4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1902, SENATORS APPROVE ADMINISTRATION'S POLICY, URGING THAT WATCHFULNESS BE NOT RELAXED Official Correspondence Shows Berlin's Desite to Respect Monroe Doctrine, ASHINGTON, Dec. 16—The Venezuelan question occupied the attention of the Senate in executive session to-day for al- | most an hour. The question came up informally almost immediately after the Goors were closed. Senator Tel- ler of Colorado, disclaiming all intention of being critical and saying he merely desired information, asked Senator Cul-| lom, chairman of the Committee on For- eign Relations, what information he pos- sessed as to the Venezuelan affair. Teller | said that th® situation was such that Senators felt that the Monroe doctrine at any time might become involved if the complication should continue. Senator Cullom replied that he had no knowledge of recent events not contained in the public prints. Bacon Lodge and Stewart all made remarks. In none of the addresses was anything harsh or critical said. The tone of all of the speeches, Whether by { Republicans or Democrats, was that the | attitude of this nation should be one of watchfulness. There was a general agree- ment that, while the means adopted by Great Britain and Germany for the col- lection of their debts bad been quite strenuous, they thus far had committed no infringement of the Monroe doctrine, | and therefore had done nothing to which ihe United States could takd exception. GERMANY’S FAIR DEALING. This was the position of Senator Cullom, 8s it was of other Senators who spoke. | Cullom said that much light as to the | attitude of the administration had been obtained by consulting the correspond- énce between the State Department and the German Embassador a year ago. He then called attention to the fact that on December 10, 1201, the representative of | Emperor Willlam had brought the sub- ject of Venezuela's debts and hen ap- parent indifference to them to the atten- | tion of the Secretary of State. The Ger- man Embessador, in his letter, gave the | Gepartment complete information from | the German standpoint of the position of his Government. He said that for seven years Veneszuela had fafled to pay inter- est on a debt to German citizens of about 85,000,000 contracted in the congfruction of | a railroad, and in addition there were other debts amounting to ‘about $1,700,000 due to German citizens from Venezuela, which it had been impossible to collect. He added that every known peaceable means had been tried to obtajn the money and that his Government, fobling that pa- tience ceased to"be a virtue, had de- cided to ‘use coercive measures. It was @esired, however, he said, that it should | be explicitly understood that, whatever | steps might be taken by his country, there was no desire to encroach on or interfere with the Monroe doctrine. This explanation, he thought, was due to the United States, as the only purpose of his Government was to assist its people in collecting debts due them. MONROE DOCTRINE’S SCOPE. Secretary Hay replied, on December 16, 1901, saying in effect that the Monroe doc- trine was not intended to shield any | American nation from the payment of its honest debts, and that its purpose was to prevent the acquisition of territory by | 0l¢ World nations. To further elucldate | the position of the United States on the | Monroe doctrine, be quoted from the first ennual message of President Roosevelt, which had been in the hands of Congress Zor only a few days. When Senator Culicm had concluded, Senzator Lodge calied attention to a state- ment attributed to Lord Lansdowne by to-day’s dispatches that there was no dis- position or desire on the part of Great | Britain to acguire any Venezuelan terri- — 1 oar, Senator Bacon of Georgia, a leading minority member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, said that on a guestion of this kind there was no party division; that everybody would stand with the administration in doing what was best for the general good. There was no de- sire on the part of any one to embarrass those who were in controi of affairs and upon whom devolved the duty of protect- ing American interests. The maintenance of the Monroe doctrine, he added, de- | volved upon the whole people. SHOULD KEKEEP CLOSE WATCH. Senator Hoar said that thus far noth- ing had been done to cause apprehension and he expressed the opinion that for the present the Government of the United States could do nothing more than keep & watchful eye on the situation. Senator Stewart dwelt somewhat on the bombardment of the Venezuelan fort and sald that that incident should be accepted by our Government as a warn- ing of what this cduntry might expect whenever excuse might offer. He gave as his reason for his admonition the fact that our recent acquisition of territory had aroused the jealousy of all the Eu- ropean powers and that they might at- tack us at any time. “Not in two generations,” he sald, “could we build up & navy equal to that of Great Britain, but we can strengthen our coast fortifications: and in view of Venezuela's experience it behooves us to do so.” As there was no formal question before the Senate the subject was dropped. phr i AR NEW ORDERS TO FLEET. Venezuelan Affair Upsets the Plans «Formed by Dewey. WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Disposition of the men-of-war of Admiral Dewey's flest during the holidays is to be made under the direction of the Secretary of the Navy, in view of the increasing complications grising in connection with Venezuela and the wishes of this Government not to arouse suspiclon unnecessarily by dis- patching a large naval force to Venezue- lan waters. Admiral Dewey cabled the department yesterday in regard to the or- ders for his fleet during the Christmas holidays. Orders are now in preparation for the various vessels and will be for- warded to the admiral in the next day or two. No reflection upon Admiral Dewey is intended by the Navy Department in de- ciding to give him orders for his ships, in- stead of giving him a free hand, as it was expected would be done. That there may be a thorough co-operation of the navy with the Btate Department in the hand- ling of the Venezuelan situation, how- ever, it seemed that the question could be more satisfactorily settled here, as the Navy Department is in possession of all the facts regarding the actions of the al- lled powers and danger of a conflict with the policy of the State Department will | be averted. It is unlikely that men-of-war wiil be sent to La Guaira, the feeling being that the presente of American men-of-war at this time might cause uneasiness among the allied powers, as well as offer encour- agement to President Castro to maintain his deflant attitude. On the other hand, the situation has grown so acute within the past few days that both- State and Navy Department officlals are agreed that it will not be unwise to rendezvous the fleet in ports within easy range of the Venezuelan coast. Rumor of Revolutionary Movement. NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—A Port of Spaln dispatch says that 6000 revolutionists are reported to be marching against Castro’s Government at Caracas. News from Ca- racas does not bear out this report. ADVERTISEMENTS. FAMOUS DR. BULL Co DR. JOEN W. BULL, of Dr. Buil's Cough Syrup.

But since rmany and Great Britain'have begun fo sink Venezuelan gunboats and bom- barded Venezuelan fortresses for the pur- pose of collecting debts, American sym- pathy has swung around to Castro. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that sup- port of the Monroe doctrine is involved. Yet the expressions of opposition to what is going on in the Caribbean Sea undoubt- edly will have some welght in coloring our future treatment of the questlon. | GREAT BRITAIN’S ATTITUDE. Peaceful Settlement of Dispute Ap- pears Far Distant. LONDON, Dee. 16.—Judging from state- ments given out by the Forelgn Office the Venezuelan situation to-night does not appear to be any nearer a settlement. Up to & late hour no suggestion had been made that Great Britain could eventually see its way to submitting its claim to arbitration, and the Foreign Office points out that Venezuela's offer to arbitrate is vague. President Castro, in the communication in which he expresses his willingness to resort to arbitration, provides no guarantee that the rights of British subjects in Venezuela will be re- spected pending the award. The Foreign Office appears to be with- out official cognizance of the attitude of the Washington Government, although it is convinced, unofficially, that Washing- ton is anxious that further hostilities be ayoided. It is known that the Foreign Office has made inquiry as to whether the United States would be willing to guarantee the fulfilling of Venezuela's pledges, either at the immediate cessa- tion of the present European action or pending the award of arbitrators. This inquiry resulted in a direct negative from the United States. ‘With the guarantee of the United States, the Foreign Office says, arbitra- tion in the Venezuelan, matter would be an immediate probability, but with only the word of a Government hitherto un- reliable; arbitration is difficult of accept- ance, even upon the points where inter- national relations admit of such a method of settlement. Replying to a question in the House of Lords to-day Lord Lansdowne, the For- eign’ Secretary, said that if the seizure of the Venezuelan gunboats did not produce the desired effect further coercive meas- ures would be employed. The question had been considered in consultation with Germany and it had been decided to re- sort to a blockade of the ports. It was not intended to land a British force and still less to occupy Venezuelan territory. ASKS FOR INFORMATION. McCall Introduces Resolution of In- quiry in the House. WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Representa- tive McCall of Massachusetts to-day in- troduced in the House a resolution direct- ing the Secretary of State to inform the House concerning any working agree- ment between Great Britain and Germany and the diplomatic officers of the United States, or any assurances by these gev- ernments to the diplomatic officers of the United States, as to the nature, extent or purpose of the joint demonstration of these ' governments agalnst Venezuela, and with particular reference to the oc- cupation of the territdry of Venezuela. The resolution asks thit correspondence regarding this subject be transmitted to the House; AMERICAN EMBASSADORS