St. Vincent. Dec. 9 The British cruiser Indefatigable, which has arrived here from Laguayra, Venesuela. brings reports that Preaident Castro, of that country, is defiant and indifferent to the threatened blockade. It is asserted that President Castro is prepared even to expel the German and British residents of Laguayra and to close that port. The Indefatigable left the British cruiser Retribution and the German cruisers Vlneta and Gazelle at Laguayra. There are now at present five British men-of-war at Port of Spain, Trinidad, ready to leave .here on short notice. MINISTER HOW II 151 ClltKGE. Looking; After British and German Interests la Venezuela. WASHINGTON. Dec. .-Minister Bo wen. at Caracas, has cabled the State Department confirmation of the press report that the British minister and the German charge (d'affaires withdrew from Caracas yesterday, after presenting an ultimatum. After they left these officials requested 3Hr. Bowen to take charge of the interests xif their countries in Venezuela. This request will be granted, as there is no warrant for a declination in such cases, and the United Statea legation at Caracaa will extcnfl protection to British -and German subjects when called upon, until a normal atate of affairs is restored. This la not likely to be the end of Minister Bowen's activities, for from the tenor of some of the communications he has made to the department it is Inferred that if he aees an opportunity to use his good offices as a mediator between President Castro and the British and German representatives, h' will promptly avail himself of that opportunity. The State Department is j t encouraging him In thia attitude, preferring to avoid all entanglements, but. be1 A on the spot and willing to do what he ran to prevent a crisis. Mr. Bowen may be allowed some measure of discretionary power. The State Department la perfectly aware of the intentions of the British and German governments, having be,en sounded In advance, and it sees no reason to interfere at this stage. If at all. It was perhaps for the reason that the ßtate Department had already been fully advised aa to the programme to be adopted by the British and German governments touching Venezuela that the incidents of rraaterday at Caracaa caused so little stir n official circles, and it was stated that the subject was not even mentioned at the Cabinet meeting to-day. So the attitude of our government Just now Is one of waiting. An official not long returned from Venezuela states that to the best of his judgment the sum of I5.ooo.000 will probably cover the claima on which the ultimatums were based. The principal claim is that of the German railroad, built at a cost of $10,000.000. on which Venezuela guaranteed T per cent. Interest, a figure reduced in 1st to 6 per cent., and in which case she has defaulted for several years. The English claim also covers a number of Items growing out of the government's appropriation of British railroads. Also outstanding Is a large foreign Indebtedness, but whether or not the claims of these bondholders are inWEATHER FORECAST. Cloudy and Warmer To-Day Fair and Colder To-Morrow.

arrearage on this account. a LIMIT Of THK I LTIMATI MS.

Venesoela Was .iveii Seventy-Two Honrs tu C amply with Demands. LONDON. Dec. 9.-One of the largest English creditors of Venezuela Faid today that the ultimatums of Great Britain and Germany had a seventy-two-hour limit, and therefore will expire on Wednesday. The Foreign Office, while not denying the correctness of this statement, intimated to-night that the period is liable to extension. There are some indications of a possible settlement, though apparently nothing definite has yet been decided. BERLIN. Dec. 0 While the limit of time given to Venezuela is not disclosed here, it Is officially stated to be very brief. The (ierman Foreign Office still hopes that President Castro will recognize the gravity of the situation and yield at the last moment. Telegraphic communication with l-aguayra is slow. Events happening to-day arc not likely to be translated from the cipher till to-morrow. It is learned that the officials at the German and British legations were instructed to leave Caracas at the end of twentyfour hours after their delivery if there was no prospect of a favorable reply. This, however, was left to their discretion. The officials could have extended their stay at the Venezuelan capital if they though it advisable to do so, and the fact that they left is taken to mean that President Castro does not show signs of giving in. Mew Revolution In Venezuela. WILLEMSTAD. Island of Curacao, Dec. 8, A new revolution in Venezuela seems probable, as Gen. Nikolas Rondo, the first lieutenant of General Matoe, has proclaimed himself chief of a new venture and has rallied 2,200 men from all directions. He is now at Lezama. General Rlera, another of Mato's lieutenants. Is now near Coro, having reappeared in that vicinity with 1.200 m n. who. on Friday last attacked the railroad. Revolutionists have also leappeared in the district of Barquislmeto in large numbers. President Castro was obliged t send 4,100 men against them. General Matos Id still here. FUNERAL OF T. B. REED. Body of the Kx-Speaker Placed In a Tomb After Brief Exercises. PORTLAND. Me., Dec. 9 Simple but impressive services, consisting of music, Scripture reading, prayer and a brief eulogy, were hfld over the remains of former Speaker Thomas Brackett Reed at the First Parish Unitarian Church in this city to-day. The edifice was thronged with a distinguished assemblage, which included the Governors of Maine and Massachusetts, the Loyal Legion, several Grand Army posts, members of the bar, city officials and delegates from nearly every political organization in the State of Maine. In a room which opened into the auditorium of the church were the widow and daughter, attended by a number of personal friends, and screened from the crowd in the main edifice. The day was one of mourning throughout the city. Many places of business were closed during the afternoon. Public buildings also were closed during the day. The pallbearers were Joseph Symonds. John C. Small, George E. Bird, Attorney General George M. Seiders, Judge Clarence Vale of the District Court, Robinson Williams. William Bradley and William R. AVoods. Rev. John Carroll Perkins, the pastor of the church, read appropriate selections from the Bible, following with pray r. After a short strain from the organ Mr. Perkins delivered the eulogy and closed his remarks with a benediction. The cask- t was borne to the hearse, and while the bells ofethe city tolled sixty-three strokes, one for each year of Mr. Reed's life, the funeral party entered -images. The little procession passed to Evcigieea Cemetery, where the body was placed fn a tomb to await burial in the spring. TRIBUTE TO HARLAN.

