Callfornlans Will Refuse to tPy Rail road Mora. San Francisco, Dec 21 Shipper nnd importers of California are ar ranging to unite in a state-wide pro test against the Increase iu transcou tiuciital tariffs announced by the Southern Tacifie and Santa Fe rail roads as effective on January 1. Op position will take the form of a score of mats meetings, held in the leadinr cities on December .0, when repre sentative of leading industries will set fcfrtli the grievances of the busi ness men against the carriers An executive committee appointed some weeks ago to deal withjlie question yesterday announced this method of procedure as more desirable than an appeal to the courts, which was re garded as productive of delay, or to the interstate commerce commission, which is powerless to take action until such rate changes have taken effect. The attitude of the protestants wa let forth yesterday in a statement by C II. Hentley, president of the San Francisco chamber of commerce and a member of the executive committee, who said: "We deem it unjust that the traffic manager should have arranged these rates, without consulting the ship pers, and at a period most inoppor tune. We have canvassed the rail road situation thoroughly, and from the cost ol luel to the statement of earnings there is apparent no valid reason for such an increase of rstes at this time " SEEKING VAR INSTRUCTORS. Berlin Paper Says. Castro Will Add Army and Navy. Merlin, Dec St The Berlin Neuite Nachrichten yesterday printed an ar ticle "from a well informed tource" warning the German press against adopting an unfriendly attitude toward President Cattro, of Venezuela. The writer says that Germany's business interests should cause the newspapers to refrain from offensive allusions, such as "ex-cowboy" and "president of a robber state.'' Castro, the article continues, is con sidering a large addition to the equip ment of both army and navy, and is thinking of placing the orders in Ger many The Venezuelan president is also seeking instructors for his mili tary academy, recently established in Caracas, and is likely to cive prefer ence to officers from the Germany army All this leads the Neuste Nachrichten writer to hope that Ger many will strive to obtain a perma nent Influence politically and cconom icatly in Venezuela Many of the newspapers in their weekly political reviews deal with Senor Castro's visit in connection with the Venezuelan situation The Tage- uiatt says: "The German government cannot much longer show favor toward the president unless he gives assurances that Venezuela will fulfill the obliga lions" A notable fact is that the semi-official Nord Deutche Allegemeine Zeitung utterly ignores the presence ot scnor itstro isuch a course lias never before been adopted when the chief of a forign state was visiting Germany, although iu a priva;e ca pacity.

REBELS ARE COWED BY FORCE Country In Turmoil and Censorship Established Gomez Acts In Self Defense, Port of Spain, Dec. 32 Vice President J. Vincent Gomez, to whom General Cipriano Castro handed over the presidency on his departure for Europe, has established a new ftr-crn ment in Venezuela. He has replaced the old ministry with a new body of men, who represent various factions in the state and who have figured prom inently in various ways in the coun try political history. Not only has Dr. lose de Jesus Paul disappeared from the councils of the nation, but Dr Haldo. who is now traveling in Castro's suite abroad, also hat been removed from Ins official position as minister of education General Dirgo I erren, the minister of war, has been superseded by General Itedulo Olivares, who took a promi nent part in crushing the revolution ists six years ago. A new governor of Caracas has been appointed Secret advices from Caracas, where the strictest ceniprship is being ob served, indicate that the whole of Venezuela has been in a ferment ever since President Castro sailed, and that the crisis was reached a few days ago when it became necessary for Acting; President Gomez to take decisive steps. The revolutionary- faction played a prominent part in the demonstration against the absent president. These were temporarily checked by a thovt of force, and later the revolutionary influence that threatened to sweep tho country was overcome in a measure by promises that could not be held long in abeyance The establishment of a new govern ment in Venezuela has been expected daily, and it is probable that it wat the outcome of the demands which began almost the day that Castro sailed for Europe. Gomez was far from secure It was brought forcibly home to him that he must cither withdraw from that office or cast aside those of Castro's minis ters who still were trying to force the Castro rule upon the people. Appar ently he chose the latter course He first declared the country in a state of defense, thereby securing con trol of the army, and then appointed a new cabinet On several other occasion when Castro has turned over the govern ment to Vice-President Gomez it was; freely predicted that Gome- would succeed Castro as president of the re public. He had many supporters in the anti-Castro camp, chief among those in favor of his candidacy being General Arando the former minister of war, who worked earnestly to place Gomez in power. Castro Goes to Hospital. Berlin, Dec. 52 President Castro of Venezuela removed yesterday to Dr. Israel's hospital, to undergo a course of treatment- AMERICAN POMPEII FOUND.
