DUTCH CAPTURE
VENEZUELAN SHIP
President Castro Now Has a Good
Excuse for War With Holland
if He so Desires.
Cruiser Gelderland Gathers in the
Guardship Alix, No Resistance Be-
ing Made by Venezuelans-
Other Captures Expected.

Willemstad Curacao.-The Dutch
cruiser Gelderland came into this port
Sunday morning towing the Nene'
zuelan coast guardship Alix. with tho
Dutch flag flying and Dutch crew
on board. The Gelderland captured
the Alix off Puerto Cabello on Satur'
day. At that time the AliX was lying
close in shore, and, Notwithstanding
the threat which the Venezuelan gov
eminent had made to fire upon any o.
the Dutch warships committing a hos
tile act, the Gelderland steamed al
full speed toward the guardship and
sent an officer and guard in launch
TO seize her. This they did without
resistance, the Gelderland finally TAX
ing the Alix in tow and steamins
away with her prize.
The seizure of the Allx was In &C.
cordance with the plans Of the Hol
land government when instructions
were issued to the three Dutch war
ships now in those waters to make a
demonstration off the coast Of VeBe
zuela and to capture any Venezuelan
ships of war or guard vessels that
they might find. The arrival of the
Celderland at Willemstad Sunday
morning was greeted with unbounded
enthusiasm by those who noticed the
cruisers approach and soon the entire
population was down to the waters
edge to welcome the return of the
Gelderland, towing the first of the
enemy's ships, as though from great
conquest.
Naturally. the people of Curacao
who have been long clamoring for &C
tjvity on the part of the Dutch govern
ment, are greatly reioiced over this
evidence that Holland has at last be
gun active measures against Vene
Zuel; but the governor of Curacao
discr ,ed the incident as follows:
"Tl capture by our warships OF
coast guard and war vessels Is not &c
be considered an unfriendly act
against the Venezuelans. It Is merely
Il reprisal against Castro's govern
nent, which refuses to give satisfac
ton for his unfrjendly acts toward
Holland. The seizure of these YES
sells will make It impossible for the
Venezuelan government TO carry
troops or ammunition to and from
the various ports"

Bismarck, N. D.-The wreck OF the

Mackenzie. twenty miles east of here,
may be considered one OF the most
fortunate in the annals of railroading,
according to railroad men. The fact
that almost an entire train, going at
the rate of fifty miles an hour, con
tanning more than 200 persons, could
turn over and go down a ten.foot en-
bankment without killing anybody is
marvellous. A Seattle preacher was
thrown out of his berth in his night
