Leader -Ac- cuses President of Barbarism. Declares Him Guilty of Inhuman | Cruelties That Have Caused Uprising of the Entire Nation. - By GENERAL MATOS, Leader of Venezuelan Revolution- ary Forces. Cabls to The Call and New York Copyright, 1903, by the New York Publishing Company Special Herald Herald WILLEMSTAD, Jan. 6.—The present misfortunes of Venezuela come from the presence at the head of the Gov- ernment of a man destitute of morals, of administrative ability—a real savage. Curacao, Venezuela has suffered great, commo- tic in the last ten years, but even in those difficult perfods the duties of the ministration to_the country have main~ tained respect for society- and for the rights of citizens and consideration for foraigners. . Castro was a man entirely unknown, who rose by chance to the highest magis- trac He has never learned anything, because he listens to nobody and ‘never studies. He has always been the same. His arbitrary actions in the interior have been the cause of the uprising of the whole nation. There is no eruelty which has not been inflicted by him upon all who have been considered emenies to his authority. He has placed in unhealthy prisons soldiersy merchants, farmers, young and old men, and has carried his cruelty even to putting them into irons of forty pounds weight. In this way for more than two years the unhappy laborer and the poor fisher- to the revo- man, who have given water lutionists, have seen their houses burned and their boats destroyed. Defenseless cities have been subjected to pillage and bombarded without clemency for the | crime of having been occupied by a revo- lutionary army. What is happening to-day in Venezuela is without precedent, be se an uprising of such magnitude could have been caused only by a soldier of fortune as cruel and as ignorant as Ceneral Cipriano Castro. If 1 am not mistaken, we will see that the powerful American nation, instead of refusing to serve as arbitrator fop reason moral personality of the Govern- at Caracas, will not only accept the burden, but will solicit it as its duty to the American hemisphere and to human- ity. Once the revolution is triumphant, civilization will return to Venezuela ana we chall see our country free, prosperous and happy. Thus I answer your cable- gram. CASTRO SCORES AGAIN. 6.—A high official of the ezuelan Government said to-day: am greatly surorised at the press blegrams saying that importance has been given to the last of the several CARACAS, Jan Ve | propositions contained in President Cas- tro’s answer to the powers in the matter | of referring the Venezuelan difficulty to the arbitration of The Hague tribunal. This proposition was intended simply as a compliment to President Roosevelt as | Chief Executive of the greatest of Ameri- can republics. President Castro -is elated to-day over the capture by his troops of all the ammu- nition destined for the Matos revolution- ists, which, it is alleged in certain quar- ters here, the allied powers permitted to reach the Venezuelan coast at Coro. It has been learned here that the allies have declared that the blockade of Coro will begin to-morrow, January 7. As a result of the Government's victory | over the revolutionists at Guatire last Sun- day General Fernandez, one of the revo- lutionary leaders, has offered to treat with President Castro The assertion that German marines landed on January 3 at Puerto Cabello and occupied the wharves for two hours and a half is proved by photographs whiche were taken of the marines while hey were on shore. Acting United States Consul Volkmar, who has acted as intermediary between German naval officers and the Venezuelan authorities at Puerto Cabello, declares that Count Oriola, commander of the Ger- man cruiser Gazelle, has informed him as follows: “The artillery which was in- the fort called La Vigla, commanding the harbor of Puerto Cabello, has been removed: it must be replaced immediately: in said | 1O Fhe authorities of this port do niot‘know how to interpret the action of the German commander in forbidding the removal of the artillery in question; they consider this removal of the artillery as proof that they have no intention of firing on the- bay or the allies. The population of Puer- to Cabello expects repressive measures o follow the removal of the guns. shos i PEACE NOW IN SIGHT. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Secretary Hay has received the British and German an- | swers to President Castro's last proposi- tion relative to arbitration. The British note Is interlocutory, but in -substance states that if Venezuela wishes a confer- ence with a view to submitting the differ- | ences between tie two countries to arbi- tration Great Britain will accede. The conditions attached vary slightly the original proposition, but in the judg- ment of officlals here .the differences be- tween the allies and Venezuela in regard {o arbitration are much diminished, and- there is warrant for the expectation that the case will now surely go to The Hague. from President Castro. Germany’s note is similar Great Brital to that of ADVERTISEMENTS. FOR DESSERT, SUNDAY, JANUARY 11th, 1903, try JELL-O, prepared according to the following recipe: BANANA CR E,"fl .

