DEREUS' REPORT
Action Against Castro De
pends on Advice of Ex
Minister. NAVY ANXIOUS FOR WAR
PoeMbillty of Active Service Please.
Blockade of Coast Likely In
lees Venezuela Effects
Compromise.
THE HAGl'E. Auk. :2. Holland's ac
tion against Venezuela and the text o
her note to President Castro will depend
largely upon reports of M. De Reus, former
Dutch Minister to Venezuela, who was
expelled by Castro, makes -to the govern
menL He Is exDected to arrive here next
Monday.
M. Van Swlndrne, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, wlii consult with M. De Reus be
fore the government takes further steps
In the matter. The ex-Minister's arrival
Is eagerly awaited here.
The press and public of The Netherlands
take the Venezuelan affair most calmly,
Kaval officers are most Interested In it
and express pleasure at the possibility of
seeing active service. The government.
however, thinks there is a chance that the
difficulty may be patched up by dip
lomacy.
A blockade of the Venezuelan coast. If
it U undertaken, will not be done for
some time, because the adoption of pant
live measures will depend upon the tenor
of President Castro's reply to Holland's
rf presentations.
FRANCE MERELY TO IjOOK OX
Wilt Let Holland Attend to Spank
ing of Castro.
PARIS. Aug. 22. Although France is
watching with interest the developments
of the Holland-Venezuelan situation.
owing to her own troubles with the South
American republic, it can be raid au
thoritatively that she does not intend to
mix in any way in the present contro
versy.
If the I'nlted States, as the recognized
corrector of Venezuela, has transferred
the power of punishment to Holland
Holland is quite capable of acting, and
France will be a sympathetic spectator.
There Is some conviction here in well
informed circles that it would be unwise
for Holland to land troops in Venezuela,
as this action would immediately be the
signal for patriotism and result In the
uniting of the Castroltes and those who
oppose Castro for' the defense of trie
country. It is believed an effective
blockade would be more potent and sue-
cessful.

currences in connection with the quaran

mates for a gravity water supply from
the headwaters of the Umatilla River, is
entirely shut out of the river supply un
less the Wenaha Company permits the
city to file on the water supply. There

aition of the company filing on all the
available water and power sites a few
days in advance of the city sending an
engineer to the Upper Umatilla River to
locate a wflter supply. The power sites
will be-used to-furnlsh electric light ar.d

Polns Children by Mistake.
rOLl'MBL'S, O., Aug. 22. The mis
take of Mrs. Walter Starkey, of Grove
port, in using arsenic instead of bak
ing powder in preparing a pot pie cost
the lives' of her two young children
last, night. Both Mr. and Mrs. Starkey
at the present day. Marie Antoinette
was a patron and Clementi in England
and Mozart in Germany introduced the
Instrument.
What a story in the unfolding of
this art: First Apollo, bow in hand,
then a Monk offering to God his key
board. Bach, the guest of Fredertck
the Great, is playing the harpsichord.
Mozart points out changes that could
he made to improve the instrument.
Groat changes have taken place when
vears later Christofori Is explaining:
his invention to Duke Ferdinand.
Finally the scene changes to Amer
ica. In' Boston in 1823 was completed
the first piano in this country by tha
voung inventor, whose name stands
for all that Is perfect In piano build
ing and bears th greatest honors in
the musical world Jonas Chickering,
