TURN NEXT.
Castro Would Treat Minister As
He Did M. Tai8ny- Washing
ton May Act.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. - France
has demanded an immediate apology
of President Castro for what is regard
ed as his insulting and u-nwarrantable
treatment of NJ. Taigny, the French
charge d'affaires. Three French war
ships are within striking distance of
the Venezuelan coast, and two more, it
has been reported from Paris, are on
the way to West Indian waters.
The French admiral in command of
the warships now off the Venezuelan
coast is prepared to deliver the answer
of France to President Castro's treat
ment of NJ. Taigny, the French repre-
sentative at Caracas. by a naval dem
onstration in Venezuelan waters. I'm
til the demonstration has been initiated
the French government will share only
with the president and Secretary Root
the knowledge of the exact form which
this expression of her displeasure at
President Castro's action will take.
Meantime the delicacy of the situa-
ton at Caracas is greatly increased by
news which has recently reached here
from the Venezuelan capital regarding
the attitude President Castro now APP
pears TO be assuming toward Mr.. Rus
sell. the American minister.
Unless this attitude is radically mod
flied it nay be necessary to dispatch
an American warship even nearer the
Venezuelan coast than has already
been planned. President Castro will be
given to understand that the treatment
given to NJ. Taigny will not be toler-
ated by the Washington government.
The only cause which can be as
| signed here for President Castro's cool
ness toward Mr.. Russell is that the for
mer insists upon regarding as personal
rather than official the efforts which
Mr.. Russell. acting under instructions
from Washington, has made TO assist
a peaceful settlement of the Franco
Venezuelan troubles. The request of
the French government that its inter
ests in Venezuela be looked after by
Mr.. Russell was Immediately granted
for the reason that such a request is
invariably granted by a friendly power,
however difficult the task.
1t now appears that three important
dispatches containing Instructions for
VI. Taigny never reached him. and the
Supposition is that they were intercept
ed by the Venezuelan government.
This is regarded as a very serious
phase of the situation and will be thor
oughly investigated by Mr.. Russell.

FRIGHT FOR
JAP N ESE
Governor of Philippines First
Ambas:atnr to Japan Judge
NEHas to Manila.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Luke L.
Wright, philippines governor general,
was named by the president as the first
American ambassador to Japan. In
accepting the new appointment Gov
ernor General Wright sacrifices $4,000
a year id compensation. 1t is believed
that congress- will accept the recon-
mendation of Secretary Root, that i'll
connection with Inc elevation of the
American legation at Tokyo to the
rank of an embassy the compensation
of the incumbent be raised from $12,-
600 to Nj, 800, but as Governor Cen
eral virgins present salary is $20.500
he will stiff be suffering a considerable
financial ID s.
Mr.. Wrik'N married the daughter of
Admiral Raphael Semmes of the Con-
federate navy. He had three sons in
active service during the Spanish war.
The following announcement was
made at the wal department:
Judge Ide, now vice governor of the
Philippine Islands, has asked to be re-
lieved from further duty on the list of
June next. after six years of faithful
and efficient service as commissioner
and vice governor in these islands. The
president considers that he is entitled
TO the dignity and honor of the govern
or generalship during that period. Up
on Governor Ide's retirement General
James f. Smith, now Il member of the
commission and former justice of the
Philippine supreme court, will succeed
him, and General Smiths name will be
sent to the senate after the contirma-
ton of Governor Ide."
1t is reported that the japanese gov
eminent has indicated its willingness
to accept General Wright as ambassa-
dor, and his appointment to the new
post shortly will go to the senate.
There are rumors that Japan has
made some overtures to the American
government that the mikado would like
to discuss the possibility of securing
the Philippines, for a substantial re-
Enumeration. as a part of the mikado's
plan to become the dominating world
power in the orient.
How this idea will be received by
the American people it is open to indi-
vidual opinion to determine. 1t may
develop that this idea will not be ac-
ceptable or popular.
When the fact is considered that the
United States paid 500. 000,0 900 to Spain
for the Philippines it is not reasonable
to suppose that the administration in
tends to dispose of them without some
very substantial recompense.

Hawaii people in San Francisco and

right. After that he would consult with