Senator Hoar was the next speaker. He concluded as follows: "There is, it seems to me, everything in the office of Judge of the Supreme Court to satisfy the loftiest desire of which human nature is capable. In it unite dignity, authority, permanence, security, honor, lasting fame, the most lofty of intellectual occupations, randan d delightful by lofty Intellectual companionship and the consciousness of being among the great benefactors of mankind. And when, after twenty-five years of service, we say of any man that he has worthily filled that place, there is nothing more to be said and there Is nothing more to be desired." Other speakers of the evening were Chief Justice Fuller, Justice Brewer, Hon. Bdward Blake, of Canada; Judge Alexander P. Humphrey, of Kentucky; Assistant Attorney General Beck and Mr. R. Ross ferry, of the District of Columbia. It was after midnight when the party broke up. TAFT MAY SUCCEED SIIIRAS. May Be Rewarded for Faithful Servlees In the Philippines. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 The prospective retirement of Justice Shlras from the Supreme Court, which was announced by his son some time ago would take place at no very distant date. It is believed here, may result in the promotion to the Supreme bench of William H. Taft, the chairman of the Philippine commission. Governor Taft's elevation to that court would be the fulfillment of the general understanding that he ultimately would be appointed to that court which existed at the time he resigned from the fedral circuit bench in Ohio and took up his present duties at the request of President McKinley. It also will be in the nature of a reward for his long and arduous work at the head of the Philippine commission. Should Governor Taft retire, the expectation ia that his successor as chairman of the commission will be Gen. Luke E. Wright, of Tennessee, now vlcfl chairman of the commission. Hon. W. w. Rockhill, now at the head of the Birnau of American Republics, and who rej i -sented the United States in China, is mentioned as a probable successor to Governor Wright. No confirmation of the possible changes is obtainable in official quarters, but it is not denied, that the changes outlined have been given consideration. WON'T WORK ON SATURDAYS. Seventh Day Advent ist Who Is Worry inn the Treasory Department. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. An interesting question has arisen in the Treasury Department in connection with the case of Mr. Elmer Pettiford, a clerk in the office of the auditor of the War Department, a Seventh Day Adventist, who declines to work on Saturday. Auditor Rittman was willing that Pettiford should absent himself thirty Saturdays in taking his annual leave and should remain away the other Saturdays in the year without pay. I.. ist Friday, however. Mr. Pettiford was notified that owing to the increase of work he would be required to report for duty the day following. He remained away, however, and following his absence formal charaea of mteconduct and delinquency were filed against him. and he was given three days in Which to reply. The rule of the Civil-service Commission provides that no person shall be dismissed from office because of his political or religious opinions or affiliations, and its application to Pettlford's case is under consideration.

