ULl LJ CASTRO S QUARRELS Font" Technical Wars on His Hands at Once and Worry inff Him Not at All Tells United States to Go To, and It Goes, Some. By FRKHERIO J. RASKIN. (Copyright. 1008. by Frederic J. HaskltO Washington. D. C. Aug. 19. Technic ally at war with four nations, the re public of the United States of Venezuela In actually more rannull and peaceful than ever before In Its history. In the yea of the world a freebooter and a tyrant. Clprlano Castro 'at home la the one great man who has given Venezuela a semblance of Internal peace and or der. Under Castro's leadership, Ven ezuela has violated every ordinance and convention of International propriety. Yet Castro's diplomacy has been uni formly successful, from the Venezuelan point of view. f Just now there are no dlploniatlo re lations between Venezuela and the Uni ted States. France, The Netherlands or Colombia. The Dutch quarrel assumed the proportions of a war cloud, and the Dutch navy has been making demonstra tions In West Indian waters. The French quarrel Is but one of a long succession of ruptures, this one being' precipitated by the personality of the French rep resentative in Caracas. The Dutch quarrel had many causes, the graves being the Dutch minister's publication, of an article reflecting upon Venezuola and Castro's Indifference to the spread of tvuhonlc nine-lie. which seriously threatened the neighboring Dutch island of Curacao. The quarrel with Colombia Is an ancient feud or cnnrnciensua atiii-American origin and history. Even an Ingrate Has Memory. Ho far as Venezuela la concerned, its most serious quarrel Is with the United Plates of America. Every i.ar.in-Am-nrnn ciuntrv leans to some extent up on tlie arm of the powerful "republic of the north." as our country is Known south of Mexico. The Monroe Doctrine. whiri t.atArA fhn numose 'of this na tion to protect the weaker ropubllcs of the western world, was proinuisaieu m a time when the T.nltod ..States Itself was a weakling. It was vitalized and emphasized many years later when this country risked a third war with Kng land in defending the interests of en eziiela The Venezuelans remember these things, even If they have no grat itude, and they depend much upon the Monroe Doctrine. The state department softly declares that tho cessation of diplomatic rela tions between this country and Venez uela wns not a hostile rupture, but rather a withdrawal of representation, signifying displeasure. To those who have no mind for splitting hairs betwixt nor' and nor'east, the diplomatic situa tion is J list this: Venezuela refused to accede to the demands of the United States for arbitration of some claims and for the rearbltrntlon of another. After more than two years of fruitless endeavor, the American government showed its indignation by withdrawing Its legation from Caracas and ending diplomatic relations. Two weeks later Castro replied in kind, said "You're an other!" and withdrew his representative from Washington. And there you are. Vetoaar Settle Nor Fight. When this quarrel first started, John flay, secretary of state, thought to bring things to a head. Ho said. In substance, to President Castro, "Arbitrate or fight." Castro replied, In substance, "I'll do neither." And he hasn't. As a matter of fact, the most bellicose feature of the American Venezuelan quarrel has been the some what embittered controversy In the United States between former Assist ant Secretary of State francs i ti. Ixomls and former Minister Herbert V. Bowen, between rival asphalt con cerns, and between press agents In spired bv rival Interests. Ons faction declares that Castro Is th wickedest man on earth, an Andean cattle thief who has made himself a dictator In opposition to the will of his people and In defiance of every law of deTency. Another line of press nti snda mit literature which rte- asked for a reopening and resubmission to arbitration of the claim of the Ori noco Steamship cotnnnny ! for an Inter national arbitration to Investigate the rights of the Nsw York and Herniudes Asphalt company and to establish jte losses occasioned bv Injustice dune to that company; for an arbitration hy The Hague or other International tribunal of the contentions arising out of the con tracts and concessions of the Orinoco corporation and other oouosrna enjoying rights under the Fitzgerald concession; for a withdrawal of opposition to the Crlohfleld concession or arbitration of the ease; and for Indemnity for the ex pulsion of A. V. Jaurett, an American eltlserf. from Venezuela. Behind eacn one of these' five claims Is a history which fills volumes with contradictory, confusing and controveraal disputations. The most Interesting and Important esses are those of the New York and Hermudes Asphalt company. whose r roper ty was seized by Venezuela arter he company had spent IMS, 000 to aid a revolution against Castro led by Gen eral Mates; and the Orinoco Steamship company claim, which has been once passed upon by a court, of arbitration. no tact mat tne united Htates rtruwi COLORED III III BUSIUESS National Convention at Bal timore of Those Who Have Made Good. (Jolted Press Laaaett Wire.) Baltimore. Md., Aug. 1.

