cLEVELAND'S DEATH DEMENT'S
FRIENDSHIP OF REPUBLICS

WASHINGTON, June 26.-President
Cleveland's death has brought from
the Spanish-American republics ex-
pressions that in the view of the adj
ministration crystalline and cement
the friendship of the American repub-
lies.
Cordial replies, couched in the same
terms of friendship, are being returned
by the state department. This ex-
change in a measure is regarded as
the fruit of the visit of Secretary Root
two years ago, as well as an apprecia-
ton of the efforts of the United States
during President Cleveland's time for
maintenance of the Monroe doctrine,
as exemplified in the Venezuelan
cause.
Among the exchanges made public
at the department of justice today was
a dispatch from the chamber of depu-
ties of Brazil and the reply of the
state department sent by Acting Sec
rotary Adee. The coincidence was adj
dressed ITO Your Excellency and the
Noble North American Nation"
The reply from the government fol-
lows:
THE president is deeply touched by
the sympathetic sorrow manifested by
the legislative assembly upon the
death of former President Cleveland,
and sees therein a fresh proof of in
innate friendship that unites the Bra
lillian and American peoples"
The Brazilian government, in view
of the fact that the Cleveland funeral
was private, was not represented at
that ceremony by the ambassador, but
Secretary Elchermont of the embassy
and the consul general of Brazil in
New York went to Princeton to at
tend.

SLEEPER is ON WAY WITH
VENEZUELA INFORMATION

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Jacob
Sleeper, the secretary of the American
legation at Caracas, who was sum-
moned home by the government pc
cause of dissatisfaction of the admin
istration with the manner in which
President Castro had been dealing with
interests of citizens of this country,
has reported his arrival at Wiilemstad
to the department of state. Mr.. Sleep
err announces that he is ready to pro-
coed to the American naval station at
Guantanamo and arrangements Will be
made today to send the Marietta there.
Mr.. Sleeper will remain at Guam
tanamo only long enough to eaten
steamer on his way to New York, go
ing by way of Cienfugos and Havana
Cuba.
With a grim sense of humor, in view
Of the conditions under which he left
Venezuela, Mr.. Sleeper suggests to the
state department that 1t is impractical
BILE for him to proceed to New York
direct from Willemstad, as the steam
ers leaving for New York go by way
of Porto Cabello, Venezuela, which
place he had just left. Mr.. Sleeper s
dispatch adds that Military Attache
Ruggles and family are undergoing
quarantine presumably at Willemstad)
before proceeding to Washington. The
officials of the state department feel
that on personal lnterVleWS Win hi -.
Sleeper they will be better Informed
as to the attitude of President Castro
1t Is believed here that President Cas-
tro will not be willing to permit the
present anomalous situation to continue
indefinitely The cordial relations that
exist between the state department and
Senior Velose-Goiticoa, Venezuelan
charge in this city, Is looked upon as
an easy channel for resumption of a
friendly discussion of the situation.
With Consular Agent Brewer in
charge at Caracas, this government
should communicate easily with the
Venezuelan capital at any time.
Much interest was attached here to
the statement of Mr.. Sleeper and Lieu
tenant Ruggles, the military attache,
in an interview given to the Associat-
ed Press at Willemstad. In this the
two members Of the legation reiterated
that they were courteously treated by
Venezuela up to the time of their de-
parture and that they were awaiting
instructions from Washington.

have a chance for recovery. The three
men fell from distance of forty feet
and struck on the stone sidewalk. They
had just started to work when the ac-
cident occurred. 1t was caused by
the breaking of one of the hooks from
which the staging was swung.

EXPECTS VENEZUELAN CLOUDS
TO PASS AWAY IMMEDIATELY

THE HAGUE, June 26.-The govern
ment was interpellated In the chamber
OF deputies today in regard to the
seizure Of Dutch vessels by Venezuelan
officials. The Dutch foreign minister
replied that neither the Dutch minister
at Caracas nor the governor of the
island of Curacao had made any re-
port on such incident
The only trouble at present existing
between Venezuela and the Neither
lands, the minister said, was due to
the preventive measures taken by the
government OF Curacao against the
plague, Venezuela having retaliated by
taking various measures against Gu
racao shipping.
The minister In conclusion said he
was convinced, in view of the extreme
ly cordial relations which had existed
between the Netherlands and Vene-
zuela of recent years, that the clouds
would soon be dispelled and further
difficulties averted.

MARIETTA is WITHDRAWN
FROM DISPATCH SERVICE

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Coincident
with her arrival at Guantanamo, the
gunboat Marietta was withdrawn from
the dispatch boat service between the
United States and Venezuela, in which
she has been engaged for some time,
especially during the prevalence of the
plague in Venezuela, where the regu-
lar lines steamers failed to stop reg
ularly at some of the Venezuelan
ports.
No other vessel will be assigned to
take the Marietta's place, there being
no American diplomatic representa-
tive at the capital of Castro's govern
ment, the necessity for the dispatch
service 70 longer continues.
Should extraordinary conditions de-
yeIop the navy department has sew
