BERLIN, Dec. 13.+President Castro's reply to the German ultimatum is' a re- fusal to yield on any point. The Foreign Office has not received the text of Presi- dent stro’s reply, but only a bulletin | from the German Charge 4’ Affaires, Herr von Pilgrim-Baltazzi, dated December 10, announcing that the President’s answer had been placed in his hands that day and that the Venezuelan executive re- fused to yield to the German demands on all points. This telegram, with the text of the reply, was filed at Port of Spain, isiand of Trinidad. With this exception the Foreign Office has received mo news since yesterday to indicate that the situa- tion has grown worse. A landing in force is not considered probable under any con- tingency. The orders to blockade the coast stand, and that is all the naval commanders for the present are author- ized to do. ‘ Any proposition that Minister Bowen | might make in behalf of President Castro would be received in good spirit and care- fully considered out of regard for the channel of its transmission, but no propo- | sition to arbitrate has yet reached Berlin. | Neither is the Foreign Office aware that | the United States has made so far any | suggestion to arbitrate.

This argument is‘ wanting in efficiency, firstly because the treaty is valid only be= tween the German empire and Colombia, and because section ‘three of sald article puts no obstacle in the way of a diplo- matic defense against German claims arising out of acts committed by the Co- lombian Government or its organs. Like- wise the affirmations of the Venezuelan Government are not correct that foreign claims consequent on Venezuelan civil wars have never been arranged by diplo- matic course, for because of like arrange- ments which Venezuela concluded with France in 1885 and with Spain in 188 a formal agreement was signed on the 6th of February, 1896, between the German Minister at Caracas and the Venezuelan Minister at the order of their respective Governments for the arrangement of the German claims consequent on the civii war of 1892. SECOND POINT UNTENABLE. “Nor can importance be given to the other objection of the Venezuelan Gov- ernment—that diplomatic defense of the present claims is inadmissible—because an adequate road to a settlement is open by the decree of the 2ith of January, 1901, since the proceedings provided for by thé decree do not constitute a guarantee for a just solution of those claims. “As bas been repeatedly said to the Venezuelan Government, ~ firstly, claims anterior to the 23d of May, 1899 (which is the date of the rising headed by the pres- ent President of the republic), are ex- cluded, while Venezuela will naturally have to answer for the acts in-forming governments! Secondly, all diplomatic intervention against revolutions or by commission, we must exclude, appeal to the federal high court being alone per- mitted. In spite of this, however, as has been seen, there were some cases where judicial employes depended on ‘the Ven- zuelan Governmnt, and when occasion 1S BOMBARDED ernments have agreed to proceed jointly to obtain satisfaction of all demands. “VON PILGRIM-BALTAZZI, “German. Charge. d’Affaires.” The above documents have :mot been made public in Venezuela. t Venezuelan ' Account of the Fate of the Seized Ships. CARACAS, Dec. 13.—The following de- tails of the capture of the Venezuelan vessels at La Guaira on Tuesday by the Anglo-German forces have reached here: At 4 o’clock on Tuesday afternoon thir- teen boats manned by 240 British and German seamen and towed by two steam launches, without giving any notification of their intention to the Venezuelan au- thorities, entered the harbor of La Guaira and proceeded-to the docks.~ The German contingent, belonging to the cruisers Vi- neta and Falk, went on board the Mar- garita, formerly the torpedo boat Rayo,; which was given to Venezuela by Ecua- ‘dor, and, with revolvers in hand, com- pelled the men who were occupied in re- pairing her to abandon the -ship.. The | _German_seamen smashed the _térpedo tubes, the compass and the machinery and left the Margarita in dock in this dis- abled condition. The Germans afterward boarded the Ossun, a freight steamer belonging to. a Frenchman and chartered by the Govern- ment for the transportation of troops, and ordered the few sallors on board to quit the vessel, which they did without making any