received from Oklahoma City says: A
settler from the new reserve reports hav-
ing seen soldiers fire into a party of SOON
ers yesterday. killing eight OF them. The

brought the news says Indians from Paui's
valley have joined the Kansans and are
determined to drive out the Texans.
KINGFIsHER o. T., April 20.-The ex-
element has not yet entirely abated,
though compared with yesterday the day
was quiet. Some hundred wagons have
started north since morning, and many
passengers are waiting for trains. About
400 persons are still in line at the land
office.
UNION CRY, o. T., April 20.-Report
comes from nine miles west of here that

CHICAGO. April a0-The government
officials this morning resumed search for
contraband tobacco sent here and to other
cities by San Francisco ringsters who have
been defrauding the customs. The treas
ury agents received dispatches from San
Francisco and New York this morn
ing. and on the information contained
therein an inspector was sent hurriedlv to
city in Ohio where it is believed 100
bales OF the tobacco were sent for disposi-
ton. Meyer Il Son, C. Heller and s. Kul-
lenbach are among those who had dealings
with the San Francisco men and were
vietimized by them. They have given
Collector Clark some valuable informa-
ton, and it is believed that before MANY
days the tobacco will be located in Chicago
and seized.
NEW York, April 20.-John Fortman
and Otto NJ. Schneider have been held IN

the charge of bribing customs inspector.
Schneider was a customs broker and Fort

is alleged. vas for the purpose OF securing
a false register OF the weight of a
consignment of frecrackers. This
Is the beginning of series
OF wholesale arrests of importers
and customs employees for defrauding the
government By undertaking imports.
Some seyenty-hve persons, it is said. are
implicated IN the steal, and the sum thus
taken aggregates over $500. 600. Importers
customs inspectors, weighers and assist
ants, as well as some gangers have formed
ring which appears TO have been operat-
ing successfully for . number OF years.

PARIS, April 2o.-Great CONSERVATION
was caused on the Boulevard de ItalIens
today by a shabbily-dressed man, who
stopped in front of the Cafe Richie and
bombarded the windows with stones.
An anarchist outrage came to the
minds of the occupants of the cafe. and
they fed in confusion. The man was ar

Mowbray declares that he disproved Of the
incendiary article at the time it was
published, but his objections were over
ruled and he severed his connection with
the paper. He appealed to the magistrate
to allow his release on bail. that he might

refused bail, but permitted Mowbray, ac-
companied by an officer, to attend the

s.ealings reach i, 600, 900 marks. 1t is said
that Jaeder has the greater part of the
stolen money in his possession. and under
an assumed name is endeavoring to reach
some foreign country, probably the United
States.
Herr Jaeger's father had been head
cashier. Jaeger is married and has several
children. The long connection of his
father and himself with the great concern
had won for the younger Jaeger the re-
spect and esteem of members of the
bourse. 1t is reported that he speculated
in the bourse and his ventures proved I'M
successful, and to this fact is attri buted in
great measure h is downfall.

THE WYOMING FEUD.


Not Likely That the Rustlers Will Try
to Capture Cattlemen From Soldiers.
CHICAGO, April 2o.-A Times special from
Douglas, Wyo., says: Evidence of bitter
ness of feeling between the two factions of
cattlemen is apparent on every hand. and
public sentiment is nearly evenly divided.
Pressure is being brought to
bear by property-owners to have
the military interfere in the interests
of order. Private dispatches from Omaha
today say that whenever Governor
Barbour sees fit to call for mill
itary assistance it will be furnished
from Fort Robinson. The town
of Glen Rock is IN a state Of great excite
ment. The people are all warm sympath-
izers with the rustlers, and reports say
they have sworn to kill the first one of the
big cattle owners or their friends that
comes to town.
DOUGLASS. Wyo.. April 2o.-Colonel Van
Horn, with three companies of cavalry, is
said to have left Fort Mckinney on Sun
day morning. They expected to reach
Douglass on Friday, but the severe storm
will undoubtedly delay them. The prob
ability is that they are about Sand Creek,
seventy miles away tonight, and cannot
possibly reach Douglass before noon on
Saturday. They may send courier
ahead, however, and have special train
meet them at Fort Fetterman, in which
case they will reach Cheyenne on Satur-
day evening. 1t is believed that the So
called avengers have decided to let the law
take its course and will make no hostile
demonstrations.
MILES CRY, Mont, April 20.-The Stock
growers Association of Montana has
taken formal action in the rustler matter.
1t passed resolutions setting forth the de-
predations of the rustlers and pledging its
honor and support to the stockraisers; to
assist them in every possible way; warn
ing rustlers that their work will not be
tolerated in Montana, and appointing q
committee to carry out the wishes of the
association in every particular,

ton of Labor and Knights of Labor are
concerned. The paper says that these two
powerful bodies of organized labor will
enter into combat which will be lengthy
and quite spirited. Such is the meaning
conveyed by an interview with Henry
White, general auditor of the Garment
Workers of America, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. In this
interview he was emphatic in denuncia-
ton of the Knights of Labor policy re-
garding the boycott on Rochester clothing
manufacturers. He stated that the Fed
Grafton had taken the matter up and
would endeavor to counterfeit the effects
of the boycott. The executive committee
of the Federation of Labor will meet in
New York next week, at which a plan of
campaign will be marked out. Then the
great battle will begin, and in every city
the fight will be taken up by the Fed

REBELS ARE WINNING.
venezuela's Loyal Troops Lose Two
Important Battles.


