Willemstad, Island of Curacoa.-A

president Castro is busily engaged
In enlisting throughout the republic
and in other ways preparing for war.
Generals in each state have been com
missioned and orders have been given
to call the recruits to the colors.
Information from the best sources
indicates that the people do not sup
port President Castro. On all sides
are heard expressions of desire to
revolt and overthrow the presidents

blockade Is declared

me that the troops will desert their

the only ports capable of making a
slight defense. The former has two
modern six-inch guns and the latter
has four modern six-inch guns, with
the usual display of old Spanish pieces
which would be blown to pieces at the
first shots.
ut is doubted whether President
Castro can raise more than 10000 men
who will take the field with any show
of spirit. The men are armed with
Mauser rifles. but they never practice
shooting. They have twenty million
rounds of ball cartridges and few
mountain guns The Venezuelan navy
consists of five small craft concentrate

District Attorney Jerome, however

which we have every reason to believe
will pay dividends.

been adopted. 1t is the only practical
one that has presented itself and which
protects each subscriber The estimates
of earnings and expenses have been care

The CITIZENS RAILWAY COMMITTEE,
CENTRAL CITY, COLORADO.
Gilpin observer., 1906-03-08

CENTRAL CRY, Colo, Feb. %, 1906.
DEAR SIR:
This committee was appointed at a
Citizens meeting held Feb. s, 1906, in
this city to raise the sum Of $4,000 for
the purpose of assisting in the construc-
ton of railroad between Pactolus,
Central City and other Gilpin county
towns. AS it is impossible under the
constitution of the state to raise the
amount by taxation, it must be done by
! the personal subscriptions Of Mine Own
ers, Business men and Citizens. This
aid required is not gift, but is in the
shane of an investment for about eight
cen months.
The necessity of another railroad into
this district is so strongly felt by every
one, that we believe it is unnecessary for
the committee to dwell upon this point
to any great length. The saving to the
county annually will amount to more
than the sum required, besides the build
ing of the road will stimulate business,
give employment to more men in our
mines, bring in new capital and increase
the price of real estate.
1t will open up facilities for obtaining
plenty of pure water for milling purposes,
besides cheap transportation Of ore and
coal which will be the means of opening
up many OF our idle mines, as well as in
creasiDg the output of those now in op-
Grafton.
For these and many other reasons we
appeal to all public spirited citizens to
make liberal subscriptions to The Hall
Construction Company stock. There is
given us an opportunity of getting a
standard gauge railroad which the CON-
munity has long sought. Lot each indi-
vidual therefore come forward an6 con-
tribute his share. The money subscribed
will be returned with profit when the
road is completed and the bonds sold.

mo YELLOW FEVER IN HAVANA
Cuban Sanitary Officer Declares the New
York Quarantine Needless.

Havana, June 19.--Dr. Barnet, chief
sanitary executive, says there is no
yellow fever here, the last case having
occurred on June ). The patient is now
convalescent. Every care Is taken to
safeguard Havana against infection from
the Bolondron district, where two or
three cases Of the disease have occurred.
All non-immunes arriving at Havana
from Bolondron are kept under inspec-
ton for five days or are sent to the
detention camp. All private practition-
ers must report an case of yellow fever
coming under their observation. DR..
Barnet feels absolutely sure that not
d physician would fail to do this. Con
sequently it is extremely unlikely that
any yellow fever exists in Havana at
present. DIR. Barnet considers the quar-
antine established at New York as legal
but unnecessary. 1t was surprise
to the Cubans. 1t Is believed that the
action of the New York authorities was
due to the pessimistic attitude of DR..
Won Ezdorf, the United States marine
hospital representative at Havana, who
long has predicted yellow fever epidem-
les I'M Cuba, and contended that Southern
state guarantees would be ineffective
so long as there was possibility of
infected passengers from Cuba reaching
the South by way Of New York within
five days.
