Green, Pink and Li Appeara.'nce in Washing- ton of Seligman Starts ; Rumor. |State Department Willing ' That a Strong Financial Body Should Act, e e S S WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—The appear- ance in Washington of I. Seligman, a member of a New York financial house which has engaged extensively In inter- | national syndication, taken in connection with the dispatches printed this morning from London relative to Venezucian finances, was viewed In official circles here to-day as indicating the existence of a syndicate with the purpose of floating ail of Venezuela’s many debts and thus averting the imminent danger that coun- try now stands in of the seizure of her customs houses by foreign powers. | The assumption is that the prospeclive syndicate wishes to ascertain before clos- ing a bargain with Venezuela, whether. or fot the United States will insure the meeting by Venezuela of the obligations she would asspime in the matter of repay- ment of the loan, The United States Government, it ean be stated on authority, is extremely desir- ous that Venezuela settle her trouble with Great Britain, Germany and other foreign countries without incurring the s®zure of any Venezuelan ports, even temporarily. For it is realized that while the United States could not consistently object to the seizure of Venezuelan customs duties by a foreign power as a means of collecting Jjust debts, this is regarded as the con- tingency to be avoided if possible, for it is realized that serious friction might fol- low between the foreigners and the Vene- zuelans, and which at the beginning might be declared to be merely temporary oc-i cupation would end by a claim of perma- nence of ‘which the United States might take notice and which it must contest. Therefore, if any responsible financial body is willing to pay off Venezuela's foreign claims and so relieve the country of danger of occupation, such a meve would be welcomed by the State Depart- ment. But it is known that the:official, settlement touching the guarantee by the' ' United States Government of the syndi- cate's Venezuelan loan would be: unfav- orably received. &) The Department of State objects very strongly to giving any guarantee of this kind and its official practice has been to extend to an American holding -forelgn bonds such protection as it would accord to any other citizen, but to allow him to bear the risk of his own venture, holding that he takes the bonds of a foreign government subject to the’ vicis- situdes of that Government and cannotex- pect the United States to act as his col- lector in the event that his speculation does not turn out as well as he expeeted. Seligman called at the White House with Senator Hanna and was with the President about twenty minutes. After his interview with the President he re- fused to say arything in regard to the report that a syndicate was.being formed WHITE EMBROIDERED FLANN:L A grand variety to chonse c from, in hemstitched and 85 and baby dresses; reg. value Yard $1.25 yard, NEW PERSIAN GRANITZ WAISTINGS on sale to-morrow, %o stylish Beautitel Pamian ana siriped Yard EXACT COP- 1ES OF THE REAL FRENCH. scalloped effects, for skirts A very handsome lot goes 25C effects, prettiest colorings, s SILK PETTICOATS Never before have we been in positton {0 give you such swell looking skirts, very beautifully he very best Peau de in many of the most t were made to sell at be sold beginning to- 08 tazh $90 200 Black Peau de Soie Silk Waists at the grandest Black Silk Do not miss bought better S50 on ‘sale Mon- %5.00 cach eliable Peau de Soie; and box pleated style ching and steel Buttons are a great bargain at $7 Bath Robes at .

The California Society to-day ordered a magnificent floral. wreath which will be placed on Admiral Sloat’s grave by Presi- dent MacKenzie to-morrow. Threatened Nuisance Averted. NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—Projects for the erection of a sixteen-story apartment building in Millionaire’s Row, in Upper Fifth avenue, recently announced, have been abandoned. When the property, which is between Sixty-fourth and Sixty- fifth streets, changed hands not long ago, and plans were given out for the new building, there was a great commotion \ among the residents near by, among them Frank J. Gould. Such a structuregwould ‘have shut off the light from his new home and also would have affected many other mansions. The man who caused the ex- citement has now sold the plot and it is believed the holders of the adjoining prop- erty either formed a pool to buy him out or secured a purchaser who has agreed to erect a private residence. sz e A Kansas Against Colorado.

LONDON, Nov. 20.—The report “that Venezuela is negotiating through an American banking firm (presumably J. and W. Seligman) to pay the claims of England and Germany which have caused 40 much friction recently has created much interest in official circles. Sir Thomas Henry Sanderson, Permanent Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, when asked about the matter to-day said: “I am very glad to hear this report, but it is the first information I have re- ceived on the subject. I cannot confirm the rumor, because I know nothing about the matter, having received absolulely no information about it, but I think it would be a very wise thing for the Venezuelans to pay up. I am unable to deny the story, because Venezuela may have approached the bankers named and asked them to enable the Government to meet the de- mands of England and Germany before proceeding to discuss the matter through the regular diplomatic channels. In re- gard to England’s claims against Venel { zuela, they are of so many classes that I am umable to give an approximate esti: mate of their amount.” Seligman of the Seligman Company re- fused either to confirm or deny the re- port. He said he had nothing to add to the statements printed in New York to- day and telegraphed here. He intimated that a statement would be forthcoming in a few days. — - REVOLUTION NOT ENDED.

