated for the present, but there
seems to be a growing impression in offi-
cial quarters that the presence of a
Warship in Venezuelan waters might ex-
ercise a salutary influence.
The official dispatch adds that Pres1-
dent Castro's declination to arbitrate the
American demands was accompanied by
refusal to hold any conversation Of
the subject.
The French Cable company has re-
ceived advices practically to the same
effect. These indicate that President
Castro's influence will probably cause
the court to render final judgment upon
the Gable company's concession early
next week. 1t is the unofficial opinion
that the attitude Of President Castro
against both American and French in
terests makes the moment Opportune for
some exchange of communication along
similar lines
President Ready to Act.
Washington, D. c., March 25-Re-
neWed interest in Santo Domingo affairs
was manifested in official circles today
upon the receipt by the state department
OF cablegram from Minister Dawson,
indicating that he had effected with the
Dominican government a tentative agree
ment which, temporarily at least, would
adjust satisfactorily the fiscal conditions
of the island government
No explicit information concerning the
contents of Minister Dawson's cable
gram is available at this time as it has
not been communicated to President
Roosevelt. 1t is believed, however, to
be of such Importance that the Presi-
dent will take action upon it as soon as
it is made known to him.

Effects Of Prosperity.

In the six years Of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 19O3,.
average prices Of breadstuffs advanced
65 per cent, meats 23.1 per cent, dairy
and garden products SOL per cent and
clothing 24.1. All these were products
of the farmer and stockman who.
proflted more than any other class of
the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 421 per cent by
that advance in the average price Of
metals. The only decrease in the aver,
