ll THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1903. InnHIHir n 1 nr nrniTI C 1 uKlvlNu BALK KtBtLb I CASTRO IS BUSY KILLING OFF THE REAH-FIUE. Bowen Will Start Home Sunday De nied Tliat France Will Join Block ade Her Claims Secured. CARACAS. Jan. 9. As It will be Impos sible to have the documents setting forth the Venezuelan case ready for delivery to Minister Bowen before midnight of Sat urday, Mr. Bowen will not leave here for "Washington before Sunday. He will sail from La Guayra on the Dolphin. The port of Tucacas was reoccupied yesterday by a force of the Venezuelan government after a fight wnn tne revolu tionists of one hour's duration. Tucacas has lately been the point where much of the goods and ammunition smuggled over from the Island of Curacao have been landed. The revolutionists succeeded in holding the English railroad running, out of Tucacas for five hours. At the end of that flme the government forces oc cupied the line. The government is more active In pur suing the rebels. Another engagement has taken place near Coro and resulted In the routing of the enemy. Octavo Mer ques and ISO men were taken prisoners. The revolutionary force under General Matos, which was defeated last Sunday near Guatiro, has dispersed. The march of the rebels upon Caracas via Guatiro has been completely checked. The statement that France, owing to the failure of the Venezuelan government to pay the first installment of the claims due her, would probably join the other powers in blockading the coast, is not true. France will not at present participate In the blockade. The rumor, that she will probably do so arose from the fact that the convention of 1902 between France and Venezuela for the settlement v of the French claims incurred prior to May 23, 3899, stipulates the payment of $200,003 within one year. As a matter of fact this period of one year Is to be reckoned from the date upon which the French Minister to Venezuela presents his cre dentials at Caracas. The French Min- ister has not yet arrived here. It can "be said with authority that the French colony here has asked the home ' government not to take aggressive action lagainst Venezuela. M. Quleveroux, 'French charge d'affaires in Caracas, yes terday obtained from the Venezuelan gov ernment, without the employment of threats, the assurance that all the French claims incurred after 1899 would receive. when presented, the same treatment as is accorded to the claims of the allies by j virtue of the most favored nation clause in the treaty between France and Vene zuela. CASTRO IX HARD STRAITS. France May Join Blockade and Reb els Gain Strength. NEW YORK, Jan. 9. France probably will Join the European powers In the blockade of the Venezuelan coast, says the World's Port of Spain correspondent. for the reason that Venezuela has failed to make the first payment of 200.000 due on the French claim on December 3L Venezuela also owes the French Cable Company J20.000, and the company refuses to extend credit to the government. President Castro Is deeply lncensed.HIs attempts to "borrow money from the Bank of Venezuela have failed. The govern ment already owes that Institution $2,000, 000. President Castro's next step will be to force a loan from the merchants. The better element In Venezuela Is urging him to give up his office His resignation has been publicly demanded In, a speech de livered in tfaaPlaza. It Is impossible for I him to hofd power beyond February. xtckips are sleeping in uie piazas oi tne capital, in expectation of an attack. The foreign bankers are waiting for a change in the government before negotiating any loan. General Matos, the leader of the revolu tion, in a public letter guarantees a satis factory settlement with the allies within 24 "hours after he is Inaugurated -President of Venezuela. He asserts that Castro delays the settlement in the hope of unitlrg the people. There Is hunger now and there will be I starvation later. Several hundred Idlers at La Guayra have gone to join the revo lutionists. The situation is deplorable. President Castro conceals and the censor stops all unfavorable news. There Is a rumor that on Friday the I allies will cut the cable, and then land and seize the Custom-House. REPLY IS ACCEPTABLE. Allies Kbvc Discus Time of Raisins the Blockade. LONDON, Jan. 9. President Castro' reply to the .powers accepting the arbltra- Itlon condition of the allies was delivered to the Foreign Ottlce this afternoon by Craig Wadsworth, third secretary of the United States Embassy. Mr. White, the Charge d' Affaires, is ill, and has been in the country most of the week. The reply is recorded as having much more finality than ixpected, and as definitely settling the submission of all the difficulties to arbitration- It was said at the Foreign Office that President Castro's reply was entirely ac ceptable to Great Britain. The question of the t!cne for raising the blockade of the Venezuelan coast has not been de cided, but is now being discussed between London and Berlin. 1 .int Gained for Arbitration. LONDON, Jan. 9. Speaking at Stirling last evening. Sir Henry Campbell-Banner- xnan. Liberal leader In the House of Com' mons, said he rejoiced that the Venezue- lan dispute was not to be referred to any person or potentate, however, prominent. but to The Hague tribunal. He said this I step would establish the Important prece dent that In a dispute which had attracted the attention- of the whole world to the two greatest powers. Great Britain and Germany, had shown readiness to use this inachlner. Dutch Warship Sent Out. THE HAGUE, Jan. 9. In view of the events In Venezuela, the Dutch cruiser Holland has been ordered to remain in West Indian waters, and the battleship De Reuter is proceeding to Curacao. v LONG STEP TO SETTLEMENT. Castro's Reply Considered Satisfac tory at Berlin. BERLIN, Jan. 9. President Castro's ac ceptance of the arbitration conditions of the allied powers was received today at the Foreign Office, where It Is regarded as being a long step toward a settlement of the questions in dispute. The Foreign Office hopes that most of the points will be arranged amicably at the preliminary discussion at Washington before reaching i The Hague arbitration court. American Malls for Venezuela. NEW YORK, Jan. 9. During the contin uance of the Venezuelan blockade the steamers of the Red D line .will not run to Caracas. Venezuelan malls will be car, ried by the Porto Rico line to San Juan. I.p. R.. and thence by a small vessel of the same line to Curacao from which place they will be taken to Venezuelan ports by a United States warship. More British Ships Arrive. LA GUAYRA, Jan. 9. The British cruiser Ariadne and the British torpedo, boat destroyer Rocket arrived here this afternoon. 38? For Plans of Art Congress. 8T. LOUIS, Jan. 9.