TO GREAT BRITAIN, GERMANY AND ITALY. e e % =3 italy Announces Tha.t She Has Joined the Allies. ASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—The Italian Embassador to-day called at Lhe State Department and advised Secretary Hay that ITtaly had joined the allies in the operations against Venezuela. He reqiiested that Minister Bowen assume charge of Italian interests in Venezuela, and the Secretary granted his rf‘qut‘s" subject to the approval of Venezuela, Italy enters the ¢omblnatiog on the same plane as to abstention from territorial seizures as Germany and Great Britain. The Italian Embassador explained to Secretary Hay that it had been the hope of the Rome Government-at first to reach a satisfactory settlement of her claims against Venezuela, such as France had obtained. To this end a polite but firm note was addressed to the Caracas For- eign Office after the ultimatum of Ger- many and Great Britain had been sent. Pending the answer to this note the Ital- ian Government did not resort to drastic measures. When the reply came it was found to be not only a rtjection of all of Italy’s demands, but its tone was wholly displeasing, and it was therefore nece sary for Italy to follow suit with Gei many end Great Britain and join in the allled nayal demonstrations. There is one Itallan vessel now at La Guaira and two more are understood to have sailed to-day for Venezuelan waters from Naples. Estimated at between 2,000,000 and 3,000,~ 000 bolivars, Italy’s claims are largely in excess of those of Great Britain, and the course of the Rome Government in not acting hastily has commended itself to the State Department. Before leaving this morning the Italian Embassador gave Secretary Hay every assurance that his Government wished to act strictly, in accordance with President Roosevelt's interpretation of the Monroe doctrine. ITALY’S CLAIMY ARE LARGE. Include Losses Sustained in Vene- zuelan Revolutions. ROME, Dec. 16.—The claims of Italy on Venezuela referred to by Foreign Minis- ter Prinetti in the Chamber of Deputies here yesterday comprise losses sustained by Italian citizens during the recent rev- olutipns. Most of the 7618 Itallan residents of Venezuela have been heavy losers. The Poggioli firm, from Blba, Is the greatest sufferer. All of its property was sacked. Other important losers are an engineer named Martinetti and ex-Deputy Fagi, controller of the Maricual coal mines, which were invaded by the Venezuelan troops, who\ destroyed everything and obliged the Italian miners to flee from the country. All of the marble works in Venezuela, besides other industries, were in the hands of Italians, hence the ag- gregate of the Italian claims for damages is large. The instructions transmitted to Captain Orsini, commander of the Ttalian cruiser Giovanni Bausan, now at La Guaira, are Lo act in full accord with the British and German commanders ia the blockade of the Venezuelan coast and, any otaer measures which may be considered neces- sary in order to reach tae desired object. The Italian Government, however, does not anticipate having to co-operate in a very serious action. It is said here that Signor Mayor des Planches, the Itallan Embassador at ‘Washington, asked Secretary Hay to re- quest Minister Bowen to assume the pro- tection of the Italians in Venezuela, if such a step became necessary, and that Hay complied with the request. PHYSICIANS DISCOVER THE GERM OF SMALLPOX It Causes the Decay of the Flesh and Is Present in All Malig- nant Cases. NEW YORK, Dec. 18—The World has the following from Cleveland: A discov- ery of vast importance to the world has just been made here in the isolation of the danger germ of smallpox. The dis- covery is' the result of an investigation that has been conducted by Dr. W. T. Howard, the city bacteriologist, and for which a special appropriation was made by the City Council. Health Officer Friederich said to-night that suc- o had crowned his efforts to discover the”smallpox germ. “We have at last,” ke sald, “discovered the danger germ. In all the cases we examined we found streptococcl, which is the ticular germ which causes blood poisoning. It is the germ which kills in smalipox. It ‘vauses Gecay of the flesh and is present in all malignant cases. If something can be discovered to destroy that germ it will be possible to master smallpox SANAL NEGOTIATIONS ARE STILL UNDER WAY Colombian Representative Says the Treaty Will Be Ready for Sub- mission Before Christmas.

Dr. Herran predicts that the treaty will be ready for submission to Congress be- fore Christmas. It is understood both at the State Department and at the Colom- bian Legation that the auestion of price is the only barrier to the conclusion of a satisfactory convention. Dr. Herran informed the Secretary that Minister Concha saned from New York for South America Satnurday last. It is understood he will not return to America. His sucessor will present his letter of re- call. Di it SEN s GAS TANK EXPLODES AND WRECKS A HOME Six Children Are Instantly Killed and Their Mother Is Fatally Injured. FORT LEE, N. J., Dec. 16.—By the ex- plosion of a small gas tank to-day the residence of John Puglughi was demol- ished, his six children instantly Kkilled, and his wife so seriously injured that her recovery is despaired of.

