SIR VINCENT LEAVES
CRISIS IS GRADUALLY COMING IN
 VENEZUELA.
Castro Seeks Aid of England and Ger many-Unfted states May Take Advantage 0f
 RIockade.

Caracas, Venezuela, Saturday, Sept. 5 The sudden departure for Trinidad of Sir Vincent Corbett. British Minister resident at Caracas. is an event to which the greatest importance has been attached in this capital, because 1t immediately followed the meeting between President Castro and this di- plomat at Barquisimeto two weeks ago.
 unusual distinction of being invited by General Castro to accompany him on his gunboat Restaurador, the Minister did not accept, but followed closely af- ter in a little steamer belonging to the Bolivia Railroad Company, British corporation, which owns the railroad between the port of Tucas md the in- terior city of Barouisimeto.
 It Is generally believed in Caracas that the war-llke preparations of Hol- land, with the conseque danger to Great Britain md Germany, that any use of force would finally result in q re- adjustment of the Parliament of venezuela's foreign obligations. has brought these two nation together in common interest to preserve the status quo in Venezuela.
 It is assured that Baron von Seek endorf. the German Minister. who Is In charge of Duthch interests. will do everything possible to avoid the ne- cessity of Holland making e of the warships which are hurriedly being sent to Venezuelan waters.
 It is the payment of the $25,oo0,O09 of German English bonded indebted ness which tie Germany and England together today in a common interest. Now under Castro, the interest is be- Ing punctually paid and sixty per cent of all the customs receipts outside of LaGuayara and Puerto Cabello are ertta ra of this V- ment. This mortgage of the custom house will last for twenty-two years longer, under the agreement now in eorce.
 1t is feared that if Holland estab- fishes a blockade the United States will take advantage of the opportunity to insist on a re-adjustment of that bonded debt so as not to shut out the possibility of the American Govern ment not being able to collect any money for alleged wrongs done to American corporations in Venezuela.
 The few diplomats remaining here cannot see how Holland can pretend tc demand anything from President Cas- tro to alleviate the condition of Curaco unless the Netherlands Government first makes all necessary amends for the affronts to Venezuela.
 President Castro already has Cor many's moral support in the present crisis. It is believed negotiations are under way to secure the iupport os Great Britain also, but this Is more difficult, as General Castro would have to promise to settle In a satisfactory way the several matters already pend ing between Castros government and English corporations.
 It was to communicate with his gov ernment on these matters that Sir Vincent Corbett went to Trinidad.

 MT. Chanler introduced Governor Hughes, who spoke on the achieve ments of the State Fair, and paid high compliment to the members of the State Fair Commission.
 The Lieutenant-Govern afterwards expressed his thanks to the Governor.
 Governor Hughes. MT. Chanler and other distinguished guests were enter tained at luncheon in the Fair grounds and afterwards made a tour of inspec- tion of the principal buildings and ex- hibits.
 Late In the afternoon the Governor addressed the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution, and then he and MT. Chanler. after a banquet at the Gen. tury Club, reviewed the fraternal car nival parade. one of the picturesque features of the fair week.

If the President Gets Into Campaign Actively Judge Alton Parker VIII Give Him Some Hot
 Shot.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 17-tSpe- cial. )-The talk Is getting stronger here that in spite of Loebs Oyster Bay denials, backed up by Chairman Hitch cock, of the National Republican Com mittee, Presto mt Roosevelt will feel compelled to take the stump for Can didate Taft next month.
 Several well known Democrats just over from New York say that the party leaders over there are fairly aching to have Roosevelt go on speaking tour. They declare that if he does, Judge Parker will answer him in way that will prove sensational in the extreme.
 Judge Parker, it Is asserted. has some information he did not make pub lie four years ago. but there Is no im- propriety in springlng this year, cer- tain proofs he is said to have to sub. stantiate his charges with reference to the conduct of the last Presidential campaign.