More than 60( delegates from various parts or the country are present. The uatherltiu was called to order In the Sharp Street Memorial Methodist Episcopal church this morning by the president. Hooker T. Washington of Tus- kegee Institute. After an Invocation and several selections of musle the mem bers of the league were officially greet ed on behalf of the state of Maryland, the city of Baltimore and the local ne gro business men. These formalities concluded the league entered upon the real business of the convention. The gathering will be in session three days and during, that time the welfare and progress of the race will be ex haustively discussed by negroes whose success in business and professional fursults has qualified them to speak on be subject. The league, as Its name Indicates, concerns Itself strictly with the "negro In business," and excludes other subjects. The reports that the present convention will give an official expression of Its views In regard to the presidential contest now on are pro nounced to be without foundation by the officers and leading members of the league.

That gentleman's government agreed to arbitrate everything wnn everybody. Bo it happened tnat in tne summer u 190.1 there were ten full International arbitration commissions assembled In Caracas, not to mention another set of French commissioners. Arbitration was the order of the day. Among other claims presented was that of the Ori noco Stcamshlo company. It asked for a Judgment for 11. 401, 599.03. The ques tion rinauy got up to ur. Harry narge. the Dutch umpire selected bv the queen of Holland. He granted the company per cent of Its claim, or lii,t.. The company was not satisfied, and neither was the American government Therefore tho Washington authorities Immediately nsked for a revision of the case, alleging that certain grave ami gross errors were committed In the original trial. Tho American govern ment has ever since Insisted upon the reopening of this case, and Castro has declined. Castro Ufuses to Reopen. When the American minister, W. W. Russell, gave a receipt for money paid over to the United States to satisfy American claims, he expressly declared that no money received wmild be ap plied' to the payment of the Orinoco Steamship company award. The Castro government replied that It didn't care what the American government did with fha-monev. that Venezuela would pay the total amount as awarded by the mired commissions, and that Its anxiety about the matter would cease with that payment. The American minister was reminded In that correspondence of how John Hav had refused point blank to reopen, at the request of Salvador, a case which had been arbitrated with that country. Mr. Hoot In pressing his claims had already gently called attention to the fact that the United States once con sented to a reopening of an arbitrated case at the request of Venezuela Itself, sotting aside the arbitral award of the commission of 1S66, consenting to a fresh arbitration, and abiding by Its de cision, which saved the government of Veneimnla over 1 1.000. 000.

' To, summarize briefly. the United Btafes has five claims which ft has bee-j UtjFlnK trpnn the government of Vene- 1 ne wasnintcton ruela is abiding by it One of tha Stiontfest Claims. The claim f the Orinoco Steamship company, which the jjutcti umpire cut to d per cent, is one or tne oesi sup- norted of the American claims. 1 lie company was organized In New Jersey in 1901: and succeeciea to ine rigius 01 an English company which was tour vears older. This company has the right of exclusive navlg-ation of certain navi gable courses of the Orinoco river. This right was terminated by an evocuttve decree of Venezuela in 1900. The chief claim for damages is based on the in jury caused by the breaking of the con tract by the decree of October 5, 1900, which was promulgated nearly two vears before the American company was In existence. But as the English com pany transferred Its claims against Venezuela among Us other assets, and as the protocol of arbitration expressly Included the consideration of all claims "possessed'' bv citizens of the united States, the American government took up the case at once. Castro Asks Wfeat's th Use 7 The contention of the American gov ernment for a revision of the arbitral awafrd in this case is the chief argu ment used by Castro in opposition to arbitration. So far as he is concerned, arbitration hasn't kept htm out of trouble. In 1902 his ports were block aded by three of tho great powers. A year later hn arbitrated his disputes with all nations and was at peace. Within two years, by whose fault let the records tell, Castro was again in a quurrel with almost every nation on earth. And now he Is threatened with actual war by Holland, by that peaceful little nation whose capital at The llngue has been agreed upon by all the powers' and Andrew Carnegie as the most ap propriate roost for the dove of peace.

The Hunk of Kngland lowered Its rates to 5 per cent In July, but with the expectation that It may advance rates gradually to 4 per cent. A reason for this belief is that all the banks of the continent continue guarding gold in spite of the fact that i Counterfeits, Head what one of the GREATEST NEWSPAPERS IN" AMERICA has to Bay on this subject: " The manufacturers of Oastoria have been compelled to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to familiarize the public with the signature of Ohas.

This counterfeiting is a crime not only against the proprietors of Oastoria, but against the growing generation. All persons should be careful to see that Oastoria bears the signature of Ohas. H.

Parents, and mothers in particular, ought to carefully examine the Oastoria advertisements which have been appearing in this paper, and to re member that the wrapper of every bottle of genuine Oastoria bears the fac-simila signature of Ohas, H.
