Dynamite for Venzuela's President
Peru and Ecuador in Turmoil.

Peru and Ecuador in Turmoil.
CARACAS, via Galveston, AlN A.
President Palacio has had narrow
escape from death by dynamite. The
other evening bomb was thrown by
some unknown person at the Casa Anna
rilla. The building was somewhat shat
tered, but there was no loss of life.
Palacio was unhurt, but pretty badly
frightened.
The withdrawal from all other parts
of the city, both of the police and mill
tary, to protect the president gave the
revolutionists concerned in the plot
every chance to escape. When search
was made for them not q trace could be
found.
Numerous partisans of Crespo took
advantage of the fact that the police and
army guards were summoned to leave
the city with the in tention of Joining the
rebels. Until then all the roads leading
from the capital had been too closely
guarded to permit of any enemies OF the
government getting out of Caracas.
All the members of the federal coun-
Gil are in Jail. Everybody of any prom
inence is i'll constant fear of his personal
safety. The slightest suspicion is enough
to cause the arrest of the most prominent
residents of Caracas.
General Crespo is with Manzano at
San Carlos, capital OF the state of Co
jedes and 1870 miles southwest of Cara
cas-. They have a large army of lancers
and 1900 infantry, and an invasion is

Crescent City.
LOSS THREE AND A HALF MILLIONS

While Limited Department Was
Fighting One Big Blaze Flames
Start in Another Section Which
Destroy Nearly Two Hundred
Houses-Firemen Fatally Injured.
NEW ORLEANS, April 3.-New Or
leans was visited yesterday by two Of
the worst fires in the city's history.
Eleven blocks of buildings were de-
stroyed, involving a loss of S3,6OU,000.
Both fires were the result of carelessness
and would have been trivial but for the
exceeding dryness, which was the result
of long drouth, high wind and the
inadequacy of the fire department. The
latter was reorganized in January from
the volunteer to the paid department
system, and the number of firemen was
reduced about nine.tenths. The first
fire started in pile of cotton in front Of
the fireproof compress, at the corner OF
Robin and Front streets. Some one
threw lighted cigarette in the pile,
which in few minutes were burning
fercely. The flames quickly ate their
way into the compress building. where
1850 bales of cotton were stored. The
air was soon filled with masses of burn
ing cotton, which communicated the
flames to tho adjacent structures. The
shippers cotton press, where 30, 900 bales
of cotton were stored, was the next to
60 and the Orleans compress, with rs 900
bales, soon followed.
Three Fircmcn Fatally Hurt.
While the firemen were combating
the flames in the Orleans compress, the
walls suddenly gave way, and Captain
Dupree, Lieutenant Shaw and Pipeman
Bordeaux were buried in the ruins. All
were seriously and possibly fatally in
jured. The Independence cotton yards
had been engulfed, and the fire covered
an area of five squares. The Baldwin
agricultural works and the Louisiana
rice mills, four squares distant, were
ignited by the masses of burning cotton
which filled the air, but after hard
fight both buildings We're srved without
serious loss.
Apanic prevailed in the vicinity of the
fire, which was close to the residence
district and people living many blocks
distant began fleeing for their lives,
carrying what few belongings they
could gather up in their haste. There
were also destroyed in the cotton district
several minor buildings.
tkThe cotton loss is estimated at about
C5,000 bales. This would mean loss of
about 81. .225, 900 in cotton alone. 1t is
claimed by some that the fire was the
work of laborers, who wished to avenge
the purchasing of the presses by the
Do trust.
While the firemen were engaged in q
hopeless struggle with the cotton fire
another blaze broke out at the corner of
Laurel and Third streets, a mile away.
Mrs. Valentine tried to start fire with
coal oil. An explosion followed and the
house was soon in flames. For half an
hour the fire was small affair, but no
engines arriving it finally spread to the
surrounding buildings, which were all
wooden cottages, and in two hours the
flames had swept bare an area six blocks
IN extent, reaching from Magazine
street to Constance crossing. In all 1S5
houses were destroyed. The loss will
approximate Sj00,000.

ITALY AWAKENED.
The Larger Cities Will Have Charge Of
 ne ExhIlit.


 the Exhibit.
 Le America, the representative news paper of the Italian colony in Chicago and throughout the west generally, has special telegraphic messages from Rome concerning the exhibit at the worlds fair to be made from Italy. 1t states that the central committee in charge of the worlds fair Italian exhibit, acting with the concurrence of the chamber of commerce at Rome. has completed the organization of the committees ap- pointed by the chambers of commerce in the principal Italian cities.
 Milan, Genoa, Turin, Florence, Naples and Palermo will, with Rome, lead in the great Italian display. The feeling and interest now thoroughly ava kened in Italy are such that it is evident that the artists and merchants fully understand that their exhibits to be made in Chicago will probably open up to them new avenues of patronage and commercial exchange. They are evidently determined to work cooper atively and make the very best of the opportunity.
 In Rome Deputy Ferrari, the cele- brated sculptor, is especially active in the art circles. He was the projector of the monument to Gioyanno Bruno, and 1t is stated that he will send an original statue of great beauty. Basile, the noted architect, will forward the designs of the Palermo exposition. The leading features of the commercial ex- hibit will be fruits, samples of preserved fruits, wines, collections of medicinal plants, marble, bronze, and metal work. Collections of antiquities will form a part of the art exhibit. The Italian government has thoroughly promulgated through the country its proclamation in reference to the worlds fair through the agency of the minister of commerce and agricul- ture. While the government will send a ship of war to transport the exhibits and give full official sanction to the un- dertaking, yet it prefers that the de- tails of creating, collecting and taking charge of the exhibit should be under taken by the chamber of commerce. It is thought that this is much the better plan rather than that the government ,hould have to organize the details of the worlds fair bureau. Nevertheless it is expressly stipulated that the direc- ton and installation of the exhibit shall be under government control.
 The central committee has been in vested with full power to pass upon all proposals and to decide upon the value, rarity, and appropriateness of collective or individual exhibits to be made, either of the commercial or artistic character. and it will also prepare special cata- logue for the Italian section. The con- mittee will also nominate two or more persons who with the approval of the government will act as con- missioners and who will be sent to Chicago as the representatives of the government to personally super intend the transportation. disposition and return of the exhibits from Italy.