It is asserted that there has been no rupture of harmonious relations Matos’ ' revolutionary movement has greatly Increased throughout the country. According to the latest advices, there are 14,000 revolutionists in Eastern-Central Venezuela, who are well armed and are awaiting a new plan of campaign. The general impression is that, despite his re- cent successes, President Castro cannot remain in power mugh longer. President Castro in his anxiety to make friends has released many who have ar- rived in Trinidad and has unsuccessfully tried to effect a compromise with the rev- olutionary leaders under instructions from the Foreign Office of Venezuela. The Trinidad Government has been oc- cupied during the last fortnight in inves- tigating protests and complaints regard- ing the interference with British vessels in these waters by Venezuelan gunboats. It is generally believed that Great Britain has degided to take decisive action. patbicets ot THINKS POWERS WILL ACT. Governor of Trinidad Believes Great Britain and Germany Mean Business. PORT OF SPAIN, Island of Trinidad, Nov. 20.—Sir Courtenay Knollys, acting Governor of Trinidad, believes that Great Britain and Germany are preparing for joint action against Venezuela. The peo- ple of Trinidad, he says, think it time for ‘the powers to Intervene fn the matter. Venezuelan gunboats have rgcently seized four British merchantmen in the Orinoco River and the protest made regarding these seizures has not been heeded. An American ship is now here, bound for the Orinoco and is awaiting a decision from the Washington Government as to wheth- er or not the blockade is effective. Governor Knollys declares that Vene- zuela. has no cause for complaint at the failure of the powers to recognize the blockade, as such recognition would mean the investing of the revolutionists with belligerent rights and would close Trini- dad to Castro's warships, which use Port of Spain as a place for refitting. The Governor insists that the island of Patos is British territory and has been so for a century and declares that ample proof of his statement is obtainable. The sym- pathy of Trinidad is with the revolution- {sts, though It is admitted that Castro is now dominant. Senor Rojas, agent of the revolutionists, says: “The war will continue. The revolu- tionists have plenty of ammunition and more has been ordered. General. Matos is at Curacao for the purpose of obtaining supplies. There: are 13,000 revolutionists all in Venezuela, the eastern section of which country is completely under the centrol of his party. If Great Britain and Germany attack Venezuela the revolution- ists will sink all differences existing be- tween themselves and the Government and all Venezuelans will fight for their country. The revolution has received no foreign support.” At the same time it is said in an author- itative Colombian quarter that the Bo- gota Government will reject Castro’s overtures and aid in the attempt to defeat him. f BARCELONA IS RETAKEN. Government Troops of Castro Again Demoralize the Revolutionists. CARACAS, Nov. 20.—A force of Govern- ment troops numbering 3100, under Gen- | erals Velutini and Olivaresz, reoccupied Barcelona in the morning of November 2. The revolutionists, commanded by General Pablo Guzman and General Ro- lando, who joined them last week with only 260 men, abandoned the city before the arrival of the Government forees, taking with them the leading prisoners, who they captured some time ago. Among these prisoners were Generals Ayala, Tel- leria and Maroano, the latter two the Preside nts of the States of Coro and Bar- celona. The rebels removed also their ammuni- tion and a gun which they took to a point six miles from the city, where they were attacked by Government force under Gen- and that enthusiasm in favor of General | eral Alvarez, who inflicted upon them a severe defeat, liberating the prisoners they were holding as hostages and le tting them escape in small bands. The recap- ture by President Castro’s troops of Bar- celona, which the revolutionists have been representing as impregnable, is taken hera as further proof of the demoralization of the revolution. The Government forces continued their march to Ciudad Bolivar. Pt S SQUADRON OF “ENEMY™ COMPLETE WITH IOWA Battleship Arrives at Port of Spain and Is Ready for the Naval Maneuvers. PORT OF SPAIN, island of Trinidad, Nov. 29.—With the arrival here to-day of the TUnited States battleship Iowa, with Admiral Sumner on board, the ‘“enemy’s squadron” is complete. The battleship Illinois, the cruisers Chicago, San Francisco, Albany and Atlanta and the gunboats Nashville and Eagle are also here. Admiral Crowninshield called on Admiral Sumner to-day to discuss the plan of operation and there will be con- ferences between the flag and command- ing officers of the various ships. The speed of the squadron is regulated to that of the slowest vessel, the Nash- ville, and is limited to ten knots. Cou- sequently it is urged that the Nashvilla be detached. If this is done the Eagls will be the slowest vessel, with a max- imum speed of thirteen knots. Admiral Sumner is keeping the problem secret, but the impression prevails that the area of attack will be confined to Porto Rico, Culebra and certain other points. The squadron is not expected to leave here until Thursday. ADVERTISEMENTS. Art Room has just becn opencd lo ihe public and we invile yovur inspection.
