CASTROL BOLD MOVE Venezuela’s Long Harrassed President Proceeds Right Into the Enemy's Country. WILL REORGANIZE HIS FORCES Political Affairs in the RevolutionRidden South American Republic Promise at Last to Reach a Turning Po.zit Willemstad. Curacao, July 8. —President Castro of Venezuela left Caracas Sniiday. not for Valencia as had previously been announced, but for I-a Guaira., taking with him his private tjuard of 500 veteran soldiers and Gen. TVrrer as chief of staff. The president reached La Guira at 5 o’clock in the afternoon and left there at midnight on the steamer Ossun, his destination being Guanta or Barcelona, about 150 miles east of La Guaira. He intends to reorganize the government forces at and about Bercelona and assume the offensive against the revolutionists at once. Nobody at Caracas can explain this change in President Castro's plans, and the step taken is considered to be as perilous as the invasion of the Valencia district by the main army of the revolutionists- This force will be opposed by ths government army under General Seferino Castillo. News has reached here to the effect that 3.0G0 government troops under "General Modesto Castro, the president’s brother, were completely routed July 3 between Barcelona and Aragua "by troops of the revolutionary army under the command of General Rolando. The government forces lost all Their ammunition and equipment and many of the soldiers deser’ed to the revolutionists during the e.'gigement. After the battle the revolutionary army moved on Barcelona and surrounded that city. The inhabitants \v<-re panic-stricken, the shops were closed and the streets barricaded.

TROUBLE IS BREWING China's Refusal to Pay the Indemnity May Lead to the Partition of .the Empire. CRITICAL SITUATION OF STATE Payment Withheld Pending Settlement of a Contention Based Upon the Fluctuation of the Rate of Silver in the Ancient Empire. Pekin. July 2.—The Taotai of Shanghai has notified the bankers' committee that China refuses to pay the July installment of the indemnity, except at the rate of exchange prevailing in | April, 1901. The foreign ministers consider that the Taotai's announcement I is the result of the announcement of I the United States minister, Mr. ConI ger. to the Chinese government that the United States sustains China's contention and is willing to accept payment on the basis mentioned. But the ministers are confident that | China will be willing to accept the decision of the majority of the ministers I when she learns that the United States lis her only supporter. Some of the ' ministers insist that the policy of the ! United States is unreasonable and in I direct opposition to the terms of the ’ protocol. They assert that Prince I Ching, head of the foreign office, and ! other Chinese officials, before learning ■ that China had the support of the United States in this matter, admitted that their arguments were rather a plea for mercy than a demand for justice. NOTHING NEW | Situation In Anthracite Coal Region Remains Unchanged. Wllkesbarre, Pa., July 8. —With President John Mitchell in New York and all the other miners' leaders at Nanticoke attending the annual convention of District No. 1, strike headquarters is an extremely quiet place. The ninth week of the suspension of anthracite coal mining shows no change in the situation, there not being the slightest indication that either party to the controversy is ready to quit. The visit of the miners’ chief to New York continues to arouse interest. No word of his movements in the metropolis has been received here, and there is much speculation as to what caused him to go there. Conditions in and about the collieries remain unchanged. The entire coal belt is generally very quiet, very few men congregating in the vicinity of the collieries. The large force of coal and iron policemen estimated at 3.000 are kept constantly on duty for any emergency. There were several arrests made in this valley yesterday of persons accused of intimidating alleged “unfair” workmen, but the arrests were made so quietly as to cause no disturbance of any kind. It Was Loaded. Elwood, Ind., July 7.—George W. Cassady, a well-known plate glassworker is dead as a result of a bullet wound from a 3S-caliber revolver in the hands of his wife, received Friday night.

In handing the weapon to him the trtgger caught on a finger ring and was discharged. the bullet striking Cassady in the abdomen and passing out of the back, penetrating the spinal column. Neither knew that the weapon was loaded. The widow is prostrated with grief over the accident. Two Boys Drowned. Peoria, Ills., July 8. —Yesterday afternoon four young boys, Frank Can non, Frank Case, William Aur and Joseph Blondell, went out on the river in a rowboat. Case disrobed and began rocking the boat. Cannon, who could not swim, begged him to desist, which he refused to do. Finally the boat capsized and as the boys sprang into the water Cannon locked his arms about Case’s neck and they both went to the bottom. They did not appear again. When found three hours later Cannon’s arms were still locked about Case's neck. Aur and Blondell swam to the shore. Saved His Neck. Hudson, N. Y., July B.—Harvey Bruce, who with his three cousins.

