Each Tell a Different story.

NEW York, April 9.-.The Herald has
Caracas (Venezuela) advices from official
sources which say that the revoltionists
are reported to be in full flight on the
road. General Crespo's forces are said
to be completely disorganized and panic
stricken, and Crespo himself is reported
to be fleeing on horseback toward
Guanoro. In official circles, the dis
patch adds, a strong anti-American
feeling is apparent, and foreigners are
seeking refuge in the different con-
sulates.
Advices to tho same paper from the
insurgent side have different story to
tell. They are that Crespo's forces are
being rapidly augmented, both with men
and arms, and that by the middle of
April he will have force of from 900
to 10000 men whowill begin an advance
upon Caracas. These latter facts agree
with the dispatches by the United Press.

VIA PANAMA
Comes Word That the Insurgents Are
Gaining Ground.

Comes Word That the Insurgents Are
Gaining Ground.
PANAMA, April 2.-Advices from Ven-
ezuela represent that the revolutionary
movement is not crushed, and that the
volunteers are focking from all direc-
tions to tie aid of the insurgents.
Palacio is almost universally unpopular,
and it is said, but for fear of his sever
ity, there would be an uprising in Car
acas at once. His imprisonment of the
supreme court judges caused general
execration throughout the country, and
has also aroused strong sentiment of
Indignation in Colombia.
The insurgents are mostly of the in
telligent class, the government forces
being largely composed of hastily made
levies, driven in by a press gang of reg
ular troops. They have no knowledge
whatever oe the issues at stake, and
serve only because they are compelled.
They make hardy soldiers, being able to
go for days without adequate food, and
are not wanting in courage. The militia
officers are mostly tradesmen and
planters, and wear gorgeous uniforms,
while the common soldiers are usually
without shoes and in rags.
Palacio has got money by forced
loan, and as he will pay the raw levies
nothing, he can carry ON the war for
some time, SO far as the finances are
concerned 1t is believed that the in
surgents will thoroughly organize be-
fore making another advance. Gen
eral Crespo is considered by many to be
the ablest military strategist in Vene-
zuela, and his ultimate triumph is not
doubted here. Palacio, it is said, wishes
to establish himself as president for life,
with absolute authority.

BALTIMORE, April 2.--Professor 2. Will
lam Il. Will, of this city, says he be-

Germans have been observing the Rus
sian Notifications and armies are his
own invention. He declares that the
descriptions of the balloons coincide
exactly with plans which he perfected
some time ago and submitted to Chief
Won Lendenberg, of the aeronautical
department of the German army. The
German government, he states, kept his
plans long beyond the time set for their
return in case Of rejection, and few
weeks after they were sent back to him
the news that the novel balloons were

asserts that he is convinced that the
Germans have appropriated an Ameri-

credit or price for it.

PARIS, April 2.-Meetings are being
nightly held in the Rue de Temple for
the purpose of organizing the May day
demonstration. 1t appears certain that
Fournies will again be chosen as a CEN
ter, with the view of making an appeal
to the troops. A manifesto will shortly
be issued by the prominent men in every
group. M. Royanet is hopeful that the
municipal council will patronise the
movement by giving the men in its em-
ploy day off. AS the demonstration
takes place this year on Sunday, the
concession will be easier. As the day
approaches the authorities, both in Paris
and the provinces, are getting very
anxious.

WASHINGTON, April 2.--It was learned
Friday morning that the communica-
tion cabled Thursday night to Lord
Salisbury, and which was reported to be
President Harrison's response to his
lordship's note of March &c. was Sir
Julian Pauncefote's report of the prog
ress of negotiations for renewal of the
modus vivendi, now under way in this
city.
Inasmuch as the matter is being ar
ranged in Washington there is, of course
more or less correspondence by cable be-
tween Sir Julien Pauncefote and the
home office, but there has been no for
NAL response to Lord Salisbury's latest
note and the probabilities are that there
will be none. An impression prevails
that satisfactory agreement respecting
the modus vivendi is rapidly approach

AS ''Rosallnd" Julia MArlowe is not

too strong for her or she is too weak for

the words Of the girl whom Shakespeare
conceived to be gentle and chaste and
timid woman but having withal brave
and proud spirit, which uerved her to mask
In the doublet and hose for love. Miss
Marlowe's Rosallnd is too gentle, too coy,
too sweet. The Rosalind Shakespeare
conceived, assumed a bold and rakish
air, she strutted and gave her voice an
orotund tone to mimic the swagger aud
the bravado Of manliness that was too
consciously lacking. Miss Marlowe was
mincing, too quiet, too precise, too
pretty. She did not look the part or act
