VENEZUELA.

The Revolutions Successful and the Govern
Inent Overtbrown Flight OF the Late
President.
WAsHNdroN, Oct S. Confirmation Of
the report that IA decisive battle had
taken place between the government
forces and those ns the revol utionary
party In Venezuela was not received at
the navy department until yesterday
when a dispatch came to Secretary
Tracy from Rear Admiral Walker, com
manding the United states vessels in
Venezuelan waters, saying;
1T Is reported that an engagement
has taken place, resulting in the defeat
Of the government and capture OF the
Venezuelan ommander-in-chief near
Caracas. Revolutlonists win occupy
Caracas tomorrow.
This message was dated at La Guayra
and came to the navy departmenttwen
ty-four hours after it was filed. Short
ly after came another dispatch from
the admiral This was also dated La
Guayra last night and read as follows:
president and Venezuelan ministry
have abandoned Venezuela. Reyolu-
tionists successful"
Both dispatches were in the naval
code, and as they were short they were
quickly transmitted and copies sent TO
Acting Secretary Adee, of the state de-
partment, and to Secretary Tracy The
officials of the navy department decline
to state whether or not any instructions
were forwarded to Adm. Walker after
the receipt Of the dispatches, but it is
said that a message was Immediately
sent him to remain at La Guayra and
to order the Concord, now at Colon,
back to Venezuela, should he think the
occasion warranted her presence. No
dispatches have been received lately by
the state department from Venezuela.
1t is known that messages We're sent
to Adm. Walker by Secretary Tracy,
but their report is kept a secret 1t is
thought probable that the next step
will be the formation Of a new govern
ment with Gen Crespo at the heau of
affairs. The statement that Consul
Hanna, while ont in private boat,
was fired at from the guns of a Vene-
zuelan warship is thought to have been
an accident, as had the consul
been fired on out Of hostility to
the United States either Minister
Scruggs or Adm Walker would GER
tainly have promptly notified the
authorities in Washington. The United
States is better represented by war
vessels in Venezuela than any other
country. There are two vessels there,
the admiraIs flag ship, and the old cor
vette Kearsage with the gun boat Con-
cord at Colon within easy reach should
they be wanted. Germany and Italy
are the only other countries having
naval ships present 1t is said that our
naval vessels will be kept there until
all danger to American interests is over.

Chicago Workingmen Preparing a Counter
Demonstration.
CHICAGO, oct. s-A demonstration by
worSingmen the day before that set for
the worlds fair dedicatory exercises is
said to be among the possibilities. This
is in consequence of the decision to close
the gates on October II against all
who do not hold invit tltionS. Sew
eral Of the labor organizations have
received invitations to participate
in the parade but they have
declined them. This deelination,
SO the labor men say, is not Ia
be looked upon in the light of an insult
to the committee that rendered them,
but rather as conveying the feeling of
Chicagos vast army of organized work
men toward the Columbian exposition.
The latest move that to have a sepa-
rate parade. and 10 hold il one day
earlier than the regular affair, has been
agitated for the last three or four days,
and the proposition. il is said, has met
with favor on every hand.
A powerful effort, it is asserted, has
been at work to keep the men from do
ing anything that >,onld place organ
lied labor i'm an antagonistic light but
the efforts have proved futile and those
who are responsible for the separate
parade agitation assert that when the
matter is once brought before the labor
organizations of the city they will be
only too willing 10 lead th1iT assist

The Little kentucky Queen Trots Mile

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Oct Twelve
thousand people saw Nancy Hanks go
mile in 2:06 at the fair grounds, New
Albany, Ind, yesterday afternoon.
The track was in excellent condition
and the little Kentucky queen was in
the prime of condition. She went two
exhibition heats early in the afternoon,
and it was nearly o'clock when Bud
Doble and the little mare came upon
the track.
At the first trial Abe Lincoln, the
queens running mate, ran into the
fence, but at the second Dolle nodded
his head and Nancy was off at her world
beating gait. She was to beat 2:07 and
few doubted she would do it, She went
to the first quarter in 32 3-5 seconds
After starting she flew by the three
quarter flag, never having been touched
by the whip. In the stretch Doble
tapped the little wonder several times
with the whip, and she came under the
wire in POO fiat.
