Leguayra," said Captain Woodrock, "but
from shipboard could see a lavish dis
play of flags and bunting on the buildings
and 1 could hear the strains of the many
bands, Above all the noise l could hear
the music of Hail, Columbia. Brass bands
seemed to be playing in all parts of the
town and the people had evidently given
themselves over to one long celebration -
The captain said that life had been made
we'll nigh intolerable for some Englishmen
doing business at Caracas, and that many
had resolved to quit the country.

Venezuela, says:

AN OLD WOUND
VIII Cause the Death of Detective Briscoe {
Chicago

Will Cause the Death of Detective Briscoe Of
Chicago
CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Detective Emmett
Briscoe, who was wounded by bullet five
years ago while pursuing Pat Grove, one of
the most dangerous criminals in the coun-
try, is dying at Mercy hospital in this city
from the effects of the wound. In June,
1890, Grove broke into house in this
city and got away with $4,000 worth of
diamonds. BriscOe was assigned to watch
the pawnshops, and in his rounds he came
upon Grove, who was disposing of his ILL
gotten gains, and attempted TO arrest the
criminal. Grove was too quick, however.
He evaded the fficer and suddenly draw
ing revolver, he brought Briscoe to the
ground with well-directed shot and
escaped. Briscoe was removed TO the hos
pitai and his life hung on slender balance
for months. But he finally recovered and
although Grove had been convicted, he
was again set at liberty by Governor Fifer,
as his victim had fully recovered.
Grove was next heard of in connection
with number of daring murders, rob-
berries and hold-ups. He was caught in
Missouri and locked up at St. Joseph.
Grove is at present in the penitentiary
serving three years. sentence on a
chrage of train robbery, In the event of
Briscoe's death it will remain for the law
to decide whether he can be prosecuted on
charge of manslaush ier.
About week ago Briscoe's old wound
reopened and difficult surgical operation
was necessary and the surgeons fear he
cannot survive the shock,

AFTER SWINDLERS

Postofflce Inspectors Corral PeddIer Of
Bogus Lottery Tickets
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2S.-Federal off
cials are now giving their attention to lot
terry swindlers. The latest arrest is that of
Thomas Upson, alias Joe johnson, who has
been operating all over the Pacific coast
with what is known as installiment tickets.
Upson has been sending letters broadcast,
offering to sell lottery tickets on the in
stallment basis. The money received from
unsuspecting victims has been appropri-
ated to his own use. In some instances he
mailed to his correspondents bogus tickets
in acknowledgment of their remittances.
The charge upon which he Is under arrest
is but one of a number which the postotfice
inspectors hold against him.

GERMAN OPINION CHANGING
As the Merits of the Dispute Are
Learned
EngIands Efforts to Sound German Feeling
Met With Non.committaI Answers.
Combined Action Not Likely

BERLIN. Dec. 2S.-German feeling in the
Venezuelan difficulty seems to be veering
round, although the government s.udiously
refrains from an expression of opinion.
From an official of the foreign office, how
ever, it has been learned that several diplo-
matte attempts have been made by Great
Britain during the past week to get Ger
many to join in a movement looking to
combined European diplomatic action op.
posed to the latest application of the Mon
roe doctrine. These efforts have thus far
met with non-committal answers and, un-
less things assume much more serious
aspect, Germany will keep officially aloof
from the whole question.
Popular feeling is certainly more favor
able to the United States as the cause of
the whole trouble is coming to be UNDER
stood.

An Indians Revenge

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 2s.-Miguel Anton,
Pima Indian, was knitted and killed Fri.
day night at the lower Gila crossing, on the
Pima and Maricopa Indian reservation,
fourteen miles south of Phoenix. The
murderer is Pima known as Jose Luis.
He is fleeing from the wrath of his tribes
men, large number of Pimas being out
on the trail An Indian policeman came
to Phoenix for a warrant and for assistance
from the sheriff's office, but 1t is believed
the Indians will use tribal law upon Luis
when they capture him. The murder is a
striking instance of the revengeful nature
of the Indian, for the deed was in reprisal
for an injury done Luis by the deceased
