W1LLEMSTAD, Oct. 6. "Today a rep-
rrtrntallTn of thu Associated Press Inter
viewed Dr. Alejsndlno Urbanojn, prosldent
of thn cierutlvo committee of, tho Venu
zuctan nationalist revolutionary party, rs-
gnrdlng tho political situation. Dr. t'r
bnncja la tho virtual leader of tho party
and tho pergonal representative of "lit
Mocho," General Hernandez. Ho wna u
cahtnot minister under former President
Crcspo and Is a prominent lawyer. Today
lie Is In fixlle lu Curacao.
"Tho nationalists until tho presont time,"
said Urbaneja, "havo passively witnessed
President Castro's attltudo and actions
toward Colombia, but thty aro now com
pelled to protest against them. Neither
tho nationally nor tho country at largo
liavn ever sustained the actions of Castro,
actions which now promlHo an International
war. The nationalists do not desire war
with a slBter republic, nor would thoy fol
low Castro In such n war. On tho con
trary, they, oh well ns the country at large,
would rcfuso to participate.
"If Colombia bad ovor really offended
Venezuela thero would be no necessity of
Castro's forcible recruiting, as at present,
In order to obtain an nrmy to punish the
offending country. In such an event nil
Venezuelans would loyally nnd onthusl
ti.itlcally Join to punish tho offender.
MiiNt Obtain Ommrnl of (!onnrr,
"I do not think President Castro will
declare war against Colombia. In the first
place to do no legally, ho must obtain
the consent of thn Venezuelan congress,
which will not convenn before February.
In thn second place, 1 do not believe mem
bers of tho Venezuelan congress, although
they are. all partisans of President Custro,
would ever consent to a ruinous war with
Colombia In order to help Colombian revo
lutionists. Neither do I believe In tho
possibility of thn reconstruction of Gran
Colombia by force of nrms. IlolIvar'H
achievement wits effected undor certain
conditions that do not exist today. Per
haps a Grnn Colombia Is possible through
.peaceful. Intellectual operations, but never
by.-'mllltary force. All tho talk now In
dulged In on this subject Is a mere pro
text, a blind to cover the personal am
bition of n fow men.
"President Castro recently ordered tho
Imprisonment of nil nationalists in Vene
zuela. This convinces mo that ho doe's
not Intend to declare war against Colom
bia, because offer eliminating tho nation
alists them would bo comparatively few
Venezuelans left who could be counted
upon to supply tho men and money neces
sary to wage hostilities Against Colombia.
In tcrnnt IoiihI Politic Involved.
"My principal reason for not believing
n drlarntlon of wnr will be made lies In
President Castro's attltudo toward tho In
ternational political situation. If he In
tended to declare war ho would attempt
to unlto Venezuelans, of all political creeds
In a solid front against Colombia. Quite
the contrary Is tho cose. Ho Is persecuting
the numerous nationalities and the latter
will before long lose patience, turu on
tholr tormentor, actively and In arms, and
declare against him la retaliation. In tho
Improbable event of bis declaring war
against Colombia, President Castro would
recolvo only the support of a fow of tho
most cxtremo of his partisans. Tho others
would desert him.
"Concerning El Mocho, who Is a prisoner
at Sun Carlos, I can say that notwith
standing hla continuous solitary confinement
In a dark and unventllated cell, notwith
standing tho chains on his arms and legs,
ths lack of exercise and tho wretched
food, his health la enduring tho severe
train."

"While It 1 true that tho American

that President Castro's attack was reported

The National Kcltung says: "President

NEW YORK, Oct. 6. A special to thi
Journal of Commcicc nnd Commercial Uul
lctln from Washington nays:
Tho Wnr department has Just mnde pub
lie the revised "customs tariff of the Phil
Ippino archipelago," as enacted September
li by the United States Philippine com
mission. It takes effect November 15. Tho
new tnrlff Is a revision of the provisions
of gensrnl order No. 43 of tho United
States military governor lu tho Philippines,
dated October If", lS'.iO, nnd the several or
ders Hiipplcmental thereto aud amendatory
thereof.
Its promulgation nt this time may bo
reg.U'dcd ns an Indication of the belief en
tcrtalned by tho Wnr department that tho
supreme court will probably take the same
view In regard to tho constitutionality of
revenue relations with the Philippines ns"
it did In tho cane of Porto Rico. That Is
to say, says the Journal of Commerce's
Washington correspondent, so long ns tho
Philippines nro tinder tho control of the
i Wnr department and In the absence of
specific action to tho contrary by cou
gross they, for customs purposes, nro ro
gnrded as forolgn territory.
The new tariff was drafted for the pur
pose oi producing ii.ouo.uuu revenue a
month. Its formulation has been entirely
by new methods. It has been published
and republished, and exporters nnd ltn
porters havo been Invited to examine It
i nd suggest changes or amendments, lie
fore It renched Its final form It wns found
that these suggestions nffected only ubout
0 per cent of the echcdulcn. '
The new act, an already noted, tnkes
effect November 15, but this docs not npply
to goods In transit on that date. Such
merchandise, provided It nrriNcs In thn
Philippines within sixty days nfter No.

