SCENES
During the Recent Epidemic of
Yellow Fever.
Thoroughfares Lined with Dead
and Dying.

Hundreds of UncofHned Bodies Tossed
Into Trenches and Buried as on a
Battlefield "A Number of Vessels
Abandoned, Their Crews Having Fallen
Victims to the Disease.
PHILADELPHIA, May l4.-The bark
Samuel B. Hale arrived here from San
tos. Captain Guptill died of yellow
fever at sea, on the 10th of March.
Mate Westerborg's description of the
prevalence of the yellow fever at Santos
and the misery brought about by its
deadly effects is horrible. He said it
was no unusual thing to see the bodies
Of men and children lying along the
narrow thoroughfares slowly wasting to
death. Every hospital was crowded
and the authorities were powerless.
Officers of the government were seen to
kick aside out of the thoroughfares the
bodies of human bodies who had died
on the streets, so as not to obstruct the
pathways Large plots of ground
owned by the government were used
for the burial of the unfortunates who
have succumbed to the plague. No
collins were used. The usual way of
burying the dead was to dig long
trenches, into which hundreds of bodies
were thrown. The suffering samong the
sailors were alike fearful. Numbers of
vessels were practically abandoned,
there being no ono left to look out for
their interests.

T. III. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis,
was troubled with Neuralgia and
Rheumatism, his Stomach was dis
ordered, his Liver was affected to an
alarming degree, appetite fell away,
and he was terribly reduced in flesh

trio bitters cured him.
Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, H.,
hada running sore on his leg of eight
years standing. Used three bottles of
Electric Bitters and seven boxes of
Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is
sound and well. John Speaker, Ca
tawba, o., had five large Fever sores
on his leg, doctors said he was incu-
rable. One bottle of Electric Bitters

r1es 41-canber cartridge OF seventy
grains of black powder and bullet.
The difference in weight will enable
men to carry much more ammunition,
and the smokeless powder being much
more effective than the other, will pro-
duce more deadly results and still leave
the gun barrels untarnished. A re-
markable fact about the smOkeless pow
der is that instead of making the guns
smell vilely, as the other powder does,
it leaves an odor like that of fresh pine
apples after firing. The final test before
the board will take place next week at
the Springfield armory.

Som ething New In Sugar.

HAVANA, May 14.-The process of a
French chemist, consisting of the mix
ture of molasses with the cane juice for
manufacturing sugars, seems to have
proved complete success, if the recent
reports from Cienfuegos are true. In
these reports it is said that the new proc
ess is affording excellent results, mas
much as 1t yields II 1-2 per cent. of first
jet sugar polarizing $3.50 degrees, on
an average. Furthermore, the mana
gers of the American Sugar Refining
company declare that the sugar thus
produced is the handsomest raw sugar
ever imported into the United States,
and they readily pay for the cargoes of
this brand of sugar one-sixteenth of a
cent more than the ruling quotations.

Navigation Under Water.

DETROIT, May 14.-George c. Bakers
new submarine boat was taken into the
Detroit river and sunk and navigated
entirely under water, Thursday after
noon, and the result of the trip was
such as to prove to the most skeptical
that submarine navigation is not only
probable but is actually an accomplished
fact. The new boat, with its electrician,
Goddard, inside, was run into Detroit
river opposite the mouth of the Rouge,
and was there operated in all directions
with view to testing it in every posi-
bile way. 1t worked entirely to the sat
isfaction of Mr. Baker, but few people
saw the test made, as it was entirely i'm
promptu. A public exhibition will prob
ably be given in short time.

VENEZUELA.
The Situation There is Any
thing but Promising.
The ReVolutioniSts Now Resort
ing to Dynamite.

Two More Attempts to Blow Up Govern
ment Buildings-Some Damage Done,
but No One Killed or Seriously Inj ured.
Ex-President Paul Favors the RevoIu-
tion-Palacio Losing His Grip.
New York, May IA special to
The Herald from Caracas, Venezuela,
says two more attempts were made
Wednesday to blow up government
buildings with dynamite bombs. The
federal palace was one Of the buildings
which the revolutionists sought to
wreck, and although the bomb was
exploded alongside the building no
damage was done. The news of the
attempt spread rapidly and added to
the intense excitement.
While the whole city was in state of
terror over the discovery, the other
bomb was fired. The scene was the
military headquarters, and it was a
most daring attempt. All the panes of
glass in the building at the time were
shattered and number of soldiers who
were in the building at the time were
very much frightened. No one, how
ever, was killed or seriously injured.
One man has been arrested on suspicion
of knowing something of the explosions
A Failure.
The commission sent out by the gov
eminent to the insurgent chief has re-
turned to Caracas. 1t reports that it has
utterly failed in its mission. General
Crespo bluntly and emphatically de-
clined to treat for peace unless Palacio
released the judges whom he has i'm
prisoned, recalled congress and ordered
the elections to take place Immediately.
Palacio Apologies to Spain.
Palacio has made an abiect apology
to the Spanish government on the
factory to the Spanish minister. A
her commander is en- route. Repara-
ton for the alleged insult to the gov
eminent will be demanded.
The correspondent adds that he is re-
iably informed that the rebels are
drawing near Caracas. Public discon-
tent is becoming more and more pro-
nounced.
Palacio has just announced that he is
gaining adherents in the western states
and that the revolution is practically at
an end in that part of the republic.
He also claims that coffee is now being
gradually moved from the interior, and
business is being gradually resumed.
Being Forced to the Wall.
Palacio realizes he is being forced to
the wall, and he must quickly make a
supreme effort to overthrow the enemy
or his power will be at an end He is in
constant fear of assassination. Further
more his supporters are deserving him,
while the rebellion is growing stronger.
Favors the Rebellion.
Ex-President Paul has come out open
ly in favor of rebellion. He and Gen
eral Colinas are raising strong volun-
teer force among Venezuelan refugees
ut Curacao. 1t is believed it is their in
tention to land shortly on Venezuelan
coast east Of Caracas.
Arms from the United States.
The large consignment of arms from
the United States is being shipped at
Curacao by the local Dutch authori-
ties, who have grown friendly to the
reVolutioniSts.

Why Austria-Hungaryw Wants Gold.

PARIS, May l4.-It is said here that
efforts of Austria Hungary to increase
her store of gold are due, not to the
the empires desire to resume specie pay
ments, but to her desire to collect a
large war treasure. The threatening at
titude of Russia and the apparent weak
ness of Italy are said to have caused the
empire to take this precaution. In case
of war Austria feels that Germany will
have only enough money for her own
mobilization and that Italy may have to
be helped. Therefore Emperor Francis
Joseph and Count Kalnoky are anxious
to have ready at the first movement to
the frontier gold treasure equal to
that of the German empire.
