 FOR DAN A|hSWORTH
Mining Man Treated By Pas teur Is Now Safe From
 All Danger,

PHoENI, Feb. 7.-Dan Ainswortn, | the mining man who went to Chicago nearly three months ago to receive treatment for what was believed to be a maddog bite, was in town yes- terday for the first time since his re- turn, though he left Chicago a month ago, going directly to his mining p4Uv. | erty in the Picacho district.
 At the time of his departure from the city there was little doubt that the dog which had hstten him, favor ite Shepherd, was suffering of hydro phobia- All the pronounced symp- toms of hydrophobia were present in the animal and it was known that some time before the dog had dlled a skunk q
 gone an assistant at the mining camp made a post mortem examination of the dog and found in it's stomach ure head and rattles of a rattlssnake. That discovery indicated that the dog might ! not have had hydrophobia.
 This information was forwarded to Dr. Antonio Lagoria, director ot the Institute The information may have been interesting to him but it did not produce any change in the treatment which was administered for a par ticularly obstinate case.
 The treatment varies from fifteen to twenty-one days, according 70 the l severity of the patients wounds. If | on the Face the treatment is admin stered for twenty-one days and if on the arms, eighteen days; on the legs, l fifteen days. Though Mir. Aims worth had been bitten in the hands and fora arms he was detained for twenty four | days. Since his return he has received a | letter from Dr. Lagoria telling him that if sixty days pass without any manif Hesitation, he may prepare to meet death in some other form than hydrophobia. There have been no manifestations yet. The scars on MT. Ainsworth's hands and arms are sIn there and always will be.
 The treatment has had one result upon which MT. Ainsworth had nol counted. He is no longer a corv.ya, soul within the full meaning of the word "convival." He has not taken a drink since he began taking the I treatment and he has no desire for | any HE lSdFS He never VIII nave. l The institute made no etxra charge for depriving him of any appetite Fe might have had for strong drink; in Tact, ne has not informed the insti ute management that that has been one of the results of the treatment and Dr. Lagorio will perhap.. never lind out unless suit for damages is brought against the institute. II is no trifling thing to take away from a man his desire for a cocktail now and then.
 MT. Ainsworth found twenty La tients at the institute on his arrival and there were about that many there all the time during his stay. They are constantly coming and eoing
 Most of them had been bitten by dogs
 but others were sufferers from r,.,, of cats, horses, skunks, wolves, COWS calves, burros, coyotes, rats, mules

 There was a suspicion last night that Cave Creek had been playing more funny tricks with the canal bank as it did not appear that enough water was getting to the west end. However any break that might have occurred evidently is not large and had not been reported yet.

 It was decidedly surprising to the convention delegates however. owing to the fact that this afternoon in a lengthy, speech in which he advocated harmony Governor Kibbey discOursed at length on the need of unity in the republican ranks in the territory.

SPANKING"
 OF CASTRO
To Be Provided For by
 Senate Resolution
The President to Be Given Free Hand in Dealing With Him.

Washington, April 1S.-From a num- Der of conferences which Chairman Cullom of the senate committee on for eign relations had recently with Pres ident Roosevelt and Secretary Root. it is now probable that before the ad- journment of the present session of congress blanket authority will be vot- ed the president to proceed against Venezuela in such manner as subse- quent events may require. to uphold the dignity of the United States and protect the interests of American citi- zens. A resolution giving such author ity to the president has been drafted by MT. CullOm and approved Dy the president and MT Root
 It provides in general terms that the president shall have power to deal with Venezuela in matters of adjusting the controversy with the country concern ing the wrongs done. to American cit izens and corporations in Venezuela by reason of the ill treatment they re- ceived at the hands of President Cas- trO. Under such authority the admin istration would again demand the sub mission to arbitration of the claims of American citizens and corporations against Venezuela Treaties on the subject of general arbitration and use use of force for the recovery of debts ratified by the senate in the last few weeks obligated the United States to follow this line of procedure. If the resolutions giving general authority to President Roosevelt to proceed against Venezuela as he sees fit are adopted by this congress; in the event Castro should continue in his present attitude there is no question but the American government would have power to re- sort to force. Furthermore, the indi- cations are that an aggressive program would be adopted.
 President Roosevelt believes that Castro is trying to bluff this govern ment. MT. Root believes the dignity of the diplomatic branch of the govern ment has been trampled upon, Mir Cullom and other members of the for eign relations committee of the senate. to use the chairmans words that President Castro needs spanking"
 Undoubtedly any plan of procedure agreed upon by the senate will be fol- lowed by the house.
 The senate committee on foreign re- lations will consider the Venezulean correspondence received in response to the Lodge resolution when it meets next Wednesday. It is not likely that the program suggested will be com pleted in time to report on that day but everything points to an early agreement on a plan which give the administration a free hand to act in such a manner as the situation may seem to demand.
