several Desperate Encounters With
Government Troops.
IE INSURGENTS FULLY AROUSED.
Refugees Fleeing to the Foreign COnsulates.
Arms and Ammunition Landed for the Insur-
gents-The Revolt Becomes General.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NEW YORK, March 3l.-A Herald special
frcm Caracas, Venezuela, says: The great
est excitement is reported at all Venezuelan
ports, which are filled with refugees from
this city and the intericr of the country.
The fugitives are endeavoring tc secure
passage out on the steamers. The Herald's
account of the first battle between the Gov
ernment troops and the insurgent forces is
confirmed. The fight resulted In the tri-
umph of Palaeo's army, but the victory
was dear one to the Government, costing
it many lives. The number OF dead and
wounded is unknown.
In official circles strong anti-American
feeling is apparent Many foreigners are
seeking refuge in the different consulates.
Exchange is rapidly rising.
Advices have just been received here that
additional skrmshes have taken place be-
tween the Government and the Insurgents.
and the former have been victorious all
along the line. 1t must be remembered that
all these rumors come from an official
source. The insurgent side has different
story TO tell. Among many persons
who have temporarily left Venezuela
is wealthy Caracas planter who Is a
stanch friend of the lnsurgent cause. just
before his departure he told me the strug-
GIG might last lOE uNe OF SIX HlOHlHSs do tuo
Government and the revOlutioDlsts are
both we'll supplied with funds and arms.
GuZman Blanco, he told me, has no
connection with the revolt, nor could he
have, fer the uprising against PalaciO is on
the same grounds as the movement which
led to the expulsion of Blanc0. The Ques-
ton at stake, he added, is purely one of
state sovereignty against Capitalization.
Arms and ammunition have recently been
sent over from Curacao. and in
spite of the Governments guards along the
coast, have been safely landed and are now
in the hands of the insurgents, who. now
that they are we'll armed, will make much
more determined fight. The planter, in
conclusion, predicted that by the mid
die OF April the Federalists to
number from 10000 20 5000. all fully
armed, would begiu their advance upon
Caracas
The Herald has from Colombia q dis
patch in which it Is stated that private adj
vices from B1gota confirm the re-
ports of widespread revolutionary
uprising in Venezuela. The kilograms from
Pamplona announce that many VeneZue-
lans are returning to the former country to

AMICiBLE RELATIONS.
An English Correspondent Jealous Of United
States influence in South America.

LONDON, March 31.-The Times corre-
spondent at BuenoS Ayres telegraphs: "An
indScreet notice in the press, the origin of
which has been traced TO one Of the Minis
tiers, stated that Admiral Walker was the
bearer of happy proposals, which insured a
settlement of the questions between the
Argentine Republic and the United States
This was supported by subsequent post
prandial speeches Of the American Minis
ter, the secretary OF the legation and the
American efficers here. An official denial
led me closely to investigate the affair.
LAS a result have come to the conclusion
that the Argentine declaration that reel
procity with the United States has been de-
cllned was only half the truth. At first the
Argentine Gevernment de"lined TO hid its
warships at the disposal of the United
States, but the Government now has ac-
cepted in principle Admiral Walkers gen.
erous offer of United States protection in
case the Argentine Republic becomes in
volved in boundary questions with Chile
and Brazil, and of protection against for
eign interference If the Argentine Republic
attempts TO cancel her European obIga-
tions.
- Brazil, desiring TO rescind the recipro-
city treaty, obtained, as BraZiliaDs declare
under promises which have not been full
filled, has now been thrown over by the
United States. Chile might. perhaps, be
while funds would be advanced to Peru to
enable her to pay the Chile Tacna- a-Arica in
deinnity. the consideration for this being
the excellent and easy defensible port of
Chmbote, which is to be held ready as a
United States naval station. This is part
of Secretary Blaine's ambitious programme
10 destroy European influence in the South
Atlantic and Pacific, in order to secure a

FIGHTING A TRUST.
Strong Feeling in Philadelphia Against

a Strong Feeling in Philadelphia Against
the Sugar Monopoly.
PHILADELPHIA, March 81. - Since the
sugar trust few days ACQUIRED control of
all the refneries in tie country steps have
been AIKEN to arrest the threatened monop-
oily. Efforts are being made for building an
independent refinery on Delaware River,
near the Spreckels refinery, but the pro-
jectors have not met with much success.
They therefore sought relief in the prepa-
ration of bill for the repeal of the duty of
half cent per pound on refined grades OF
sugars, which they claim serves only the
purpose OF allowing the trust TO control a6-
soluteY the entire refining trade Of the
country. A draft of the bill, ii is under
stood, has already been prepared by Samuel
Gustne Thompson. a friend of eX-President
Cleveland, and this has given rise to an i'm
preston that the bill is favored by Cleve-
land, with the idea Of forcing the Republi-
can party into the attitude of defending
MONOPOLY if they resist the passage of the
bill. Since the combination acquired con-
troll of the business the price of refined
sugars has advanced y cent per pound.
Raw sngar has declined, from the fact that
there is but one buyer-the trust.
