REDS ARE In REVOL
They Have Thrown Venezuela
Into Terror
BY RAPINE AND DYNAMITE
Private Houses Turned Into Prisons to
confine Prisoners Without Tnal.
ALeader's Bold Challenge.

PANAMA, VIA GALVESTON. May 27.-
The officers Of steamship arriving
here from LaGuayra today confirms
the worst of recent reports as to the
anarchistic condition OF Venezuela and
gives news of repeated dynamite out
RACES which have spread terror among
the citizens Of the capitol. Frequent
engagements have taken place within
the last three weeks, but the combat
ants have been only small bands of
government troops and gangs OF raid
ers who call themselves revolutionists.
Several score Of wounded have been
brought to Caracas. but the govern
ment reports, nevertheless, that Its
troops have been victorious in every
engagement. General Crespos chal-
lenges Casanas 70 bring his army IN the
open field and settle the question of
supremacy once and for all. % 20 70
relieve the sufferlngs of the people,
and il has won him many frlenda.
Casaaas, after refusing to meet
Crespos returned to Caracas and
resigned his Offices as Palacio's physi-
clan, chief advisor and commander OF
the army. Palacio suspected treachery
and committed him to prison.
The state of general intimidation IN
the capital for the last two weeks has
been unprecedented. Carloads of pri-
soners have been brought in from La
Guayra and other cities in the hands
of the government and have been
marched in chains through the streets
- Warning to local disl0yalists.
The Prisons Are Tuu.
The prisons already are full of men
arrested in Caracas. Private houses
have been turned into prisons. All are
confined without trial and after q
merely superficial examination in
Canora. Hardly . night passes with
out raid by Palacio's soldiers on the
families Of private citizens. The
houses are searched, the plate aud
money seized and the men are led of
to prison. Three explosions Of
dynamite within the last two weeks
have increased the spprehensions of
all residents of the city, and have given
the government excuses for arresting
many innocent men. On May 25 =
bomb was exploded in the entry way of
the military academy. The door lead
ing into the first lecture room was
blown in and two cadets and an officer
we're killed by flying metal and
splinters. Several others were injured,
including three men and woman pass
ing tho building at the time of the ex-
ploslon. The whole district around
the academy was shaken. and the re-
port got abroad that Crespos was before
the city and had begun the lombard
ment. The streets were filled with
frightened men ADD women, the mill.
tary was called out, and for two hours
panic and the wildcat apprehension
prevailed throughout the city. Four
days later shanty on the outskirts of
the city was blown up and one man
injured.

duction of $685. ,946 FROM the eeti.

PENSIONS IN THE HOUSE.
Mr.. Harries Reports Adversely on an
Alien Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 2y.-Mr. Harries
of Minnesota. from the committee on
invalid pensions, reported 10 the house
today adversely the bill introduced by
Mr. Newberry Of Illinois. relating 70
pensions granted to pensioners who are
foreigners or not bonatide residents OF
the United States. In the report on the
measure he said that Its object 10 TO
eliminate from the pension rolls the
names OF all persons who are not citi-
zens and bonafide residents of this
country. The passage of such mea-
suse, he says, would, in the opinion OF
the committee, work injury 70 : worthy
class OF persons. who by reason Of
services in the army and navy Of the
United States have become entitled
under existing laws 70 the recognition
of this government. but who, because
of the reduced expense Of living, or
for any other reason have gone abroad.
Their residence, he says IN conclusion,
is not. in the opinion Of the committee,
sufficient 10 justify the withdrawal Of
pensions which have been granted
them.

DR.. BRIGGS CASE POSTPONED.
The Assembly a. Portland Wnl Take Il
Up Today.

Up Today.
PORTLAND. Ore. May s7.-In the Pres
byserian assembly today, while the
prosecuting committee and Doctor
Briggs were consulting. the assembly
called upon unfinished busineas. Under
this head the revis,on committees' re-
port was considered. Dr.W. c. Roberts
said that the impression has gone out
that il had been adopted by the CON-
mlttee without discuss,on. This WAS
an error. - every section was adopted
after . most heated discussion. The
old opfessiou contained two distinct
styles Of Calviuism and this report will
not conflict with the CAlvanlst doctrlne.
Since We have made our change the re.
port should be adopted - = whole and
sent TO the Presbyteries. All will then
have IN opportunity 70 take II up then
by item. Az the conclusion Of the ro-
port dozen members jumped up 70
make - many different kinds of mo-
tions, but before settlement could be
reached he conference on the reso-
luton Wa ended. The committee
on prosecution, and DR.. Briggs then
came into the assembly aud the house
attended 40 church court. The Rev.
Streueille of Montana stated his regret
that an agreement could not be
reached; that DR.. Briggs was willing to
accept any of the offered resolutions TO
bring about the denrsd result. but the
committee on prosecution would listen
to mono Of them.
Colonel Mcf,ook said that they were
prepared to argue the appeal. but that
the committee WAS IN the hands Of the
assembly and felt they had no right TO
stipulate the rights of the church. At
this point the moderator called atten-
ton to the order Of the house TO re-
ceive delegates from corresponding
bodies, and the Briggs case went over
till afternoon. The Rev. DR.. Chambers,
representing the Reformed Dutch
church Of America, aud DIR. Thcofile
waldensou church, then delivered brief
Jankin took thu floor in the interest
OF peace, ~ he said. The speaker
called order on the ground that discus
SION WAS not proper until an appeal has
been sustained. DR.. Birch, Of New
York, took the floor aud stated at
length elk grounds on which the appeal
from tho action of the New York Pres
bytery Was based, namely, irregularity
in the proceedings; the receiving of i'm
proper testimony; declining to re-
ceive important testimony; hasten
ing to . decision before the
testimony Was fully taken, manifesto
ton OF prejudice in the conduct of the
case, aud mistake of injustice to de
cision. Dr.. Briggs was then heard.
He said the assembly had no right 70
entertain the appeal against his pro-
test. He made . strong, logical argu-
ment and held the close attention Of
theA assembly until the hour of adjourn
ment- He will conclude tomorrow.
The assembly d 10 hold On evening
session, when the subject of revision
will be further discussed.
