THE VIOLET HERE.
All Ready for the Presidential Duck
Ing Expedition.

Ing Expedition.
The buoy tender Violet, which will serve
as private yacht for President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle during their pro-
posed ducking trip to Chesapeake bay and
the sounds of North Carolina, reached
Washington at o'clock this morning from
Baltimore, where she has been lying for a
month more The Violet with the
American flag flying. made fast to the
wharf of the Kennebec Ice Company, just
above Stephensons wharf. 1t is expected
that the party will set off down stream to-
morrow Wednesday.
The Violet differs from the Maple, which
was used by the President and Secretary
Gresham on the last administration cru
SADIE against the ducks, in that she Is a
side-wheel steamer, the Maple being pro-
peller. Like the other light house and buoy
tenders, the hull of the Violet is painted
black and the upper portion yellow. The
steamer by no means resembles palace or
the private yacht OF millionaire, being
smaller than the average excursion steamer,
with no evidences of luxury apparent about
her. She is commanded by Capt. Donald
and carries crew of nineteen men.
All was quiet aboard this afternoon when
a Star reporter, without disclosing his
identity, asked permission of the quarter
master to inspect the steamer. The quar-
termaster carefully scrutinized the new
went in search of the captain. After a de-
lay of several moments the captain emerged
from his room aft, and after taking an ex-
tended look at the reporter granted the
necessary permission to come aboard.
The room which will probably be occupied
by the President and Secretary Carlisle
during the trip Is situated on the upper
deck near the stern of the boat. 1t Is fitted
with double brass bedstead, a bureau
with large mirror, writing desk, a table,
rocking chairs, rich carpets. curtains and
portiers. copy of Tales From Town
Topics occupied a prominent position on
the table,
On the lower deck Is small cabin with
bed room leading off. which might be
used by the chief executive instead of the
one above.
No mention of the President could be
Drawn from any one aboard, but. on the
contrary, there a noticeable effort to
impress the reporter with the fact that the
Violet is in these waters for the sole pur-
pose of repairing buoYs, all of which. it
was claimed, have been greatly damaged
by the ice.

LONDON. March 4-Mr. John Morley.

accepted the declaration of unionist belief
made by the member for South Tyrone,
Mr. Thomas Wallace Russell. that the land

turbance and ill-feeling in Ireland, and that
parliament was competent 20 make such
laws as the condition of Ireland required.

Suspected Gambling Houses Sur

Policemen Duvall and Hartley of the
second precinct made two raids early yes
terday morning and interrupted games of

ers and several packs Of cards and sets Of
bones John Briscoe and William Motion,
the colored men arrested, seem to have a
fondness for cards, which they know is al
most certain to get them in trouble. Motion
was raided cnce before for keeping q
''speak-easy'' and spent several months on
the farm, while Briscoe has once paid the
penalty for keeping a gambling place.
The officers had learned Of these alleged
gambling places, and about 1915 o'clock a
call was made on Motion, who has rooms
at 457 l. street. There was a light seen in
the rooms, and the officers gave gentle
tap on the door, hoping to get response.
In this they were not mistaken, for husky
voice within inquir eG: who's there?"
Me" answered one of the officers in a
whisper: '1et me in quick"
The man inside the house. whose heart
was made glad because he expected an
other player with a stake" opened the
door, and when he saw that the early
morning visitors were officers he wanted
TO faint Escape was then matter Of i'm
possibility, and the card players found
themselves under arrest.
A game Of crap had been played earlier
in the night, so the officers were Informed,
tIliS Hdu DeeH ldlQ ASIDE, ana games
of five-up and poker had taken its place.
Motion and seven guests were in the
room, and about two hours after they had
been carefully looked after Briscoe's house
was visited. He had been ralded before
and made to pay the penalty for setting up
"a gaming table, and SO raid was nothing
new to him. His home is at 51a Fenton
place, and when the officers reached there
they found the door securely fastened To
knock at this door meant a warning to the
players, which would probably defeat the
officers in their undertaking, and SO they
concluded not to take the chances With
but little effort they caused the dropping
of the lock and in the back room Rriscoe
and three visitors were seated about the
card table. One of them managed to run
upstairs in his effort to escape but as he
was afraid to jump out the window he was
captured and taken with the Others
In the Court.
When the cases were called in Judge
Miller's court this morning. Briscoe was
first tried and the witnesses failing to SUBJ
stantiate the charge, the case was dis
missed.
In the case of Motion, his counsel entered
a plea of guilty. The defendant is a Grip
pie and as the game did not amount to
much the court took his personal bonds to
appear for sentence.

