Paris April S-The French government de-
ci5ed to-day TO expeI Cipriano Castro from
Martinique on the ground that his presence
there was likely to foment a revolution in
Venezuela This decision followed consideration
of a cable dispatch from NJ. Jusserand, the
French Ambassador at Washington, after his
conference with Secretary Knox yesterday The
decree Of expulsion viii he communicated to
Castro Immediately through the prefect OF Fort
de-France. where Castro now is.
It is presumed here that the government OF
the United States, which opened exchanges with
foreign governments to prevent Castro from es-
tablishinC headquarters near the Venezuelan
coast. will prevent him from making his way to
the mainland on a sailing vessel. This course
will leave Castro the alternative Of taking rel
uga on one of the Danish West India Islands
or returning to Europe
The French line steamer Versailles Will touch
n Fort-de- France on April 10 on her way TO
Europe.
The Temps says that Great Britain was
consulted before the decision to cTpel Castro
from Martinique was taken, and the ''Liherte'
adds that the French government had informa-
ton regarding Castro's political and military
mans which rendered his expulsion advisable.
While part of the press criticses the action
of the government in expelling Castro. most OF
the newspapers enjoy the predicament Of the
..Napoleon Of the Andes and consider that a
proper discipline is being inflicted on a semi
barbarian, who imagined he could tiaunt the
old World with impunity.

Chief of Police E. C. McLane has
been doing business on a large scale
during the last few days, taking
the preliminary steps in the enforce
ment of the city ordinance regulat-
ing soft drink establishments. This
ordinance is drastic in its REQUIRE
ments and was made to stop the sale
OF intoxicating liquors. The soft
drink establishments have all been
notified to take down their screens
partitions, etc., as the ordinance re-
quires. Some object but they well be
given only to certain date to COM
ply with the law when arrests will
take place. Chief Mclean and his
assistant, F. w. Capp, can be de-
pended upon to do their whole duty
and 1t is safe to say this ordinance
will be enforced.

strong veins have been uncovered

work has been done. Fully a dozen

as soon as an electric road is built
TO connect with the Southern Pacific
either at Grants Pass or some nearer
point. A road can be built from this
city to Almeda over route that is
within a distance of not more than
twenty miles. This road would pass
the Galice post office and accomo-
date large number of mines, and
would find an almost endless tom
