Castro Desires to Remain.

New York, Jan. 1l.-Cipriano Cas-
tro's hopes that he would be allowed
% ramble among the lights of Broad
way pending the decision Of the spec
ial board of inquiry at Ellis Island as
to his fitness to pay protracted visit
to these shores, were dashed today
when Judge Holt of the Federal Cir
cult Court refused to admit the former
president of Venezuela to bail. The
peppery general must abide on the
island until the board reaches de-
cision. Then, if he and his council
George Gordon Battle, decide a pro-
test against that decision, they can
appeal to the secretary of Commerce
and Labor. If satisfied, Judge Holt
said today the whole matter can be
brought into his court for hearing.

Flood in The Ohio River.

Wheeling, W.. Va, Jan. 1.-the
gravest danger of the present flood
stage along the Ohio river appeared
to have passed today, despite the fact
that there was a steady fall of rain
last night all along the river districts
from Pittsburgh south.
At s a. nl., today the river stood 81
fest, having fallen over seven feet
from the flood stage of A feet in
ches at the same hour yesterday. Dur
ing the later hours Of the night the
water had fellen six inches an hour
and it was not believed last nights
rain would cause it to go hlgher
today.
Railroads and street cars resumed

CALL FOR. AID IGNORED.
New Charge is Brought Out in In
drakuala.i

I Newport, Va, Jan. 11.-Charge:
made here that distress signals sound
ed by the steamer Indrakuala; follow.
ling her collision with the steamer
Luckenbach, in which the latter YES.
Sci was sunk off Tahgier Island q
week ago, promise to give an unex.
tpected turn to the official inves:iga.
ton into the wreck.
The inquiry is still delayed by the
inability of the Indrakuala to pro-
ceed here from the Rappahannock
river, where she was forced to drop
anchor by high WINS, which made her
further movement dangerous.
The Indrakuala, in se.ious danger of
sinking, was moved farther UP the
river yesterday, and it is uncertain
when the vessel can be: brought here.
According to the charges made con-
cerning the failure of nearby vessels
to respond to the 1ndrakuala's calls
for aid, at least score Of steamers
passed during the % hours following
the wreck without giving heed to the
signals which Captain Smith caused
to be sounded continually. Light sig
nails hoisted by the Indarkuala were
also ignored, it is alleged.
1t is probable that the masters of
vessels which are alleged to have
passed during the time the Indra-
kuala was signaling for help will be
summoned for examination.
The present condition of the Indra-
kuala bears out the claim that the YES
sci was in danger of sinking after the
collision with the Luckenbach and that
Captain Smith, after lowering life
boats to rescue the Luckenbachs
crew, was forced to run his own ship
ashore.

a 30-degree port list, the British
steamer. Alcazar, from Hayti, to
Chester, Pa, with cargo of dye
wood, limped into the shipyard yes
terday after thrilling sea experience.
Twice aground on the coast once
abandoned by her cl.sw. she again
threatened to dash to pieces on Black
Diamond Shoals Thursday about noon.
Engine troubles left her helpless in
the wind and high seas, and she
drifted rapidly toward the rocky
shore, until her crew gave up hope of
saving the ship or their own lives.
An outward passenger steamer pass
ed. The Alcazar signalled for help,
and asked if she could tow. The
steamer replied that she was unable
to tow, and steamed out to sea. 1t
was shortly after this that the Alca-
zar's engines again started working,
when she was within a mile of the
rocks.

TO GET SWELL TRADE.
Strike of Walters Causes Fear of the
Scenes Akin to Those at Lucretia
Borgias Banquet.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE cheap res
taurants and "beanerie:" hereto fore
not particularly interested in the ho-
tel cooks and walters strike, hoped to-
day for rush of "swell trade" follow
ing the public admonition of Joseph j
Ettor, l. w. W., leader, to mass
meeting of the strikers concerning
what they should dc TO the food pre-
pared at the hotels in the event that
they should be forced to go back to
work without getting their demands.
Ettor urged them, if they returned to
work under those conditions, ''to go
back with their minds made up that
it is the unsafest thing in the world
for the capitalist to eat food pre-
pared and served by members OF your
union"
So long as the patronage of the big
hotels and restaurants continues una
bated even under uncomfortable con-
d;tions Of service, the strikers feel
they have no chance to win against
the employers. With Ettor's astonish-
ing injunction in mind, it is thought
the average "diner out" in New York
will look raskance upon the food he
orders hereafter in any of the places
affected by the strike.

