Laredo, Tex, October 1t appears
that the Florida Club has doubts as
to their ability TO pull off the Corbett-

that the fight would be pulled off there.
The option is for one month, but furth-

New York, Oct l9-That the Ven-

stage with possibilities of resistance by
the South American government to
British aggression was signified by dis
closures made In New York to-day on
the best of authority. The government
of Venezuela has provided itself with
modern armament and among other sup

placed through any firm, and the Eng

the destination of the guns. At the

cesslons on the Venezuelan gold land

World from this city, where he is stay
ing for few days: ''The report from
Cuba that General Campos is insane is
probably unfoundcd. Its value as news
is on par with four-fifths of the so
called news of the Cuban rebellion. If
there has been any departure from the
normal in General Campos' condition
the change has occurred since l saw
him last Il fortnight ago.
To-day Campos controls every sea-
port every town, every hamlet. every
point Of consequence on the railways.
in fact nearly every cross road in the
district in revolt. He needs more
troops for this policy Of guarding every
important point has fully occupied his
army. The total number of men in
the Spanish army in Cuba is less than
10000. This includes nearly 6O,OOO reg
ular troops, volunteers civic guards and

should insist on having at least $4,000
more soldiers. At the present time

1000 are working. On the Crescent

Miss Willard urged determined ac,
ton by women for the elevation OF
the stage, literature and OF art and
the establishment OF places where
young women and men could meet
for harmless amusement or the pub

deliberate conviction that until women
are associated with men in the super
vision Of public nmusements there is
practically no hope of utilizing this
mighty force for the publication and
uplifting of humanity.
Miss Willard holds to the idea she
has advocated so long, that the Prohi-
bition party should change its name
to Home Protection party. She says
that the use of the word Prohibition AS
the name of the party has given an
excuse to the pulplts Of the land to
cease from advocating the principles
OF prohibition. The boys brigades are