Three People Die Suddenly Under Peculiar Con- ditions. L Eight persons met sudden and tragic | deaths yesterday. Three were victims of { asphyxiation, one was drowned in the | bay, one took carbolic acid and the other | three died at the Central Emergency Hos- | pital from causes which the Coroner will | determine later J. D. A. Ahlers, who conducts a saloon at Folsom street, was asphyxiated in the rear of his resort, where he slept. | Death was probably accidental, as the lsas escaped from two jets in the show window of the saloon and the gas jets and | { his death ‘were properly turned off. | Ahlers went to bed about 5 o'clock yester- day morning in an intoxicated condition | and it is supposed that he accidentally turned on the gas again after putting out the lights. Frank Dimmick, who lives upstalrs over the saloon, detected the odor of gas about 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and no- ticing that the saloon had been closed all | day long, he became suspicious and called in Policeman Prendergast. Ahlers’ body was found lving on the floor in the sleep: ing room. He was 50 vears of age and had no relatives here. | An unidentified Mexican laborer from San Jose about i years of age was found | dead in bed vesterday forenoon in a room in the lodging-house at 301 Montgomery | avenue, He was dressed only in his un- | derclothes and was kying on top of the | covers. The room was full of illuminat- |ing gas and the gas was turued fully om| lat the burner. The Mexican engaged the | room last S8unday evening. | Peter Holtzhelser, 58 years of age, a| ) widower, was suffocated in his bed last Monday night at his home, 1625 Vallejo | street, by gas escaping from an open | burner, The body was discovered by Ed- win Schmidt, his son-in-law. S Peter Nesser, a Swiss cook, residing | with his.family at 168 Clementina street. | ! jumped off Howard-street wharf vester- day morning while insane from delirium tremens and was drowned. The body was recovered a few hours later. He was em ployed n the Vienna Bakery on Kearny | street. Maria Loose, a middle-aged woman, who lived at 609'¢ Natoma street, was found | Iying on the sidewalk in gn unconscious condition and taken to the’Central Emer- | gency Hospital, where she died a few minutes after arrival. The cause of death | | can oniy be determined by the autopsy. C. Scheper, who lived “at 919 Mission street, suffered the same fate. He was found in his room in an unconscious con- dition and died shortly after being re- moved to the hosnital. Edward Smith, who was treated at the Central Emergency Hospital Monday last, died yesterday at the City and County Hospital. The cause of death is un- known. 3 | =Willilam Hunter, who had been a team- ster in this city for twenty years or more, committed suicide last night by drinking carbolic acid. He had been out of work ‘ for several weeks and was in destitute circumstances. In order to drown his sorrows he had been drinking heavily for | the last three weeks. | About 8:15 o'clock last night he entered a saloon at-512 Fourth street and ordered | a drink. After the liquor had been served ! to him he _emptied into it a bottle con-| taining tw@ounces of carbolic acid. With the remark, “This will be the last drink that I will ever take,’ he swallowed the deadly mixture. He became unconscious almost - immediately afterward. He was taken to the Central Emergency Hospital in a patrol wagon by Officers J. T. Mc-/ Cormick and James Boland. Despite the cfforts of Dr. Leonard the unfortunate man died in about twenty minutes after | he was placed on the operating table, After he had poured the poison into the | liquor Hunter deliberately corked the empty bottle and replaced it in his pock- | et. The label on the bottle showed that | it had been purchased at the Washington | pharmgacy, 33 Fourth stréet. For many years Hunter was in the em- | ploy of the Morton Draying and Ware- house Company. He was about 65 years of age and as far is known had no relatives. He was well known among the teamsters of the city. The Twinlock Loose Leaf Ledger is now shown ‘in this city for the first time.

