[ | l Special Dispateh to The Call CALL BUREAU, 146 G STREET, N. | W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—In order that John D. Rockefeller may endow a Daticnal fund “for the promotion of ed- ucation within the TUnited States of | | America, without distinction of race, sex | | or creed,” with a sum which, it is said, will place the National University scheme of Andrew Carnegie completely In the | | shade, a bill has passed both houses of | Congress and is now on the table of | President Roosevelt for his signature. | The bill is a simple affair and does not mention or hint at the millions of dol- lars which are declared to be behind it as e donation of Rockefeller. It was intzoduced in the Senate by Aldrich of Rhode Island, soon after the marriage of | | his daughter to a son of Rockefeller. 1t ! was passed through that body at the last session of Congress without exciting dis- / cussion and without any public explana- | | of the real design behind it. In ex- planation of the matter in the House, Congressman Grow said: This is a Senate bill, passed unani- mously by that body to provide for a cor- poration in the District of Columbla that | may receive donations or gifts for edu- cational purposes which any citizen or &ny one else desires to make. That is its sole object—to have a corporation within the District of Columbia to have power to receive money or gifts of any kind from liberally disposed persons to be used for educational purposes in any State.” Grow said to-night that he understood in a general way that Rockefeller fa- vored the bill to the extent of desiring to ;| | coptribute a munificent sum to be used by the board created by the bill. The plan of Rockefeller, he said, was not to establish an institution in any section of country, but to make a contribution which might be distributed to various educational institutions throughout the country. There is nothing in the bill which limits Rockefeller or the contribu- tions to be made and the expectation is | | that with his example other wealthy persons benevolently inclined will take | advantage of the machinery provided in | the bill to distribute their money for edu- | cational purposes. | e o ST WOMAN MAY HAVE HELD { LIGHT ON A TRAGEDY ' —— THE N FRANCISCO CALL, T MONSTER NILE VALLEY RESERVOIR : AND DAM AT ASSOUAN ARE OPENED Duchess of Connaught Lays the Last Stone of Structure That Wil Impound Sufficient Water to Render -Strip of Land More Than Twelve Hundred Miles Long Subject to 'the Plow 2 DY OF COPVDADGET LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10.—A daiscovéry made to-day in connection with the sui- ' cide of Mrs. Rosa B.

It will hold and supply as needed 1,065,000,000 cubic meters of water annually and make two crops per year possible in the whole country below, a stretch vary- ing in width from sixteen to thirty-six miles and more than 1200 miles long, to say nothing of the deita country below Cairo. The plan was first proposed by M.

Boule, the latter dis- senting. The dam proposed was to have been twenty-two meters high and sixteen meters broad. The cost was estimated at about £2,000,000.

Since the laying of the cornerstone by the Duke of Connaught, on February 12, 1899, the work has been rushed by every means and aid known to modern engineering and com- pleted in a comparatively short time and at less than the estimated cost.

MINISTER BOWEN COMPELS THE RELEASE OF P HISDNERS preceding international troubles in which her good offices have been invoked. Bowen's report to the Department of State confirms the press dispatches rela- tive to the seizure of the Venezuelan na- val port of Caracas yesterday. .It is be- lieved here that the Anglo-German block- ade will not stop the entry into the port of American ships, but that if they land their cargoes the British and Germans will insist upon collecting the regular Venezuelan rate of customs dues upon them. Of course, this will involve the seizure of the Custom-house, and-in.turn it is expected that President Castro, un- less he concludes to abandon his resis- tance, will issue a decree closing the port to entries, and will insist upon collecting duties anew upon the same goods-1f they are passed Into the Interior of the country beyond La Guaira.

BERLIN, Dec. 10.—The naval plans of Germany and Great Britain provide for the patrolling of the Venezuelan coast by launches in order to prevent smug- gling and for the blockade of those Vene- zuelan ports where the custom-houses have not been taken over, in order to pre- vent vessels avolding the ports occupied by the allles. Naturally this procedure, if it becomes necessary, would require a number of As Great Britain has more ships available in the West Indies than Germany, a larger portion of the ‘work will fall on England unless Germany sends out additional crulsers, according to her intention. Official fuggestions supplied to the Ger- man newspapers and to the English cor- respondents here lay stress on-the fact that the United -States has undertaken to safeguard diplomatically the . German and- British residerits in Venezuela until the dispute be settled. Consequently any affront offered to the resident Germans and British which ¥s_not in accordance with international usage, such as arbi- trary arrest, would be an affront to the United States, and ,would cause that pawer to protest. - b AR gy o AR UNCLE SAM TO CALL “TIME.” Will Interfere if the Coercion Me: ures Become Too Drastic. 2 ‘WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Speaking gen- { erally, the United States in the entire con- troversy has reserved the right to say when the measures to coerce Venezuela are too drastic. It is not to be expected tkat this Government will allow Germany and Great Britain to overrun a little re- public which has been torn by revolutions and whose resources have been dissipated by former rulers, who made rash con- tracts with foreign capitalists which are now being enforced by a fleet. State Department officlals hope the situ- ation will lend itself to a peaceable settle- ment. While the chance of the: United States becoming involved is not so great as alarmists have assumed, the situation is yet critical because it is the first time 2 severe test has been made of President Roosevelt's declaration that the Monroe doctrine is not a shield for South Ameri- can republics which evade legal obliga- tions. The eyes of every South American republic are on the United States, and the administration realizes that its atti- tude must be sharply outlined now so that there will be nb uncertainty as to the po- sition it will assume in future troubles of a similar nature.