CoiiKreiiiiiiii Sliiifrnlli Think Phil

Tlimi They Are Worth,
DENVER. Oct. . Congressman John F.
Shafroth, who has been traveling In Chlnn
nml the Philippines for tho last four
months, has nrrlved home. Speaking of
tho conditions in tho Philippines ho nald:
'Peace has been practically restored.
Thoro Is still n llttlo insurrection in Sn
mar, but aside from that everything Is
fairly quiet. I do not believe, however,
that tho retention of tho Islands will be
profitable, as the government will havo to
expend a great deal of money nn them
even In tlmo of peace. It costs now be
tween $60,000,000 und $75,000,000 a year to
keep soldiers thero anil even If tho number
Is reduced to 30,000 the expenso will still
be greater than the profits of tho Islands.
Theso islands uro unquestionably rich, but
their benefit to tho United States will not
materialize until a generation or two has
passed and tho need for au nrmy lu tho
Islands has gone."
In regard to China, Mr. Shafroth says
"Tho trade of tho United States with China
has grown rapidly and this country will
soon bo keeping pneo with thn strugslo for
supremacy. Tho danger of the Invaalun of
American fields by the Chinese is not very
great a.T long as tho exclusion act la in
force, bin ns this expire next May the
problem will bo ono for thn government to
again consider. So far tho government has
not allowed tho Chinese to enter tho Phil
ippines, nnd I presume will exclude them
thero ns long as they are kept out of tho
United Stntes."
Mr. Shafroth looked into the sliver nues
tlon In tho Philippines nnd will, when con
gress meets this winter, submit a plan for
tho reopening of tho mint nt Mnnlla and tho
establishment of free coinage of tho silver
of tho Islands. Moxlcnn nnd other silver
coins nro now circulated In tho Islnnds
nnd, as American bills and gold command a
premium in China nnd neighboring coun
tries, most of tho American money Is now
driven out of tho country.

MILITARY DEFIES COURTS
Lender In Manila llefnae lo Gl
IJ Prisoner In Civil
Aiitliorl t le.
MANILA, Oct. 6. Considerable Interest
attaches to tho rnso of Oakley Brooks, a
military prisoner to be deported. The su
premo court recently Issued a writ of
hnheas corpiiH, directing the production of
tho prisoner, but the military authorities
refused to deliver him on thn ground thnt
the only tribunal having Jurisdiction over
n military prisoner wns tho supremo court.
Whllo the Philippine courts, wero estab
lished by tho wnr powerB of tho prosldent,
tho military authorities contend thnt they
nre to bo regnrlrd as provost courts until
congrcBS has acted.
Tho members of thn supremo court and
n majority of tho members of tho Phil
Ipplnn commission hold opposite views,
but It Is understood that tho nttornoy gen
eral br'.toves thn military contention to
bo correct.
General Chaffee, discussing tho matter
today, said: "I am most desirous to sus
tain the civil courts In ovcry possible wny,
but I feel that It would bo very unwlso
In tho existing circumstances to allow the
civil courts to Interfere In mllltnry affaire.
as It Is occasionally necessary for tho mili
tary authorities to Interfere In enseB whero
It would be utiwlsn In thn Interest of tho
government to make public the reasons
for acting. Should tho claim now mado
by tho civil courts bo allowed, It would
bo disastrous to tho Influoiico of tho nrmy
In tho Island. Every prisoner sentenced by
a military commission would have recourse
to habeas corpus proceedings. "Even How
ard (tho alleged deserter) Is awaiting this
decision In this enso In order to try to
secure his own relense by a writ of habeas
corpus."

Political Career.
LONDON, Oct. 6, A fairly well attended
meeting of nnnrchlsts was hold yestorday In
n hall In Tottenham Court 'Road to hear
n lecturo on tho nusasslnntlon of President
McKUdcy by R. E. Kelly of New York.
Tho, audience, largely composed of foreign
ers, npplnuded nil references to "Saint"
Czolgosz and his meritorious act. Tho
speakers Included Emllo Mnstlln, tho
Italian anarchist, who described tho ni
snsslnntlon as "A deed of horolsm." Kelly's
lecturo was a wild harauguo In denuncia
tion of Mr. MeKlnley's political career. Ho
declared that they did not try to Justify
tho ncaasHlnatlon, but rather to explain
It ns tho outcomo of tho oppression of work
men by capital.
"If tho killing of McKlnley opons tho
oyes of tho capitalists and Induces them to
trcnt tho working people better," cried thn
agltntor, "then grcnt good will havo been
done."
The Standard, protesting editorially
agaltiflt tho holding of the meeting, nays:
"Wo publish n report for tho purposo of
drawing nttentlon to the criminal mothods
that nre practiced, lu our very midst. It
may bo allowed thnt tho form of Kclly'H
address was not especially violent, yet ho
went quite for enough to call for tho notlco
of thoHo whoso duty It Is to stop npologlna
for murder. Wo do not want any Kcllyn

men with such mischief. Society Is en
