TiJ MOJttxNJLKOKEGONIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1905. 3 FHANCE TO SEP AN ULTIMATUM Ready to Send Warships to Blockade the Coast of Venezuela. PATIENCE ALMOST GONE United States Will Bring: Castro to Terms by Diplomacy, but "Will "ot Block French Plans. Give Diplomatic Aid. WASHINGTON. Oct 13. American grievances against Venezuela may be set tied by diplomacy, while France, in the absence o any diplomatic relations at Caracas, may yet be compelled to resort to a show of .force. Despite the assur ances of Foreign Office officials at Paris, it is said here that the French ultimatum has been practically ready to dispatch for a week or more, and that France haa the full assent of the Washington Gov ernment to adopt an effective course against Venezuela to effect the renewal of diplomatic relations and the restora tion, of French property seized by the Caracas government. This briefly is the situation tonight. The French ultimatum will be held up until further conferences have occurred be tween the French Embassy here and the State Department. So far as Judge Cal houn, the American special commissioner. has reported to the department, there Is nothing In the situation at Caracas that cannot be settled by patient and firm diplomacy. American and French prop erty, it is contended, has been seized un justly by President .Castro, but ample precedent Is found in history' for the set tlement without resort to force of prob lems more complicated that the present issue. America Will Use Diplomacy. While not prepared to announce definite ly its exact course of action, the Washing ton Government has lot France know in formally its "belief that American griev ances against Venezuela, although severe, can be settled without the assistance of American warships. This information was not communicated with any Inten tion of forestalling a resort by France to force, but was In answer to the earnest request of the Paris government. Public opinion in France is rapidly becoming ex hausted over the delay of the govern ment In proceeding against Venezuela, and this fact necessarily acts as a spur in the conference between Paris and Washington. This Government will give France every possible assistance toward a diplomatic adjustment. A thorough understanding exists between Paris and Washington on this subject, and, even if France shall find It necessary to establish a pacific blockade against Venezuela, the Wash ington Government will offer no objec tion, having already assured itself that the Monroe Doctrine is not involved in any way. Think Castro Will Yield. In diplomatic circles the opinion Is ex- pressed that the Venezuelan President will yield before a pacltic blockade Is es tablished. The aversion on the part of France and the United States to the use of warships in this case arises from the fact that the blockading of Venezuelan ports at this time will affect not so much Venezuela as it will the creditor powers to whom a portion of the custom receipts has been awarded by The Hague tribunal until their claims shall have been paid In full. Judge Calhoun left for New York late tonight, and It is oxpected he will soon go to his homo In Chicago to finish his report. escaping the hangman's rope by breaking from Jail through the assistance of the warden's wife, and fleeing to Butler County, -where they were shot down by officers. In addition to the murder of Kahney, Brown charges himself and companions wun navmg robbed and murdered a man while or. the way from the killing of ivanney. Tne body of the second man. he said, was thrown Into tne Monongahela River. Brown also says that he and one companion murdered the third member of their party and burned the body. UNITE ON SANITATION. FRANCE MAX SHOOT AT CASTRO Only Awaits Result of Conferences at Washington. PARIS, Oct. 13. Official quarters here show growing Impatience at President Castro's failure thus far to -withdraw his i offensive action toward M. Talgny, the j French Charge d Affaires at Caracas. Although no different determination has been reached, intimations are made that the situation may not permit of indefinite dtlay, as President Castro's Inaction, amounting to a refusal to make amends. may lead French public opinion to re- qu re the government to adopt more de- c Islve measures to redress the offense. The Patrie today publishes a dispatch from L.'OrIent saying that the French cruiser Chasseloup Laubatet, which haa returned there from Newfoundland, will njt be disarmed, as was intended, "as she will make part of a division which Is going to be formed for the purpose of making a demonstration in Venezuelan waters. The cruiser haa Just completed speed trials, showing that she can steam 18 knots." The Foreign Office later gave out a categorical denial of the report that the cruiser Chasseloup Laubatet Is preparing to join a naval dlvlson going to Vene-1 zueia. The officials say that no decision whatever has been reached concerning the measures to be taken against Venezuela. These are awaiting the result of Ambas, i saaor Jusserand's conference with the au thorities at Washington. BARTLETT ON BOILERS. Commander Spends" Day Testifying on Bennington Disaster. MARE ISLAND.

An impor tant step toward the prevention of contagious diseases was taken today when the members of the International "sanitary convention accepted the 49 articles, of the Paris convention of De cember 3, 1903. with only a few modi fications, required by tho conditions In tropical countries. ine articles, which are now en grossed In Spanish and English, will be signed by the delegates tomorrow morning and, when ratified by the dir ferent South and North American gov ernments, there will be on practically all of the American continent one sys tem of quarantine and preventive measures. This Is calculated to put an end to the evil of good work in on state being undone by the negligent methods in a neighboring state. It was decided that the United States pharmacopla should be translated Into Spanish, and that a first edition of 5000 copies should be published. Dr. I. O. Howard, the entomologist of the Department of Agriculture, who has made a special study of the mo squito, read a paper on that Insect. In regard to the distance the mosqultos are able to fly out on the sea (a ques tion of great Importance when de termining how far ships under quaran tine shall stay away from shore), he stated that it has been found possible for mosquitoes to move out as far as 500 feet. "Holy water fonts in churches are often the breeding-place for the yel low fevor mosquito," Dr. Howard de clared, and the statement tvaa support ed by many of the other delegates present. He said: In many Instances the work of dlclnfeet lns i done In an absolutely useless way. Large places ef water where mosquito larvae could live are disinfected, while broken bottles which contain a little water and which form the Ideal places for breeding of the Insects are nenlected. Very little attention has been paid to the holy water fonts In the churches, though they would breed out mosqultos which would And easy victims In the people who had gone to church. In many countries salt Is put In the holy water and, though thin haa a disinfect ing powr. there Is seldom enouRh of It to make the water safe. After electing vice-presidents from among the delegates of the various countries represented, the convention elected Drs. Wyman. Moore. Liceaga, uiioa, Guitoras, RKelll, Goode. of Mo bile. Ala., and A. M. Doty, of New JTorlc, members -at a body to be known as the International Sanitary Bureau for a period of three years. This bu reau will be clothed with semi-executive and Judicial powers by the several governments and will decide upon all measures relative to International sanitary agreements. Idc Wrill Resign Very Soon. WASHINGTON. Oct 13. Manila news papers Just arrived Indicate very clearly that there are to be several changes In tho personnel of the Philippine Commission. It is stated, with a good deal of posl tlveness, that Commissioner Idc is shortly to retire on account of -advancing years. and while Governor Wright's resignation is not no directly forecasted; It Is Inti mated that he will retire himself soon after he returns to the island from his projected visit to Washington, in Decem ber. Commissioner Ide would thus bo allowed to serve for a few months, as Governor of the Islands, which he Is ambitious -to do before himself quitting the service. These papers go so far as to Intimate that other changes in the personnel of the American members of the Commission are possible as an incident to a general reconstruction of tho Commission. Want Derailing Switch. A resolution was adopted by the streets committee of the City Council yesterday requesting the authorities of Multnomah County to make proper provision for derailing switch on the car track of the Morrison-street bridge. It appears that when the bridge was built no provision was mode for the derailment of cars, al though all the other bridges nave been so arranged. Morgan Aids Earthquake Victims. ROME, Oct. 13.
