THE VALUE OF PINE STRAW IN

quantity of straw Is used SO that IL

CASTRO SUPPORTERS OUT
Acting President of Venezuela Selects
New Cabinet.

Port of Spain, Trinidad. Dec. 3D.
Vice President Gomez, to whom Presi-
dent Castro handed over the presiden-
cy on his departure for Europe, has
established a new government In
Venezuela. He has replaced the old
ministry, the leader of which was
DIR. Jose de Jesus Paul, the minister
of foreign affairs in the negotiations
that eliminated In the ousting OF Min
lister De Rues and the severance OF
diplomatic relations with Holland,
with a new body of men who repre-
sent various factions in the state and
who have figured prominently In va
rious ways in the political history OF
the country.
Not only has DR.. Paul disappeared
from the councils of the nation, but
DR.. Baldo, who is now travelling in
Castro's suite abroad, also has been
removed from his official position as
minister of education. General Diego
Ferren, the minister Of war, who also
was war minister in the cabinet OF
Acting President Gomez in 1906, has
been superseded by General Regulo
Olivares, who took prominent part
in crushing the revolutionists six
wears ago.

Caracas, Venezuela, Dec. 23.-There
has been no repetition in this city of
the anti-Castro demonstrations OF
Dec. 13 and Ia, but the enforced res
ignation of the Castro cabinet Is re-
garded as going far toward sealing
the fate of President Castro In Ven
ezuela. The fall of the cabinet is a
logical outcome OF the fact that Act
ing President Gomez permitted the
anti.Castro demonstrations in Caracas.
The change of ministry was effect
ed and made known only after the
arrival in the capital of 1900 soldiers
from the interior, who are loyal to
Gomez.
There is much military activity ev-
erywhere and troops are being recruit
ed and armed with energy in the be-
lief that the men in the interior loyal
to Castro will fight.

It Is intimated that even more startling
developments will transpire shortly.
In the meantime the people of Pitts

scription at the suddenness of the ar
rest of the nine men, who are all well
known. According to the best infor-
nation obtainable it is possible the

to the alleged grating here. The fol
lowing are the men accused:

Jacob Soffel, w. H. Melaney and Hugh
Ferguson. Former President w. w.
Ramsey and former Cashier A. A. VII
sack of the German National bank
are also accused.
Information against all the seven
members of the council charges them
with conspiracy, corrupt solicitation
and bribery.
An additional information against
Brand. Wasson and Klein charges
them with bribery and corrupt solici-
tation.
From Brand. Wasson and Klein bail
In the sum of $4,000 each was de-
manded. The bail of the other four
members of the council was fixed at
$4,000 each.
The information against Ramsey
and Vilsack charges them with giving
Klein $l7,500 as a bribe. Bail de-
manded from each Is $4,000.
While all the defendants were taken

cured the necessary bail, which in the
aggregate amounted to $17S,0OO.
All the informations were sworn to