resistance. The German steamers cut the anchor chain and towed her outside the harbor. At the same time the steamers of the British cruiser Retribution boarded the General Crespo and the” Tutmo and obliged their crews to lower the Venez- uelan flag and leave the vessels.' The Venezuelans made no resistance. The British bluejackets then icut the vessels loose from their anchorage and towed them outside the. harbor. The Venezuelan crews were allowed to re; turn to the shore. - : 3 The captured steamers were seen ‘at 11 has arisen they have been deprived of their offices without formality. “Finally, the payment of any claims which a commission might allow was to be effected with certificates of a new debt of the revolution, to be created for that purpose, which from what has been séen hitherto would scarcely have value. In fact, the procedure employed by the Ven- ezuelan Government has not led to a sat- isfactory solution of the claims. In par- ticular the . few German claims which would be presented to the-commission have been in part unseemly refused, ir part reduced, evidently in an arbitrary manner, and even the recognized claims have not been paid, but the injured par- ties have been asked to submit to a pro- ject of lJaw to be submitted to Congress. After the failure of several attempts to induce the Government of the republic to modify. the decree in said points, the Im- perial Government has been obliged itself to examine its subjects’ claims and im- mediately present to the Venezuelan Gov- ernment those which were found justi- fied. It is true that afterward the Vene- zuelan Government raised the possibility of obtaining a favorable solution by Con- gress, but the law which was sanctioned by Congress at the beginning of the year only repeats the insufficient provisions of the decree of the 24th of January, 1901 Besides, it only ‘comprises claims which c::.lld not be duly presented;to a commis- sion. > -“Afterward the Venezuelan Government conducted its correspondence in an almost offensive tone, and finally published the notes referred to, among which were some marked ‘confidential,’ without the consent of the Imperial Government, ac- companying them with a memorandum couched in offensive terms. GERMANY’S ULTIMATUM. “In spite of the sincerity of the desire which animates the Imperial Government to maintain existing good relations with Venezuela, and although far from desirs ing not te respect the sovereignty of the republic or to intermeddle in its interior institutions, it can only see in the pro- ceedings employed by the Venezuelan Government an intention to deny to the German claims the settlement due them in conformity with international law. It therefore believes itself compelled to con- tribute in a definite manner to their im- mediate satisfaction. “The Imperial Government has conse- quently instructed-me to pray the Vene- zuelan Government to satisfy without de- lay the German creditors, which, accord- ing to my note of the 315t of December last, amount to L7IS,815 bolivars 67 cen- times. Furthermore, the manner in which German . claims gonsequent: n the -war have been treated by the Government of the republic has led the Imperial Govern- ment ‘to think that other claims of fits subjects against the ‘republic also stand in need of support. To arrive at a just conclusion, therefore, German claims con- sequent on the present civil war and the credits of German houses occasioned by the construction of the slaughter-house at Caracas and the amount due the Great Venezuelan Railroad for interest and amortization scrip of the 5 per cent Vene- zuelan loan of 189, which were delivered in redemption of a guaranty of interest, must be considered in the same light. “By order of the Imperial Government, I have to ask the Venezuelan Govern- ment to make a declaration immediately that'it recognizes in principle-the correct- ness of these demands and is willing to accept the decision of a mixed commis- sion with the object of having them de- termined and assured in all their details; The Imperial Government hopes the Goy- ernment of the republic will satisfy the just demands of Germany and not oblige the Imperial Government itself to enforce their satisfaction. At the same time,!the Imperial Government thinks it should nat omit to mention that it has been inform- ed by the British Government of its claims against Venezuela.

