Strengthened in Anticipation of
Naval Demonstration.

CARACAS. Venezuela. October 90, via
Willemstad, October 26.-President Cas-
tro, in his answer to the second Neither
lands note has declined to revoke his
decree of May IA, prohibiting the trans
shipment of goods for Venezuelan ports at
Curacao, which has been so obnoxious to
the people of that island. This answer
was made September II. The president
expresses surprise that the Netherlands
government should ask for the revocation
of this decree after acknowledging Vene-
zuea's right to issue it. Continuing, he
asks the Netherlands to send a confiden-
tial agent to Caracas to arrange the
terms of an amicable settlement of the
differences between the two governments
The chief of the artillery branch of the
Venezuelan army has completed the prep
arations for the defense of La Guaira.
In authorization of a naval demonstration
by Holland before that port on Novem-
Der l shells have been distributed to all
the modern guns installed in the forts on
the mountain side above La Guaira.
President Castros health is still deli
cate, and causes anxiety to his friends.
The Netherlands government in second
communication to Venezuela, dated Au-
gust 20, said:
THE revocation of the decree of May
Ia Is demanded In the most energetic
manner, and the government of Venezu-
ella must from this moment and without
delay fulfill the protocol of 1894, and not
prolong the intolerable state of affairs
which 1t has created by the decree of
May H.
1T is only this revocation which can
confirm. as an accomplished fact, the
assurance from your excellency that the
personal fault committed by the minister
resident on. De Reus) has not altered
the good relations SO happily existing
between the two nations, and that Vene-
zuela also desires to maintain them on
the most amicable basis"

Special Dispatch to The Sta

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, October 26-E. L.
Philip. who is mentioned in a charge OF
the New York World says that James s.
Sherman did not try to secure New Mex
leo timber land by fraud. but the facts
are exactly the reverse of what the World
claims, because when Mr.. Phillip and his
associate discovered that the land could
not be acquired without evading the laws
they promptly dropped the effort to ac-
quire the property.
Mr.. Philip says the proposition which
was offered them was exactly the same as
the western land and coal deals which
resulted in scores of persons being indict-
ed by the federal grand jury at Denver
last year. However. instead of going into
the deal, as did so many persons, Mr..
Philip and his associates stayed out
when they saw the laws would have to
be violated.

Republican Mass Meeting

Last Saturday evening the republican
held a public meeting in Odd Fellows
Hall. Before the meeting a short parade
was made headed by the Penn'sGrove
Band which furnished music for the
meeting.
The hall was profusely decorated with
flags and Postmaster L. E. Hunt pre-
sided.
Wilton Bennett, an attorney of New
York, was the speaker who took the
place of Charles W. Fuller who was ex
pected. He made a nice patriotic and
laudatory speech with few references to
the issues of the campaign. He said the
country needed a leader with no weak
spots i'll his armOr, with an acumen OF
the highest order and a moral character
as pure as the morning dew. Such a
man was William Ii. Taft. The record
of his mate, James S.. Sherman, in Con-
gress was all enviable one.
The Republican party had made this
country the envy of the world and the
history OF the party for forty five years
was the history of the country. 1t broke
the shackles OF slavery and has as it's rep
resentatives Lincoln, the martyr; the
great and good Garfield; the Plumed
Knight, James g. Blaine and the daring
Roosevelt. w. r. Hearst's criticising of
Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic party
was recited and Daniel Webster's per.
Grafton of eighty years ago was recited.
He said the tariff must be improved
but the country must not die OF the I'M
provement. As to extravaganza in adj
ministration he said that the Republican
party did spend the peoples money. nv
buying b~attleships. Three billions are
handled by the postal system, rural de
liveries have been extended ard the Pan
m Canal is being built, and civilization
is being taken to the PHILIPPINES.
We are not going to forget tie bows OF
the COS, o the welfare OF IS millions of
people. Taft and Sherman are men of
the hour who inspire enthusiasm in the
hearts of the people.
Rev. John w. Davis, OF Pedricktown
next spoke in favor of the local option
issue and the Dissertation of the homes by
strong drink, He landed Senator Plum
mer as he man to meet the issue
and introduced him.
Senator Plummer said not a word in
favor OF local option, but spoke on bis
record. He said he had passed a bill to
regulate the size of the mesh on the re-
quest OF the sturgeon fishermen. He had
a Dill to regulate the shooting of ducks
delayed Tor a hearing but it was passed
without his vote. He also spoke and
voted against the bill to exempt securities
held by banks.
A treat was given the faithful afterwards
at the club room.