WEATHER IS BITTER COLD I WMPU Tl RE SLI MI'KD TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE WITHOUT WARMMi. All Sfw FnKlnnd in the Throea of a Zero Wa ve Schools Temporarily lowed at Philadelphia. NKW YORK, Dec. 9. New York and New England h ive experienced during the past twenty-four hours the coldest weather for many years. In this cily it was the coldest Dec. 9 in twenty-six years, the thermometer registering, as it did in that year, 8 above zero. The severity of the cold was intensified by the fact that the people were not prepared for it, the cold wave having descended upon the country suddenly and without warning. Then, too, the scarcity of coal caused much suffering among the poorer classes, and those who could not afford the luxury of a ton of anthracite coal had to use it sparingly, for the cold snap might last, and they would not be able to get a fresh supply. Every effort is being put forth to alleviate the suffering, charitable unions having taken stops to supply Um poor, and the board of aldermen having voted $100,000 to help along the good cause. In every coal office to-day there were num1 rs of anxious buyers, and at the same time eager inquiries for coal were constantly coming by telephone. To all but a few the dealers were forced to turn a deaf ear. Ve can't promise you more than one ton, and we may not be able to deliver that for a day or two," was the stereotyped reply to all demands for fuel. The situation was admitted to be extremely bad, and, according to one dealer, there appears to be no way of relieving it. At the meeting of the Board of Aldermen a resolution Was unanimously adopted .taking the board of estimate and apportionment to authorize an issue of reserve bonds to the amount of $100.000 for the purpose of purchasing anthracite coal to be distributed free, under the supervision of the ti t merit of Public Charities among the. needy poor of the city during the winter. During the day the rivers were covered with a heavy mist, showing the great dtf- ; bet wann the temperature of the air and water. The cold in the city was mild compared with that prevailing in the northern sections of the State and in New England. At Albany the mercury fell to 10 below zero, and la some near-by districts it went down to 20. The river is frozen over at Albany, putting an end to navigation. Ralston reported 32 below, the lowest registration since VBKL, and Saratoga felt the grasp of weather 20 below. In the Adirondack region and along the Champlain valley the thermometer registered between 17 and 20 below. Navigation on the upper Hudson closed early in the day, steamers which had not reached winter quarters having to be towed out of the ice. The cold wave struck New England at the same time it arrived in New York. Throughout Maine and Connecticut the thermometer registered from 8 to 25 below, a fall in some places of 40 degrees in twelve hours. Norfolk, Conn., reported a temperature of 'i degrees below zero, the coldest in years. Cause of Shortaare nt Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9.-Owlng to the scarcity of anthracite coal four public schools were closed to-day by the Board of Education. During the day, however, the Institutions were supplied with fuel by the Reading Company and will reopen tomorrow. The decrease In the supply of bard coal was explained by Reading Company officials as being due to a succession of holidays. Saturday the miners worked only a half day, the mines were idle Sunday, and yesterday few of the collieries w. ra in operation because of a church holiday. FIRE LOSS OF $500,000.

Several Indiana Cities "Will Be I eluded In the Circnlt Meeting of National Lragae. iiThe organization of the Central Baseball League will be perfected at a meeting of those Interested at the Grand Hotel in this city to-day. L,. D. Smith. Of the Terre Haute club, arrived yesterday and the r?st of the magnates will be here early this morning. This league will be composed largely of Indiana cities and will be stronger than the old Western Association or the Interstate League. H. W. K'a'dermon, of Marion; L Maunter, of Fort Wayne, and Mr. Bement, of Evansvllle, are the principal promoters of the new organization. Mr. Smith said last night that representatives from South Bend. Grand Rapids, Dayton, Mansfield and probably other towns who desire to get Into the league will bo here. The league will probably be composed of eight cities Evansvllle, Terre Haute, Marion, Fort Wayne, Dayton, Grand Rapids, Mansfield and South Bend being the ones most favorably spoken of, although Youngstown and Wheeling are also being considered. Youngstown Is a good ball town and may bo taken in preference to South Bend. Wheeling desires to get into the league, but Its geographical location is slightly against it. Terre Haute and Evansvllle were members of the Three-1 League last season, and the attendance In the two eitles showed that they should be members of a larger organization. The Central League as proposed will be compact and composed of good ball towns. Cities desiring admission must be able to play 8unday ball.
