SCORPION NOW ON ITS WAY United Btates Auxiliary Oruiser Proceeding to Boene of Asphalt War, IN' VENEZUELA IS SERIOUS SITUATION Restitut WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacoa, Dutch West Indies, Jan. 19.—(Via Haytien Cable.) ~The United States auxillary cruiser Scor- pion, Lieutenant Commander Sargent com- manding, has just arrived here on its to Guanoca, Venezuela, the nearest port to the scene of the trouble between the rival msphalt companies. It recently left La Guayra (the port of Caracas) and brings the latest news of the Venczuelan troubles. The situation is described as being serious. It is sald that the emphatic protests of the government at Washington have been de fled and bloodshed at the lake of the Ber- mudes Asphalt company was feared The most hotheaded of the foreigners in Venezuela go so far as (o say that if the Washington authorities do not take steps to protect American citizens now all foreign- ers may as well leave the country. The offl- cers of the Scorplon are quoted as saying that (he diplomatic corps at Caracas 18 unanimous on this point, as are all the foreigners. They admit, however, that the United States minister at Caracas, Francis B. Loomis, 18 working vigorously in the e forts to arrange matters The more recent developments in the trouble in Vewvezuela were the seizures by the authorities at Ciudad Bollvar (an im- portant comme! al town of Venezuela and capital of the state of Bolivar, situated on the right bank of the Orinoco, thirty-seven miles by water from the sea), of two steam- ers belonging to the Orinoco company.

Mr. Loomis is using bis good offices to save the two steamers re- cently seized LONDON, Jan. 19.—A dispatch from Cura- coa, Dutch West Indies, to Reuter's Tele- gram company, says the relations between the United States and Venczuela have not fmproved, and that the United States min- ister, Francis B. Loomis, has sent a strongly worded note, which is even described s be- ing practically an ultimatum, to the Venez- uelan government Not Authorized to Present Note. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—It is sald to- night that this government has not author- ized Mr. Loomis to present a formal note to the Venezuelan government, and certainly nothing in the nature of an ultimatum; that Minister Loomis' instructions so far have been telegraphic and have directed him to to the Venezuclan authorities against any despoliation of American rights or property. Further than this the State department has not sent forward any defl- nite instructions, FRED METZ, SR., NEAR DEATH Family Ix Summoned and Phy Hold Out No Hope of Re- covery.

H. Verpoorten has been in con- stant attendance upon the patient for sev- eral weeks and many of the best physicians in Omaha and from Chicago and St. Louls have been called in consultation In the en deavor to prolong the life of Mr. Metz. The advanced age of the patient, however, has brought on a general breakdown and the action of the heart is now sustained only by the use of powerful stimulants, The condition of Mr. Metz became so alarming on Friday that telegraphic calls werc sent to his married daughters, Mrs. Dr. B, F.

Yet none could roll a cigarette more deftly or retort more quickly in up-to-date slang. He wore his learning as lightly as a flower, but his addresses to the clergy were hardly ever equalled. In ruling his episcopate during the troublous times of the keen, ritualistic controversy, he avolded stern legal meas- | being ures, yet generally secured obedience to his will.

FULL STOMACHS, SOFT HEARTS Am a gravely erlcan Widow Feeds Paria Cabbie: and Teaches Them to Be Kind to Hors 1901, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Jan. 10.—(New York World Cablegram—Speclal Telegram.)—Thanks to a woman, Paris enjoyed an unusual spectaclo Wednesday, when several thousand city eab drivers were the guests of the Soclety for the Protection of Animals at a public banquet. This function was the direct re- sult of the Individual efforts of Mrs. Anna Conover. Though Danfsh by birth, she is the widow of a former resident of Wash- togton, who was once secretary of the American legation fn Madrid. Mrs. Con- over was many years a resident of London, where she became a local celebrity as the manager of the Olympia theater. Retiring from theatrical life a few years ago, she settled in London, where she was prominent in many humane and philanthrople soceties. Coming to Parls in October last for a briet visit, she was horrified at the cruel treat- ment of the horses. She talked to every- body and wrote to the newspapers urging a citizens' movement to abate the cruelty She met on all sides the same reply “There's no use of doing anything. It is impossible to correct this evil. ¥renchmen are {hstinctively cruel to animals.” Undiscouraged, Mrs. Conover began vigorous campaign. Alone she visited the prefect of police and obtained the issuance of orders to arrest coachmen maltreating their horses. Then she paraded the principal thoronghfares, alert for every cracking whip. However crowded the road way, Mrs. Conover was undeterred. When she ordered an arrest, policemen found that no trifiing was allowed Instead of returning to London, she re malned here until every policeman and every cabbie ou the boulevards knew her at the first glance. Her fame soon spread, until the constant reiteration by the news- papers of the work she was doing won the English-speaking colony's cordial support hen many andees, dames of the Faubourg St. Germain, became interested and lent the prestige of their names to the movement. At this juncture somebody dfs covered there was a soclety for the protec tion of animals already oxisting. Sha into action, this organization fell into | behind Mrs. Conover, who finally concelved » project of appealing to the hearts of the 19,000 Paris cabmen through their stomachs We was the result.