Big John McNulty and Jockey _Ward Are Among the Favored Ones. Chinese Highbinder Who Left San Quentin to Cook at Governor's Ranch Is Also Given His Freedom. e Governor Gage yesterday granted par- dons to a score vr more of convicts, some | of whom had been sentenced by the courts to spend the remainder of their days in the State penitentiary. Among those who recelved executive clemency was Richard Phelan, former superintendent of the Gold Ridge Mine, who was serving a twenty-five year sentence for the mur- der of Danlel O'Connor, near Sierra City, in October, 1867 Phelan claimed at his trial that he acted n self-defense, but the jurors who tried him didn’t g0 view his act and rendered | a verdict bf conviction. Phelan has had influential friends at work ever since his | conviction, and it was reported several menths ago that he was about to be par- doned. Gage, for some reason, deferred the granting of freedom to Phelan -until late yesterday afternoonm. Augustine Castro, who enjoyed the somewhat undesirable record of being the oldest copvict in San Quentin Prison, was also pardoried. Castro was paroled sev- eral months ago, nd since then has been leading a quiet life. After his parole he visited San Francisco greatly astonished | by the many improvements made in the metropolis during his long detention be- hind the penitentiary walls. Mah Noon, the Chinese highbinder whose salads and dainty dishes suited the eplcurean taste of the Governor and se- cured a parole and a position as cook on the Gage ranch, was also pardoned. Mah who is regarded by the local police as a desperate highbinder, was serving a sen- tence for assault to murder when grant- ed a parole. ? 'John McNulty, the murderer for whom the gallows was erected in the County Jail three different times, and on whom _ the death watch was placed six times, and whose sentence was subsequentiy commuted from . death to life imprisonment, was also pardoned last night by Governor Gage. The news of McNulty's pardon recalls one of the most celebrated murder trials in the his- tory of the city. On March 5, 1888, Mec- Nulty killed a man named John Collins. | He. was tried shortly afterward on a charge of murder and sentenced to be hanged by Judge Murphy, who thought McNuity's crime was unjustifiable. McNulty had many friends, and they gave J. N. E. Wilson a big fee to defend | him. The case was taken to the Supreme | Court, which sustained the judgment of the lower court. Carroll Cook, who was then practicing, was cailed into the case and he commenced a fight for McNuity's life, which was perhaps the most persist- ent one ever put up by any lawyer in the State. Judge Cook went before the United States Supreme Court in Washington and received a stay of execution. After that, writ followed writ, and every time the hangman got ready for McNulty, | Judge Cook managed to get out a new writ to save his life. Once McNulty escaped from the County Jail and it was several | | days before he was captured. Finally a law was passed changing the place of exe- cution for crimes committed in the State to the penitentiary. It went into effect on a certain day and McNulty was still alive at the County Jail, where the trial to ‘be hanged. Judge- Cook took advantage of the tech- nicality, and as much sympathy had been aroused in McNulty's behalf, Governor Markham commuted his sentence to life imprisonment. * Judge Cook always belleved that Me- | | Nulty should never have been ‘convicted of anything ~more serious than man- slaughter and during the last few years he nas been- working for his pardon. He went before Governor Gage last Saturday and argued McNulty's case for hours and showed the Governor irregularities in the testimony which convicted MeNuity, which evidently made an impression on the Governor, Governor Gage also commuted the sen- tence of Jockey Richard Ward from life imprisonment to ten years. This com- mutation of sentence will allow Ward to go free next November. Ward murdered John Kelley with a pitchfork at the old Bay District racetrack some years ago. Heirs Fight for Thirty Years. OAKLAND, Jan. 6.—After litigation ex- tending more than thirty years, the heirs of the late Irene Kolb comé into pos- session of twenty-five lots in San Fran- cisco and Oakland and 320 acres of land in Solano County by a decision rendered by Judge Ogden to-day.

Gertrude Smyth, whose handsome home is under the Sheriff’s hammer, has appealed her case to the Supreme Court. The Union Savings Bank foreclosed a mortgage of $9000 upon Mrs, Smyth's home after hav- ing extended the time for payments on many occasions. e SR e VIENNA, Jan. 6.—Major Horace Gienth- worth Devandrie, the only American serving in the Austrian army, died yesterday. ———————— MONTEREY, Mexico, Jan. 6.—The strike at the Guggenheim smeiter has been ended through the efforts of Governor Reyes.

In which Sheridan refused to participate, saying that he knew nothing of the game. When the question of money was discussed Sheridan flashed his wealth and the bunko men lost no time ‘h: seizing it and making their escape. | The arrest of the Johnson brothers is but the first of many that are to follow The police are determined to break the ring of swindlers and to punish the perpetrato of this crime In particular.