COLOMBIAN REBELS GAIN.
The Situation Alarming From the
Governments Standpoint.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, March 4.-Mr. C. F. z.
Caracristi, general manager of the PAN
American Investment Company, with Of
fees in the Sun building. Washington, and
No. 80 Wall street. this city, was asked
this morning by a representative of The
Star as to his advices regarding the revo-
luton in the republic Of Colombia.
Il have just received the following letter
from a Colombian member Of congress-" he
said, which, translated, explains itself.
1t is dated BarranQuilla, February ~, and
says:
Although our government is making
every effort to disguise the truth of the
serious situation in the interior. yet private
adVlces that have come to me from BogOta
are not only dscouraging to our party, but
are calculated to stimulate the hope and
courage of the liberal revolutionists The
situation is alarming. and the revolution,
II not suppressed within week or two,
will gain such root in the minds of the
worthless poorer classes that 1t may not
be suppressed at all.
The government has done its best to
overcome the liberal movement, and nearly
all the liberals that are not actually under
arms against the government are i'm
prisQned.
IS The liberals have been ten years pre-
pairing this revolution against the church
and government, and we fear that they
have the support, moral at least Of Cen
Crespo, the president of our neighbor sister
republic Venezuela. He Is a liberal, and
did for Venezuela what Gen. Aceosta Is
trying to do for the liberals of this coun-
try. A most significant evidence of his IL
legitimate interference Is the fact that the
rebels are armed with Venezuelan rifles,
and 1t is known that the arms in the hands
of the liberals not only bear the devices of
Venezuela, but also we know that they
have been imported over the, Venezuelan
frontier by way of Maxacaibo and the Rio
Meta, branch of the Oronoca.
'The revolutionists are reported in pos
session Of a number of the interior towns
and river traffic Is totally suspended above
Banco. SO that all news has to be sent
from the interior by special carrier. The
wires are down all over the country, or in
the possession of the rebels. All kinds of
stories reach here from Venezuela and the
interior and are sent to Colon, and I pre-
sumo are published In the states.'"
Commenting on the above, Mr.. Caracristi
said: Il consider the views expressed by
the member of Congress as impartial, and
showing the ideas of the thinking people
OF Colombia. During my two years ex-
plorations in Colombia my contact was of
the most intimate character with leading
people. and have known of the war prep
arationS for years"

NEW YORK, March 4.-The steamer Wig
ilancia, which arrived this morning from
Havana, brings word that much excitement
prevailed on the south side of the Island
Of Cuba, particularly in the cities of Santi-
ago and Cienfugo. There had been consid-
cradle trouble at these cities, but particu-
lars were hard to obtain. owing to the gov
eminent censorship. The report of the
Heath of the rebel, Manuel Garcia, was con-
6rmed.
Matters are very quiet at Havana, the
city being under martial law. The last
Spanish war vessel in the harbor sailed for
Santiago on the morning Of February %.

LoNDoN's COUNCIL ELECTIONS.

Returns Show That Each Party Chose
Fifty-Nine Members.
LONDON, March 4.-The county council
elections have resulted in dead heat, each
side electing ffty-nine members. The dead
heat is due to the fact that Lord Dun
raven. for the moderates, was elected for
Wandsworth.
The progressives, however will have
small majority in the council on account
of the votes of the aldermen, who are
chiefly progressives.

last night at the Church Of the Reforma-