Appeals to the Venezuelans to Resist the Foreigners. PARIS, Dec. 10.—A Venezuelan Govern- ment communication to its representative here_ protests that Germany and Great Britain, acting in concert, have com- mitted an act of hostility in a manner as arbitrary as it is unprecedented' by the seizure of-Venezuelan vessels lying at La Guaira. - The communication says that indignation in Venezuela is at its highest pitch and’the Government is resorting to ‘justifiable reprisals. It has arrested the resident subjects of both hostile coun- tries and has seized the railways and other undertakings belonging to. them. At the same time, adds.the communica- tion, President Castro has appealed to the Venezuelan people to take up arms. He decreed a general amnesty for all political oftenses and has ordered the restitution of the confiscated property of Venezuelan citizens. . - Owing to the gravity of the situation in Venezuela' the French Foreign Office has directed Weiner, the newly appointed French Minister to Venezuela, to start immediately for Caracas without waiting for the arrival here ' of the Venezuelan RSDAY, DECEMBER 11 1902 APPOINTEES GET THEIR FFIGES Senate Confirms Nomi- nations of Western Aspirants.

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Dec. 10.— There was a great patriotic demonstra- tion in Caracas at 8 o'clock last night when the news arrived that the British and German warships had seized the Venezuelan war vessels at La Gualra. Crowds quickly gathered and paraded the streets and squares of the capital, dis- playing’ banners and singing patriotic | songs. .Violent speeches were delivered at varlous points. The populace march- ed to the palace of President Castro, who addressed it. The mob then moved on to the German legation, shouting *“Death to the Ger- | mans!” The windows were shattered | with stones, and attempts were made to | force the doors, but the latter resisted | these efforts, and Mme. von Pilgrim- Baltazzi, the wife of the German Charge | ‘Affaires, who has been ill in bed for the past two months, and therefore could not leave Caracas, was thus saved from violence. The crowd then marched to the German | Consulate and the residence of Dr. Koeh- | ler, stoning the windows and attempting i to force an entrance. The police made no | effort to disperse the demonstration. The excitement was still intense when, at_10 o'clock at night, the Government ordered the arrest of all the German and Fnglish residents. One hour later 205 | persons prominent in social and commer- ial life were crowded together in the po- | Hee station. All of the British,residents | were arrested except Alfred Cherry ‘of | the Venezuela-British Central Rallway and Mr. Wallace, manager of the tele- | prone company, who escaped to a place of safety. | Ninety-seven German residents were | arrested, among them the German Con- | sul, Valentine Blohm, and Herr Knoop, manager of the German Central Railroad. Herr Sitmmross, Chancellor of the German | legation, was met by the police near Bol- ivar Square and arrested. ! Amid cries of “Death to the Germans!"” | and “Down ~with the foreigners!” the| populace directed its way to the German | residential quarter and gathered outside | the Hotel Klindt and the German Club, | vociferating and uttering insults. The Belgian Charge d’Affaires, F. G.| Goffart, was arrested by mistake for, a | German, 'because of his fair complexion. | In gpite of his vigorous protests he was taken to the police station, but was re-| leased ten minutes later. | On learring of these incidents United | | States Minister Bowen and Secretary W. | . Russell went at once to see President stro and after a long conference, suc- | ceeded in obtaining the reiease of Dr. | Koehler, Mme. von Pilgrim-Baltazzi's | physician, and Consul Valentine Blohm. | Minister Bowen obtained the official | authorization of the Venezuelan Govern-| ment to represent British and German interests during the embroglio. The Gov- | ernment’ has placed an embargo on Lthe | British railroad to La Guatra and on the | German Central Rallroad from Caracas | to Valencia. The populace is still intensely excited | and the situation is regarded as critical. | The British and German flags have been | publicly burned. { STATE OF WAR EXISTS. Castro’s Backdown the One Hope of | Peace for Britain. LONDON, Dec. 11.—Great Britain fis| practically at war with Venezuela, but there is no disposition here to regard the situation as particularly serious. No dis- | patches have been received as yet from the commander of the British squadron, who will be compelled to send dispatches from Willemstad, Curacao, but unofficial | news of the seizure of the Venezuelan fleet and of President Castro's reprisals is regarded as quite trustworthy. The morning papers, commenting on the situation, recognize the possibility of awkward complications arising but are disposed to belleve that President Castro, | after making a show of deflance, may be brought to reason without the allied pewers having recourse to the seizure of customs. ¥ It is pointed out that by arresting the German and British residents President Castro_has weakencd his position and put himself outside the pale of international law, besides offending the United States. One paper suggests that the seizure of the customs has been delaycd in deference of the objections of the United States in landing troops and points out that the blockade of Venezuela will injure only British, American and German trade. Other papers discuss the enormous ex- pense and difficulty of conducting military operations in such a difficult country, should President Castro maintain g defl- ant attitude, and the questfon of the util- ity of spending millions of pounds sterling in coercing a country which cannot be ans nexed and is likely to prove bankrupt. In the House of Commons yesterday Under, Foreign Secretary Cranborne sald that the British claims which necessitated coercion would be disclosed fully by pa- pers to be laid before the House. They in- cluded a demand for compensation for in- terference with trading vessels, the im- prisonment and ill-treatment of British subjects and the destruction of property. The Under Secretary asserted that the Government would follow precedent in the enforeement of analogous claims. —_— < Postponement.
