1
A MERRY WAR 13 REPORTED TO
BE GOING ON ,N AMERICAN
LEGATION.
THE BLOCKADE MUST CEASE
Claims His Foe Hacl a Razor.—Dusky
Belle Involved in All of the
Trouble Now Going On.
Caracas, December 26. —President.
Castro has telegraphed from ~a Victo
ria his acceptance of the proposal to
submit all pending difficulties o the
übitraton of The Hnjrue tribunal, sub
jeet to certain conditions, which in
clude cessation of t* blockade am
the return to Venezuela of the fleet
seized by the powers* Castro’s accep
tance has been transmitted to the
Washington government, whence the
proposal emanated.
No Confirmation Obtained.
Washington, December 2(5.- No con
firmation could be obtained in Wash
ington tonight, of the report coming
Horn Caracas that the proposition had
been made to President Castro tlial
all pending difference:* between Vein
zuela and the European governments
having claims against, her be submitted
to arbitration of The Hague tribunal.!
Seeretaiy Hay had retired when the
dispatched reached V.'irbingtou and no
other official of me state department
was able to give any information on
the subject. If is known that only
two days ago President Roosevelt had
not determined whether or not, to me
eopt the proposal of the as
iUHm.aim’ to Use qre *~
lion going to The Hague. If, ar, slat
ed, the suggest lon lias come from
Washington that the matter should he
arbitrated at The Hague, that conelu-
sion probably was reached at the long
conference the president ban with See
letary Hay yesterday afternoon when
the two officials were together lor
some time considering the proposals
from tin* allies that, the president fake
lip the question of the arbitration. The
dispatch to President Casta o, through
Minister Bowen, suggesting arbitration
at The Hague, must have followed t|int
conference. The officials here have
refused absolutely to say anything on
lln subject since the receipt of the
proposal from the allies or even !o
give out. anything hearing on the
tends of that, proposal. The impres
sion here tonight is that an early deter
mination of the matter will lie reach
ed.
No twitter by whom the matter is ar
bitrated, either by the president or by
The Hague tribunal, tlie feeling here
is strong that, the United States gov
ernment, if .e occasion arises, will
insist that, the existing blockade be.
called off while the arbitration is 1 in
progress. The presence of the block
ading fleet along the Venezuelan corn
is sure t<> in* a menace* to pcaefeu] con
ditions and difficulties of various
kinds may arise at any tiny through
the arbitrary action of some of *he
commanders of the ships of the allied
fleets nr to the intrepidity of some
skipper who may attempt 1.0 run the
blockade. Ruf the greatest, objection
to a continuance of the •blockade ponc
ing arbitration will be the loss to
| American shipping interests which
this government does not. believe
should lie tolerated.
Roosevelt Undecicded.
Washington, December 2b.— lt was
said at the state department today
that the president had reached no tie
vision In regard to the Invitation ot

COLD WAVE
IS WITH US
THERMOMETER TOOK A BIG DROP
YESTERDAY AND WE HAD
FREEZING WEATHER.
A cold wave which prevailed Thurs
day in the northwest arrived hi this
section yesterday, and Brunswick ex
perienced the coldest weaiher of th<
season last night.
The advance guard of the cold wave
struck the city Thursday afternoon
amt during the night the theimometer
mercury exhibited a rapid downward
tendency.
At 11 o'cloc.v last night almost freez
ing wather had been recorded and it
has been predicted that by this mori
ing a temperature of 30 degrees or
lower will prevail, it is anticipated
that the cold will grow more intense
during the day and that by tonight
Brunswick will see the coldest weath
er of the present winter so far.
The weather began to change per
ceptibly yesterday and late in the af-
Hu noon the cold assumed a Idling,
chilling nature that brought overcoats,
cloaks, and other warmth promoters
into demand. Ay high north west wind
manifested itself forcibly throughout
the day aud tins added to the ch.ill
ness of the atmosphere. At. an early
hour this morning 11 seems to be get
ting < older.
Intense Colo in Northwest.
The cold wave is caused by a very
high barometer over the northwest,
aim which is bearing down in this di
re* lion. The center of the wind will
pass to the north of the slate, and for
111 is reason its full effects will not lie
.ell iii this section.
Tho non Invest was in the icy grasp
oi the cola wave yesterday and last
night, and in Some section| the mer
cury- traveled considerably below the
_zero>,.mar j>. A .temperature of j.B de
grees below zero prevailed at Huron,

sh'iiie from a cloudless sky anu crisp,
bracing air rendered the day perfectly

They danced a while, they fought
awhile, and then those wno remained

This was the result ot a dance Wkieh
was given by Eugene Bunting, and Ins

black eyes to their partners. The po

"dance” which was in progress and
Officer Low wais detailed to go and,

When the officer arrived on the

NEGRO ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Jiin Callaway Came Near Losing His
Life By Too much Celebration.
Jim Callaway, a well known negro
hack driver, came very near losing
life Christmas night and received a
wound in his breast from a 32-calibre
pistol.
It seems that ;:u was somewhat
"loaded” and went to his home 011 Kg
motn street to ha ve a "rough house
lie pulled otu his pistol and began to
handle it promiscuously when some of
the others in the house endeavored to
secure the weapon before he shot
someone. In the struggle the pistol
went off, the hall entering the negro’s
breast about half an inch below his
heart. The wound, however, did not
prove to be a serious oue, and the ne
gro was on his hack as usual last
night. ,

The eoineuience of sensational trou

NEGROES AT EVERETT WERE
LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
Several of Them Parade Around With
Loaded Guns.
There came very near being a seri
ous clash among the negroes at Ever
ett yesterday, and flora what a News
reporter learned last night it seems
that a nunher of the colored
tants of the place were parading
around all during the clay with loaded |
guns, waiting and wishing for trouhle.
It seems that bad blood has existed
between two crows at that place for
some time, and a previous iow was
he* cause of tne trouhle yesterday.
Agent Rooney was seen by a repre
sentative of the* News last night- and
when questioned as to the trouble I <j
stated that it was true that a number
of negroes were seen around the sta
tion with loaded g'ins. Mr. Rooney
says the whole substance of me trou
ble is over the saloon at Everett. A
certain class want to see it run out of
Ihe place while others are fighting to
