ARRIVAL EAWAITED
DE REUs EXPECTED IN HOLLAND
 NEXT MONDAY.
Hollands Action Against vemezneIa Wiil Depend Largely Upon the Reports of De geeus to
 His Government.

The Hague. Aug. 21.--HoIlandfs ae- tion against Venezuela and the text of her note to President Castro will depend largely upon the reports that Dc Reus, formerly Dutch Minister to Venezuela, who recently was expelled by President Castro. makes to the Cow ernment. He is expected Co arrive here next Monday. M. Van swindefne, Min ister of Foreign Affairs, will consult with NJ De Reus before the Govern. ment takes further steps In the mat ter. The ex-Minister's arrival is sag- erly awaited here.
 The press and the public of The Netherlands take the Venezuelan affair most calmly Naval ofncers are most interested in it and express pleasure at the possibility of seeing active ser- vice.
 The Government. however. thinks there is yet a chance that the dIfficul- ty may be patched up by diplomacy. A blockade of the Venezuelan coast. | if 1t is undertaken. will not be begun for some time because the adoption of punitive measures will depend up- on tha tenor of President Castro's rec ply to Hollands representations.
 France won't Interfere.
 Tjs Hague. Aug. 21.-Although France is watching with interest the develouments of the Holland -Venezue- Ian situation on account of her own troubles with the South American re- public, 1t can be said authoritativeiy that she does not intend to mix in any way in the present controversy, If the United States. as the recognized corrector of Venezuela. has transferred the boyer of punishment to Holland. Holland Is quite capable of. acting. and France will be a sympathetic specta- tor.
 There is some convictian here In we'll informed circles that 1t would be un- wise for Holland to land troops In Venezuela, as this action would im- mediately be the signal for patriotism and result in the uniting of the Cas- troites and those who oppose Castro for the defense of the country. It is believed an eRective blockade would be more potent and successful.

Not at all dismayed by the calamitous
career of the Honerine Mining company
the management of the Honerine Exten-
sion company. which owns a great block
or ground adjoining the Honerine pos
sessions on the east, has decided that
work shall be resumed on its property
without delay. At a recent meeting OF

authorized TO advise the shareholders
That II was the purpose TO advance the
drlit from the 60O-fOOt level of the Hone
fine company's property, through which
the Extension company has acquired the
privilege of operating, a distance of 30

point, or within the distance named, it
IS expected that d strong north and south
insure that was productive of much fine
ore in old upper levels will be tapped
and which, it is believed, will develop a
body of good ore on the level now head
ed in that direction.

day, which Is estimated TO be s, 800 the
