venezueIs's Official Newspaper De-
cIares Gases Were Once Arbitrated-
Makes Serious Charges Against Un-
tied States Citizens Who Have Filed
Claims-Monroe Doctrine Called Up.

Caracas. April o.-Presdent Castro's
official organ, Ell Constitutional. pub
lisLes part OF Venezuela's answer to
Secretary Roots note reiterating the
secretary's previous demandssfor arbi-
rration of the five American claims.
These are the words of the Venezuelan
minister of foreign affairs to Minister
Russell:
"The government Of Venezuela re-
fuses for the time being to take under
consideration the insinuation made in
your note because, UP to now, you
have not contr:ldicted the notes of this
,s~.,iuistry of dates of July and Sep
TEMPER 20 last, which treated of the
points which have been the subject of
discussion, and in which the reasons
on which this government then found
ed it's negative were perfectly we'll de-
question, comprised among those
which require diplomatic action. can
not be considered, and the government
of Venezuela would see with satisfac-
ton that the United States would con-
slider this matter terminated the in
terested parties always having right of
recourse to the tribunals of Justice
Of the republic if they deem it con-
venient."
The paper gees on to allege that al
most Ave years after the claims in
question had been arbitrated, the
American government comes to de-
a,iand, thru it's minister at Caracas,
that two Of these claims shall be new
" submitted to arbitration. Suggest
ing that the usefulness of the Monroe
doctrine will be, destroyed by the pres
ent attitude OF the state department.
the editorial continues:
1--WE do not believe for a moment
that the United States congress can
possibly authorize any proceeding
which viii create a situation contrary
to the rule Of justice among nations"
In closing FL Constitutional says:
'Tt is the duty Of every government
to watch over the legitimate and hon
est interests Of it's citizens and save
them from all designing attack, but no
serious government nor any govern-
aient which pretends to be just, can
or ought to protect under the flag
OF the fatherlssnd the peculations OF
a1venturers."
A serious charge IS added against
one of the persons making the claim
against Venezuela.

THE VANDERBILT DIVORCE.
Papers Filed Do Not Reveal Nature
OF Charges.

New York, April 2-There was lit
tie surprise expressed in any quarter
today over the announcement that
formal action in the suit for divorce
had been taken by Mrs. Ellen French
Vanderbilt against Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt. Papers in the case, which
We're filed today, show every effort is
being made to conceal the real nature
OF the suit There is nothing in the
papers available to show whether the
contemplated action is for separation
or divorce. 1t is generally believed how
ever, that an absolute divorce will be
asked by Mrs. Vanderbilt. Whatever
the nature of the suit it will be de-
tended by Vanderbilt, according to af-

"NEvER FIND NORTH POLE"
MikkeIson, Arctic Explorer, Believes
All Attempts Arc Useless.

Victoria, B. c., March 31.-That the
northpole will never be found and
that the attempts of Peary, Varicle and
the other explorers whose ambition
is the great discovery of the centuries
are merely foolish risks In the belief
of Captain Mikkelson, the Arctic ex-
plorer, who headed the Anglo-Ameri-
can expedition to seek vast conti-
nent, believed to exist in the Beaufort
sea, the most northerly body of water
on the face of the globe.
"Under the conditions" said Captain
Mikkelson, "it is absolutely impossible
to carry the necessary scientific in
struments over the ice on sleds. and
without the proper instruments, obser-
vations are out of the question and
penetration to the farthest north Is a
wasted accomplishment.
