Venezuela Is T o Be Opened to Am er­ ican Capital and Enterprise. Delegates at Algeciras Conference Complete Their Work. New York, April 3 — The World to­ day says: One of the largest merchants in New York said last night that ar rangemer.ts are being perfected here and in Paris for an invasion of Vene­ zuela, which will annihilate Castro and open up tbe country to American capital and enterprise. A number of rich New York mer­ chants are said to be interested in the movement, which, the promoters de t’lare, w ill involve the employment of 16,000 soldiers and the expenditure of $6,000,000 in the campaign under which Piesident Castro is to be either expelled or destroyed and a native Ven ezuelan statesman is to be installed as his successor. In this connection it is said that Castro, anticipating a successful revo­ lution against him sooner or later, has converted some of his alleged $4,000, 000 into cash and has sent it to A mer ica and France. Carlos B. Fuegerdo, Venezuelan con sul in New York, said last night at hia home that be had heard such an expe­ dition was being organized or being promoted, but bad been unable to learn anything definite about it. He said he nad understood shares in tbe scheme were being sold. " I would like to get hold of some of those shares,’ ’ he said. " I w ill buy all that are offered." The consul inquired eagerly as to the point the expedition was to sail from. The expedition is to set out soon from Europe in three large steamships, which are already under contract. They are to carry about 6,001) volun­ teers, with the following quantities of arms and ammunition: Eight thousand Mauser rifles of the latest pattern, 24,- OOrt rounds of cartridges, 600 shells, rapid fire guns, 8 000 army belts, 1,000 officers’ swords. 6,000 officers’ revolv­ ers, 3,000 machetes and swords, to gether with other supplies. Algeciras, April 2.— After a prelim­ inary session lasting until 6 o’clock this evening, the conference on Moroc­ can reforms registered a complete ac­ cord and appointed a committee to em­ body this accord in a formal protocol. Tbe coosumation of tbe work in the conference was announced in tbe fol­ lowing official communication: "T h e conference has terminated its labors and accord is established upon all points. I t bas adopted a definite text of the remaining articles concern­ ing the state banks and customs. The final article, regulating the distribution of police at ports, was adopted from the Russian draft. By it France will police four ports, Mogador, Hath, Ma gazan and Rabat, and Bpain two, Te- tuan and Larache France and Bpain together w ill police Tangier and Casa Blanca, subject to an inspector of po­ lice. The Dutch delegate announced that his government declined to ap- point an officer. The conference bas appointed a special committee to revise the texts of the agreement." Mr. White, the American delegate, of the opinion that the result is satis factory, not only because the immedi ate future of Morocco is secured, but because tbe manner of tbe settlement is satisfactory both to France and Ger many and removes the causes for fric tion and restores international relations to normal. Tbe principals for which Germany insisted, tbe integrity of Mo rocco and equal commercial and eco nomic rights there, Mr. White thought were recognized, while the special posi tion claimed by France waa also ac­ knowledged.

Indianapolis, March 30. — The joint meetings of tbe bituminous coal opera­ tors and miners of tbe central competi­ tive district, composed of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and I l l i ­ nois, snd of the Southwestern district, composed of Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Indian Terri­ tory, last night reached a final disa­ greement on the wage scale to go into effect at tbe expiration of the present scale on April 1, and the conference of the central district adjourned sine die, while the joint scale committee of the Southwestern district decided to report a disagreement to the joint conference of that district today. It is expected that this conference w ill at once ad­ journ sine die without an agreement. The action of the two conferences will directly cause the suspension of work after Saturday by 178,000 miners ui-less something unforeseen, like sub­ mission of the differences to arbitra­ tion, should intervene, and indirectly will affect 206,500 more miners, not including its effect on 150,000 miners in the anthracite field, who were last night ordered to suspend work Monday. A national convention of the miners will be held today to decide whether miners w ill be allowed to sign tbe ad­ vance scale demanded and today re­ fused by all operators with a few excep­ tions, and to go to work where the ad­ vance is offered. Operators employing 25.000 miners in tbe central competi­ tive field have openly offered to pay the advance during the joint conference sessions. The wage scales of all miners, both anthracite and bituminous, w ill expire Saturday, except those in Tennessee and Alabama, where the scale will ex­ pire in September. One national offi­ cial of the United Mineworkers said: " I t is a foregone conclusion that all tbe miners whose scales expire Satur­ day will cease work until officially no­ tified by the national and district offi­ cers that new contract arrangements have been made governing their scale."
