CASTRO HAS TUMOR.
Venezuelan President is in Very Seri-
Gus Condition.

Bordeaux, France, Nov. 2S.-On
landing here, President Castro, of Ven
ezuela. will go straight to Paris, where
he will enter a hospital in the Rue de
Turin, FIRE quented by patients afflicted
with serious stomach troubles. Friends
of the president say that he is suffering
from tumor of the stomach, compli-
Gated with other gastric disorders.
Reports have reached Bordeaux to
the effect that because diplomatic re-
lations between France and Venezuela
have been broken off, Castro will not
be allowed to land. No confirmation
of these reports is obtainable in official
or maritime circles. There has been a
precedent for such action within the
past 20 years in the case of another
president of a South American repub-
lie, who desired to visit France pri-
vately while there was trouble between
France and his country. However, it
is not believed that the government
now will take any such action.

Marquis Renews Protest.

Constantinople, Dec. 1.-The Austro-
Hungarian ambassador to Turkey,
Marquis Pallavicini, in an interview
with the grand vizier on Saturday re-
newed his protest against the Austrian
boycott instituted by Turkey, and de-
clared that his government could not
wait many more days for solution of
the difficulty. The ambassador stated
that, failing this, it would be neces-
sary for him to proceed to Vienna, and
he limited that his absence might be
prolonged unless the porte remedied
the situation.

in consolidated hearing with 35 de-
PENDANTS. a score of lawyers for the

SECRET TREATY
BECOMES PUBLIC
America and Japan Enter Into Peace.
full Alliance.
Details of Agreement Finally Brought
Out-WiIl Consult Each Other
Will Encourage Free and Peaceful
Development of Trade - Guard
China's interests.

Washington, Nov. 28.-Despite Off
cial ratcence, information from relia-
BILE sources has been obtained of an
agreement of far-reaching Importance
between the United States and Japan,
covering the policies of the two coun-
tries on the Pacific. The agreement is
based on the idea of encouraging and
defending free and peaceful CONNER
cial development on that ocean.
1t contains not only mutual guar
antee to respect one another's terri
torial possessions there, but defines
the attitude of the two countries tow
ard China, binding each to defend by
every peaceable means China's inde-
pendence and integrity and to give
equal commercial opportunity in the
Chinese empire to all nations.
More important still, the agreement,
in the event of complications threaten
ing the status quo, binds the United
States and Japan to consult one an
other with view to acting together.
This agreement has been drawn up
in the form of declaration and con-
lowing is faithful description:
The first article gives expression to
the wish of the two governments to
encourage the free and peaceful devel-
opment of their commerce on the Pa
cifc.
The second is a mutual disclaimer of
an aggressive design, and contains also
a definition of the policy OF each gov
ernment, both as directed to the main
tenance of the existing status quo in
the Pacific and the defense of the peo-
pie of equal opportunity for commerce
and industry in China.
The third article contains a state
ment of the consequent firm reciprocal
resolution of each government to re-
spect the territorial possessions in the
Pacific of the other.
In the fourth article the United
States and Japan express their deter
mination "In the common interest of
all the powers" to support "by all
peaceful means at their disposal" the
independence and integrity of China
and the principle of equal commercial
and industrial opportunity for all ma
tions in the empire.
The fifth article mutually pledges
the two governments, in the case of
the occurrence of any event threaten,
ing the status quo as above described,
or the principle of equal opportunity as
above designed, to communicate with
each other for the purpose of arriving
at an understanding with regard to the
measures they may consider it useful
to take.

San Francisco, Dec. 1.-Twenty-one
out of 116 Chinese held at the Pacific
Mail dock, pending the decision of the

not they were entitled to enter the
United States, escaped from the de-
tention shed at Second and Brannan
streets about II o'clock last night.
Four of them were recaptured in China.
town today and returned to the shed.
immigration officials, the local police
and the officers of the Pacific Mali
Steamship company are prosecuting a
vigorous search for the others.
The Orientals cut the heavy wire
netting over one of the windows, sawed
through two iron bars and slid down
water pipe. A nightwatchman discov-
cred the open windows few minutes
after the Chinese had "landed" with
out the approval of the immigration
officers.
This is the second time that Chinese
have escaped from the rickety old de-
tention shed. Last September four of
them awaiting deportation, sawed
their way to liberty through the roof.
Sensational charges made at the time
by petty officer of the liner Mongol
that Chinese were being landed by the
process of substitution, led to an inves-
tigation, which, however, did not dis
close anything tending to support the
charges.

Ontario-The movement to revive
the Malheur irrigation project is meet
ing with unanimous approval from the
landowners who will come under the
project. At four meetings held within
the past week at schoolhouses in NAL
heur county, practically all the land
owners in the neighboring vicinities
expressed themselves as heartily in
accord with the movement, and signed
petitions which will be presented to
the secretary of the interior, asking
that the government resume the pro-
ject as soon as possible. These four
were held at the Slide Bot
tom, Jefferson, Mesquite and Apple
gate schoolhouses, and the landowners
who have signed the petitions repre-
sent about 200 acres of land which
the owners wish watered. A water

Brick Clay on Coos Bay.

Marshfield- The successful manufac-
ture of brick in Coos county has been
accomplished, and the result of this
feat means much to the builders, who
expect to erect large structures in the
Coos bay cities. A little over year
ago brick delivered at Coos bay cost
$40 to $22 a thousand, and these were
not of very good quality. 1t was al
ways thought that there was plenty Of
clay in the county with which to make
brick, but the supposition was that
there was too much sand in the clay,
and that it could not be made to con-
geal. By the successful experiments
this idea has been exploded, as excel
lent brick are being turned out at sew
eral yards.

AUSTRlA-TURkEY AFFAIR.
Austrian Ambassador Threatens to G

Austrian Ambassador Threatens to &C
Home and Tension is Serious.
London, Dec. IA dispatch to the
Times from Constantinople says that
the tension between Austria and Tur-
key is becoming more serious. The
departure of the Austrian ambassador,
Marquis Pallavicini, will mean the
complete rupture of negotiations. 1t
is difficult to see how this can be avoid
ed by Turkey while Austria maintains
her demand for suppression of the boy
colt by active interference of the
porte. Under the new regime this is
impossible, as even if the government
issued orders to that effect they would
not be obeyed.
The heads of the guilds concerned
have told the grand vizier that the boy
colt will be persisted in so long as Aus
tria perseveres in her present attitude.
A dispatch to the Times from Wen
ma says the emperor's determination to
maintain peace is hopeful sign.
There are rumors that Marquis Palla-
vicini is not likely to leave Constanti-
nople and there is much speculation
the long audience which the
emperor granted today to Count Julius
Andrassy, the Hungarian minister Ct
the interior, in view of the fact that
Count Andrassy was the only Hunga-
rian minister with the courage to op-
pose the policy of the annexation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina and predict
its probable consequences.
