CATALOGUE OF INSULTS Venezuelan Foreign Minister Say Curacoa Is Not CHIIlwc! and In lean Holland Apologlies Amica ble Relation Impossible. WIIJEMBTAD. Curacao. Aug. 1. The news that President Castro had with drawn the e"iua.urs of all the Dutch Consul, and VK-e-Consula ,n,W"""''s until such time a, the Netherlands gov ernment apologises for the alleged insults put upon Ven-7.uel. was received In Curacao this mornln from the steamer Dagfred. . . The mall from the steamer Pae-fred contained also dtal!s of the letter ent by the Venezuelan government to the government of The Netherlands. In which Venezuela gave a list of the In juries and Insults to which she has been subjected at the hands of rhe Netherlands. This letter ! dated July ' and is from the Venezuelan Minister of' Foreign Affairs. Jose de Jsus Paul, to The Netherlands Foreign Minister. J. R. D. M. Van Pwlnderen. Did Xot Salute Torts. Senor Paul says Venezuela considers It an Insult that The Netherlands cruis er Gelderland did not salute the porta of Puerto Cabello and La Guayra on the occasion of the recent calls, in spite tar. tHat these nlaces are de- . ' A Lit" iv ...... r fended by forts. In spite of this lack of courtesy, the Gelderland was allowed to communicate with The Netherlands Consul at each place, and to take on board Minister de Reus. Furthermore, notwithstanding the refusal of the commanding officer of the Gelderland to receive on board the harbor officials of the Venuer.elan government at Puer to Cabello Bnd Iji Guayra. The Nether land! Consuls were given each a salute of seven guns. Curacao Not Civilized. Continuing. Senor Paul gives details of the occurrences at Willemstad that preceded the departure from that port of the Venezuelan Consul. Senor J-ope. comparing them with the attitude of the Venezuelan government when Min ister de Reus left Caracas. He says he considers the expulsion of Senor Lopez an evidence of lack of civiliza tion on the part of the people of YVI1 lemstad and Inability of the authorities to afford proper protection to the Con aul of a friendly nation. Asks Slicaf of Apologies. In conclusion, the Foreign Minister writes that the position taken by the colony of Curacao against Venezuela compromises the friendly relations of the two states, and demands an apol . ogy for the insults of M. de Reus to the Venezuelan nation and the Venezu elan government: for the fact that the Gelderland did not salute Puerto Ca bello and La Guayra. for the attack In Wlllemstad on the Venezuelan Cons)T. and the members of his staff and bn the Consulate, and for the desecration of the Consular shield, saying that otherwise friendly relations between the two countries are impossible. The colonial government Is In tele graphic communication with several st amshlp lines In an effort to get a ves rt to come to Curacao and take M. de Reus, the former Minister to Venezuela for the Netherlands, who was expelled by President Castro, to some point where b can take a steamer to Holland. The difficulty is that practically every steam er leavlrg here touches at a Venezuelan port and this the Minister does not deslr to do.

FOREST FIRE THREATENS CITY Only Sudden Change of Wind Saves Iklali, Cal. FKIAH. Cal.. Aug. 1. (Special.) With fire bells clanging and excited horsemen dashing through the streets, summoning aid. several hundred men turned out this afternoon to fight the forest fires that have been threatening I'kiah for two days and a night. The wind suddenly veered to the south and west late this afternoon, and gave the city a bad scare. The hills sloping down to the city on the west have been a rag ing sea of flames all night and today, making the air fairly suffocating. When the change In the wind drove th fire straight toward the town and set fire to fencing, barns and stockpens, men on horses and In wagons rushed to fight the flames. On the second alarm the fire department turned out and there was a big rush from all over town to the film ing foothills. People got out garden- hose and wet down roofs and fencing to prevent danger from flying embers. Many house, holders in the western part of the city moved their household goods out of doors, fearing destruction of their homes. Despite a hard fight, the fire caught and consumed several buildings. Back-firing saved the city from a conflagration. Tonight the whole country to the west of Vklah and three miles to the south is on fire and is Illuminated as far as the eye can see.

ANOTHER FOREST IX FLAMES lire In San Jacinto Reserve Cannot Be Checked. SAN DIEGO. Cal.. Aug. 1. At an early hour this morning fire was dis covered In the forest of Palomas Moun tain, which Is In the San Jacinto for est reservation. Forest rangers began their battle against the fire as soon as discovered, but it made headway before a strong west wind and against all their efforts, and at 11 o'clock some 200 acres of the finest trees to be found In South ern California had been destroyed. The rangers have called on all the people of that section of the country for aid, but at the time of the Inst report hope of stopping the blaze was slight. The fire started at the western side of the forest and Is burning toward garner's Hot Springs. There are many Summer campers on the mountains and the fire was probably started by care lessness on some one's part. REDDING, Cal.. Aug. 1.

FORESTS BURN IX MOXTAXA Three Construction Camps Burn and Town X'arrowly Escapes. MISSOULA. Mont.. Aug. 1.

