HOLLAND CALLS CASTRO.
Demands That Venezuela Forthwith
Revoke De Reus Decree.

Caracas, Oct 14.-"The revocation
of the decree of May IA is demanded in
the most energetic manner-the gov
ernment of Venezuela must from this
moment and without delay fulfill the
protocol of 1894-and not prolong the
intocrable state OF affairs which it
has created by the decree of May IA"
These are the words of the minister
Of foreign affairs Of The Netherlands
in his note of August 20 in which he
answers Venezuela's communication
telling of the summary dismissal Of
Minister De Reus from Caracas.
Vanswinderem, the foreign minister
of Holland, began his reply to Presi-
dent Castro by acknowledging the
gravity OF the offense committed by
NJ. De Reus and saying that The
Netherlands government would have
Immediately recalled him of its own
initiative if it had seen the offensive
publication, but that President Castro
had taken justice into his own hands
and violating international custom by
summarily expelling the minister
without asking for his recall.
ne note goes on TO say lHdt dlleI
the renewal of friendly relations is
established, "the celebration of def
mite treaty of arbitration and con
sular convention, which will be the
surest means of arriving at the de-
sired end, shall be submitted to sub
sequent consideration. But the gov
ernment of Venezuela must, from this
moment, and without delay, show it
knows how to appreciate in its real
value the protocols Of 1904 which form
the basis of our relations, as we'll as
the obligations incurred by The
Netherlands, and faithfully lived up
to, and that it does not wish to COM
promise its existence by prolonging
the intolerable state of affairs which
it has created by the decree of
May a."

RAISES NEW ROW.
Japan Insists on Right to Chase A.
legged Bandits in China.

Toxic, Oct 16---A new and serious
complication in the relations between
Japan and China was revealed here yes
terdav when it was announced that the
Chinese government would be called
upon for an explanation of its refusal
to allow Japanese detachments to pur-
sue Chinese marauders across the Man
churan line into China
The action of China in refusing to
permit the presence of armed Japanese
soldiers within her borders is con-
strued as an attitude similar to that
taken by China during the Tatsu Maru
imbroglio.
After awaiting an explanation for a
sufficient length of time, the mikado's
government will issue orders directing
the Japanese garrisons to ignore the
Chinese boundary in their pursuit of
brigands.
Several skirmishes, as a result Of
China's stand, have resulted. and it will
require delicate diplomacy to settle the
matter.

Reno, New, Oct. 14.-Believing
that gambling in Reno is accountable
for the small attendance at the uni

throughout the state will not send
their children to school in a city

DANGER POINT AGAIN SHIFTS.
Bulgaria is Now Center of Action in
Balkans.

Paris, Oct 14.-Advices received
here from French official sources in
dicate that the danger point in the
Balkans has shifted back to Bulgaria.
While there is no confirmation of the
report that Bulgaria has delivered an
ultimatum to Turkey regarding the
recognition of her independence in
side of three days, there is reason to
believe that Bulgaria is determined to
make move if Turkey and the pow
ers persist in their refusal to accept
her independence as an accomplished
fact
The danger of a declaration of war
from Servia is considered over for the
present. The French government has
decided to leave Servia's demand for
compensation from Austria-Hungary
to the consideration of the powers.
NJ Stanchioff, the diplomatic agent
of Bulgaria in Paris, declared yester-
day that the situation in Bulgaria was
grave and tense.
"a rapid solution is necessary" he
said. The agent said, however, he did
not believe an Ultimatum had been
sent to Turkey.
The Turkish ambassador here,
Nasum Pasha, admits that Turkey is
taking defensive military measures,
but he repeats that Turkey desires
peace

BRITAIN YIELDS
TO RUSSIAN PLEA
Agrees TO Conference on Turkish At.
fairs Among Powers.
Straits May Not Yet Be Opened IS
Russia Would Rather Control the
Dardanells Until Navy is Built
Crest Britain Maintains Sanctity
of Treaties.

London, Oct. 13-M. Iswolsky, the
Russian foreign minister, has Sue
ceeded in impressing upon Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British secretary for
foreign affairs, the necessity that not
only should a conference of the pow
ers be held to settle the crisis in the
Near East, but this conference should
take under advisement other ques-
tions besides those involved in the
annexation by Austria of Bosnia and
Herzegovina and the declaration of
Bulgarian independence.
This change of front on the part of
Great Britain, which has caused great
surprise, was announced by the for
eign office at the conclusion of long
conference between Sir Edward Grey
and NJ lsWOlsky, after meeting of
the cabinet, in which Sir Edward set
forth the position he had taken and
explained the views of the Russian
minister.
1t is doubtful whether Russia is
anxious to reopen the Dardanelles for
the present for, if this is done, it
must be for all nations, and Russia is
not likely 10 deSlre lhdt Whlle Ae0
fleet is weak.
The point in her previous stand
Great Britain is continuing to insist
upon, apparently. is that no modifica-
ton of a treaty can be permitted
without the consent of all parties to
that treaty, and at her proposal the
powers have instructed their ambas-
sadors at Constantinople to affirm
this principle What end can be
served by this is not stated by the
foreign office, but it can hardly be
expected that either Bulgaria or Aus
tria- Hungary will consent to restore
the legal stauts in Bulgaria and

New Stamp Issue.

Washington, Oct. 15.-The bureau
Of engraving and printing is prepar-
ing to issue the new postage stamps,
designs for which have been COM
pleted at the suggestion of Postmas-
ter-General Meyer The new stamps
are to be the most simple printed by
the government for years. They will
be OF the following denominations
l, ?, g. 4, 5, 6, s, 10, Is and 50-cent

lines. At the top are the words, ~.
S. Postage" and at the bottom the
words, Two Cents" or according to
the denomination. The 1-cent stamps
contain the head of Franklin and all
the others the head of Washington.

ors are the reds and blues of early
stamps
