History of trouble.

The situation between Venezuela and the
Netherlands has been strained for some
months. The trouble arose Indirectly from
the expulsion from Caracas Of M. DeReus,
the diplomatic representative of Holland,
but IT had already been rendered acute
by the course Of Venezuela in issuing a
decree on May "A, last, that practically
killed the commerce Of Caracas.
President Castro refused to withdraw
this decree Notwithstanding the fact that
Holland issued an ultimatum that it would
take retaliatory measures unless he took
prompt cognizance Of IT'S demands. Castro
suggested that Holland send a represen-
tative to Caracas 10 confer with him on
his subject, but this the Netherlands gov
eminent declined 10 DO.
Without waiting TO ascertain whether
or not this suggestion would be adopted,
Castro sailed for Europe.
Other incidents that have added to the
i'll feeling have been the stoppage Of Dutch
sailing vessels at sea by the authorities
Of Venezuela and the storming OF the
Venezuelan consulate at Willemstad by q
mob.

No Surprise In washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. B.-whiie no adj
vices, official OF unofficial, nave reached
the State department confirming the As
sociated Press dispatches from willem-
stad regarding the seizure of a Venezuelan
coast guard ship by the Dutch cruiser
Gelderland, the news was received with
interest, though with little surprise in dip
lomatic circles here. Although Holland has
had three or four war vessels at Curacao
or Whereabouts for some time past, no hos
tile act had previously occurred, and there
has been much speculation as 10 Hollands
purpose, Great interest attaches to The
Netherlands governments next move, since
it is apparently Intended to force matters
TO an issue.
For some time there has been talk of a
blockade, but such a proposition might
cause Holland to come in conflict with
Germany, England and other powers for
claims against Venezuela, the payments
of which are pending.
The Stats departments attitude has been
TO let the Venezuelan situation work Itself
out gradually, observing strict neutrality
there, unless the commerce or other in
terests Of this country are interested with
them.

MRS. RUSTIN MAY RETURN
Not Decided when She Went East
whether to Live There
or in Omhha

Though il was understood by many Of
her friends that she intended TO make
her home in Haverhill, Mass, when she
left Omaha last Tuesday, Mrs. Fred Rus
tin, II is known by some of her most
intimate friends, may YET return TO
Omaha with her two little girls and re-
side here permanently.
."She was not decided when she left"
said a friend of Mrs. Rustin last night,
whether TO make her home IN the east
or return to Omaha"
Mrs. Rustin's parents were III when she
left Omaha; her father. in fact. is an In
valid. She Will remain with them some
time at all events and perhaps perma-
nently, though she may continue her res
idence in Omaha
The trial involving the collection of her
husbands i.surance-some t2S, 900 that
was oontestible-wtn probably be taken
up before long and it is supposed her
presence here will be necessary then.
HAVERHILL. Mass. Dec. l3.-Mrs.
Grace Rustin Of Omaha, widow of DR..
Frederick Rustin, whose death led to the
recent trial and acquittal of Charles Z.
Davis on the charge OF murder, arrived
here today with her two children to take
up her home with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. George c. How, at s. Main street.
Mrs. Rustin said:
81 nave formed an opinion of the trial
and of the principal figures in il, Abbie
Rice and Charles Z. Davis. but I don't
believe the public is interested in the at
fair now. Therefore I have nothing to
say about IT."

JOY at Curacao.

Naturally the people Of Curacao, who
have long been clamoring for activity on
the part Of the Dutch government. are
greatly rejoiced over this evidence that
Holland has at last begun active measures
against Venezuela, but the governor OF
Curacao discusses the incident as follows:
The capture by our warships of coast
guards and war vessels Is not TO be con-
sidered an u%nfriendly act against the Ven
zuelans. 1t is merely a reprisal against
Castro's government, which refuses to give
satisfaction for his unfriendly acts toward
Holland. The seizure Of these vessels will
make 1t impossible for the Venezuelan gov
eminent to carry troops or ammunition to
and from the various ports.
"A communication to this effect has been
forwarded by the Dutch government to the
German minister at Caracas"
1t has been learned from the officers Of
the Gelderland that the battleship Jacob
Van Heemskerk and the cruiser Friesland
are now off La Guaira, and that further
captures may be expected at any time.
These vessels left here on Friday, cleared
for action, and it was believed al that
time that the intention was to make a
forcible demonstration at La Guaira. The
opinion is held here that the Venezuelan
government, in the absence of President
Castro, will not go so far as to fire upon
the Dutch warships. which, in view OF the
fact that Venezuela is practically without
a navy, hold the Venezuelan ports at their
mercy.

VENEZUELAN VESSEL TAKEN
Guard Ship Alix Captured by Dutch
Cruiser Of Porto Cabello.
OFFICERS AND CREW PUT ASHORE
Captured Boat f. TOwed 60 Curacao,
Where Incident Causes Great
Enthusiasm Among the
People.

w1LLEMsTAD, Dec. IA TIL Dutch
cruiser. Gelderland. came into this port
yesterday towing the Venezuelan coast
guRrdship. Alix, with the Dutch flag flying
and a Dutch crew on board. The Gelder-
land captured the Alix off Puerto Cabello
on Saturday. At that time the Alix was
lying close IN shore and, notwithst- nding
the threat which the Venezuelan govern
ment had mnde to fire upon any OF the
Dutch warships committing a hostile act,
the Gelderland steamed at speed towards
the guardship and sent an officer and
guard IN a launch TO seize 1t, This they
did without resistance and no shots came
from the forts on land.
The crew OF the Alix was put ashore
and the Dutch officers and marines re-
mained on board, the Gelderland finally
taking the Alix in tow and steaming away
with its prize.
The seizure Of the Altx was in accord
ance with the plans Of the Holland gov
eminent when Instructions were issued to
the three Dutch warships now in these
waters to make a demonstration of the
coast of Venezuela and to capture any
Venezuelan ships Of war or guard vessels
that they might find.
The arrival Of the Gelderland at Will
lemstad this morning was greeted with I'M
bounded enthusiasm by those who noticed
the cruisers approach, and soon the en-
tire population were down TO the waIer's
edge TO welcome the return Of the Gelder-
land. towing the first of the euemy'E
ships, as though from a great conquest