PUERTO CABELLo. Venezuela. April 90
New York Herald Special. This town is
in great excitement over the utter rout of
the government troops on April IL At
shutdown on that date Palacio's army made
a futile attempt to dislodge the force
of insurgents under the command of Gen.
eral Mora, intrenched at spot just be-
yond Ohilito. Twice the government
soldiers attacked the enemy and failed to
drive it from its. position. Discour-
aged over their ill-success, Palacio's
troops showed signs of panic, but under
the appeal of their leader they rallied and
again charged the foe. The encounter was
brief but furious. They were defeated
all along the line, and, turning,
fled in every direction. The in
surgents followed in hot pursuit,
and did not abandon the chase till the
terror-stricken government troops were
well on the road to this town. Many
dead, dying and wounded were left upon
the battlefield. Some were rebels, but
large majority were followers of Pala-
clio. The government soldiers did not stop
to carry their dead and injured from the
scene, but struggled into Puerto Cabello,
startling the whole town with the story of
their complete defeat.
Nothing definite has been learned as to
the exact number slain, but 1t is officially
announced that the government lost a
third of its force in the encounter.
OF this loss, by far the greater
proportion was caused by assertions. As
soon as Palocio's men saw they were over
come many threw down their arms and
went over to the enemy.
The news of the battle has resulted in
spreading terror throughout Puerto Ca
bello. 1t was almost immedi-
ately followed by gen.
eral CONSUMPTION order. Every able
bodied man in town was forced into mill
tary service. The stores were all closed,
there being no one to tend them. Women
keep within doors. not daring to go out
An attack on Puerto CaboIlo is moment
arily expected, but it is probable Mora
will not at present attempt to captuee the
town. He will probably stay at Moron
and plant batteries at two i'm
portant points and endeavor to
hold them. In this position he is enabled to
cover the landing of arms and amunitions
of war and forward them to Gen. Crespo.
When a consignment of arms and
ammunition is put in Crespo's possession
Mora will abandon his present position of
advantage. 1t is difficult to get news out
of Venezuela, as the wires are cut in all
directions.
Palacio's men had a severe battle on
April 7 with revolutionists from
Lamora and Lara under Mesena.
one of Crespo's chiefs. Mesena
captured the towns of Aurere and
Acarigua. He had 5000 men. The battle
was fierce one. with great loss of lille
on both sides. The next morn
ing Mesana succeeded in cutting
through the nationalists' ranks
and passed northward. He retook Aurere
and made forced march on Tinaauilla,
where he was joined by reinforcements
and marched to join Crespo.

Free Mail Delivery iu the Country.

WASHINGTON CITY, April 20.-lSpecial. i
The resolutions just reported to the Senate
by Mr.. Mitchell of Oregon, appropriating
5000, GOO for the continuation of the post
master generals successful experiment in
extending the free collection and delivery
of mail into villages and farming districts,
is one of the many outgrowths of the
agitation which business men and country
people have been prosecuting so vigorously
for the last three or four months. A bust
ness man of Minneapolis, Richard H.
Broat, has been laying a great many
valuable facts before the newspapers and
the people In a circular lately received
at the postoffice department he says:
Is it a wonder that the farmer who, during
the long winter hours, has so much leisure for
self-improvement, for self-education, does not
avail himself of it? Is IL a wonder that he is re-
ferred to by his "city cousins as ''moss-back a
greeny, a hay-seed," when n matter of fact he
might be the most enlightened of any class of
our population? The original expense of a
newspaper. periodical, OF other literature is
trifiing compared with the immense amount Of
benefit derived from it: often a single hint re-
eeipt, suggestion, a word OF advice is worth
the subscription price of a dozen papers for a
year, to say nothing OF the general advantage
obtained in being kept posted in regard to the
markets of the world, and the moral influence a
good newspaper has over a household.

WASHINGTON CITY, April 20.-[Special. i
General Stanley, commanding the depart
ment of Texas, reports to General Schofield
that the grand jury of Duval county,
Texas. ignored the charge made against
the United States troops and state troops
in connection with the Cara campaign.
The grand jury reported that they had in
