REBELS TAKE ANOTHER CITY.
Almost 1000 Men Slaughtered on Both

Almost 1000 Men Slaughtered on Both
Sides In q venrzaela Battle.
TRINIDAD, Aug. 13.-News has reached here
that the city Of Bolivar has fallen into the
hands of Legalists after a desperate and
bloody battle. The Legalists, some 1000
men strong, were under command of Gener-
ais Hernandez and Gil. They appeared be-
fore the city early this morning and de-
manded of the commander Of the Govern.
ment forces that he surrender. The reply
was prompt refusal.
Hernandez and GIL, at the head Of their
forces, advanced on the position of the Gov
ernment troops and attacked in the face of
murderous fire. The attack was made
with desperate courage and was resisted
with equal vigor. For a time tho decision
was in the balance but numbers told at last
and the Governmentals gave back slowly.
It was not until Generals Carrera, Acosta
and Laudalta had been killed at the head OF
their troops that the GovernmentaIs broke
and fed from the field, leaving nearly 500
men dead. The Legalists, while they lost
no general officers, suffered fully as much as
the Governmentals, losing almost 500 men.

ANARCHISTS AND THE LAW,

The following inquiries present a SUBJ
ject which is attaining much prominence
in the public mind, and suggests policy
toward which large share of public
opinion is drifting:
First-Is it not possible for the United
States Government TO pass a law prohibiting
the landing of Anarchists in Americaf
Second-Also to expel those who are al
ready in Americaf
Third-If so, do you not think it high time
that such law was passed.
We know of no constitutional obstacle
to law forbidding the admission of any
class that is defined as obnoxious to public
policy, or to expel the same class under
due process of law But the first ques-
tons that would arise. with regard to
such law are, first, how the class is to be
defined; and second, how ii is to be identi-
fed? Are we to exclude people who be-
lieve, for instance, in overthrowing such a
Government as that of Russia by force; or
simply those who employ dynamite or
assassination to further their ideas? Shall
we make it an offense simply to huld the
communist opinions of Anarchists, or will
it be necessary to base the prohibition on
overt acts of assassination or arson in
foreign countries?
When those questions are settled the
further question-how the law is to be en-
forced-will follow. Are the Anarchists
to be asked to declare themselves on land
ing, or are men to be excluded on sus-
picion? The first method would be farci-
cal; the second, if 1t was any more eff
cient. might work injustice to many more
innocent immigrants than Anarchists.
Even if it were possible to make such a
law effective at the ports of entry, the alb
sence of any means to identify Anarchists,
as we can Cinnamon, would make it an
easy matter for them to cross over thou
sands Of miles of Northern or Southern

DIVIDING BIO aRANDE WATER

Queer Dispute Between Mexicans and
Texans About to Be Settled.
AUSTIN, Tex. Aug. Ex-Governor Hogg was
Yesterday advised of rather odd dispute
going on between citizens of the United
States and of Mexico along the Upper Rio
Grande. 1t regards the equitable rights of
each to the water from the river for pur-
poses of irrigation. The Americans say the
Mexican dams have caught all the flow and
caused great loss to farmers on this side.
The Governor Of chihuahua Is now at FL
Paso to confer with United States officers.
He said the whole business would be ar
ranged satisfactorily; Mexico would show
her liberality and divide the water with her
American neighbor fairly and equally.

PITTsBURG. Feb. 23.-Two children were
burned to death in o fire at McKeesport
last night, almost within reach of their
father. who. In his brave efforts to rescue
his little ones, almost perished amid the
smoke and flames himself. and it is not al

he was on duty at the engine house. Little
thinking that it was his own house that
was on 6re. or of the terrible calamity that
was about to fall upon HIM. Lynch jumped
on the hose cart and rode TO
the burning house, which he was
horror-stricken to find was his own.
The house was one mass of flames when the
fremen arrived. Lynch at once rushed
into the flame and smoke in search Of his
wife and children. The frantic father had
scarcely got inside the door when he was
overcome by the dense smoke and fell for
ward on his face unconscious. Several of
his fellew-f -fremen jumped to his assist
Guilty he was rescued. Meantime two Of
his children, aeleep in an upper room,
were caught by the flames and burned to
death. Another little girl was badly
burned, but some OF the firemen succeeded
in rescuing her. She may die. Lynch is
still in q critical condition, and it is
thought he cannot survive. Mrs. Lynch
succeeded In escaping from the burning
building without serious injury.
