WW WOULD NEGOTIATE Castro, However, Continues Active Preparations for War. ASKS HOLLAND SEND NEW AGENT Interprets Sending of Warships as a Threat and Takes Ammunition to La Guayra Forts. Caracas, Oct. 29. President Castro received on October 12 the second note from The Netherlands government, which fixes November 1 as tho dato or revocation of the transshipment decree of May 14. but it was not until the following day, October IS, that Venezuela's anxiously awaited" reply was delivered into the hands of Baron von Zickcndorff, the German minister, who is in charge of Dutch interest. Dr. Paul, minister of foreign affairs, closed his answer to Holland by saying that, as an interruption of diplomatic exchanges exists between The Nether lands government and Venezuela, and as the Venezuelan government desires to arrive at an amicable agreement, he asked tho government of Holland to rend to Caracas a confidential agent with rowers and instructions to settle all pendinc differences. Holland makes no further threat in her note, but the fact that two Dutch warships left Holland at the same time as the note, and are now lying tn me harbor of Curacoa, has been interpret ed here to be a direct though mute threat that force would bo used oa No vember 1 to compel revocation of the decree of May 14. President Castro has answered this threat by making all accessary naval and military preparations to meet any reasonable emergency, aad shells for the large coast defease guns oa the La Guayra mountains were carried up to the mountains last week. BEWARE OF JAP. Hobson Says United States Doomed Soon as Fleet Leaves Pacific. Saa Francisco, Oct. 29. A few thousand Democrats in San Francisco were told last night by Captain Rich mond Pearson Hobsoa that Japan is earcrbr seeking war with the United States at an early date. Hobson was sailing along smoothly ditscussicg the campaign issues with fervid speech, when a voice in the au dience asked him to enlighten his bear ers on naval affairs. The congressman, who is a member of the bouse committee on naval af fairs, readily complied. He asserted that Japan had borrowed more than a billion dollars to be used in a war with the United States. The overtures of peace on the part of Japan, said the speaker, were to deVude this nation into returning the battleships to the Atlantic so that Japan could seize strategic points is the Pacific and en the western coast of America, and by commanding the mountain passes could prevent relief from the East. He told his hearers that there are now in the United Stated 65,990 Japanese soldiers. SELL GRAZING LANDS. March of CtvMxauon Causes Sheep men to Dispose o' HeMiegt. Lewiston. Mont.. Oct. 29. The sale of nearly 30,099 head of sheep here this week by Waite, FJIiott & Peek tn Fergus and Yellowstone parties murks the retirement of another big Montana woolgrawwg firm which has for many vears figured conspicuously in the busi ness. With tbe inrtux of farmers from the Middle West these great traet of land are becoming too valuable for agrkul tural purposes to Justify holding then for sheep ranges. Land that will grow an average of over 3S bushels of high grade winter wheat, without irriga tion, now commands about $ 1 6 per acre, so it will be seen that these immense tracts represent a large saa ef money.
