of the situation, saying that President

France, it was further pointed out,
has exhibited wonderful patience, but
is now driven to eXtremities
The French Gable company officials
say that they received confirmation
this morning of the reports that the
managers of the company at Caracas
and La Guayra have also been expelled
from Venezuela. The company has
about ten other managers in charge
of different offices in Venezuela and
momentarily expects to hear that they
have been expelled. The officials of
the company have brought the matter
before the government, which has not
yet announced what steps have been
taken in the matter but it is believed
the United States will be asked to eX-
tend it's representation to these man
ayers.
In the meanwhile M. Marlborough,
the Venezuelan charge d'affaires here,
has received an intimation to leave
French territory, thus placing him per-
sonally in an awkward position owing
to his private commercial relations
with France, and it is also believed
that he retains his French citizenship,
which would make him liable to mill

not yet been finally decided NJ Rou

Of gravity, as official notification was
given to President Castro few days
before by the American minister Mr.
Russell, that diplomatic relations be
tween France and Venezuela had
ceased to exist.

ished at Harvard, pending a reform in
the game that will be acceptable to
the board of overseers, according to an

FOR A LOCK CANAL.
President Preparing Message on the
Subject.

SuOJeCI.
WASHINGTON President Roose-
welt is preparing to send to congress a
message which will favor lock canal.
He had conferences with several SEN
ate members of the inter-oceanic canal
committee, including Senators Lodge,
Dryden, Hopkins and Ankeny. The
committee has in its possession an ad-
vance copy of the report furnished by
the president for use in examining
Chief Engineer Stevens when he APP
pears before the committee tomorrow
at the opening of the investigation or
dered by the senate. This report con-
.tains the views expressed by the con-
sulting board of engineers, together
with their amendments made since,
and to which General Davis is now
getting their endorsement. The mes
sage of the president will favor the
construction of lock canal, on the
ground that 1t is in the interest of the
present generation and not for poster
ity, and that it can be built at less
cost of time and money. 1t is said the
president incidentally asked the repub-
lican members of the committee to
support the nomination of Joseph b.
Bishop to be member of the canal
commission and to use every effort to
prevent indiscrminate reductions of
the salaries of canal officials, which he
fears may be the result of the investi-
cation.
Taft Before Committee.
Secretary Taft was summoned be-
fore the subcommittee to make ex-
plantations concerning estimates for
canal expenses included in additional
appropriations of $5,500,000 sought in
order to continue the canal work until
the end of the present fiscal year on
June 80. Secretary Taft was accompa-
MED by Chairman Shonts of the 18TH
milan Canal commission, Chief Engi-
neer Stevens, e. S. Benson. general
aud David w. Ross, the general pur-
chasing agent of the commission.
Representative Tawney chairman of
the appropriations committee, and
other members of the deficiency sub
committee, said after the hearing that
they were convinced the estimates of
the secretary of war and his assistants
have been made with great care. Mr..
Tawney also said the review of the
canal organization shows it is much
more perfect than many other
branches of the government and is
more economically administered. There
is little disposition among the mem
bers of the subcommittee to shave the
estimates, which the committee regard
as very moderate
Additional data will be supplied to
the subcommittee by the War depart
ment tomorrow, but it is not likely
that Secretary Taft will be asked to
appear again.