It is a fact that the Retribution returned alone a few hours later to La Guaira, and it was fmpossible for her to have conducted them efther to Curacao or to Trinidad. The Government complains that the German sailors ate the meals prepared on board the captured steamers for the Venezuelan crews. PRESIDENT CASTRO AN INDIAN. Rapid Rise Has Made the Dictator Overconfident. - BERLIN, Dec. 13.—Dr. Passarge, the noted traveler, who has just returned from Venezuela, says: “President Castro is a full-blooded In- dian and an energetic man without po- iitical wisdom. He rose suddenly from nsgistrate of a remote village at the foot of ‘the Andes to the Presidenoy and his fapld rise made him overconfident. & “The present situation is due to two facts: Germany suddenly suspended the pressure of the early part of the year, | ¥hic....diminished the respect in which she'was held by President Castro; second- ly, ‘the: attitude of the officlals of the Great Venezuelan Railroad toward Pres- ident Castro. .Germany's first principle must be not to‘meddle in the Internal af- “fairs ‘of 'Vehezuela, but the railroad of- ficials forget - this.” ! ! Dr.. Passarge describes the - state as drifting to certain decay and as following a steadily downward course since General Blanco’s Presidency, . The color question plays an important role in political ten- dencies. The negroes, Indlans, etc., are getting an upper hand in soclety and pol- itics. : Anis i BRITISH SHIP SEIZED. Captured and Pillaged by a Mob at Puerto Cabello, LA GUAIRA, Dec. 13.—The British steamer Topaz, from Cardiff, was seized by the rabble at Puerto Cabello on Wednesday and pillaged. The captain and crew were held as prisoners, but were released to-day and the steamer will sail at noon to-morrow for Cienfuegos. - It'i1s learned from a Government source that on the advice of Minister Bowen a calm and cool attitude for twenty-four hours more has been advocated, and that it the Anglo-German forces disembark at La Guaira the troops at the fort and the newly erected redoubts will not fire on them, the object being to obtain time for Washington to answer as to the pro- posal for arbitration made to Berlin and London. President Castro has ordered that re- prisals are to cease, and yesterday he gave instructions that all the property of the British and German railroads and British telephone companies should be re- turned. The, Government will retain still the control of the La Guaira Raflroad, but its administration will be left inde pendent. ALY it CASTRO WITHDRAWS CONSULS.

Notice of the fact came to the State Department from United States Con- sul ‘Smith at Port of Spain. It is pre- sumed that Venezuela has sent out simi- lar orders to all of her other Consuls in British and German possessions to with- draw from their posts.

To my delight I found a change set in for the better within three days, and in eight days [ was entirely weli. “T have advised others to use it, and mll séem to join in its praise, as well as yours truly.”—J. Emile Tanguay. H. A. Weicher, Deputy Coroner Chi- cago, Cook County, IIL, writes from 123 Wrightwood avenue, Chicago, IlL: “L hear nothing but praise from al} who have tried Peruna. It cured me of catarrh of the throat in a few days, and 1 consider it by far the safest, surest and most reliable remedy to use in cases of catarrh and colds.” —H. A, Weicher. Mr. Adolph Koehler, president of the North Side Turnerschaft, writes from | Clark and Leland avenue, Chicago, Iil.: “It is with pleasure that I endorse Pe- | runa as a first class medicine, especially for catarrhal affections of the throat and lungs. I have used it with much beneflt and several of my friends have been cured of catarrh entirely where Peruna was used.”—Adelph Koehler. “Nothing Better Than Pe-ru-na for Catarrhal Troubles,”” Says Con- gressman C.

For throat, lung and catarrhal trouble there is nothing better than Peruna.”—C. P. Dorr. Colds Lead to Chronie Catarrh. A common cold is acute catarrh, which quickly becomes chronic catarrh if ale lowed to remain. Every cold snap leaves in its trail thou. sands of cases of catarrh, many of whom for want of an effective remedy will suf- fer from this disease the rest of theiw lives. Is there anything that can be done to prevent all this? In the first place, Peruna used at ths proper time will prevent taking cold. Tn the second place, Peruna will cure a cold in from two to five days. Again, Peruna will cure catarrh quick- 1y in the first stages, and finally, Peruna will also cure chronic catarrh If used properly and persistently. Peruna kept in the house and prop- erly used will therefore not only act as a safeguard against the ailments which result from sudden cold waves, but will also prove a sure remedy for this class of ailments. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case; and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advide gratis.
