A Severe Blow to the Village of Leon.

Fargo, N. d., July 25.-The most
disastrous fire in the history Of Leon
ard, village OH the Southwestern
branch of the Northern Pacific, TWEEN
ty-five miles from Fargo, occurred
yesterday morning when $50, 900 went
up in smoke, on which there is not
more than $4,000 insurance. The
fire started at 2 o'clock a. m. whom
the Moran, Booses & Porter general
store was struck by lightning. 1t
was not discovered until O'Clock,
whom smoke was seen pouring out of
the windows and doors of the two
story brick block.
Fire fighting apparatus in the little
village is limited, and some time was
consumed in sounding an alarm and
arousing the citizens. Even then
they were powerless to stay the
flames, which spread rapidly to ad-
joining buildings, and it was only by
heroic work that any part of the vii
lage was saved from destruction.

CASTRO Anglers THE DUTCH
THE ISLAND OF CURACAO 10 ALL
UP IN ARMS.
Demonstration is Made to Resent tho
the Publication Of Certain De-
famatory Articles.

Willemsted, Island Of Curacao, Ju-
ly 27.-The relations between Venez-
uela and the people of the Island of
Curacao, Dutch West Indies, are
now strained to the breaking point.
Following a long series of what the
residents of Curacao regard as antag-
onistic actions on the part of Presi-
dent Castro, directed against them
selves and the Dutch government,
mobs gathered in force at this capt.
tai last night and to-day and expressed
their resentment In an attack upon
the home of Venezuelan who had
published statements in Venezuelan
papers derogatory to the island, and
later held violent demonstrations in
front of the residence of the venez-
uelan consul, surrounded the German
consulate, where he had taken refuge
and compelled the ordering out of
armed troops 30 that the CONSUL
might be protected from injury.
The demonstration before the resi-
dence of the Venezuelan consul, Sc
nor Lopez, occurred late last night,
and although no actual attack was
made it is stated that two shots were
fired from the oonsul's house, no one,
however, being injured.
Prior to this, about 10 O'Clock at
night, mob numbering about 1000
gathered in front of the dwelling of a
Venezuelan resident who. 1t is al
legged, had insulted Curaco in the
Venezuela papers. broke down the
doors with stones and, selling the
man, compelled him to sign a paper
which set forth an elaborate excuse
for the publication of the statements
with which he is charged.
The leaders of the populaoe also
forced him to make public apology
from the balcony of his homo, while
the crowd below hooted and groaned
in accompaniment. Furthermore,
members of the mans family were
compelled to play Dutch national
hymns, while the people below shout
ed, "Down with Castro; long may
Wilhelmina live"
The police were unable to cope
with the mob and their efforts were
feeble.

Mob Report.

The Hague, July 29.-The talk Of a
bombardment by Holland of any vene.
zuelan port or ports or even a naval
demonstration in the Venezuelan

between the Netherlands and the gov
eminent Of President Castro was
Tuesday characterized in official cir.
cles as premature.
The rupture between the Neither
lands and Venezuela, 1t was explained,

ic only. The Netherlands cruiser

bello to watch over the Dutch inter.
ests, should occasion arise.

Minister de Reus, who was expelled
from Venezuela by President Castro,
to come here Immediately and report
fully on the existing situation.
According to an official communica-
ton M. de Reus will be given an op-
portunity to justify, If he can, his pub
lie utterAnces and writings which
caused President Castro to tell him to
leave Venezuela. The present dispo-
sition of the government is to defer
representations to Venezuela until the
personal explanations of M. de Reus
enable 1t to fully review and Judge
the true situation in West Indian wa
ters.
Willemstad, Curacao, July 29.-H.
de Reus, the former minister of the
Netherlands to Venezuela, was inter-
viewed Tuesday regarding the circum-
stances of his dismissal from that re-
public by President Castro.
He was communicative, and linn
tied himself to saying that during his
stay in Venezuela he was at no time
molested, that the members of the
diplomatic corps and representatives
of the Venezuelan government were
present at the railroad station at Car
acas when he left for La Guaira, and
that the interests of Holland have been
confided to the German legation.
M. de Reus is in quarantine.
