The Hague, Aug 29.--The Holland
Venezuela controversy is fast ap-
preaching a climax. The demand of
President Castro that Holland apollo
gize is almost an ultimatum and it is
thought that Holland will take action
at once. Holland is in very pecu-
liar situation. Unless the Monroe
doctrine should be suspended by the
United States, Holland will be power
less in attempting an invasion of Ven
ezuela on land and as Castro has no
navy she would not be able to meet
him on the sea. One report recently
issued, after a prolonged conference,
is to the effect that Holland will
blockade the Venezuela ports and feels
confident that in this manner Castro
can soon be brought to terms There
is no harder country in the world to
deal with than Venezuela. Castro has
many friends who claim he is a second
Diaz and is as able a ruler as the
worthy president Of Mexico has prov
en- himself. But the fact remains that
the United states. Holland a-.d in fact

Price Of Hard Coal VIII Not
Advance
LARGE SUPPLIES ON DOCKS
TRADE IN FUEL DURING SUM-
MER MONTHS HAS BEEN VERY
LIGHT IN TWIN cITIEs-MovE-
MENT OF GRAIN WILL HINDER
RAILROADS.

st. Paul. Aug. 2e.--Aside from the
usual increase Of 10 cents per ton on
hard coal, local dealers say there will
be no raise in prices on Sept l. The
increase OF i0 cents on hard coal is
the usual winter raise and dealers say
there will be no further increase on
that kind during the year.
1t Is possible though that there may
be an increase in soft coal later in
the season. Fuel companies have
large supplies on their docks and the
railroads now have plenty of equip
ment to handle any orders that may
be placed, but it is feared that later
in the season, when cars are being
used to handle the crops that large
orders for coal will be placed and that
the railroads will be unable to supply
adequate equipment.
Trade in coal this summer has been
very light. The fear was expressed
yesterday that consumers would wait
until cold weather set in and then
make rush orders. The coal COM
panies would be able to handle this
situation II the railroads could fur.
nish the cars. but II is pointed out
that there is danger OF rush orders
for coal coming In at time that the
railroads are tied up moving crops.

Nave found 1t impossible to get any
satisfaction through legal process. The
country is in chaotic condition. Men
who are well posted on Venezuelan
affairs claim that Castro Is surround

many of the most worthy citizens OF
Venezuela for no apparent cause what
ever except that they happen to disa

The suffering and disease in these un-

death to every man there. SO severe
has been his rule that today, while he

because of his ability, but rather be-
cause of his drastic methods, which

1t is very doubtful IL the United
