ORDERS CASTRONOT TO ENTER FRANCE Cabinet Decides Venezuelan Must Apologize for Way in
 Which He Haunted
 France.
SIGNAL REDRESS DEMANDED
President Cannot Disembark Without Formal Apology Unless Ill., ness Positively De-
 nlnnds 1t.

Paris, Dec. 6-Tf President Castro of Venezuela. comes to Bordeaux, he will not he allowed to set foot on French soil until after he has offered formal apology for the fashion in which he has Haunted France. This decision was arrived at hy the cabinet at It's meet ing yesterday, but 1t was kept q se- cret for two reasons;
 First, because 1t was suspected that Castro would disembark at santander, spain, and second, because his physical condition may he such that humanitari- an motives might render immediate care at hospital imperative But should he arrive at Bordeaux and his Illness not be serious, the cabinet has determined that some signal redress must be eyactcd from the Venezuelan president for his ignominious expulsion of NJ Taigny, the French charge d'af. faires from that country in January. 1906
 Permission to land, therefore, will he made conditional upon. first the dis patch of an official telegram of apology to the French government and. after that the dispatch of telegraphic in. structions to Caracas for the immediate execution of the arbitral award in the matter of the French claims, which France asserts, castro has ignored
 Dr. Domingo Castillo. the Venezuelan consul general at Hamburg and n. Els. calante, consul general at Liverpool, passed through Paris today on their way to sautander, presumably to meet President Castro.

Hot Springs, Va, Dec 6.-The follow Ing correspondence passing between President Roosevelt and William Dud- ley Foulke has been made public by the latter:

 The Prosident-The Indianapolis News, not only during the campaign, but even after its close has been re- peateGly and continually making seri- ous charges against your administra- ton as well as against Mir. Taft in con- necton with the Panama purchase, as for example the following:
 Panama Matter.
 "The campaign Is over, and the peo- pie will have to vote tomorrow with out any official knowledge concerning the Panama canal deal. It has been charged that the United States bought from American citizens for s40,00o.0o0 property that cost those citizens only s20o0.00o. Mir. Taft was secretary of, war at the time the negotiation was closed There Is no doubt that the government paid si0,000,000 for the property. But who got ths money? We are not to know. The administra- ton and Mir. Taft do not think 1t right that the people should know. The Presidents brother-in-law is involved say. The candidates brother has been charged with being member of tho syndicate Flo has 1t is true, denied lt. But he refuses to appeal to the evidence, all of which is in the pos session of the administration and who'll ly inaccessible to outsiders. For weeks this scandal has been before the peo- ric. The records are in Washington and they are public records. But the people are not to sec them-till after election if then"
 Even after the election this has been continued, It being said that Mir Taft's weakness" in Indiana (where he ran many thousands ahead of any other re- publican candidate) was Rle in great measure to this alleged scandal" What arc the facts in regard to 1t? Where are these Inaccessible rec ods?" When did they come Into the possession of the government and what do they contain? If tho statements of tho News arc true our people ought to know It. If not true they ought to have some just means of estimating what credit should he given in other matters to d journal which thus dsseminates falschoods Yours,

Snagboat to Move Dredge.
The Pollard Campbell Dredc

>s>sese ~ ~ AIASOkSs
The Pollard Campbell Dredg-
ing company Of Omaha, which
has recently completed the con-
tract for the construction Of
the Boyer cutoff bitches in this
and Harrison counties, has been
forced to request assistance Of
the government snagboat,
which is at present at Sioux
City, but is expected to come
down the river in a day or two.
The Omaha firms big dredge is
now at the mouth of the Boyer
river drainage ditch and it is
desired to bring it to Omaha.
The dredge weighs about $50
tons, and when tn e man who
had contracted to float it to
Omaha saw its SIZE he backed
out. Mr.. Pollard then endeav-
ored to secure a boat, equipped
with a powerful Gasoline en-
CINE, which plies on the river
above Sioux City to tow the
|dfedge to Omaha, but found
that the boat in question had
no license below Sioux City.
Mr.. Pollard yesterday ex-
pressed confidence that the
government boat from Sioux
City would render the needed
assistance.
A report reached Council
Bluffs late Thursday night that
the dredge with a crew of sew
enteen men on it was marooned
on a sandbar, and that the
dredge was in imminent dang
er of going to pieces at any
m oment, but the report proved
to be without foundation, as
the big machine was safely
moored, and the only cause for
worry was the difficulty of get
ting the dredge safely down
the river. Council Bluffs Bee.
