depend largely upon the reports M. de
Reus, forme.' Dutch minister to Vene,
zuela, who recently was expelled by
President Castro, makes to the gov.

consult with NJ. de Reus before the

matter. The ex-minister's arrival Is
eagerly awaited here.
The press and public of The Meth,
e:Iands take the Venezuelan affair
most calmly. NavaI officers are most
interested in it and express pleasure
at the possibility Of seeing active serv-
ice. The government, however, thinks
there is yet a chance that the Difficult
ty may be patched up by diplomacy.
A blockade of the Venezuelan coast,
if it is undertaken, will not be begun
for some time because the adoption
of punitive measures will depend upon
the tenor of President Castro's reply
to Hollands representations.

NATIONAL HONOR INsUlTtD
Queen WilheImina Anxious to Preserve
Peace-ArbitratiOn Is Be.
ing Urged.

The Hague, Aug. 25.-The distant
Venezuelan war cloud does not ruffie
the placidity of the Dutch capital in
over the prospect of furnishing Presi.
| dent Castro for the insult suffered by
the Dutch minister. The public ap-
pears content to let the government
take whatever measures it considers
proper and necessary and displays lit
events have taken in the diplomatic
relations between Holland and Vene-
zuela.
Prepare for War.
Some show of interest was made d.
rectly after a recent meeting of the
cabinet, at which the entire situation
was discussed, but since then the
wheels of the government have moved
slowly, the minister of foreign af-
fairs awaiting the return of NJ. de
Reus, the Netherlands minister-resi-
dent in Caracas, who was diumissed
by the Venezuelan president. NJ. de
Reus is expected to arrive here to-
day.
The officials of the foreign Office
profess to believe hat there is yet a
chance of settling the trouble between
the two nations by diplomacy, but
preparations which are now being
made by the ministry of marine dis
credits such optimism. Nothing less
than the speedy withdrawal of Presi-
dent Castro's DEGREES which have been
the can OF crippling trade in the ISL
and of Caracas and something in the
nature of an apology will be satisfac-
tory to Holland.
National Honor lnsulted.
There are few, however, who be-
lieve that President Castro will con-
sent to these terms. Arbitration is be-
ing urged by some of the newspapers,
which put forward the argument that
Holland, being the home of the worlds
peace conferences and its capital the
site Of the peace palace, should be the
last country to embark in warfare.
The government would be glad if
such a solution as that offered by ar
~oitration were possible. Queen Will
helmina particularly is anxious to pre-
serve peace, but apart from the fact
that Castro laughs at the decisions of
arbitration courts, the cabinet regards
the summary dismissal of its minister
as an insult to the national honor
which is outside the class of cases for
which arbitration is suitable.

Laramie, Wyo, Aug. %. - While

Woman Left Half Dead.
The officer was beaten into insensi
bility with a gun and the unfortunate
young woman was dragged to az iso'
lated spot and assaulted. After lying
half dead for hours, the victim of the
outrage revived and succeeded in
crawling to a house some distance
away and told her story. Twenty-six
men, alleged TO have been implicated
In the outrage, are under arrest and
are chained together in the camp pris,

prevent %lynching, as sentiment in the
camp is strong against them. Six oil
the alleged assailants escaped, but
three of them were apprehended at
Rawlins yesterday. The other three
are still at large.