Parkor. the London resident representative of the World's Fair, has arrived from England. He will remain In the city several days to inspect the site of the fair and the progress of Great Brit ain's preparations for an exhibit. LIKE JEAN VALJEAN. Fear That Publicity Will Harden Little Herbert Mundcll. i PORTLAND, Jan. 9. (To -the Editor.) The story of Jean Valjean, the hero of Victor Hugo's great novel, "Les Mlsera bles." it tjeems to me, finds" a counterpart In the arrest and Incarceration of the little blue-eyed Herbert J. Mundcll, now locked up In our County Jail. Jean Valjean, the only support of a widowed sister with a large family of children, found himself unable to secure employment to earn enough bread to keep the wolf from the door of his dependent charges. Passing a baker shop and seeing the loaves that he could not buy, in sheer desperation he smashed a window and helped himself. For this crime he was sent to the galleys, and on one charge and another was held in bondage for 20 years, until the Injustice of the first sentence, together with the brutal treatment of criminals of that age, resulted in a thoroughly hardened crim inal, but who at last was redeemed by the holy life and wise conduct of a priest. Such things were possible before How ard and Wllberforce and other prison re formers pointed out the sin and folly of such treatment of the criminal classes. But to cross the intervening years Into the light of the 20th century and find, at least In the case before us, that we seem to have advanced but little beyond the days of Jean Valjean gives one cause for shame. What the real purpose of The Orogonlan article of January S may have been we do not know, but we do know that many hearts protested against the publicity given to this poor boy's fault. who. like Jean Valjean, saw that which others enjoyed and saw the happy Christ mas time pass, and he, unable to enter Into the universal Joy of the hour, took that which did not by right belong to him; not so much for himself, as It ap- gift-33 cents' worth of candy a little more than the worth of Valjean's loaf. Yet, carted hundreds of miles across coun try, "held In the strong arm of the Fed eral law." as The Oregonian puts It. is not a fjpectacle to make glad the heart of one who knows the tendency of such treatment to result, not In reformation, but In social and moral demoralization. Who can look upon the sad, downcast face in the article referred to without a sense of regret that so young a boy should have his name and face paraded before public gaze, virtually branding the lad for life and perhaps giving society cause to trem ble later on? That the boy should be made to feel the enormity of his blunder all will agree. But if this crime had been committed against private property and only 35 cents lost, I am sure some other method with out such publicity would have been adopt ed. Is the great Government of the United States less considerate for the fu ture welfare of its coming citizen? J. J. WALTER. It was news fit to be printed, was It not? It was of public Interest and proper mat ter "for the public to be Informed of, was It not? Then why should anybody wonder at Its appearance In The. Oregonian? The story was Intelligently told, there was no sermonizing, no sensationalism about It It was a record of a very unusual occur rence, and no good could come from sup pressing it. On the other hand, much good may result from giving the matter pub licity. It Is not the province of The Ore gonian or any other newspaper to tell merely of what ought to be. The world will have Its own way, and It Is the busi ness of a newspaper to tell what happens. "The Oregonian printed the story about the boy because it was perfectly legitimate. news, and it already promises to result in more good to the community than any thing else that has appeared for some time. Even the preachers would, have known nothing of the boy's pathetic story, his great mistake, his timid frankness of confession, his downcast eye and his re gret and wretchedness, but for the pub licity thus given. This knowledge Is of greater benefit to the people at large than a hundred sermons would be, because the moral Is so plain that It does not need to be pointed out. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. . " Birth.

