REVOLUTION IN VENEZUELA.

Government Forces Defeated In Bat
tie.
CARACAS, Venezuela, April 3.-The
government troDps commanded by
General Rodriguez have been repuised
near Ortiz. They met the forces that
were marching from Orlnoco to REIN
force General Crespo, the leader of the
revolutlonlsts. There was sharp en-
gagement. in which Roderiguez's forces
were compelled TO retreat, though the
loss was not heavy on either side. The
reyo.urlanists occupied Ortiz, q town OF
600 III the state of Guarico.
and then began an advance on
Gura, a city of 10000 inhabitants.
sixty miles south OF Caracas. The sue
cess at Ortiz wai followed by the
seizure of the national gunboat, Nueve
de Julio, which was stationed at Es-
meralda, on the Orlnoco river. This
success gives the revolutionists the
command OF the upper end OF the
liver, ana Will be of great advantage in
future operations. News of these re-
verses has greatly depressed the fol-
lowers of President Paiacio, who coi-
tinues his dlctstorial course. Advices
from Merida, the capital of the state of
Fuzman, and from the state of Zemora
show that the people are enilsting in
great numbers under the banner of
General Crespo. General Aranjo has
organized a force of 5000 men at
Merida. and is preparing to join the
troops under the revolutionary leader.
General Balista is marching from
Zamoras with 1000 soldiers to fight for
the revolution.

EXPLAINS HIS POSITION.
Ex-Alderman Hayward Tells All About
the Tower Ligh: Plant.

the Tower Ligh: Plant.
Ex-alderman and Representative j.
W. Hayward asked yesterday as to
his views about the tower system of
lighting said: II see the morning paper
is trying to make capital against the
reelection of some of the aldermen
who voted for the tower lights and is
quoting VIM. I. and VIM. IL. Powers
as opposed 10 the system. II ] remem-
ber rightly, IN the records of the com-
mon coun Gil of 1SS5-S6, will he found a
proposition from the Grand Rapids
Electric Light and Power company,
VIM. L. Powers president and Vim. IL.
Powers secretary and treasurer. 10
light the city with tower lights for five
years for stipulated sum. The prep
Osition was favored at the time and
advocated bv the company. Ii was
accepted by the common council upon
the unanimous recommendation of the
committee on lamps. George C..
Pierce chairman, and by the
way, as able and conscientious
an alderman Us that same George
Pierce individually is always deserving
of confidence. Now l mention these
things because / don't like TO have
these gentlemen put in false position
for the purpose of defeating aldermen
who are seeking q reelection, upon
their record on tower lighting. 1t is
true the towers are not giving as good
satisfaction as, they will when We get
everything in shape. say in all con-
fidence that there will he no place IN
side the c,ly limits where person
wont be able to see another 200 or 800
feet away at any time of night. There
alley where person will not
be able to see to walk or drive at
any time of night; but of course you
won't be able to read the door plates
from the center of the street as you
drive by. If YOU wish to do that it
will be necessary to hang an arc light
in front Of every door. By this system
the poor fellows in the suburbs Will
not be obliged to carry lanterns
when they visit their neighbors, but
will get the benefit of the light for the
taxes they pay. Detroit has contracted
three times for tower lighting. and if
the proposition was today made to the
people of Detroit to do away with the
tow ers lights, it would not get 10 per
cent of the vote of the people.
GAS an alderman. was in favor Of
tower lighting. because it gives the best
distribution of light to the whole peo-
pie for given expenditure.
"As an employee of the electric light
company J was opposed to 1t, because
it necessitated an expenditure OF s40..
900 by the company for towers. j claim
honesty in both cases; first. L was IN the
empIoye of the public rs alderman;
second, was in the employ OF the com
pany as superintendent. 1t l had
occupied both positions at the same
time people who are chronic kickers
against the honesty of their public ser
wants will have no trouble IN deciding
what / woul d have done"

FIRE In THE COTTON
IT STARTS BY A CIGARETTE
And Spreads With Great Kaptdiy, En-
failing Loss Of Over Sz.ooo,ooo-
Three Firemea Injused

