THE JAIL PLANS.
Specifications Have Been Prepared by
the CITY Engineer

Specifications Have Been Prepared by
the CITY Engineer.
Contractor Manley has not arrived in
the city yet. Tho contract and speci.
locations for the new city jail and DO
lice headquarters are ready for his sig
nature, City Engineer Dunlap having
completed the latter several days since.
AS soon as Manley arrives and attaches
his name to the papers it is expected
that work will be begun on the struct-
ure without unnecessary delay.
The plans indicate handsome build
ing, corresponding in architecture with
the city courthouse. 1t will be of briuk
ana stone and three stories high. On
tne nrst Hoor there will be four rooms.
One Will be fitted up for n courtroom
for the police justice, another for the
mayor, while the rest of the floor space
Will be utilized for cell and storare
room.
The second floor will be divided into
four chambers and a bathroom and DO
assigned to the jailer for a residence.
The third floor will eventually be
lifted up as an infirmary for the treat.
ment and care of city prisoners.
The Jail will be of stone and in the
rear OF the police headquarters. This
portion OF the structure will have four
floors. On the first there will be twenty
cells for the use of the CITY polico
department exclusively.
Tho second and third floors will have
twenty four five-ply steel cells for the
safe keeping of prisoners, who havo
been sent on to the grand Jury or con.
victed of crimo and required to servo
out sentence hero or await removal
to the State penitentiary.
The fourth floor will not be finished
until tho intirmary is established. 1t
Will be on level with the third floor of
the front of tho building in which the
lnhrmary will BIO situated, and will
eventually be fitted up and used in con.
nection with it.
In the basement or rather under the
ground of the Jail proper, tho heaters
will be placed. A room will be set
apart for the storage Of fuel and another
for vegetables, and it is said that n
dungeon will also DO fitted up for the
safe keeping of such people as iudge
lynch may claim jurisdiction over.
While the city Officials are reticent
with reference to this, the reporter
learned enough to warrant tho predic-
ton that no prisoner who is dropped
into tho dungeoH and the door closed
over his head need foar a mob, no
matter how strong numerically or de-
termined in purpose.

DISTRIBUTION OF sTEER2
Exciting Scenes When the Indians &c
Their Shares of Beef.

Exciting Scenes When the Indians Got
Their Shares OF Beef.
In the distribution of cattle to our Indian
wards, combinations are made among rela-
tives or friends, % persons perhaps being
entitled to one steer weekly. The cattle are
rounded up, and as many of them as are
needed are driven into corral In front
Of the corral is box resembling the judges
stand at horse race. 1t is occupied by
the agent, his chief clerk, the interpreter,
and an Indian, selected for his strong lungs.
Preliminarily, the Indians arrange them
selves in two long lines, extending out into
the plain on both sides of the gate OF the
corral The agent reads from his list the
name of Chief Two Bits, who represents one
family combination, and is entitled to one
steer.
While the chief clerk opens the gate and
permits one steer to escape, the interpreter
mentions the name of Chief Two Bits to the
stout-lunged Indian. The latter shouts out
the name in the Indian tongue and the saw
ages set up q tremendous yelling as the
frightened beast dashes out OF the inclosure
and between their lines Chief Two Bits
and his male relatives spur their ponies in
chase Of the animal and shoot 1t down with
their rifles, or sometimes with arrows 1t
is quite like buffalo hunt.
The process is continued until all the
steers are slain, each family combination
having secured its own. Then the squaws
come with wagons and take the beef to the
village, cutting it into very thin strips and
hanging it In the sun to dry. Thus
'jerked," it will keep for years.

funds for the purchase Of arms abroad must
be drawn from private sources. That 1t can
be done, no one who knows the country or
the people for an instant doubts, but time is
the essential point And it may be months
before the revolutionists can be considered
Is ready to meet the Government forces face
to face in the field.
Our Trade WIN Be AFFECTED.
If the present turbulent state of affairs
prevails, however, for any length of time,
it is likely to prove disastrous to the trade
with the United States which has just COM
menced to assume large proportions For
instance for the year ending June 30, 1891,
the United States imported from Venezuela
drugs valued at $67, $40, cocoa valued at
$88, ,090; 60, 217, $3.50 pounds of coffee, valued
at SO. s14, ,S74; guano, valued at $53. 1856;
goat skins, valued at A67 ,032; India rubber
valued at 81, ,657, and other products bring
ing the total up to $12, 2,078,541 In return
the United States sent to Venezuela goods
valued at $4, 716,O47.
The present disturbances there, however,
will serve to bring the country and its pos
sibilities more prominently before the
minds of the enterprising spirits of this
country. AS yet it is comparatively an un.
known field, and is generally classed with
other little South American or Central
American nations as of little account Yet
the Venezuelan Republic embraces about
$40, 1853 square miles Of TERRITORY of which
one-half is uncultivated, one-fourth grazing
land and the other one-fourth farming land.
Besides the main land there are II islands of
an area of about 5000 square miles, and
within Its boundaries !, ,047 rivers have their
headwaters. Among these is the Orinoco,
one of the largest rivers of the Southern
Continent. It has two important lakes
Maracaibo, with an area Of about 1900
square miles, and Valencia, with an area of
800 square miles
In 1890 the population was estimated at
1900, 900, having grown to that figure from
S02 100 in 1910, but included in the latest
figures are 326, 900 native Indians The
regular army consists Of 6, 1856 men, with
their corresponding commissioned and nom
commissioned officers, distributed in IS gar
risons, of which 20 are in the different
cities of the Republic. The navy con-
sists of five steamers and five schooners,
and these are near the coast, and there are
five forts none of which could Withstand an
hours bombardment with modern guns.
The Constitution provides for militia of
CSC, 900 men, from whose ranks loo, 900 men
may be drawn for active service. The sue
cess of the Revolutionists depends upon
their ability to secure arms before they are

Guzman- -Blanco held Office for many years
contrary to the spirit of the constitution
which he helped to frame; held Office, either
by tool or as Palacio is now attempting.
A Man Cast in Noble Mod
But Guzman-Blanco is man of differ
ent build from either his immediate sue
cessor, Paul, or the present President Pal
acio. He is an extraordinary man in many
ways He was born in Caracas So years ago,
his father being private secretary to the
Liberator, Simon Bolivar, and at one time Q
member of the Cabinet. He became a SOL
dier when a mere boy and up to the
time he was removed from office by the
peaceful revolution of 1887 occupied a
warm place in the heart of every citizen,
save only those who woe not permitted to
share in the spoils and who longed to have
a finger in the sack. He accumulated an
immense private fortune and is said to own
property in every city in the Republic.
His public spirit, however, showed itself
on every side. He was especially fond Of