Knew Where $SO,000,000 Was Hidden In Palace of Fckln, but McICInlcy Forbnde Him to Takc It. NEW YORK. Jan. 10. If President Mc Kinley had not forbidden it. General Adna R. Chaffee admitted in an address at the Hamilton Club, In Brooklyn, where he was the guest of honor at a dinner In commemoration of the birthday, of Alex ander Hamilton, he would have seized treasure worth 580,000,000 when he was In command of the American troops In China. He knew exactly the location of this treasure in the Forbiddon City and had planned to take possession of it. he said, when the President vetoed the proposi tion. It was his Intention to hold out any amount that might be settled upon as a proper indemnity and return the remain der to the Chinese government. "We and the Japanese had the honor of guarding the gate to the Forbidden City," said General Chaffee, "and we have had to endure the mortification of having been charged with allowing a great amount of looting, but it is a fact that the Forbidden City was not looted to the amount of 5500. ' "Within those walls, however, was the greatest treasure in the Chinese Empire, Including the Jewels of the Empress Dow ager. So great was its volume that It took 109 Chinese soldiers 20 days to trans port it from the Winter Palace to the house where It was secreted. This was done by night, the soldiers taking round-, about and little-used streets to reach their destination, and if it had not been for the enterprise of an Vmerlcan, whom I will not name, and for the venality and greed of the Chinese soldier in command of the proceeding, tho secret might never have become known. "As it was, I was fully Informed as to all the particulars. I even had a map of the Forbidden City, with the location of the house where the treasure was con cealed plninly marked on it, and at a moment's notice I could have seized the entire amount, had not my hands been ueu- POLICEMAN AS BANKER. He Taken Care cf Another Drunken Mkii'm Money. For carrying concealed weapons, Tom Cowing, who professes to be a special police officer of Oregon City, was last night locked up in the City Jail. He came to Portland wearing his star and armed with a revolver, and attempted to run Whltechapel. According to Cantain Holman. a police officer has no more right to conduct himself in a disorderly manner than any other man, and his star proved to be no protection. His first step was to Imbibe a quantity of fighting whisky. The fluid had the de sired effect, and In a short time he was ready for all comers. Soon he met Rob ert Koeland, who had $S3. and didn't like to carry it about after night Cowing ex hibited his star, which convinced the man that he could carry the money In safety, and he turned It over to the supposed of ficer for safekeeping. The worthy police man, however, was fond of Portland whisky and continued to drink from -the sparkling cup. Keeland wasn't so sure that a drunken man was the sort of fellow to act as a banker, and asked for his money back. This proposition was not agreeable, and Cowing refused to return the coin. He went his way spending mon ey at every turn. Kcelyid. became aiarmea ana went 10 tne ponce station to ask for help. "Look up the officer on the beat," said Captain Holman, "and he will help you to get your money." Officer Carpenter was soon found, but the Oregon City policeman couldn't see why be should be dictated to by an or dlnary cop. He not only refused to trlve the man his money, but abused Carpenter in a way that no white man can enjoy. "We'll go to the station,' said Carpen tcr, but again there was a protest. By this time the Portland custodian of the peace had lost all patience with his fellow-officer of Oregon City, and treated him in the same manner as he would an ordinary criminal. Without losing any time., he marched him to the station and laid the case before the Captain. If Cow ing had been abusive before, he wasn't in earnest, for at this stage of the perform ance he used some language that the Captain did not know was In the diction ary, and gave him ..to understand that special officers of Oregon City were not to be trifled with by Portland policemen. He was bolder in his talk, however, than In his actions, fpr he readily consented to give lyecland his $S5. The Captain took the money and was writing out a-receipt when the alleged "special" decided to try a little gun play. He had become so angered at Carpenter for disturbing his night of revelry that he could not contain himself. Carpenter, thinking that the trouble was over. turned his back and started toward the sink in the corner of the station to wash his hands.- Quick as a flash. Cowing wheeled about and put his hand in his hip pocket. Jailer Johnson, whose long ex perience has taught him to read a man's thoughts by looking In his eye, had be come suspicious the moment the man was taken into the station, and had kept close to him. As he put his hand in his hip pocket, the jailer caught a glimpse of the gun. With one jump he had him by the arm and wrenched the gun from his grasp. A charge was then entered- against the young cop from tho town by the falls and he spent his night sobering up In the City Jail. The officers are not sure that he is an Oregon City officer, but they say that, if he were the Chief of Police, he would not be allowed to run any gun play" on them. They say, further, that they are not thoroughly convinced that a policeman of another city Is authorized to act as a .banker for Portland drunks. Trouble In Bicycle Trust. NEW YORK. Jan. 9. A local newspaper asserts that the struggle for control " of the American Bicycle Company and the opportunity to reorganize It has assumed an unusual degree of bitterness, inasmuch as it haa become a question whether President "R. B. Coleman shall continue In charge of the company's affairs or be succeeded by Colonel A. A. Pope, whose friends ao3ert that the company's affairs have been mismanaged, says a Times Bos ton dispatch. The opposition to the Reed committees, of which Mr. Coleman and Edwin Gould are members, is understood to hold between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 of the $9,000,000 bondd outstanding. It has not yet proposed a plan of reorganization. Boring Xew OH Well. NEWBERG. Or.. Jan. 9. (Special.) The Yamhill Coal & Oil Company started a new well near their old one, four miles west of town, yesterday afternoon.

