PALAcIo's FORCES ROUTED.
Tue venezusla Rebels Gain an Importan
 Victory.

N1otoEys
 PANAMA, via Galveston, June A. Trustworthy reports from Venezuela, brought by tho Colombian Telegraph Company, confirm the news of the de- feat of the government At Trujillo. Pa- lacio's forces were completely routed and many prisoners and military stores were captured.
 Gen. Ciprano Castro, who for some time has been penned in San Christobal by . force of Crespists, has been at tackled. Fugitives have spread stories of fierce fighting, and the number of killed and wounded on both sides was estimated at SOU.
 Conflicting reports as to the event of the battle have been brought over the Colombian border, but 1t is believed that the CreSpists were victorious, as they were better armed and had reinforce ments within easy reach, while Gen. Castro was three days march from any other force of government trops.
 The revolutionists have complete con- trol of most of the important military points outside ot Caracas and imme- dtate vicinity. General Monxano occu- pies Zamora with 2, 900 infantry, armed with Mannlicher repsaters and we'll pro- yided with food and ammunition. Gen. Colina occupies Los Andex and Gen. Mo rales occupies Falcon.
 It is thought probable that the Cresp- tsts have captured MaracAibo, which they were preparing to attack and might take with ease, as it was held by Gen. Arias with small force. The Crespists are well provided with ammunition and are supplied by the people with all the food and horses that they need.

 'sWeII, have quite made up my mind. Johns not to marry again, and hope you will not distress me by again bring ing up the question"
 not under like circumstances2 But he mastered his temper and replied, coolly: ssI shall bring it up once more, Janet, even at the risk of your displeasure, and if your answer is the same I shall % away from the country" In spite of herself, Janet started and showed signs of uneasiness. She knew Johns strong will, and all in moment she realized what his loss to her would be. To add to her discomfture Dot, who had not understood the conversation, caught Johns statement about going away and raised an indignant protest; clasping him more tightly than ever, she cried:
 DOn Aos uO way GaAAS cepG1n nc take Dot too" ''You see" said John to Janet, who made no reply, but, taking the child from him, burst into tears and fled into the house.
 John hunted up Mrs. Gregory and told his story, with the Vooden-headed- ness of men on such matters He was utterly discouraged, and told Mrs. Gregory that he was satisfied that Janet's heart was buried in Lanvale's gave, and that it would be distressing her unnecessarily to recur to the ques- ton again, and that the best thing he could do would be to emigrate. ''Don't you believe such rubbish for a minute. John. You go along about your busi- ness and after a bit you try again, and don't be too faint-hearted. As the ad- vice happened to chime in with Johns wishes he took it.

randa, watching with mournful pleasure the playful antics of three-yearsold baby girl.
 Mother and daughter both recognized him as he came into the gate and met him half way down the yard Mrs Gregory burst into tears as she threw her arms around him, and Janet held on to his hand crying in silent joy and sorrow.
 Out of the hell of blood and strife one only had come back to them, and that the one they had least valued; but now they knew in their hearts that they were not like so many in the sun ny southland, left utterly bereaved, and that God in his providence had spared one who would be like a tower of ref uge for the weary and shrinking souls.
 That day John gave up to rest and sad but sweet communion, but no longer The next morning at the meager breakfast table John asked as quietly as if he had only left home the day before: "Well, Mrs. Gregory, what is the condition of things hereP''
 'Nearly everything gone. John, but the land, Three or four old mules and a half dozen of the older negroes are on the place, and we have a few dollars of hard money"
 "All right, we will do famously." He went to his old room, laid aside his well-worn uniform, donned some of his old clothes, laid aside nearly five years before, and took hold of affairs vigor- ously,
 The few old negroes on the place were overjoyed to see him, and fell into his plans at once, and at noon he started four blows, leading himself with Selim.
 Mrs Gregory said to Janet that after noon, smiling through tears: My dear, John Is the grandest man I have ever known, and, best of all, he don't know 1t" .-.s ..-.
 John plowed, and planted, and hood vigorously, early and late; he and his three superannuated followers pushed the battle, and though they had started late, when the fall came, cribs full of corn and forty bales of cotton repaid their honest toll.

 '.My poor boy, to think of you working yourself to death for two poor creatures. ! must try to be q mother to you in- deed, and look after you closely. or you will kill yourself"
 He looked at the kind loving face, so changed since he had first known 1t, and yet the same, and as he softly strolred the thin hand. he spoke from a full heart:
 ''I was dreaming . little. and In the dream my mother came to me, and told me not to be discouraged and all would come right, and then awolre."
 Mrs. Gregory had for the time for gotten her errand.
 'tJohn, why are you so good to us2 You are not of our blood, you have splendid capacity and could carve out fortune for yourself Why do you tie yourself down to two helpless women who have no claims on you"
 John made an effort, steadied his voice

 'tMrs. Gregoryl am surprised at you. Have you forgotten the poor. homeless waif to whom you gave food and shelter and affection? have not. and have not forgotten that the last word I ever had with the general was a promise to care for you if God spared me-"
 He had risen as he spoke as if to repeI the insinuation in her statement that he might better his condition else where. She answered by putting her arms around his neck. ''My son, my son, I feel as truly that you are my son as if you had been born to me"
 The young man tenderly supported her as he replied: Mother, will in- deed try to be 8 good son to you," and thus was ratified compact between two true souls, which was never broken. Henceforth it was "Mother" and "Son."s

turned aside Mrs. Gregory's allusions to his overworking himself by telling her that he was tough and stringy."
 She never caught him mapping but once; in September, after a spell of bad weather, he had come to the house one night utterly done up, had eaten his supper in more than usual silence and retired to his own room very early. Mrs. Gregory, remembering some little matter she wanted to speak about, went to his room and knocked, but re- ceiving no reply opened the door, and, seeing him stretched out in his big homemade chair, went in. John was so dead-tired that he had thrown him self back in his chair, and fallen into a dreamy reverie so profound that he had neither heard Mrs. Gregoyy's knock or entrance.
 Mrs Gregory was not an old woman, counting years, but sorrow had left its unfading marks upon face and form; she both looked and felt an old woman. As she stood over the dozing young man, in the relaxation of utter exhaus- ton, her heart went out to the man, who was In such large measure the pos sessor of that rarest of all virtues, Rrati- tude. and her conscience smote her as she knew that they had not truly ap- preciated the goodness of tho man who was giving the strength of his days to their service.

Believed that the Przibram Mine Was Set
 on Fire by DIssatisned wOrkmen.
 VIENNA, June A-Bohemian news papers say the Przibram fire was un- dOubtedly incendiAry. The fire started where the wooden supports were most numerous. During the changing of the shifts the supports were soaked with petroleum and shortly afterward the fire was set.
 Detectives from Vienna and Prague are at Prxibram, conducting investiRa- tions among the men who left the mine in the last shift before the fire. The motive of the incendiaries is supposed to have been revenge upon the owners, as trouble has been threatening for some time on account of the lowness of wages.
 The corrected list of victims shows that S26 miners, five students of mining and one mining instructor perished in the flames
