new GOVERNMENT
in VENEZUELA
PRESIDENT. CASTRO DOWN AND
OUT AND GOMEZ Is IN
FULL CONTROL


Sensational news has come from
Venezuela. According to dispatches
coming by way of willemstad, Cura.
Gao, conspiracy having for its object
the assassination OF Acting President
Gomez and other prominent men was
frustrated by Gomez, who himself ar
rested the brother OF President Cos
tro, who was in command of a muffin
Gus regiment, and one Torres-Car
densa, former Minister of the Int.
rior. Information as to the plot reach.
ed Gomez on Friday night, and he
made the arrests early on Saturday
morning, following them up later with
the apprehension of others accused Of
completely in the plot. On Sunday
Gomez Issued a proclamation setting
forth in general terms the facts above
mentioned and announcing his inten.
ton to enforce the constitutional guar
antees. to respect the autonomy II the
various states OF the Venezuelan re-
public, to protect local industries
against manipulation, to find a de-
corous and pacific solution of inter
national disputes, to live at peace and
with harmony at home and abroad,
and to permit the law alone to hold
undisputed sovereignty throughout the
land.
In this same document the Acting
President announced that he had CON
stituted Cabinet representing the
public opinion of Venezuela. 1t ap-
pears that this change of ministry was
effected after the arrival in Caracas
of 1,5OO soldiers from the interior who
were counted upon as loyal to the new
chief Of the state There is said to be
considerable military activity, stimu.
lated by t:le belief that there may be
a struggle between the troops sup
porting Gomez and others thought to
be loyal to Castro. Advices from Car.
acas Indicate that the new Cabinet
appoIntees are men OF ability and re.
pute. The Minister OF the Interior has
issued a proclamation addressed to
the governors Of the federal district
and federal territories in which, after
announcing the liberation of all citi-
zens in prison for political causes. he
says that each state will dispose of a
s;'nre of It's income according to the
ann;4titution; That the government
will study economic questions, agrl-
culture and cattle breeding and give
particular attention to venezuela's
credit AS regards public contracts,
Minister Alcantara declares that they
must be re-established on the basis OF
constant and reciprocal good faith.
Venezuela, ne adds, wishes for frank
and continuous friendship with all civ
iltzed nations, and must try to come to
cine definite conclusion with regard to
questions now at issue, always, how
ever, consulting the dignity OF the
nation and its inallenable rights.
An indication OF the conciiiatSry
temper of the new government is
found in the revocation by it of the
decree issued by, President Castro on
May II last, probitIng the transshlp-
ment at Willemstad, in Curacao. Of
goods destined for Venezuelan ports.
This seems to have been the chief
point OF disagreement between HoI-
land and the South American republic,
and the formal withdrawal of the de-.

Mcdowell MUSIC

Art Society and Orchestra
Combine in Benefit for
Composers Family.

The Musical Art Society and the Bos-
ton Festival Orchestra united yester-
day In a concert at the Columbia. Thea
ter when the works OF Edward Mac
DowoH, the foremost native composer
America has ever known, were given.
The sGciety was under the direction
of Herndon MorseH and Emil Mollen-
haue- directed the work Of the orches-
ira me concert was a testimonial to
Che late composer and the receipts will
be turned over to the Edward Mac
DoWel Memorial Fund designed as a
means OF support to Mrs MacDowelI
and the maintenance Of the composers
home in New Hampshire.
Singing a Feature.
Rarely has the Musical Art Society
sung better. It's membership, composed
OF soloists from the choirs Of Wash
ington, fully appreciated the delightful
opportunities offered in the Choruses
on the program and also the signifi-
canoe of the occasion. The Dance OF
the Gnomes' and the Cradle Song"
were particularly effective. The Swan
Bent Low to the Lily" was another
striking feature Of the chorus group.
The Indian Suite" probably one Of
the best-known works OF Mcdowell,
found special favor. It's unique themes
were pTettily work ed out by the orches-
ira. Another number in which Mr
Mollenhauer and the visiting players
were most effective was the A minor
suite
Accompaniment Conspicuous.
In the accompaniment to the cello
solo by Carl Webster. the Romance"
the orchestra was again conspicuous.
Mr.. Webster's reading OF the number
was most enjoyable.
Many Of the numbers had been heard
but rarely In Washington. and their
presentation under such suspicious cir
cumstanees was notable. The concert
was genuine treat not only for the
lovers Of MacDoWeiTs works, but for
musicians generally and will undoubt-
eddy be the means Of perpetuating many
c. the celebrated composers writings.

