Guayara dispatch says: Gen. Joaquin
Crespo was accorded the most enthusi-
astic reception upon his triumphant
entry into Caracas to-day, and the city
tonight is brilliantly illuminated in his
honor, while the streets are crowded
with wildly cheering multitudes. The
gallant old warrior marched into the
capital this morning at the head of his
remnant army. 5000 men, and has
taken possession of the city.
AS soon as Crespo had reached the
congress building he summoned his
chief military and political leaders
about him. The result of their confer
ence was the proclamation of Crespo as
provisional president of the republic.
He is to hold the Office only until the
regularly elected congressman shall
have had time to meet again and pro-
coed to the election of constitutional
successor to ex-President Raimonda
Palacio.
Caracas shouted itself hoarse over the
choice of Crespo. The veteran prompt

members of his provisional cabinet at
the head of which as minister of foreign
affairs is Pedro Ezequiel Rogas. All

Homesteaders Gather in Force at the Mar

MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. 10.-The
homestead fever has broken out afresh
by the publication here of an official de-
scription of the lands recently for
feited to the United States as be-
ing in excess of the grant to the
Bay de Noquette and Marquette
Railway, and comprising 1900 acres.
Hundreds in this immediate vicinity are
already preparing to file applications on
the date still to be fixed by the officials
of the Marquette land office, where
applications Tor homestead entry on
these lands will be received. The date
will probably be near the end
of November. Applications filed
before that date will confer no
prior right. The occupation of the
land-looker has received great boom,
horde of lockers being employed to
select choice pieces for prospective
tilers. The lands are mostly in Baraga
and Marquette counties in the Huron
Mountain district, and are believed to
be rich in minerals as we'll as timber.
No systematic exploration for minerals
has ever been made there.

PARIS, Oct. The funeral of Ernest

held at O'Clock this morning in the
College Of France. An immense num-
Der of people gathered in front of the
college early in the morning and stood
in respectful silence while the many
eminent men who attended the funeral
entered the building. There was, of
course, no religious service. The
funeral address was delivered bv
M. Bourgeois, minister of public
instruction. Upon the conclusion of
the services, the body was taken to the
cemetery of Montmarte for provisional
