NO RESISTANCE OFFERED Crew Accepts Fate and Officers Put Ashore Xetherlands Rends a Cruiser After Torpedo-Boats of Southern Republic. WIT.LEMSTAD. Dec 15. The Dutch tattlr.h!p Jacob van Heemskerk arrived In the harbor at 8 o'clock this morning towlna aa a pr1 the Venezuelan coast guard vefwel '"23 De Mayo." Word of th capture had already been received here, and a (treat throng of peo ple lined the quava to witness the en trance of the Dutch battleship conduct ing: her capture within fhe harbor. Dutch Fl; Flying. The fla of the Netherlands had been hoisted to the peak of the captured Veneiuelan cnast-auard ship, and astern tha Dutch flar floated the Venezuelan colors. Although, tho Venezuelan flax iras atlll ehonn It was In minor con trast to the Dutch pennant flylnjr from the mainmast and foremast, on both of the warships and Its prize. Th capture of the "23 De Mayo" was effected December U. at a point a little north of Cumana. on the Gulf of Cura cao. The battleship Jacob Tan Heems krk observed the "23 Do Mayo" in the ofnn. took possession of her and sent a pr"ie crew aboard. The Venezuelan crew which had been In charco ofthe "23 De Mayo" wa sent ashore In the small boats of the captured ship. The van Heemskerk then proceeded back to tie port escorting her prize. The crew of the "23 De Mayo" made no resistance. All of the officer found on board were sent ashore with the rrew. The "23 De Mayo" waa formerly an American steamer callPd the Alliance. She belonced to a Mr. Smith, who was at one time American Consul here. She was raptured by Venezuela In lW while In distress off Maracaibo on the around that ahe was emracerl In running- contra band to the Venezuelan coast. Mr. Smith made a claim afralnst the Venezuelan rovernment for the vessel and his demand was reduced In 1903 to $2900 by the mixed commission that adjudicated various matters of this kind. (ioe After Torpedo-Boats. The Dutch cruiser Gelderland left here yesterday for the Venezuelan coast. She bad on hoard a aeaman thoroughly ac quainted with the small bays and Inlets along the Venezuelan ehore. She Is out after the torpedohoat Mar rnrita. a steel vessel of 97 tons, and armed with four three-pounders and two torpedo tubes. The vessel k supposed to be at the Island of Marirerira. The Jacob van Heemskerk will leave here tomorrow to resume her patrol serv ice on the coast. The "23 De Mayo." while classed as a eoast-ruard vessel. Is a unit of the Ven ezulan navy, but her size and strength are Inaigntflcant. She Is of IV tons and la armed with one machine gun. ' CRISIS 'IJKATS THE DUTCH" Situation at Venezuela Unusual In History of Country. WASHINGTON'. Dec. 14. The exist ence of what amounts practically to a state of war between Holland and Venezuela, the absence for the first time In many years In an acute crisis nf this kind of American warships from their proper sphere of Influence, and tho profession by the State Depart ment officials of their ignorance of the intentions of Holland ponstltute a most curious and interesting interna tional situation. The fact that America has a quarrel f her own with Venezuela and has terminated diplomatic relations with that country Rives rise to doubt as to the accuracy of the statement that this Government Is not interested In what Is R-oina; on off the coast of Venezuela. Indeed there is reason to lteiiee that while official records may fall to show the existence of any formal agreement between America and The Netherlands, the government of the latter country Is proceeding: with the tacit consent of America, to bring- to an end the chaotic conditions that have prevailed in an International sense In Venezuela for the past two years. So lona: as tho Dutch ships act strictly within the lines of the Monroe Doctrine as con strued In the annual meesajre of Pres ident Roosevelt of last year; so long as no attempt Is made to seize Vene zuelan territory for permanent occupa tion: so Jong as the Dutch warships captains confine their activities to the seizure of Venezuelan ships he block ade of rorts nnd the attempt to redress the affront to Holland's honor there will be no Interference on the part of the Vnlted States Government. Of course it is Inconceivable that this Government has not already received some assurances from Holland on this point, but It Is probably the case that these have not been reduced to writ ing. The experience of the allied pow ers who operated against Venezuela several years aco would seem to have Indicated to Holland the necessity of coming to aome understanding with the T'ntteS States before proceeding to the point of actual hostilities, which after all Is the situation on the Vene zuelan coast notwithstanding diplo matic disclaimers. Logirally. the next step will be the declaration of a blockade, and of this due notice must be given by Holland to all marttime nations In order to pre vent the lodgment of claims for un warrantable injury Inflicted upon neu tral commerce. Meanwhile the action of fhe Dutch cruisers In seizing Venezuelan ships Is calculated to have a depressing effect upon the trade of Venezuela and to discourage prospective shipments of merchandise in the present unsettled conditions. 