ly reprisal against Castro's govern
ment, which tends to give satisfac-
tion for his unfriendly acts toward
Holland"
The seizure of these vessels will
make it impossible for the Venezue-
Ian government to carry troops or
ammunition to and from the various
ports.
A communication to this effect has
been forwarded by the Dutch govern
ment to the German minister at Car
acas
1t is learned from the officers of
the Gelderland that the battleship
Jacob Van Heemskerk and the crui-
ser Friesland are now off La Guira
and that further captures may be sx-
pected at any time.
These two vessels left here on Fri
day, cleared for action, and it was
believed at that time that the inten-
tion was to make forcible demon
stration at La Guira. The opinion il
held here that the Venezuelan gov
ernment, in the absence of President
Castro, will not go so far as to fire
upon the Dutch warships, which, in
view of the fact that Venezuela il
practically without navy, hold the
Venezuelan ports at their mercy
The naval force of Venezuela con
sists of ten vessels. Of these three
the Bolivar, Miranda and Maragarita
are gunboats The others, with tn,
exception of the Restaurador, which
was formerly the steam yacht Allan
ia, are hardly worthy of mention
They are nothing more than armed
tugs. There is a twelve pound gul
on the Restaurador, but aside froh
this there is no gun in the fleet big
ger than a six FOUNDER. The Ven
ezuelan forts, however, mount som
modern six-inch Krupp guns.

WILLEMSTADT (Curacao), Dec.
15.-The Dutch cruiser Gelderland
came into this port yesterday morn
ing towing the Venezuelan coast
guard ship Alix with the Dutch flag
flying and Dutch crew on board.
The Gelderland captured the Alix off
Puerto Cabello Saturday At that
time the Alix was lying close in
shore, and Notwithstanding the
threat which the Venezuelan govern
ment had made to fire upon any of
the Dutch warships committing a
hostile act, the Gelderland steamed
at full speed toward the moored ship
and sent an officer and guard in a
launch to seize her. This they did
without resistance and no shots came
from the forts on land.
The crew of the Alix was put
ashore and the Dutch officers and
marines remained on board, the Gel
derland finally taking the Alix in
tow and steaming away with her
prize
The seizure of the Alix was in ac-
cordance with the plans of the Hol.
land government when instructions
were issued to the three Dutch war
ships now in these waters to make q
demonstration off the coast of Ven
ezuela and to capture any Venezuelan
ships of war or guard vessel thai
they might find. The arrival of the
Gelderland at Willemstadt this morn
ing was greeted with unbounded en-
thusiasm by those who noticed the
cruiser approach, and soon the entire
population were down to the water!

fred upon them killing and wounding

Filing Nomination Papers.

Under the primary law the nomina.
ton papers of candidates for state
and legislative Office must Be fiied at
least forty days before the date of
the primary which comes on June 2.
That date is April %. In view of the
fact that but about twenty days re-
main for this work there is much
activity in the different legislative
districts and many new candidates
are appearing each day.
The Cummins headquarters have
been informed that a strong Allison
candidate for the legislature has APP
peared in every county and senatorial
district, whether the district is GER
tainly for Cummins or not. This
fact is taken by the managers of the
Cummins campaign to be significant
of intention on the part of the ALI
son advocates and managers to make
a strong fight for the nomination Of
an Allison man for every place in the
assembly to be elected this fall.

The Lid" to Go On.
Des Moines.-Commissio Ham.
cry, who under the new plan of gov
eminent has been assigned to the
department OF public safety, says the
lid" must go on.
There is to be a general renova-
ton of the present police department
said the commissioner There are
good men in that department now
and there are some bad ones. For
instance, the sports who have been
elevated to the ranks of the police
must go. There are men in the Des
Moines police department today who
are typical sports of the worst variety.
One of the first moves that | shall
make will be to rid the department
of these men. The safety of the peo-
pie of great city should not be in
the hands of FOUNDERS and patrons of
the red light district If the people
want the lid on | can certainly put it
on for them and if they desire it, it
to use my influence to get an ideal
chief of police. l am in favor of a
man with some police experience and
he must know Des Moines. There will
be no open gambling and the men
who are running clubs had better be
careful. l will not express myself
upon the social evil. 1t needs a great
deal of attention In dealing with it
shall remember that the code of
Iowa plays great part and, as an
official, / WI be expected to be
guided by it,"

Hull has in preparation bill to con-
solidate the eighteen agencies into
three, locating one in Washington,
one in San Francisco and the other in

gress passing such a measure at the
next session is excellent. A bill for
the abolition of all of the agencies
and the consolidation of the business
at Washington has passed the house.
but 1t is anticipated that it will be
defeated in the senate, as it was be-
fore.

Divorce Law Can't Be Dodeed.

divorce Law Can't Be Dodged.
Iowa's new divorce law, which pre-.
vents divorced persons from remarry-
ing until year has elapsed, except
by consent of the judge granting the
decree, is proving effective in other
states than Iowa, according to reports
that are being made at the court
house. When the new law was passed
it was said the effect would be that
divorced parties would simply go to
another state where the Iowa statute
does not govern, and there be married
whenever they pleased.
But 1t appears other states are
either passing laws similar to Iowa or
are refusing to recognize the rights
of parties divorced in Iowa to marry
in other states unless the decree per-
mits. An instance of this was the
romance of w. H. Stops of Washing.
ton and Mrs. Harriet Cloe of Des
Moines. Mrs. Cloe's divorce did not
permit her to remarry. When Stops
came back to marry her it was sug-
sested that to avoid delays, they go
to Washington to be married. But
Attorney Sellers, who. was consulted,
discovered that the Washington
authorities refused to marry the
parties in view of Mrs. Cloe's Iowa
decree. 1t was this finding that i'm.
PEELED Sellers to get the divorce de-
cree here modified so that the cere-
mony will occur.

Interurbans Must Have Franchise.

That interurban railroad companies
have no right to use the tracks of the
Des Moines City Railway company
without a franchise and that fares on
interurban cars within the city limits
can be determined by the city of Des
Mones, is the opinion submitted to
the city council by City Solicitor w.
II. Bremner. This ruling disposes of
the petition of many property owners
for the council to reduce the fare on
interurbans operating in Des Moines
from IL to 5 cents. Mr.. Bremner
holds that the several interurbans
have no right to entes Des MoinS
without franchise from the city.

JOHN y. 1amiiton TOR Governor.
John j. Hamilton, of Des Moines, Is
a candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for governor of Iowa. He has
authorized the announcement of his
candidacy and promulgated a plat
form which embodies several sensa-
tional features that will serve to focus
attention upon his campaign.
Mr.. Hamilton enters the field as
the champion of state wide prohibit
ton, woman suffrage, guaranteed
bank deposits, expansion of Industrial
training In the schools of the state,
the control of and solution of the
problems arising from the social evil,
and practical extension of the water
ways of the state
He would repeal the mulct law, i'm
mediately; restore the prohibitory
law and resubmit the prohibitory
amendment. In his candidacy he sees
the determination of the issue of re-
submission.
He would organize a scheme at
once for the practical improvement of
the rivers OF Iowa so as to enable an
expansion Of the internal commerce of
the state, by having the chief streams
surveyed with a view of canalizing
them.
His programme is so sensational
and his announcement to totally unex-
pected that his candidacy will attract
wide attention and his personality
will augment the interest taken in the
legislation which he proposes.
Mr.. Hamilton was formerly editor
OF the Daily News, but lately has
been editor of the Homestead, posi-
ton which he resigns in order that
he may urge his candidacy.