NEw 0RLEASs, April 3.-rnis city
was visited today by two of the worst
fiTes in IT'S history. Eleven blocks
Of buildings were destroyed, involving
loss OF $500 900. Both fires were
the result OF carelessness and would
have been trivial but for the extreme
dFyness. the result Of . long droutn,
the high wind and Inadequate water
supply. The fire frat started at 10
O'Clock IN pile of cotton IN front OF
the fire-proof compress at the corner of
ROBIN and Front streets. Some one
threw 4 lighted cigarette into the pile,
which, ~ a few moments. Was burning
fiercely. The flames quickly ate their
way into the compress building, whore
II 300 bales OF cotton were stored and
then communicated TO an adjacent
structure. the Shippers cotton press,
where $4,000 bales OF Gotten
were stored. The next to
go was the Orleans compress with
combating the flames in the Orleans
compress. the walls suddenly gave way
and Captain Dupree, Lieutenant Shaw
II
the RUNS All were seriously and
probably fatally injured. The ire
covered an arva of five squares.
The Baldwin Agricultural works ana
the Lawrence Rice Mills, four squares
distant. were ignited by the masses of
burning cotton which filed the air.
but both buildings were saved without
serious loss A panic prevailed IN the
-. J.. al.
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 seven MINOR
buillngs. The New Orleans Vinegar
factory was completely destroyed in
volvlng loss on the stock of SIC. 900.
The cotton loss IS estimated ut about
$1,000 bales This would mean q loss
of about s., ,225, 600 in cotton alone.
This claimed by some that the fire was
the work of laborers who wished TO
avenge the purchasing of presses by
the trust. The fire proof presses were
owned by the trust In ts name of
Penrose Bros, managers The Orleans
is also trust in the name of Adam
Lorch, manager. The shippers presses
were owned by Boyd Il Herrick, VINO
are not IN the trust.
Although the cotton congresses were
sold TO an English syndicate the formal
transfer had not vet taken place and
consequently the loss will fall on the
old owners. The cotton and building and
machinery were fully insured, mostly
IN foreign companies. Several local
companies tere are hard hit, however,
add IL is believed tonight that two OF
them will not be able 10 weather the
storm. A careful estimate of the total
insurance Of both fires places the
amount at S., SOC. 900.

KILLED HER LITTLE CHILD.
Mrs. Montague Indicted by the Dublin

y
DrBLrS, April 3.-The grand jury of
this (Dublin) county, to which the
venue OF the case of Mrs. Annie Mar
garet Montague was changed from Col.
cram, Londonderry county, today re-
turned true bill of manslaughter
against the accused for killing her s.
year-old daughter, Helen. 1t has also
returned irue bill charging her with
wilful!y illtreating Austin, Walter and
Gilbert, her three sons, all Of whom
are under the age of IA years. Mrs.
Montague, it will be recalled, IS the
wife of Mr.. r. A. c. Montague, JUS
tice of the peace of Londonderry
county, and daughter-in-law of Lord
Montague. The killing of Helen Mon
tague is of too recent occurrence to
need much mention. The child COM
mitted some trivial wrong for which
che was punished by having her hands
tied behind her back and then being
fastened to ring in the wall of dark
room. Afterwards when the mother
went to release her she found that the
stocking with which the little girl was
bound had got fastened in some way
about her neck and choked her to
death.

With France.

NEW YORK, April 3.-whitelaw Reid,
minister to France, arrived on the La

number of friends and was coon be.
seiged by reporters. He talked freely
on International affairs. The minister
brings reciprocity and extradition
treaties between the United States and
France, obtaining the signatures to
which was his last official act. He
says the French government is con.
stantly gaming strength, and while the
anarchists demonstration created ex-
element. the Parisians take it very
lightly. The disturbances are exag.
gerated by the newspapers. The min.
ister come home rather TO resign than
to seek office and regards the mention
OF his name as presidential possi billty
merely as a Ciark of friendship on the
part OF the newspapers.