Manila, July 7. —As a result of the proclamation amnesty July 4, the guard of American soldiers has been withdrawn from the house where Aguinaldo lived in Manila and Lieutenant Johnson. Aguinaldo’s custodian, brought the Filipino Sunday to see General Chaffee. It was the first meeting between the American general and the leader of the Filipino revolution. Lieutenant William E. McKinlay of the Ninth cavalry acted as interpreter. Aguinaldo was told that he was free to go anywhere he pleased, and Gen. Chaffee asked him if he had any complaint to make of American discourtesy or harshness. Aguinaldo replied that he had no such complaint to make. He told General Chaffee that he was going to visit friends at his home in Cavite Viejo, in Cavite province, and Inquired what protection the American authorities would afford him. He seemed to be afraid to venture out General Chaffee replied that Aguinaldo would get the same protection as any other citizen. The former Filipino leader then asked General Chaffee to prevent the courts from requiring him to testify in civil suits. General Chaffee replied that he had no authority to grant this request, and advised Aguinaldo to make a social call upon Acting Civil Governor Wright. This Aguinaldo said he would do. but that he would go at night, as he was timid about appearing on the streets in daylight. The release of the former Filipino leader has renewed speculation as to possible vengeance upon him byfriends of Luna and his other enemies. Luna was a Filipino leader whom Aguinaldo caused to be killed in 1899. Vatican Prides Itself.

HIS NOSE WAS SAFE. Bnt Illa Nerves Were In a State of Cold Chill Collapse. “I was sitting on the veranda of a far western hotel one afternoon,” said the Boston drummer, “and was lazily; smoking one of the nicest meerschaum pipes you ever saw when out of the tail of my eye I saw that a native dow n at the other end of the veranda had his gun sighted at me. They were a wild! lot around there, and I couldn’t tell whether he meant to shoot me or the pipe. The chances were in favor of the pipe, however, and it seemed a good chance to test my nerve. I made up my mind to let him shoot and to pretend a careless air, but I’m telling you jn the ten or fifteen seconds of waiting the sweat came out at every pore and my heart pounded my ribs sore. I felt a sort of tick at the bowl of the pipe, heard the crack of the gun and knew that the bullet had passed through the pipe. I got a brace with my bands and feet and waited for a second bullet, nnd it went through the bowl after the first. I sat there until his fourth bullet had hit the pipe and knocked the bowl off the stem, and then the shooter sauntered up to me and laughingly said: “ 'Excuse me, stranger, but I thought it was imitation.’ “ ‘Same as you are,’ I replied. < “My gibe hurt him, but he was man enough to tell everybody about my nerve, and the boys chipped In sufficient nuggets to buy me this fifty dollar smoker. Say, do you know what happened to me when I made an excuse to go up stairs after my old corncob? I had no sooner got into my room than my knees gave out, chills galloped up my spine, and I'll be hanged if I didn’t faint away and He there for ten minutes. It had suddenly occurred to me that the bowl of that pipe was only six Inches from my nose while the fellow was doing his shooting, and I have not yet got over touching my nasal organ now and then to see If it is safe.” A HONEYMOON CLOUD. Why the Bride Feared Her Hnshand Did Not Love Her. “It was pretty hard to have the honeymoon clouded before we had been married two hours.” complained a newly married man. “Fact is, though, the excitement of the wedding day took away the little sense I had remaining. “We were married at noon and, after dodging the customary rice and old shoes, left for the station. We had barely time to catch our train, and I rushed up to the ticket window at once. Then, once more, we had to r, the gauntlet of friends, who think it smart to throw rice down one’s collar and have it sift down into one's shoes. "We got into the train at last, and when it started I heaved a sigh of relief. When the collector came round for tickets, I handed mine over. After looking at it for a moment he asked me if the lady was traveling with me. “That was the last straw, and I snapped out for him to mind his own business. “ ‘That is what 1 am trying to do,’ he answered coolly. ‘One more ticket, please.’ “Then it tinsiied upon me tiiat in the hurry and excitement of the moment I had forgotten I hud a wife. I paid the other fare and tried to laugh it off, but the look that my wife gave me will linger with me as long as I live. It took me two hours to argue her out of the Impression that I didn't love her any more, and she isn’t fully satisfied yet.”—Kansas City Independent Rome's Aqneductu, The eight aqueducts of ancient Rome brought 40,000,000 gallons of water a day into the city.

A Boston paper says: “Spring is here at last. A butterfly was causht at the south end yesterday.” That may be the proper way to catch a butterfly, but whon you grab a wasp it ia'better to catch it about the equat< r shifting northwesterly toward the 1 eal. It would be of no use to tell the story of the empty box, for “there is nothing in it.” Or the stove-pipe, for “that is too smutty,” but the story of the hotel girl emptying the pan of dishwater into the traveling man’s grip might go, for it has not leaked out yet.”” ...Legal Advertising...