In the old well they had reached a depth of nearly 1100 feet. Output of Reading; Mines. READING. Pa., Jan. 9.

Considerable interest Is manifested In this part of the county relative to the matter of asking the Southern Pacific to connect the West !de" and Yamhill divisions by building from La Fayette to St. Joe, a distance of not more than two miles and a half. Should this Improvement .in the service be made, it would give Newberg direct connection with the county scat, which itlzcns have long wished for. A petition. Is being signed to this effect by the busi ness men of Newberg and other towns in terested, asking the railroad company to make the chance. Shah Sends Minister to Mexico. LAREDO, Texas. Jan. 9.

Several citizens who were in the Engineer's Office yesterday became en gaged In an animated discussion on this subject. One of them said the city needed an Inspector of bulldintrs more than an Jnspcctor of wiring. It was very Import ant mat tnero snouid De such an Inspect or, now that the city was growing so rapidly, and high buildings were being erected. Another said there was a long ordinance defining the fire limits, which contained numerous provisions In regard to the erection of buildings, and he pro duced a pamphlet entitled, "Building Or dinances the City of Portland," with a running title at the heads of tho pages. "Building Inspector's Hand-Book." There appcared to be provisions for everything: necessary, except a building Inspector. One remarked that If such an Inspector was appointed, he would need several deputies, as he would have a great deal The f " San Fra.ncisco, Cax. jM i lj Kp j Louisville, Ky. New York, N. Y.

My husband spent hundreds of dollars to get me well, and all the medicine that the doctors prescribed failed to do mo any good ; I resorted to an operation which the physician said was necessary to restore me to health, but I suffered more after it than I did before ; I had hemorrhages of the womb that nothing could seem to stop. " I noticed one of your advertisements and wrote you for advice, I re ceived your fepVy and carefully followed all instructions. I immediately bean to get stronger, and in two weeks was about the house. I took eight bottles of Iydia"E.

It was stated that the Chief of the Fire Department and his dis trict deputies are ex-offlclo buildlncr in- spectors, but they attend principally to . chimneys, fire-escapes, standplpes. and are not really building inspectors, and have but little knowledge in regard to the construction of buildings. It seems some Distinctive Value of Sjrrup"of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The requisite knowledge of what a laxative should- be and of the best means for its production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid, or the robust man. Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principle's of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system, when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of 'Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is therefore afl. important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. what strange that the city has not yet been provided with a building inspector, when there are so many wanting pffices wno are quaunea ror tnis one. Tnere is a fire warden appointed by the insurance companies, who looks after their Inter ests in connection with the construction and repair of buildings.
