French Government Refuses Him A sy
lum in Martinique.
Fort De France, April 12.—Cipriano
Castro, ex-president of Venezuela, was
expelled Saturday from the island of
Martinique by the French government.
He protested to the last against his ex
pulsion, but his protests were In vain.
He is now on board the French line
steamship Versailles, bound for St.
Nazaire.
Official notice was served on Castro
of the decision of the French govern
ment that he must leave the island
within nine hours from the receipt of
such notice, and that the commissary
of police at Fort de France had been
charged with the execution of the order.
The ex-president railed against the
French government and the local au
thorities, denouncing them for forcing
upon him alternative of deportation or
imprisonment for six months. He de
clared that he would not budge and
that it would be necessary to take him
on board the steamer on a stretcher.
This the commissary of police, who
finally entered Castro’s room with an
escort of gendarmes, prepared to do,
but Castro’s lawyer took steps to find
the chief justice, andjat the very last
moment the governor and public prose
cutor decided to have another medical
examination made.
Accordingly a medical commission
composed of Drs. Bouvier, Costet and
Barbe, proceeded to the examination in
order to establish definitely if Castro’s
health were such that he could make
the voyage.
The consultation of the physicians
lasted more than half an hour, and they
agreed that the life of the ex-president
would not be jeopardized by his remov
al to the steamer and the return voyage
across the ocean.

New Y o rk Hospitals Will Buy Their
Supplies T h ro u gh Bureau.
New York, April 12.—Acting upon
the suggestion of W. V. S. Thorne,
purchasing agent of the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific and other Harriman
lines, the 45 hospitals of New York
holding membership in the hospital
conference are to be brought under a
central supply purchasing department,
which will buy all the drugs, foods,
furnishings, fuel and instruments not
furnishedjindividually by each of the
45 institutions.
The proposal to apply Harriman
methods to the purchasing departments
of the hospitas in question was made
by Mr. Thorne at a meeting of the con
ference held here at the Academy of
Medicine.
Mr. Thorne showed that in $1,688,-
647 spent for supplies last year by the
45 institutions a saving of $161,318
could be effected at a cost of $24,000.
This $24,000 would be used for the
maintenance of a central purchasing
department, in charge of a head buyer
at a salary of $7,500 a year, and with
a staff of clerks and and office of its
own.

France
is Hotbed of Discontent on
Part o f Laboring C lass.
Paris, April 12.—“ You will see the
streets of Paris running with blood
’ere long,” solemnly prohpesied a lead
ing Royalist today.
Royalists are inclined to exaggerate
the seriousness of conditions in the
French capital, but it certainly is true
that not since the days of General Bou
langer has revolution been so openly
and so freely talked of as it is today.
The outlook would be more alarming,
however, if the revolutionists knew
just what they want, or whom they
should choose for a leader. In the
eyes of the public the head and front
of the present agitation is “ Citizen
Pataud,” chief of the electricians’
union.
His name sends fear into
hearts of the Bourgeois shopkeepers
and other employers.
"Premier Clemenceau and others pre
tend to smile at the great success of
their meeting in the hippodrome,” said
Pataud today, in discussing the situa
tion, “ but they will laugh out of the
wrong corner of their mouths if they
think this movement is not serious.
This isn’t the end. The dance is just
about to begin; the orchestra is merely
tuning up.”_____________
S trik e rs W reck Factories.
Meru, France, April 12.—The strike
of the buttonmakers of Meru has en
tered upon a critical phase. All the
departmental authorities are hurrying
here and reinforcements of cavalry and
gendarmes are coming by every train.
Many arrests have been made. Nego
tiations have been futile and disorders
broke out last night that recalled the
revolution. Agitators came down from
Paris and harangued the mob, which
stormed and wrecked four button fac
tories and practically destroyed the
residences of the employers.
Lenox is Sw ept by Fire.
Lenox, Mass., April 12.—The central
portion of Lenox was swept by fire
early Sunday morning. The firemen
were apparently powerless, and help
was summoned from Pittsfield, Lee
and other places. The fire was under
control at 3:15 o’clock.
One body,
that of Edward C. Ventres, an elec
trician. was recovered from the ruins.
Four other persons, including the wife
and daughter of Ventres, are missing.
The loss was estimated at between
$300,000 and $400,000. The principal
business buildings were destroyed.
Night Riders Break Out.
Nashville, Tenn., April 12.—Night
rider depredations in the Humphreys
county peanut growing industry have
caused the authorities to appeal to Gov
ernor Patterson for military protection.
Tonight a formal request was made.
An attempt to liberate certain prison
ers at Waverly under indictment for
nightriding outrages is feared. One
of the offenses was the whipping of a
justice of the peace so mercilessly that
he begged that he be killed.
A sk Denm ark to B a r C astro.
Copenhagen, April 12.—The United
States has approached Denmark in the
matter of forbidding Cipriano Castro
to remain in the Danish West Indian
island of St. Thomas in case the for
mer president of Venezuela should pro
ceed there from Martinique. A defi
nite answer is expected tomorrow.

From off the Rhode island coast it is

On the treacherous

three seriously injured.
The oil country near Pittsburg suf

total at least $100,000. Houses, barns
and fences throughout the country
