Revoke De Reus Decree.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF
JACKSONVILLE, OREGON
Caracas, Oct. 14.—“The revocation
of the decree of May 14 is demanded in
the most energetic manner—the gov-
ernment of Venezuela must from this
moment and without delay fulfill the
protocol of 1894—and not prolong the
intolerable state of affairs which it
has created by the decree of May 14 "
These are the words of the minister
of foreign affairs of The Netherlands
in his note of August 20 in which he
answers Venezuela’s communication
telling of the summary dismissal of
Minister De .Reus. f[om Caracas,
Vanswinderem. the foreign mmrster
of Holland, liugan. his reply to Presi
dent Castro by acknowledging the
gravity of tliè offense committed by
M De Reus and saying «flat The
Netherlands government would have
immediately recalled him, of its own
initiative if if had seen thp offensive
pubffcatioh, but that President Castro
had taken justice into his own hands
and violating international custom by
summarily expelling the minister
without asking for his recall.
The note goes on to say that after
the renewal of friendly relations is
established, “the celebration of a defi
nite treaty, of arbitration and con
stilar convention, which will be the
surest means of arriving at the de
sired end, shall be submitted to sub
sequent consideration. But the gov
ernment of Venezuela must, from this
moment, and without delay* show it
knows how to appreciate in its real
value the protocols of 1904 which form
the basis of our relations, as well as
the obligations incurred by The
Netherlands, and faithfully lived up
to, and that it does not wish fo com

the intolerable state of affairs which
it has created by the decree of
May 14.” ___________
