CASTRO CAN'T LAND IN FRANCE
Must Offer Formal Apology for Way
He Has Haunted France Be.
fore Landing.

Paris, Dec. 8.-rf President Castro
Of Venezuel comes to Bordeaux he
will not be allowed to set foot on
French soil until after he has offered
a formal apology for the fashion in
which he has flaunted France. This
decision was arrived at by the cabi-
net at its meeting Saturday, but it
was kept secret for two reasons
first, because it was suspected that
Castro would disembark at Santander.
Spain, and, second, because his physi-
cal condition may be such that hu.
manitarian motives might render i'm
mediate care at a hospital imperative.
But should he arrive at Bordeaux and
his illness not be serious, the cabinet
has determined that some signal re-
dress must be expected from the
Venezuelan president for his ignomin,
ious expulsion Of M. Taigny, the
French charge d'affaires, from that
country in January, 1906.
Permission to land, therefore, will
be made conditional upon, first, the
dispatch of an official telegram Of
apology to the French government.
and after that the dispatch of tele-
graphic Instructions to Caracas for
the immediate execution of the arbi-
tration award in the matter of the
French claims. which France asserts
Castro has ignored.

with the ;:sesident Saturday.
Department officials who talked on
the subject yesterday said that the
case IVES very plain one and no
court could fail to sustain a bill in
equity when filed by the department.
1t is because of the determination
of the government to proceed at once
with i'c strong hand that the mine
owners and shelters are afraid that
an injunction would either cause
grave and expensive changes in their
ways of doing business, or restrict
their ou.:It, which would cause a

big fight IS therefore expected when

The ability OF the trust to fight the

If the smelters are actually closed

be thrown out of work and the output
of the company immensely decreased.

An exceedingly important meeting of the Tempe board of trade was held Monday evening at which time mat ters of no little moment were taken I'D. Considered in the order that the events of the evening occurred, first was the election of a director to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of B. A. Packard w F.

MESA
BONDS FOR CITY WATER WORKS.
This Issue Occupying the Attention of PubIe-Sprited Citizens.

As the time sor the coming election of city officials draws near together with the voting of bonds for munich pal water system, the citizens of Mesa should be united in a sentiment favor able on this question which is one ot the most paramount issues that has been presented for their decision by ballot since the action recently taken in the matter of bonds for the build ing of a new union high school here.
 That is an issue of vital interest is made doubly plain from an economical standpoint and from the fact that the city has reached a point in its growth when the installation of an up-to-date and modern water system is absolute Ily essential as a means or protectloh againt conflagrations. Two former experiences with this destructive ele- ment here have clearly and forcefully demonstrated the impossibility of suc- cessfullv coping with fires of serious nature without more adequate and ready means of overcoming them. With several street hydrants installed here. doubly the number ot streets could be sprinkled without additional expenditure for either extra helo or more wagons for this purpose.
 Public sentiment along this line IS steadily increasing and the serious consideration of the question is occu- pving the attention of many of the public spirited residents and citizens here. The opinion among both busl-
