Republic at Washington
Still on the Job.

Carcas, June 24.-The members of
the American legation are awaiting
the arrival of the United States gun
boat Marietta, at Porto Cabello, the
warships having been ordered there
for the purpose of transferring them
to the United States. Jacob Sleeper
who has been acting as charge d'af
faires since the departure of the
American minister, w. w. Russell and
Lieutenant F. A. Ruggies, the mill
tary attache, withdrew from the lega
ton at Caracas on Saturday and pro-
ceeded to Porto Cabello. The interests
of the United States were placed in
charge of the Brazilian legation as the
representatives of the European ma
tions are having considerable friction
with President Castro's government.
John Brewer, American consular ag.
ent, remains her in charge of the arch
ives.
Revolution Brewing.
President Castro returned here sud
denly a few days ago after long alb
sence in the interior and his arrival
attracted much attention. ALL kinds
of rumors are current and the with
drawal of the representatives of the
United States government is not quite
understood by Venezuelans. 1t is prob
able, too, that there will be an early
rupture with Holland and there are re-
ports that revolution against the ad-
ministration is being organized in Co.
lombo. AS matters now stand, the
United States, France and Columbia,
practically have no relations with the
Venezuelan government. Great Britain
and Holland have several questions
pending with the government. Germ
any alone has no dispute.

result. On the other hand, it is hoped
by his friends that Senator Foraker
is to have the support Of Mr.. Taft and

Two ARRESTS MADE
IN THE GOULD CASE
Alleged Attempt TO Manutae-
ture Evidence.

New York, July 22.-According to
the statement made by a milliner's
apprentice, Miss Mabel B. McCaus-
land, a remarkable plot was revealed
to manufacture evidence against
Frank j. Gould in the suit for divorce
which his wife, Helen Kelley Gould,
recently brought against him. Two
arrests were made by the district at
torney's Office. Harry S. Mousley, a
private detective, and Miss Julia
Fleming are the persons arrested.
The police also expressed a desire to
question Mrs. Ben Teal, wife of a well
known stage manager. The arrests
were made under dramatic circum-
stances in an apartment house in Fiji
ty-ninth street, near Seventh venue.
The first known of the plot was
when Miss McCausland approached
Mr.. Gould's attorneys and told of the
alleged plot to injure their client.
The young woman was then taken to
the district attorneys Office and made
a full statement of the part she had
played in the alleged conspiracy. The
substance of the girls statement was
that the matter was preached to her
ten days ago, when. 1t is alleged, Miss
Fleming, who represented herself as
coming from Mrs. Teal, tried to in
terest her in the scheme. Miss Nc
Causland asserted that she was prom
Used $1,000 If she would make a state
ment compromising Mr.. Gould. She
had several interviews, she said, with
Miss Fleming, Mrs. Teal and Detec-
tive Mousley, at which the details Of
what she was to testify to were dis
cussed. Miss McCausland said she
consented to go into the scheme. a
statement was drawn up and she
signed it and her signature was wit
messed by a notary. Later Miss Nc
Causland said she became alarmed
and decided to notify the authorities.
Arrangements were then made to
have the girl attend a conference be-
tween the alleged conspirators and a
detective from the district attorneys
office accompanied her and there
made the arrests.
