The VENEZUELAN WAR

NEW YORK, Sept. 26-News by steamer
from Porto Cabello, Venezuela, notes the
arrival at La Guayra of the United States
war vessels Chicago and Kearsarge. Porto
Cabello is in possession of the insurgents.
A son of the Venezuelan minister. Senor
Paraza, arrived today on a mission from
his government. He said that late events
in Venezuela were very encouraging to the
government. Just as he was leaving Gen
eral Managa was leaving Curacao with
5000 troops for Porto CabellO, where the
insurgent leader (Crespo) is in command.
Crespo and Guerara, another insurgent
leader. had quarreled at Porto Cabello
recently, and, as result, anarchy reigned
among the insurgent forces. II was said
that Crespo had challenged Guerara to
battle.
The revolutionists give different story
OF the progress of the rebellion in VeneZu-
ella They say that the government is tot
tering on its last legs and will soon col
lapse. All the people outside of the capital,
they say, are in favor of the new govern
ment. which will triumph in few weeks
The capital is being surrounded gradually,
and supplies are being cut off preparatory
to a final attack. Revolutionists who
arrived today said that a battle took place
recently near Barquisimento, resulting in
a decisive victory for the insurgents.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS.

MARsEILLEs, Sept 26-At the working
mems congress yesterday. Herr Lieb-
knecht, representing the Socialists OF Ger
many, delivered an address in which he
said:
'E'or Socialists the question of national
ism does not exist. We know but two
nations-the nation in possession and a
nation of proletarians, formed of working
men of all countries. Between Frenchmen
and Germans there is a broad river of
blood, for the flowing of which we are
innocent and our enemies are responsible.
We protested against the fratricidal war
of 1870 The Socialists constitute great
army of which the working men of France
and Germany and elsewhere form differ
ent army corps. We have beaten Bis
marck after struggle lasting twenty-five
years, and we are ready to shed our last
drop of blood for socialism,"
Herr Leibnecht concluded his address
by shouting, "Long live the international
revolutionary democracy"
The utterances of Herr Leibknecht were
greeted with enthusiastic applause.

A CANINE QUESTION.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The able minds
that inhabit the state department are now
brooding over subject which causes
them to do more thinking than they are
really accustomed to. Mr.. l.. A. Latrop,
the United States consul at Bristol, Eng
land, is the gentleman who has imposed
the present intellectual burden upon the
state department thinkers. Mr.. Lathrop
is from California. Strange 10 say, in
stead of keeping bear be elected to main
tain dog. He neglected, however, to get
out a license for the brute The dog, un-
tagged rap about the streets of Bristol Ike
an Indian untaXed about his reservation
until a few weeks ago. A Bristol policeman
pulled" Mr. Lat hrop's dog and hauled
him TO the pound. MIR. Lathrop refused 10
pay the sum necessary 10 secure the dogs
release, but appealed the case to a magis-
trate, claiming that his dog was entitled,
like himself, to immunity from taxation.
arrest and everything else disagreeSble.
The magistrate did not know what to do.
He had never handled such an intricate
international question before. He let the
dog out on bail, so TO speak until he could
consult with the secretary of state for for
eign affairs and until Mr. Lathrop could
also communicate with the United States
state department. The secretary for for
eign affairs is presumably giving the mat
ter his able attention now. Our own state
department thinkers are gradually master
ing its intricacies. What the outcome
VIII be it would be profuse to even con-
lecture.
