WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Nov. 10.—Advices received here from Ca- pacho Viejo, dated November 5, say that the report from President Castro to his brother, Celestino Castro, at S8an Cristo- bal, to the effect that the Unlted States Government “insists upon mediating be- tween Venezuela and Colombia,” caused the greatest excitement among the troops on the frontier.

The war will end in Colombia be- fere Christmas.’ There is considerable feeling against the Castre family among the Colombian Lib- erals and along the frontier in conse- quence of a th(—spread rumor that Celes- tino Castro, who is commander in chiet at San Cristobal, has been privately sell- ing cattle to the enemy, the cattle being secured by means of alleged raids of Co- lombian Conservatives. During one of these ralds a dozen soldiers were killed on both sides. it is said that the cattle change hands at a prearranged price of $30 per head. The blood thus spilled is charged directly to Celestino Castro by the indignant people of Tachira. CURACAO, I‘&V. 10.—Dr. Eduardo Bgn&g.

Last year DManager Rend Hutchinson paid all of the exXpenses of the team for the year and liquidated the | entire athletic debt that hung over the university, amounting to several thousand dollars. This year Manager Decoto says the Indications are that expenses will be pald. Financial returns cannot be had as early as this, but Decoto estimates tha: there were 12,000 people. at the footba:l game yesterday and that California’s ehare of the receipts will meet the outlay that he has made during the year. He | does not look tor much profit, and says that he will be satisfied If he comes oyt even. Princeton’s offer to play a game with California in this State this winter wiil be considered by the executive committec of the student body to-morrow. The an- swer 18 In_question, but should the foot- ball men be willing a game will be ar- ranged. Some of the eieven are unde- cided about their ability to take up train- ing again, and uniess they are eager to meet Princeton the offer of the New Jer- sey university will be declined. Califordia’s prospects for next year's football contest are bright. Many veter- | ans of the gridiron wili be left, and the unusually large and good supply of fresh- man material will be on hand to develop. Besides this the Berkeley contingent be- | lieves that a style of coaching has been | secured and a spirit aroused which will be hard to overcome. In fact, a serles of victories is looked for an the football field | such as California has secured on the | track. Dr. Frank Simpson, the head | coach s receiving his full share of prais. | for the splendid manner in which he brought out the team. Of this year's varsity but two will grad- uate—Captain Womble, end and back. and Hansen, tackle. Womble can never play agaln against Stanford, as yesterday's game was his foyrth in the intercolleglate contests, and intercollegiate rules forbid a man entering more than four. As this was Hansen's first year on the big eleven he can take post graduate work and com- pete again if he chooses. All the other men expect to continue their college courses. There will be left Gendotti at center; Giant Overall, Stow and Stroud, uards; Albertson, tackle; Hudson and tarr, ends; More, quarter; Mini, Duden, Whipple and Sherman, backs; Dibblee, who would have gone into the game but for a wrenched knee, will be back for end. | Clay, guard, and Gammon, back, who played on last year's varsity and later left college, may return to university work. Both signify their intentlon of so doing. squad will materially strengthen it. There are a large number of freshmen out who should make strong bids for the | varsity next year and make up a splendid second eleven, Morehead and Howard are heavy men for center. Howard is also a good guard. Possibly he. Heitmuller and Stroud, who went into the game yester- day after Overall was put off the field, | shculd make a strong run far one of the places. Watson, Metcalf, Gastrich and De- merritt will be out for line fi\osltlon. Back of the line there will be Risley, Graves, Kittrrell, Saeltzer and Evans. Dr. Simpson stated to-day tHat pros- couraging. “‘There Is plenty of splendid materfal left,” he said, “and this victory shauld bring out all the boys. Every man on the team has promised to be back next year, if not to try for the eleven at least to belp coach. There is plenty of loyalty there and among the students and alumnt” OHIO ELECTION RETURNS , SHOW A GREAT SHORTAGE! CINCINNATI, Nov. 10.—With a]mos{‘ half of the official returns from the eighty-eight counties in Ohio received, it is estimated that the total vote may be 100,000 less than for Governor two years ago, when 920,872 votes were cast, and al- most a quarter of a million less than for President last year, when the total vete of Ohio was 1,349,121, Notwithstanding the increase in papu- lation during the past thirteen years, the | total vote will likely be much less than for President in 1888, when it was 841,941, and probably less than has been cast for Governor since that time with a single exception. The returns show that the greatest shortage was among the Democrats out- side of the cities, and it is variously at-| tributed to the silver question, prevailing | prosperity, the death of McKinley, in- dorsement of President Roosevelt, Gov- ernor Nash, Senator Foraker, and other causes. eSO alEl USHERS BAR UNFROGCKED PRIEST'S WAY IN CHURCH Father Crowley Is Finally Given Seat in Rear of a Chicago Cathedral.

ORANGE CROP SMALLER THAN THAT OF LAST YEAR FPstimates in Southern California Sliow Decrease, but Fine Quality Is Promised. 1.OS ANGELES, Nov. 10.—Careful and conservative estimates of the orange crop of Southern California for the season 1901- 03 indicate that it will be from 15 to 20 per cent less than that of last year, but with normal climatic conditions, "the fruit will re of excellent quality.
