THE OMAHA DAILY BER: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13 Meved, however, that neither Great Britain not Germany Is likely to do so, Statements attributed to the counsels and other representatives of Venezuela In European cities all ‘betray a stronger feel- ing Agalnst Germany than agalnst Great Britain, as well as reliance on the United States to prevent any Anglo-German in- vasion of Venezuela. The Venozuelan con- #ul at Genoc is credited with the asser- tion that the armed intervention of the United States would be certain to imme- Qiately follow any such step. A Qispath from Berlin to the Morning Post says the British commander In Venez- {uelan waters will, as senior officer in the Muture direct all joint action by the Anglo- German fleet after having consulted with | Commodore Scheder, the German com- mander. Germany has no intention of sending a force to the interior of Venez- uela. The Venezuelan consul here Is reported as saying that the recent negotiations reported from Washington of a loan of $8,000,000. An international bank under European control was to be established and interest on the loan was to be guaranteed by the customs. Fiscal agents were to be installed 1n all custom houses and were themsclves to collect the interest on the loan. It at any time the customs receipts proved in- sufficent to meet the Interest the govern- ment undertook to make good any deficiency out of other revenues, It was considered essentlal to learn the attitude of the United States. While final | steps were being taken the crisis became | acute to galn the good dffices of the United States in order to procufe for Venezuela a slight extension of time. The final arrangements were cabled from London to President Cas- tro and were ready for presentation to the Foreign office when the ultimatum was pre- sented. ‘This plan by no means has been given up, although of course all negotlations are at ' standstill. extremities a settlement on some such ba- e is still possible. Deposits of Co CARACAS, Dec, 12.—The government has taken preservative measures at La Guayrs. All the deposits of coal at the navy yard and all the British cars on the La Guayra rallroad have been brought here, making fmpossible the transportation of the allted troops by rall. General Ferrer, the min- ister of war, spent all day today in choos- ing spots in the mountains where trenches are to be dug. The governor of Caracas has issued the following decree: All the Venezuelans living in the federal district between the ages of 18 and 60 years must enroll themselves In the militia. " Any such persons refusing to enroll voluntarily, as patristism demands, will be declaréd traitors and sent before the triburals. During the incarceration of Britains and Germans here Mr. Bowen and his secretary of legation went to the jail five times and assisted the poor colored British subjects and those who were fll. The order for the release of the prisoners has made a good impression and is looked upon as & politic act on the part of Pres dent Castro. Everyone in Caracas believes the situation to be desperate and war cer- tain unless Mr. Bowen succeeds in having the matters in dispute submitted to ar- bitration. It is reported that the plan of the Ger- man and British forces is to secure the ports of La Guayra and Puerto Cabello. Preparing for Defense. LA GUAYRA, Venezuela, Dee. 12.—De- fense' preparations at the strategic points on the helghts back of the town are being vigorously pushed forward.

Castfo’s war, preparations and his public utt ces are regarded in official quarters here as ‘“de- signed to see how far the allies are will- ing to go, as a test of the further attitude of the administration at Washington, and, above all, as efforts td unite his own people and rcconelle them to his dictatorship.” The Forelgn office recelved a cable yester- day from the German charge de affaires, filed at La Guayra. This is a sure indica- tion, the Forelgn office thinks, that the situation fs not so tense as the press tele- grams Regarding the reports that the Germans wantonly destroyed the' Venezuelan v wsels captured at La Guay: it is sald here that, according to official advices veceived up to the present, only one vessel was dis- ined. abled. While the marine ministr¥ is not consid- ering the immediate dispatch of reinforce ments, if it Is necessary to occupy a port marines will be sent. The Nayy department garrisons the coast defenses and has at its disposition fifteen battallons of marines who are serving on shore.

Frank Sargent, commissioner general of immigration, sald while he would prefer the retention of the educational require- ment, he recognized that it could be sac- rificed without destroying the efficacy ot the bill.

