Against Roosevelt and
Root Inspire Anger
Administration Withheld
From Taking Drastic
Measures With Vene-
zuela by ignorance OF
People Of Situation.

Washington, April S.-A decided
ment circles over the Venezuelan sit.
uation. President Castro's attitude Of
resistance to the proposal Of Secre-
tary Root for the submission of pend.
ing American claims to arbitration
brought vexation to the Washington
administration, but this has given way
to real anger since the publication OF
inspired articles in Caracas newspa-
pers critlcizlng President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root.
The government in It's present mood
would be glad OF the opportunity TO
use drastic measures against Vene.
zuela but 1t feels that It would be
unwise to make any radical move
without the support OF popular opin.
ion. Unfortunately for the govern.
ment's purpose, the Venezuelan stu.
alton is little understood by the Amer
lean people and there has been NO
general expression Of sentiment TO In
dicate whether policy Of coercion
against the South American republic
would or would not meet with wide
spread appreciation.
Until there Is such expression OF
popular feeling and II is directed
against Venezuela, the administration
will make no move. That much has
heen made clear TO the members OF
the senate committee on foreign rela-
tons most OF whom are OF the opinion
that any other course would be indis-
Greet. But how to arouse public sen.
timent has not been determined. The
first step In the program was the

correspondence In the five |
cases at issue, but this was so vol. |
luminous and the controversies In.
yolved so complicated that an ade.
luate presentation OF the position of
the United States could not be set
'orth in the press In a way that would
be easily understood by newspaper
As result the Venezuelan
attracted little atten-
ion.
Another prospective embarrassment
lies in the fact that one Of the Ameri-
an claimants against Venezuela IS
he Asphalt trust. Some doubt as TO

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

The year 1907 has been one of marked
and notable advancement in the life OF
the Augusta City Hospital. &ot only
has ii witnessed the construction OF
the J. Manchester Haynes Nurses
Home, one of the most artistic and
convenient buildings Of its kind in the
country. but it has also covered
large part Of the work involved in the
erection Of 4 central heating plant and
laundry room. The work on both
these buildings Is now we'll advanced.
Hanks 4 Wentworth have the con-
tract for building the nurses home, and
II. II. Clark & Son the contract for
building the boiler and laundry house.
The nurses home should be ready for
occupancy in the early spring. The
boiler house is made of concrete up to
about two feet above the ground. From
that point it Is carried up another
story In brick, providing q room above
the basement which Will be available
for laundry whenever the Directors
may deem II advisable to establish one.
It has q roof similar In style to the one
on the nurses home, and, like 1t, is
covered with slate, atTording an addi-
tonal safeguard against fire, which
must always be an important consider
alton in hospital construction.
The boiler room is in the basement CT
this building and the work OF installing
the new heating system is now in prog
ress by the contractors. the Fairbanks
Company of Bangor. A fine IS horse

Iron Works Of Cambridge. Mass, is
now in place. from which steam will be

made of split tile and absolutely tight.
This boiler has been set low enough
to ENABLE the return water to come
back by gravity. The carriage house,
for the use Of members of the staff,
mas been moved to St. Catherine stree;,
and provided with electric lights. The
system of electric lights in the Hos
pital has also teen largely extended.
practically doing away with the use of
gas. and adding materially to the safety
ard sanitation of the building.
A 90 iEch tile sewer with catch basin
has been laid from st. Catherine street
$50 feet down the small ravin1 on the
south side of the Hospital, thus insur-
ing ample drainage for all surface
water on this portion OF the grounds.
The year 1907 is also notable in the
life OF the Augusta City Hospital from
the fact that. during the twelve months.
it afforded care and treatment to a
greater number Of patients than during
any similar period IT its history. The
total number for the year was 314 of
whom 1874 were on the Surgical sidn.
108 on the Medical side. and IL in the
Eye and Ear department. The largest
number of patients treated in any pre-
vious year was 2S5. There were eigk-
teen deaths during the year. eleven on
the Medical side and seven on the Sur
gical side. Two of the deaths on the
Medical side were brought to the Hos
pital in q dying condition, living less
than an hour and a half in each in
stance after reaching there. and two Of
the deaths on the Surgical side were
fatal accident cases In which there
was no chance of recovery. In view OF
these facts, and the desperate character

In making an index Of the vital sta
tistics Of the city, which work will
cover quito a period of years back Of
the present time, City Clerk Newbert
finds that in the majority of cases in
the certificates of birth the name of
the child has been omitted. which fact
makes the record of the birth incom-
plete. This name of the child Is as es-
sential in the record of the birth as
are the other details. and in order to
secure a complete record the city clerk
is sending out postals to those parties
to- whom children have been born and
the birth recorded without the name
of the child having been filled in. with
the request that the matter be given
prompt attention. On the return Of the
child's full name, with u fee Of 25

yesterday forenoon to resume the
search for the body OF the late Max
Card of that town who was drowned
while skating on the Kennebec river
last Saturday morning. Mr.. Nicholas
has searched the bottom of the river
from the point where the young man
went through the ice down river about
half mile, but up to yesterday his
search had been fruitless. The
current is very strong at that point
and Mr.. Nicholas expressed the
opinion that the body might have been
carried long distance from the
place where the drowning occurred.
Up to Wednesday morning there was
n great deal of open water along that
part of the river where the work of
searching has been in progress.