Fight Against Dread Diseases
Favored by Senate Committee
Believed Senator Daniels Bill Calling for Investi-
cation of tuberculosis, Typhoid, and Rabies,
Will Be Passed by Large Vote.

The Senate Committee or Public Health
and National Quarantine. through Sen
atOr Daniel. its chairman, has made a
favorable report to the Senate on a bill
that is expected If enacted TO afford
better protection OF the public health,
and provide for the inv astigation OF dis
eases. the diffusion OF the information
thus obtained and the cooperation of
the Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service with the State and municipal
health authorities for the suppression
of diseases.
1t is the belief Of the committee that
the bill in question viii make the coun-
trys public health service much more
efficient and will so far to check the
spread OF various diseases. One method
OF doing this Is through special lnvcsti-
cations into the prevalence OF tubercu-
lcsis. typhoid fever. rabies. and other
diseases. 1t is proposed TO bring about
special study Of the conditions ravoring
their propagation and spread and the
methods necessary for their suppression.
Il is considered of much Importance
that Knowledge of the geographical dis
tribution Of these diseases should be ex-
tended. that their modes OF propagation
be determined. and that the people be
informed OF the measures necessary TO
their prevention.
Cost Of Nation.
That more thorough protection of the
public health is economically important
is shown by the fact. the committee
says. that the losses caused by tubercu-
losis alone cost the country, on a con-
servative estimate $500 000, COO annually.
It Is cOnservatively estimated that in
the Urited States alone Isl. coo persons
Gle annually Of tuberculosis, a prevent
able ard durable disease. That il Is
durable IS proven by the fact that in
the fiscal year 1907, 101 recovered cases
were discharged from the United States
Marine Hospital Sanitarium az Fort
Stanton. y. NJ
Thorough investigations in typhoid
fever are also strongly urged by the
committee In its report 10 says these
investigations should be extended 10
ether places than the District Of Co
lumbla in order that the proper author
itles may institute scientific measures
Tor It's control As showing the neCes-
sity for d broader national understand
ing OF this disease, 1t IS pointed out
that the past summer one passenger
vessel IN interstate traffic on the great
lakes discharged a large nnmber OF
cases of typhoid fever at the different
ports OF cali. il is estimat ted that sew
euty-seven cases We're contracted on
this vessel.
To Investigate Rabies.
Rabies is another disease that is look
ed on a S demanding more careful inves-
LEGATION. knowledge Of the exact geo
graphical distribution of the disease
would be Of much value to the medical
profession.
The hOOawOrm malady, which ls Of

OF much danger in the localities where
IL prevails, and which is the cause Of
heavy economic losses. is another dis
ease which the committee specially men
lions as needing investigator.
Cooperation between the General
Government and the States Is also
needed ia order TO get more complete
and reliable mortality statistics. Nari-
Gus sanitary problems could also De
handled much more effectively by such
cooperation. one part OF the plan, as
embodied in the bill. IS the distribution
widely 10 the public OF plain, simple,
sanitary bulletins. dealing with dis
eases their nature, how to prevent
them, how TO treat them, and the Ike;
In other words, il Is proposed 10 send
the whole country to school In all sub
Jects relating 10 disease, hygiene, ana
sanitation.
School of Hygiene
school Of hygiene in the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service. This is
intended 70 give advanced instruction to
officers Of the service, and TO anord
advantages that can be extended 10
health officers properly accredited by
state and Territorial health boards. Il
is intended 20 extend all the facilities
Of the service 10 state and local health
officials. Another provision OF the
measure IS for the establishment In the
bureau OF a division for the conside-a-
ton OF questions relating 10 water sup
plies and sewage disposal, This Is
deemed Important because OF the fact
that the da5- ser5 of pollution OF inter-
state streams are being augmented.
Special Conferences.
Provision IS made for special confer
ences between Federal and State au-
thorities. such conferences MAJ be
called, according to the bill. and consist
Of one delegate each from the health
authorities OF not more than FIVE States.
The present outbreak OF bubonic plague
in California has shown the necd OF
conferences between the public health
service and the authorities OF a few
States. such conferences will tend, IN
case OF epidemiCs, 10 the adoption OF
uniform measures for their suppression.
According TO the committee, the en-
actInent of the bill will result IN placing
the supervision OF the public health
IN the United STATES on a higher plane
and in conformity with the enlightened
nations with whom We have an interna-
tional sanitary agreement
