The administration will ‘take no ac- tion in Tegard. to the reply which President Castro of Venezuela made | to Minister Bowen .The matter was fully discussed at the cabinet meet- ing during the day and it was deter- mined to allow the matier to await developments. The situation is con- sidered such as not to necessarily in- terfere with the departure of the pres- ident on his Southwestern trip. After other members of the cabinet had left the White House Secretary Taft and Postmaster General Cortel you coutinued with the president the discussion of the Venezuelan ques- tion, It can be said positively that no determination was ““reached which would involve drastic action on the part of the American government. It is regarded as possible that further developments in thel Venezuelan situ- ation may be forthéoming Tn a few days, but it is not believed here they will add to its seriu.‘usnc;s, Kaiser Touches at English Port.

Brussels, March 25.—The protests of the Belgian government and of the French and EBelgian bondholders of Santo Domingo are said to be due to Santo Domingo’s non-observance of the agreement concluded “with these bordholders June 3, 1901, to pay to- wards the service of the pul debt §$25,000 monthly out of the customs receipts of the port of San Domingo. TEN CENTS PER WEEK TOUSE IN INDIGTMENTS CHICAGO GRAND JURY SEEKING INFORMATION CONCERNING PACKING BUSINESS. WITNESS TELLS OF QUESTIONS ASKED SHEDS SOME LIGHT UPON THE SUBJECTS CONSIDERED BY THE INQUISITORS. Chicago, March 25.—Specific infor- mation regarding shipping, marketing and prices of cattle was sought dur- ing the day by the special grand jury whichgis investigating the alleged combination of packers. Michael R. Murphy, general man- ager for the Cudahy Packing com- pany at South Omaha, Sioux City and Kansas City, was before the inquisi- tors and shed some light upon the subjects under consideration. “They asked me first about the packing business in general,” Mr. Murphy said. “Then they took up the subject of marketing and asked all the details of it. They inquired into the shipping of cattle and beef. Their Questions did not point to an investi- gation relative to railroads. Then they went into the subject of prices.” Asked whether the questions were such as would indicate a desire for general information rather than for use in possible indictments Mr. Mur- phy said that general information was evidently not what the inquisitors were after. Harry F. Wilkins, manager. of the beef department of the Cudahy Pack- ing company at Omaha, was ques- tioned on the subject of handling beef, but he declined to discuss his testk mouy. United States ' District Attorney Irving X. Baxter of Omaha arrived in Chicago during the day and will assist in the investigation.

The Hague, March 25.—The govern- ment of The Netherlands intends either alone or in conjunction with other powers haying differences with ‘Venezuela to take vigorous measures to secure the release of the five Dutch sailors illegally imprisoned for seven months in that country. It is thought probable that in the event of there being no material change in the situation in the Far East some of The Netherlands war- ships maintaining neutrality in the Dutch East Indies can be transferred to Venezuelan waters in May. SIGNED AT LONDON. Agreement Adjusting Exterior Debt of Venezuela. London, March 25.—The signature of the agreement between Venezuela and the Anglo-German bondholders adjusting and consolidating the ex- terior debt (about $28,600,000) was completed during the day.

Cabinet Decides to Make No Change in Present Status. ‘Washington, March 25.—The cab- inet discussed the situation in Santo Domingo and it was the general opin- ion that nothing there warrants any change in the present method of prd- cedure. The agent of the United States government will make an in- vestigation for the purpose of obtain- ing the information asked for by the senate. The failure of the senate to ratify the treaty with the Dominican-govern- ment has embarrassed the adminis- tration and nothing now will be done except to initiate an investigation into the affairs of the island government with a view simply to obtain definite information. The present status on the island, so far as this government is concerned, will not be disturbed. FUNERAL OF - MRS, STANFORD. Body Rests in Family Mausoleum Near University.