BEARS HAVE THEIR OWN WAY Stoek Values on Wall Street Show Effect of Tight Money. NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Further liquida- tion of a ferced character set in soon after the opening of the stock market and prices melted away all through the list. Some issucs, notably steel, touched the lowest | level reached since May 9, 1901. The bear element made a gene and took added courage from the of inside support. The opening was heavy and lower, though London's prices for 1 attack | Americans showed slight improvement. After a brief rally the real attack began and the end of the first hour saw the mar- ket very weak. Numerous accounts were thrown over and more stop loss orders were uncovered. The selling for western accounts was re- ported to be very heavy, not only of the industrial - group, but of standard rallway shares. Call money opened at 9 per cent and advanced to 10 per cent. Time money is virtually unobtainable and for short periods loans are only made on high class collateral. ° Conditions were a little better before the close of t morning session, rallies ex- tending from 1 to 2 per cent above the léw- est prices.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Thomas A. Edison, Jr.s remarkable discovery of the new cura. tive force which he has embodied in his Magno-Electric Vitalizer seems likely to make the young man as famous in the world of Invention as his distinguished father, while as & benefactor to suffering humanity he is already more sought after .than the nated Austrian surgeon, Prof. Lorans. No discovery in modern times ever aroused ome-half the Interest that is now being evineed. tn young Edison's invention. It is pointed out by scientists -that: the Magno-Electric Vitalizer is the most pow- erful and remarkable curative force -in existence today. ;i There seems to' be no limit efther. to its cpawers ar-lta possibil- ities. ' 1t is equally. adapted to the rellet of the most -complex dlsorders ,of the nerves, ‘such’ a8 nervousprostzation or paralysis; to the cure-of diseases of the.blood; such ‘=8 rhetintatism, 7omtarrh -and malgnia; <o | luu and rpepiratory. complaints, likg con- umption apd,asthis; to digestive troubles, | mcl as dyspepsia, and malautrition; 40 the | various, arganic and intestinal conditions which result In Bright's disease and ap- pendivitis, as, well. as. 1o ~the .many ecir- ctlatory defects,. that are evidenced by heart disense.and, failing strength. - In fact, say The scientists, the Vitalizer fully merits the name Mr. Bdison has bestowed upon it, for it stores yp and commupicates vi- tality. Much of young Mr. Edison’s present pop- ularity is undoubtedly due.to the fact that he has resolutely. refused. to aljow his in- vention to-be .cxploited by persons who would be likely to regard it more as a com- mercial proposition than as an, opportunity to relieve the sufferings of bumanity. He has placed a price upon the Vitalizer only sufficient to cover the cost of maputacture and s distributiog it only through; his own company. When Mr. Edison was seen in his labor- atory yesterday he eaid: “Usually I do not care to talk about my work, but in the matter of the Vitalizer I feel that a duty and a responsibility oas been laid upon me and that the public should be allowed to know that pain and sickness can, at last, be banished from the earth. It has been my life long ambition to create something that should give happiness to the world, and 1 feel now that I have succeeded. “Several attempts have been made to induce me to sell the Vitallzer to promot- ers, but T feel that if I did so I.ebould not be doing my duty to humanity. been bestowed upon me the power to help the sick and suffering and 1 want every- body to know that I will not allow capital to be made out of their afflictions. -Tell your readers for me that 1 have definitely detormined to direct the manufacturs ani distribution of the Vitalizer myself, and that I will manage it only through my own company. Tell them that it makes no dif- terence to me whether a man, is rich or poor, or whether he lives in the country or the city. If he is sick or affiicted let him just drop & line to the Thomas A.

Mackay. Pertect weather conditions prevailed and fully 25,000 people gathered at the beach. Silvertown got under way soon after day- light and was at anchor off the beach soon after 9. The surt was breaking heavily off shore amd it was consequently decided to delay, hauling the cable ashore until the water became somewhat smoother. Clarence H.
