THE NETHERLANDS AND VENE-
ZUELA.
The government of the Netherlands
has no intention of giving out the terms
of its reply to President Castro of Ven
ezuela, until its communication to the
chief executive of that republic is
actually delivered. This will be done
through the intermediary of the Ger
man minister at Caracas, Baron Won
Seckendorff, who is watching out for
Holland interests in Venezuela. The
suggestion has been mooted by some
politicians that the other powers having
claims against Venezuela will join with
Holland in united action against that
republic. This proposal, however, does
not meet with favor here, and no sug-
gestion from any other power has Of
f1cially reached The Hague. The gov
eminent of the Netherlands is confident
of its ability to handle the situation
single-handed, now that it has the SYM
pathetic support of the United States
In note of complaint from the gov
ment of Holland breaking off dipo-
matte relations, the former describes
the visit of the Dutch cruiser Colder
land, when it came to take De Reus
the Dutch minister away, and says that
it did not salute the fortress, and de-
scribed the attack upon the Venezue-
Ian consul at Curacao. The note from
the government of Venezuela states
that because of the injuries which
Minister De Reus has caused the repub-
lie and it's government for the omis-
sion of the salute to the flag by the
cruiser Gelderland, under the circum-
stances specified, the government of
Venezuela found itself in the unavoid-
able position of declaring to the gov
eminent of Holland that so long as due
satisfaction and reparation are not
given for the injuries and grievances
which this note sums up, it would not
be possible to continue cultivating
friendly relations between the two
countries.

the guilt of some members of that
regiment in connection with the
shooting up" of Brownsville.
Only two members of the Military
Affairs Committee, Foraker and
Bulkeley, were willing to vote for
the Foraker resolution declaring
that the evidence showed that the
negroes did not do the shooting.
Nevertheless, when it came to say
ing that the negroes did do it, FIVE
Senators, all Republicans, were
found who were afraid to express
their convictions. They were For
aker, Bulkeley, Scott, Hemenway
and DUPONT. In the case Of Du
Pont, he said he was convinced that
the shots were fired from rifles
which had been issued to the 25th
Infantry and which were in the
hands of negroes, but was not will
ing to say it was the negro troopers
who did the shooting. But al
though large majority of the COM
mittee voted for a resolution saying
the negro soldiers did do the shoot
ing, Mr.. Foraker has introduced a
bill providing that the discharged
soldiers shall all be restored to the
army and to their respective rank
and shall receive all back pay. Of
course the Ohio Senator does not
expect such bill to pass, but he
hopes to make political capital with
the negroes and incidentally to in
jure Secretary Taft. The only man
who has in anyway profted by the
Brownsville investigation, which
has cost thousands of dollars, is
Senator Foraker who has charged
the government with a hotel bill of
$6 day for the three months of
the investigation, despite the fact
that all that time he was living at
his own handsome residence in
Washington.

A party OF editors from a number Of