Cruiser Sails for Honduras. HONOLULU. Aug. l.-The cruiser Mil waukee sailed for Hond.fraa at t o'clock this afternoon. OMAHA. Neb.. Aug. 1. (Special.) The card Index system of politics which Chairman Hitchcock, of the Republican National Committee, has decided to adopt for the present campaign, has been usd In Nebraska for the pasi ten years. Mr. Hitchcock has taken the Nebraska idea complete and will use it as his chief weapon In the fight to seat Taft in the Presidential chair. The card system was studied out by the late Edward Rosewater. editor Omaha Bee and the most astute politician this Western country ever saw. To his son. Victor Rosewater. head of the Repub lican party. In Nebraska and now editor of the newspaper founded by his father, was given the task of working out the details of the system which has proven so potent in the fights In which it has been used as to be made the mainstay of the Republican hosts dur ing the present National campaign.- When this card system was first In troduced In Nebraska, the state had Just given a Democratic majority of 1.1.000; ten year's later, during which time the new system had been worked out and elaborated, the state gave the Republican ticket a majority of Sfi.OOO. So much for the effectiveness of the system. It took a number of year to get this system In perfect running or der, but when It was completed, it was the most complicated thing In the way of a campaign system ever framed. The men behind the system believe they will be able to systematize the entire country In a few weeks' time, using the years of study on the part of the Ne braskans who worked out the system. Rosewater Explains It. Victor Rosewater. member of the ex ecutive committee of the Republican National Committee, and the man who perfected the Idea of the card system, has this to say of It: "With that system we can tell at a glance practically everything connected 'with any voter in the country. We have his age. his religion, his financial con dition, his friends, his secrets, and. In fact, just about everything it Is possl ble to learn of him. - "When a new man comes into i county, or when a young man becomes of age. a card goes in for him. If he gives a mortgage on his farm or his business, we note it on the card. Also, we note the holder of the mortgage. If he has any particular fad. it goes on the index card. If he is a chicken fancier, we note it. If he's a Methodist. we know It. If he's a Baptist, it goes down on the card. If his parents were foreigners, we know all about It. We know his friends and his enemies, his strength and his weakness: In fact, we know the voter thoroughly. This ap piles to Republicans, Democrats. Popu lists. Socialists all parties. All are the same to the Index. "Now then, for the application of the index. A campaign comes on and we get busy. Perhaps some of our own party are In rebellion. We get their names, look them up in our index and find who and what can influence them. We can send their friends to them, and we can send people with the same ideas on other subjects that the Insurgent holds. We can possibly send the man who holds the mortgage on his place to talk a little with him. Use Religion as Weapon. "Men of his own religion can be sent to him in fact knowing him like a book, we can send just those people who can Influence him. If we can't get him that way, he simply cannot be had. "And on election day our workers have a complete list of every voter en titled to vote in that precinct. The list is annotated In such way that the worker knows Just exactly what to do and what Is being done. Absolutely nothing is left to fhance. We know. "During the present campaign there will not be as many brass bands nor as much red fire as during the usual campaign, but the country will be gone over with a fine-toothed comb in a manner never before undertaken. It will be a campaign for the individual vote and will be the most thorough ever waged in this or any other coun try." And this is the system Chairman Hitchcock picked up out here on the plains and upon which he is depending for victory. CROPS GOOD AND HEAVY (Continued From First Page.) liberal lines of September by Barrett and Prlngle. Cash wheat premiums failed to keep pace with the advance In futures. Al though country acceptances were light on direct bid from here, the consign, ments were heavy and increasing. Buyers were therefore unwilling to follow the bulge in futures and were paying 1 cent over September for No. 2 red at the close as against Hlli cents premium yesterday. Little Export Business. A sale of 24.000 bushels hard Win ter was made here early for export, but this was quite a marked exception to the general rule. Practically all of the export bouses here said that bids were too far out of line to admit of any businesa, even before the advance In futures, and that each fractional gain made the possibility more remote. Philadelphia was trying to resell a cargo of hard Winter at U cent below the previous day's price and was un able to place it. Visible Supply Will Grow. Prospects are that Monday's state ment will show a liberal increase for the week in the visible supply. Pri mary receipts last week were over 1.000,000 bushels greater than those of a year ago. All bearish features In the situation were Ignored during the excitement that prevailed regarding crop deterioration in- the Northwestera states and Manitoba.

Is bound to arouse unparalleled interest. The mere mention of the fact that the finest selected instruments of the 'our leading and largest piano makers of the United States will be offered for sale at cut prices will be sufficient to start a stream of piano Buyers to 3."3 Washington street. The past has witnessed numerous special offerings in the piano trade. Kilers Piano House is admittedly the place where at all times the best of everything Is obtainable for less money than can be secxired at any other store or agencv.

As to the prospective price of wheat, some have mentioned 80 cents, but the money men who are Interested in handling the Western crop think that 75 cents will be a good price. Officials have also been looking over the area under oats, barley and flax, and It is stated that the yield of oats will be fully 100.000.000 bushels, and that of barley at least 25,000.000 bush els.
