NO TROOPS FOR HOMESTEAD.
Governor Not Satisfied That Sheriff Has
Exhausted His Powers.

PIrrsBURG. July 8. Northumberland
W. W. Greenland was interviewed this
evening by an Associated Press repre-
sentative as to the probability of the mill
tary being sent to Homestead. General
Greenland maintained that the state gov
eminent was not yet satisfied that the
sheriff had exhausted all the means
in his power to preserve the
peace. Until he discharged his
duty by making all efforts pos
sible to preserve law and order in
Homestead himself, the state, according
to the adjutant general, cannot order out
the national guard. These utterances by
General Greenland would indicate that
there is no immediate prospect of state
troOps being called out

A Decisive Victory Claimed by the Gov
ernment-General Crespo's Forces Dis
astrously Routed and He Fugitive.
Conflicting Reports.

NEW YORK. April 7.-~Cabling his
paper under date of the 7th, the
Herald's Caracas correspondent writes
thus: Advices have been received to-
day from Lagetaya of another encounter
by the government and the insurgent
forces under command of General Crespo.
1t is said to have resulted
in the utter rout of the rebels. They
are reported to have fed in all direc-
tions, and to be so disorganized that it
will be difficult for them to be collected
again in sufficient numbers to cause Pa
lacio further anxiety. Crespo is said to
have fled on horseback for the frontier,
and to be now in hiding somewhere in
the mountains. His exact whereabouts
are unknown. The government troops
are reported to have occupied General
Crespo's residence. The authorities are
jubilant.
Advices received by revolutionists here
state, however, that their cause is pro-
crossing most favorably. Arms and
ammunition continue to be secret
ly. brought into Venezuela from
Caracoa and other islands off the
coast. Crespo's forces are recruiting all
the time from the various provinces, as
the news of the overwhelming of the
national legislature and Of the Judiciary
is passed from mouth to mouth.

The walking is good between here and
San Francisco, and it is fortunate for
the members of the Juch opera company
that they are not in country where
the railroad ties are covered with snow,
for some of the company will have to do
considerable walking in order to get
home, as last night the company was, in
the professional language, "busted."
Mr.. Michelena, the handsome tenor
of the company, was seen last evening
by HERALD reporter at the Hollen-
beck and asked about the situation.
ut looks little rocky tonight, but 1
think we will get out all right" he
answered. "I don't believe in getting
off the donkey that is carrying one, as
we say in Spanish, and think it best to
stay by Mr.. Locke. Why should we
break up in strange place like Los An
geles? But those attachments are COM
ing in fast, it is true. Today at dinner
one of these abominable sheriffs served
a summons on Miss Juch. Why she
said, I do not own the company work
for Mr.. Locke for salary-which I
do not get.' Frank, was she
not? We were to leave at IL O'Clock.
but it is now II 40, and see no signs
of going. Locke is not as bad as he is
pictured. think he is doing the best
he can. He has been in worse scrapes
than this"
Mr.. Mertens and his friends were
found, and they told another story.
"The company is what you call busted y
he said. "We are going tomorrow te
Philadelphia"
Mr.. Van der Berg, the musical direc
tor of the company, also said that he
would leave today. He intends to give
season of English opera in Washing
ton at the National theater.
Mr.. Mertens stated that the member
of the chorus had not received any
salary for five weeks, and were in actua
need. Most of them are foreigners wit
do not speak English, and are here with
out friends.

New York Republicans Complain Of Un-

fair Treatment.
ALBANY, N. Y, April 7.-When the
Joint Judiciary committee of the legisla-
ture met this afternoon, it resumed
hearing of the Maynard election return
inquiry. Mr.. Saxton (Rep.) demanded
to know if the Republican minority
would be permitted to summon wit
nesses. He said that one thing to be
proved was that certain allegations of
facts in Judge Maynard's letter of vindi-
cation OF himself were false; that while
IN his letter Maynard pleaded that he
was surprised at certain points by the
movement of Republican counsel, and
that his acts were thus shaped
IN part or whole, he had
in his possession written or
printed information of the movements
to be made in the election returns case,
previous to the periods named by Judge
Maynard in his letter. Senator Saxton
moved that the minority be permitted
to call witnesses. The motion was de-
feated. Senator Auller tried to get q
vote on the question whether the minor
ity would be allowed to present re-
port, but failed. The Republicans tried
to find out when the committee would
meet and what it intended to do.
Chairman Roesch promised that the
committee would not meet again this
week, but he could not say about the
report. The Republicans protested that
they were not being fairly treated, and
that it had been understood that the
minority would be allowed to call wit
nesses. The hearing was finally ad-
journed subject to the call of the chair.

GOING TO SHOOT SNIPE.
THE PRESIDENT TAKES ANOTHER
VACATION.
Bering Sea Negotiations in Such Shape as
to Permit His Absence from Washing
ton-A Modus vivendi Not Finally,
but Practically Agreed Upon.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-President Har-
rison left Washington tonight via the
Pennsylvania railway for New Church,
Va, on Chesapeake bay, to enjoy a
brief respite from official cares and to
do some snipe shooting. He expects to
return to the city by Saturday evening.
The president was accompanied by
Lieutenant Parker and Mr.. George W.
Boyd of Philadelphia, the assistant
general passenger agent of the Pennsyl-
vania.
Secretary Blaine said today, in reply
to an inquiry on the subject, that an
agreement had been finally concluded
with the British government in regard
to modus vivendi in the Bering sea,
pending the settlement by arbitration of
the jurisdictional rights of the United
States in those waters. He declined,
however, to say anything in regard to
the condition of the negotiations.
The departure of the president from
the city at this time is regarded as spe-
cially significant, in view of the state
ment attributed to him that he would
not 60 away until the question of the
modus vivendi had been settled one way
or the other.
It is believed that an agreement has
practically been reached by the presi-
dent and the British minister, and that
the basis of agreement has been com.
municated to Lord Salisbury for his &C.
tion. AS it is not likely that the Brit
ish premier will dispose of the matter
for several days, the president probably
thought he could avail himself of the
interval for a few days recreation.
The agreement partly concluded, is
said, substantially, to be the same as
the modus vivendi of last year, and that
expires on the Oath proximo.
Active preparations are now being
made at the navy and treasury depart
ments for the dispatch of vessels to
Bering sea. The vessels to be used in
this service will be the revenue steam
ers Rush, Bear, Corwin and Albatross,
and the warships Ranger, Adams and
Mohican, and possibly either the
Charleston, Baltimore or Yorktown.
These arrangements are being made in
anticipation of the favorable conclusion
of the negotiations for modus vivendi
which will include active cooperation
on the part of the British navy.

proprietors of the Register-Gazette. OF

article article last January, charging
