REFUSE TO ACCEPT CASTROS RESIGNATION Venezuelan Congress Requests Gen- eral to Reconsider His Decision. The Venezuelan congress, by a unanimous vote has declined to accept President Castros resignation, and has passe'd a resolution requesting him to reconsider his decision. It is believed the president will yield to this expressed desire of congress and remain in power. . - The congressional hall was crowded Saturday, and all the members of the diplomatic orps werei present when President Castro read his message to first President Castro congress. conditerrible In review the passed tions which prevailed in tbe country, and denounced the terrors of his countrymen. But, he continued, If It is painful to consider how much blood has been shed, and how many tears, it is a consolation to think that their bitter stream, by the law of compensation, will bring something that should correspond to present day aspirations, since every struggle begets an idea and every victorious idea Justifies the supposition that an onward step has been taken on the road to human perfection. Our victory, citizen legislators, over the great adversities which have just oppressed us, must terminate the tumults of our life; otherwise we shall reach a shameful dissolution. In closing his - address. President Castro said: I now deliver my resignation in order that you may proceed legally to call on him who should take my place, so that there may remain to no Venezuelan the slightest pretext for any hostility to his country or for connivance with the foreigners who, without any grounds that have force, fell upon unfortunate Venezuela, trod-dln- g under foot reason and Justice, to the detriment of civilization and right. All the energies and possibilities of my life are at your service should it become necessary to arise and defend our country against the attacks of the foreigner.

OF Declares Face of Girl Whom He Choked to Death Haunts Him and Begs to Be Locked Up. He A special from Fremont, Neb., says: A man who gives the name of John Bennett, and who asserts he is the murderer of Nora Fuller, & girl who was killed at San Francisco over a year ago, has surrendered to Sheriff Bauman here and is being held. The man appeared at the jail door last night and begged the sheriff to imprison him, saying that the face of the dead girl haunted him. The prisoner is about 40 years of age, and well dressed. He is- - good looking, wears a stubby black moustache and weighs 185 pounds. To the Sheriff, to whom he confessed the crime, Bennett said that he formerly was a lawyer, but that he had done nothing since the murder. Bennett, in his confession, said he choked the girl to death at a house at 1121 Walnut street, San Francisco. He would not tell why he committed the crime, but said after it was done he left the city hastily. He was placed in a cell and during the night raved like a wild man. At one time he addressed a fancied jury. THE CUBAN TREATY. Bill as Amended by the Senate Now Becomes Law. The Cuban treaty ratified by the senate was negotiated in Havana December, 1902, between General Tasker H. Bliss, representing the United States, and Carlos de Zaldo and Jose M. Garcia Montes, representing Cuba. The United States senate made several amendments to the document. As ratified by the senate, it provides that ail tnerchandise produced by either country which now enters the other duty free shall continue free of Import duties. All other Cuban products imported into the United States shall enter at $ reduction of 20 per ceht from the fate of duty imposed by tllfi United States on such articles of merchandise. A11 imports Into Cuba from the United States shall be given a reduction of E0 per cent, with a few social gxcejp tions. ' It Is specifically agreed that tobacco In any form for Use shall apt be given iny Concession or rebate of duty wheq 6ttntrie Imported into Cuba. Both MTtea that the rates of duty granted during the life of thq treaty shall be preferential aq respects Islike imports from other Countries. It specifically provided that while the treaty is in force no Cuban sugars shall be admitted into the United States at a greater reduction than 20 per cent from the present tariff, and that no sugar produced in any other country than Cuba shall be admitted into the United States by treaty, while the new treaty Is in force, at a lower rate of duty than that Imposed by existing law.

After ratifying the Cuban reciprocity . ttfety, the senate adjourned sine die XSfc'sday at fifteen minutes past 5 oclock. Practically the entire day was spent behind closed doors in executive session. Most of the time was devoted to consideration of the Cuban treaty. Several speeches were made In opposition to the treaty and in favor of it, and then, promptly at the agreed hour, 3 oclock, voting commenced. Rollcalls were had on a number of amendments, and the treaty Itself was made the (subject of an aye and no vote. The motion to ratify was adopted by a ballot of 50 to 16, somewhat more than a s three-fourth- s vote, whereas only a vote was necessary to secure ratification.

There, have been no trains into or out of the city over the Memphis bridge, and there is every indication that traffic cannot ' be resumed until the flood has subsided to a large degree. So suddenly did the rise come in across the the section of Arkansa river from Memphis after the SL Francis levee broke at Trices Landing that two passenger trains were caught between washed out points and Are now surrounded by water on blind tracks in the overflow territory about three miles west of Bridge Junction, Ark. On each of these pastrains were about seventy-fivsengers and the crew and over 100 of these persons remain on the trains, with no prospect of being taken off. However, they are not considered to be in apy danger, and those who have returned from the surrounded trains report that the passengers are being well cared for by the railroad company. An effort was made Wednesday to send a steamboat and barges through the gap at Trices Landing for the rescue of persons and livestock in that district. On the way up the river the steamer was disabled and it returned to Memphis for repairs. Some persons were rescued from Marion, Ark., by means of skiffs, and the situation there is somewhat relieved.

' The Cuban republic will not give the Spanish government the contract to remove the wreck of the old Maine from the harbor of Havana. President Palma has caused this information to he transmitted to Spain. The initiative taken by Spanish Minister Abaruza seeking an appropriation from Madrid Cortes to enable the crown to bid upon the work and undertake the extraction of the wreck, while it may be appreciated by those Spaniards innocent of the charge of complicity in the destruction of the old Maine, cannot but be regarded in Cuban government circles as inopportune and premature.