1 CASTRO CALLS OX CHANCELLOR Leaves Card and Visit Is Returned by Councillor. BERLIN, Dec. 15. President Castro, of Venezuela, who arrived last night from Paris, called this morning on Chancellor von Buelow and Foreign Secretary von Schoen. leaving his card. The Foreign Secretary later In the day sent Councillor Ooetzch. who acted on the German In demnity Commission at Caracas in 1903, to return the call and Inquire ' concern ing President Castro"s health. The local newspapers today publish various ac counts of the luxurious living- of Presi dent Castro and party at their iotej In thJji city. . FO Examine any grand piano a few years old. Note its lack of resonance and tin-panny quality. They all pet that way on account of the inability of the soundingr-board to retain its tension WHY DOES A VIOLIN IMPROVE WITH AGE AND USE? Simply because the top of the violin retains its crown by being supported by the sounding-post, thus improving in tone each year. How long would the top-retain its crown without the soundmg-postT Sis is the trouble with pianos. WHY SHOULD NOT A PIANO IMPROVE IN TONE WITH USE AND AGE? The tone quality lasts but a few years in all grand pianos, ivery crand piano in the world, but a -Mason & Hamlin, deteriorates from the date of its completion. THE MASON & HAMLIN DOES IMPROVE BY USE. The marvelous tension resonator -discovered by Richard W. Gerts, embodied in the Mason & namlin grand pianos, is considered the most wonderful invention of its kind, by the entire piano world. Ask any dealer how the sounding-board in his so-called best piano can pos sibly retain its original tension without a "tension resonator," burdened as it is with the tremendous strain of a great number of strings bearing down upon it. Just ask him that question, nis piano cannot do it. None but the Mason & Hamlin can, as the tension resonator is patented and is used in no other piano. Two years are required to create a Mason & Hamlin upright and two and one-half years to create a grand. No other piano made require? over six months. Is it any wonder that they are the costliest in the world! Every musician, pianist, teacher and piano tuner in Portland, who has seen these pianos, has pronounced them the most beautiful and wonderful toned instruments they have ever toed or likened to. You will think the. same. This is no idle talk. EVERY STATEMENT IS AN ABSOLUTE FACT. Every great pianist, not paid by a certain manufacturer to play his piano, owns a Mason & namlin piano. Mason & Hamlin pay no artists to use or exploit their pianos. Nor will they present the crown heads of Europe with a piano for their worthless testimonials. A paid artist's testimonial is not worth the paper on which it is written. A recent visitor to Portland used in the Middle West for her concerts a certain make of piano, which she called the best; but out West another make was substituted, as the manufacturer in the first instance did not feel disposed to pay for advertising his piano in all the Western States, so her manager simply made arrangements for her to declare another piano the best, charging the manufac turer so much per state. Since the discovery of the tension resonator, Harold Bauer, Gabrilowitsch, Katherine Good son Emil Paur, Nickisch. Ganz, Kneisel, and others too numerous to mention, use absolutely no other but the Mason & Hamlin piano. They consider their artistic reputation more valu able than money. We could only secure five Mason & Hamlin pianos for 1908, and are promised no more than that number for the next year. A carload of any other make of piano can be secured on 10 hours notice. . . ' The Mason & Hamlin piano is only constructed 'for people that are willing; to pay for absolutely the best piano in the world. THE WILEY B. ALLEN CO. Three Floors, Phoenix Building.

At the opening of the second day's hearing before Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane, concerning the complaint of George S. Ixrftus that the rates on sleeplng-oar bertha are ex orbitant, a demand was made on the Pullman Company for a statement show ing the percentage of berths occupied annually by persona holding passes. The demand, which was made by Mr. Mana han, attorney for the complainant, waa vigorously opposed by Mr. Fernald for the Pullman Company. Mr. iAne ruled that the company should produce the desired Information and Instructed William Hough, assistant auditor of the Pullman Company, who had been recalled to the 6tand today, to furnish the stateroent. In response to a demand made yester day, Mr. Hough produced a statement showing the money lost by the company In refunding fares.