Pension Bill Attacked.

It was brought out in debate in the
House yesterday that James L. Daven-
port. United Staes Commissioner of
Pensions, has been drawing a pension
of SIG month from the government
since July Is. 1886. Attention was di-
rectcd to the fact by Representative
Rodenberry Of Georgia, who bitterly
opposed the pension omnibus bill. Mr..
Roddenberry offered an amendment to
the measure reducing Commissioner
Davenport's pension to 81 month.
Mr.. Roddenberry charged Mr. Daven
port enlisted in a Wisconsin regiment
near the close of the war "when the
government was paying high boun-
ties" The Georgian insisted that the
altruistic IDEA of the pension system
was entirely overlooked when a man
WIS paid a gratuity of S16 month
who at the same time received salary
of $4,000 a year as government Of
ficial.
Messrs. Roddenberry and Tribble
stuck to the flibuster manfully and
kept the House in session until after s
o'clock.
Debate having been exhausted at
that hour under the rules, Represen-
tativa Russell, of Missouri. who was
in charge of the bill moved that the
bill be passed. By that ime les sthan
100 members were in their seats. Mr..
Roddenberry rose majestically from
his seat and made the point of mo
quorum" Those interested in pen
sions groaned. AS most Of the men,
bers had left for their homes. the
house was forced to adjourn, with the
pension bill still laying on the calen-
dar.

Roumania- Bulgarian Con-
troversy to be at Stand
still Till Monday.
ADRIANOPLE is ISSUE.
Situation Said to be Acute-Question
Overshadows Turkish War-Peace
Of Europe Menaced.

London, Jan. 1l.-The Turkish Bal
kan negotiations and the Roumania-
Bulgarian controversy were at a
standstill today and nothing was ex-
pected to develop before Monday.
There was no session Of the ambassa-
doris, who adjourned last night until
Monday morning and that no move in
, the peace conference was anticipated
was evidenced by the fact that DR.. Da-
neff, the Bulgarian plenipotentiary
went to Oxford for the day.
Before leaving town Dr. Daneff ex-
planned that the negotiations conduct
ed by him and the Roumanian envoy
were ..'journed until Monday. The
Bulgarian admitted that the situation
wa: grave, but insisted that the con-
ference was amicable and that a sat-
isfactory settlement confidently was
expected
In the absence of the Bulgarian
diplomat, the Roumanian minister
called at the Foreign Office and in
formed Sir Edward Grey, British Sec
retary Of State for Foreign Affairs
that the negotiations were progressing
amicably. He denied emphatically that
Roumanian had issued an ultimatum,
and his sattment was confirmed by
DR.. DanefF as, he was going away.
Dispatches from Constantinople
SAID that the ambassadors of the great
powers there had finally succeeded in
drawing up note to be presented to.
the Porte. 1t was characterized as
"colorless," by the correspondents
The note merely advises Turkey to
give up Adrianople, and mentions no
alternative.
In diplomatic circles, Adrianople is
now being referred to as the "new
Alsaze-Lorraine."
Berlin, Jan. 1l.-Despite the opti-
mis- ic dispatches eminating from Lon
don, belitting Roumanian- Bulgarian
territorial imbroglio the Germans to-
day believed the situation to be most
acute. 1t was feared that the Balkan
situation now seriously menaced the
peace of Europe.
Dispatches from Vienna, Sofia, and
Buc'lare:t said that the Roumanian
question completely overshadowed the
Turkish war in the public mind. 1t
was said that Austria Hungary, in
stead of demobilizing her troops, was
calling to colors more reservists. The
dual monarchy, it was said, was in
sympathy with Roumania, and this
was disquieting because it was known
that Russia would back Bulgaria.
Some professed to believe that Rou-
mar ia, in her demand for Bulgarian
territory was being egged on by Turk
ish secret diplomacy, the Porte thus
hoping to escape with smaller sacri-
fee of territory under cover of the
new war cloud.