St SONR RUSSIA WANTS TO EXTEND POSTAL SERVICE IN CHINA Asks Permission to Establish Sta-| tions Along the Line of the Manchurian Railroad. PEKING, Dec. 16.—Russia is pressing China to assent to the establishment of customs and postal services at the prin- clpal stations of the Manchurian Railroad, these stations to be under Russian super- vision and independent of the Chinese maritime customs. Sir Robert Hart, chief of the maritime customs, is opposing the scheme, and the chances for his success are thought to be favorable. An edict announces that the Chinese Government proposed to acquire the China Merchants’ Steam Navigation Com- pany, which is owned by Sheng, a protege of the late Li Hung Chang, and the estate of Li Hung Chang. | | American public feeling. Germany Willing to Exempt Amer- ican Ships From Blockade Restrictions. ERLIN, Dec l6.—Secretary Hay's ] note excepting American ships from certain restrictions of Venezuelan blockade is favorably received by the German Govern- ment. “The Foreign Office treats the mat- ter ‘as not raising any essential difficulty 4nd d8-being within precedent, since Secretary Sherman made a similar reser- vation in the Cretan blockadé: The pre- cise status of American vessels under the biockade will be défined in an official noti- fication. he German Government has not yet replied to President Castro’s offer of ar- bitration, being still in correspondence with the British Government on the sub- Ject.

The Gov- | ernment’s concern at the present moment is to guide the application of force so as te avoid -what could be taken internation- aily as a declaration of war, resulting inl the recognition of Venezuela as a bellig- erent. The conduct of the United States is re- garded In diplomatic opinion here as be- ing strong and dignified and the State Department’s handling of the affair is looked upon as establishing Europe’s rec- ognition of the Monroe doctrine, because every step of Germany and Great Britain was made after taking into account what the United States thought of,it. At the same_time it is claimed that events in Venezuela are saving the United States | many future complications by letting the Latin republics understand that the Unit- | ed States will not ppptect them from the effects of financial delinquency and inter- nal disorder. The newspapers here to-day print long dispatches indicating that British publie pinion is aganist the partnership v.ith Germany in connection with the coercion of Venezuela and the papers are evincing a certain amount of pique. They suggest that Germany would have done better to act alone and the German ment must think sion before agreeing Britain, CONSULS TAKE A HAND.

Arrival of Warships Alarms Com- mander of the Fortress. LA GUAIRA, Dec. 16.—The arrival of the British cruiser Charybdis and the torpedo-boat destroyer Quail yesterday caused a scare among the population of this place. The commander of the fort- ress visited the Ameri , French, Span- ish and Dutch consuls and asked them, in case the British landed marines, to in- tervene to prevent firing on the fort and to delay any movement on the fort, as he had received orders from the Govern ment to evacuate the place. The com mander added that if the consuls refused to intervene and the fort were attacked he would defend his post and could not answer for the consequences to the town, which is without defense, with the ex- ception of a few armed policemen. At 5 o'clock, however, the Charybdis and the Quail left La Guaira and the fears of the population subsided. CAPTURES A GUNBOAT. | German Cruiser Falk Seizes the Mi- randa at Maracaibo.

Acid Dyspepsia, commonty called hearth burn or sour stomach, is a form of indi- gestion resulting from fermentation of the food. The stomach being too weak to promptly digest it, the food remains until fermentation begins, filling the stomach with gas, and a bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth is often present. This eon- | dition soon becomes chronic and being an | every day occurrence is given but little attention. Because Dyspepsia is not im- mediately fatal many people do nothing for the trouble. It is now well known among 'able physi- | cians that the whole constitution is grad- | ually undermined and weakened, that the [n?r\‘ts and vital organs are seriously af- | | fected by any form of dyspepsia. This fs plain, as every organ, every nerve in the body is "nourished by the blood and the blood is replenished from the food digest- ed. If.the food is properly digested the blood is pure, the nerves steady, but if supplied from a sour, fermenting, decay- ing mass the blood is vitiated, poisoned, | and the rEsult is shown in sleeplessness, lack of energy, poor appetite, nervous- ness.'
