CASTRO GIVES REASONS

ARBITRATE
United States Hasn't Contra
diCted Notes in Which
He Explained His
Action.
WOULD CONSIDER
The MATTER ENDED
Doesn't Believe the United States
Congress Can Authorize Any
Proceeding ThdtWill Not Con-
form to the Rule of Justice
Among Nations.

Caracas. April 4.-Presidcnt Cas-
tro's official paper, Ell Constitutional,
publishes a part of Nenezuela's an
swer to secretary Roots last note re-
itcratng the secretary's previous de-
mands for the arbitration of the five
American claims. These are the
words of the Venezuelan minister Of
foreign affairs to Minister Russell:
The government of Venezuela re-
fuses for the time being to take under
consideration the insinuation made in
your note because up to now you have
not contradicted the notes of this
ministry of July 9 and September 20,
when treated of the points which
have been the subjects of discussion
and in which the reasons on which
this government then founded its neg
ative were perfectly well defined. In
view of this, the cases in question,
among those which require diplomatic
action, cannot be considered, ana the
government of Venezuela would see
with satisfaction that the United
States would consider this matter ter
minated. The interested parties al
ways have the right of recourse to
the tribunals of justice of the repub-
lie If they deem it convenient
The paper alleges that almost five
years after the claims in question had
been arbitrated, the American gnv-
ernment came TO demand, through It's
minister in Caracas. that two of these
claims shall be newly submitted to ar
bitration. Suggesting. that the useful
ness of the Monroe doctrine will be
destroyed by the present attitude of
the state department. the paper con-
tinues:
I'VE do not believe for a moment
that the United States congress, the
high representation of the nation, can
possibly authorize any proceeding
which viii create a situation contrary
to the rule of justice among nations.
Ii is the duty of every government to
watch over the legitimate and honest
interests of its citizens and save them
from all designing attacks but no seri
Gus government nor any government
which pretends to be just can OF
ought to protect under the flag of the
fatherland the pecuations of adven-
turCrs."
\ serious charge is added against
one of the persons making claim
against Venezuela.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS VISIT WELL

party of twenty-five Albuquer-
que men visited the big gusher at
Suwanee yesterday and were amazed
at what they found there.
The members of the party secured
samples of the water for analysis and
"a number of them prepared plats
for filing upon land in the vicinity.
Every member of the party was
enthusiastic and the statement was
| frequently made that surveyor
should have been taken along in or
der to facilitate locating the lands
Another large party of Albuquer-
que people left today for Su-
! vance and others will go Sunday.
There Is no question but that the
rush to secure land is on and any
one who expects to locate within a
near radius of the well will have to
hurry.
Mr.. Eldrdge treated every one
who came with the greatest courtesy.
He gave them information freely
about the well, about the land and
the general lay and conditions OF the
country.
Those who arrived at his camp af-
ter a long ride on freight train
| were taken to the cook tent and
| given as much as they could eat of
! the best the camp afforded.
The treatment shown the visitors
J by the engineer, who was constantly
| bombarded with questions, was COM
mented upon most favorably by
every one who visited his camp.

that 1t will hnd repetition in this vi
cinity.
At all events, there are two artes-
iau wells here now, both spouting
water sufficient to irrigate good
sized farms, and Mr.. Eldridge says
he can produce the same kind of
wells on every 100 acres at varying
depths over this great valley.
The soil is rich red loan and in
some places it is over $50 feet deep.
1t will grow anything. Native fam
lies in the valley have been raising
patches of corn for years by crude
methods of dry farming and good
native grass grows profusely
If the land were irrigated it would
be immensely productive and could
be placed in cultivation at mini
mum cost.

Suwanec. " NJ, April 4.-(Spc-
ciaD The big artesian well. which
was struck Tuesday at a depth of
only 320 feet, and which is spouting
water two inches over a ten inch
pipe has already resulted in the first
rush of land seekers to this section.
In addition to over thirty people
who were on the ground yesterday,
another delegation arrived here to-
day, some coming on freight trains
and others driving to the scene. All
are locating land-taking up from
forty acres to 500 acres each. Nearly
all the land in the close vicinity to
this section has already been filed up
on and several surveyors are now in
the field locating the cIaims.
j. G. Eldridge, the veteran engi-
neer and expert, who has already
brought in two artesiau wells, is pre-
pairing to move his well drilling out
lit to point three miles further
down the valley where he says he
will bring in another well better than
either of the predecessors.

Good Quality Water.

That the people who have seen the
well, have caught the engineers en-
thusiasm is shown by the large num-
Der of claims taken up in the last
few days. 1t Is understood that sew
eral large parties will reach here
Sunday from Albuquerque and from
points to the south of this place.
The water which is flowing from
the well where Mr.. Eldridge is at
present located, is slightly brackish
in taste and undoubtedly has mineral
properties 1t bubbles from the well
as though it were filled with gas
and has all the appearance or the
charged water coming from a soda
fountain.
Mr.. Eldridge says the water will
irrigate anything and he Is preparing
to place 1000 acres under cultivation
at once.
Moreover. the engineer says, that
after it has been running for a few
weeks, he believes the water will be
much more palatable for domestic
use and will be entirely good enough
ior livestock. In fact, a thirsty ami
NAL would not refuse the water as it
is today. Some Of those who drove to
the well, watcred their horses from
the gusher and the horses drank the
water without hesitation.

the land is going. People familiar
