Determined to Compel Caatro to Act
in Better Faith
PATIENCE IS FINALLY EXHAUSTED
Venezuelan Dictator Must Disavow
Offensive Attitude Toward French
Charge d'Affairs at Caracas or Negotations
Will Be Broken Off.
Paris, By Cable.?The offensive attitude
of Venezuela toward M. Taigny,
the French charge d'affaires at Caracas,
has aroused indignation in offi
vim ijuuriers nerc. Although the Ministry
lias not yet taken deCtiite action.
It is said in the highest quarters that
Premier Rouvier undoubtedly will demand
that Venezuela disavow the offensive
action and adopt a course conformable
with the usual courtesies of
diplomatic intercourse. The Venezuelan
authorities are now seeking to
show that their action was directed
against M. Taigny personally, and not
against the French government, but
officiels here do not accept the distinction
between M. Taighv's personal and
official capacity.
The semi-official Temps Friday
printed a leading article reflecting the
official sentiment on the subject. It
said that M. Taigny has been ordered
to insist on Venezuela's withdrawing
her positive refusal to deal with him.
If the withdrawal is made and President
Castro makes an apology, then the
negotiations will continue. If Venezuela
does not accede it will he unwise to
immediately break off diplomatic relations
by the withdrawal of M. Taigny.
since this would leave French interests
unprotected. The best course would

leader of the Liberal party and the
most able orator of the lower house,

political parties, the Liberals and the

by a party of Liberals, who fired on
/ them, killing Chief of Police Illance.
The police returned the fire, killing
Villuendas and wounding several others.
Intense excitement prevailed at
Cienfugos and Havana. The government

news spread throughout Havana the
Liberals and Moderates are rapidly
gathering in their respective clubs,
nnd it Ik feared that unless the leaders
give wise counsel a clash may result

about six persons were killed and 25
wounded during the conflict.

IMMIGRATION AND QUARANTINE
Great Gathering Tailed Foi the Consideration
of Livo Topics.
In the development of the South, vital
Questions are Involved aside from
these which tend solely to its material
growth and progress. Its matchless climate,
generous soil, riches in minerals,
fields and forests; its beauty in hills,
alleys, fruits and flowers: its wealth
in fountains, streams and rivers are
indeed priceless gifts from Nature's
treasury, yet they are onlv snnm nf
factors that contribute to the advancement
and welfare of a people.
The possession of health, the cultivation
of mind and morals, the establishment
of right rather than might
and the reign of truth and justice?
these are the things more to be prized
than all others for which mankind
should strive, for these are the foundations
bn which the ages of Christian
civilization must ever rest.
Frtrui time immemorial these are the
standards by which the people of the
South have sought to be measured, and
there is no stronger obligation resth
on its citizens today than to earnest
desire and honestly endeavor to upho
these standards for the benefit of tl
present and fntnre generations.
To the thoughtful observer of passin
events this proud heritage is being no
naced from two sources at this tim
and it is to emphasize this fact an
concentrate public sentiment thereoi
that this call for a Southern Immigrt
tion and Quarantine Conference is set
out.
In the attempt that has been mad
by various cities, towns and commun
ties in the South to protect themselve
from the dread ravages of yellow feve
the most strenuous and at times unreo
sonable, unnecessary and burdensom
measures have been adopted, measure
that not only tended to cripple and d<
stroy business and commerce, bt
which reflected on the very instincts <
our common luimenitv nmi
reproach to civilization itself. It is ev
dent, therefore, that some uniform sy?
tem of quarantine should he adoptc
that will allay the apprehensions of th
people, and minimize the dangers n
suiting from an outbreak of this do
ease. This Is necessary if we shoul
save our land from the demoralizin
and brutalizing tendencies of a pani
inspired quarantine.
Again, there are coming into th
United States at the present time, lai
ger numbers of foreign immigrant
than ever before in our country's lik
tory. Among these are great masse*
who are wholly undesirable and whoj
it. will he impossible to assimilate wit'
our institutions. There is apparently
desire or tendency to bring many
these undesirable immigrants to Sout
ern ports, and also to distribute th
from Northern centers. Into the So'
Unless proper safeguards are insti
ed now. these classes will come among
us In such numbers as will inevitably
lower our standard of citizenship, destroy
our present peaceful labor conditions.
and mongrelize our population.
The South will welcome desirable immigrants
from any and all lane'.-;, but
it has already racial problems of such
gravity that no others should be invited
until proper safeguards are pro
viucu iii ituvuni'f in meir coming.
For the foregoing reason, therefore,
this call for a Southern Conference on
Immigration and Quarantine, to he
held in the city of Chattanooga. Tennessee,
on November 9 and 10. 1905, and
we designate the following persons as
those expected to compose and participate
in this conference: Governors of
Southern States; members of Congross;
Commissioners of Agriculture;
Mayors of cities; one Representative
from National. State, County or City
Boards of Health; one Representative
from each Railroad System, preferably
the Immigration Agent; the Editor.
Publisher, or Proprietor m Newspapers
nnd not more thnn live representatives
from each Commercial Organizations in
the South.
All parties thus designated may consider
themsehes fully authorized under
this call to aid in furthering its object,
and are requested toco-operate with us
in mnkiny the same what it should be
for the South.
Mexican War Pensioners.
Tar! oro. Special.?-Mrs. Susan Wiliams,
aged 75 years, a pensioner of
the Mexican war. was struck by the en
g'.ne of a freight, train from Rocky

Quarantine Against Cuban Ports.

Officer T^ber ha3 declared a quarantine
against all Cuban ports, because
of the prevalence of so-called "dengue"
fever hi Havana and other parts

of the quarantine against all
