FLORENCE WRECKED.
SCARCELY A WHOLE HOUSE LEFT
STANDING.
Fabulous Prices offered For Com
veyances to Get Away From the
City or to Sleep Ina Great Panic

London, May PA dispatch from
Florence to the Daily News gives some
description of the scenes of panic and
disorder in that city that accompanied
the shocks of earthquake on Saturday
night The damage was Widespread
and so general that, the Daily News
correspondent asserts, there is hardly
a house in the whole sity of palaces,
cathedralS and repositories Of the
treasures of art of all ages that has
not suffered.
A performance was in progress in
the Grand Opera house. which seats
upwards of 10000 persons. when the
first shock was felt. A great rumbling
was heard and the structure seemed to
sway and rock to its foundations.
People jumped from their seats. A
great outcry ensued, the people being
in a state of the utmost panic. Many
fled from the theatre, with the instinct
TO make for the open space which al
ways takes hold of the crowd in the
presence of an earthquake. The more
plucky, however, remained and, aSSur-
ing each other that the danger was
past, resumed their seats and the per-
formance continued. 1t was still in
progress when the second and severer
shock was felt and the whole audience
fled to the narrow streets.
Fabulous prices were offered for
conveyances in which to get away
from the city or to sleep in. Many
rich Americans and Europeans were
the successful bidders in the lively
competition to secure omnibuses in
which to spend the night
All kinds of vehicles were employed
as sleeping quarters by the popula-
ton. 1t is calculated that there were
1000 carriages used in this way in
Florence during Saturday night.

CHICAGO AT THE OPERA.
And the Very Wonderful TransfOr-
nation That Suddenly Came Der
the Audience.

The Auditorium of Chicago built for
political conventions, was in the swirl
of the operate season. Mr. Grau had
brought along three soloists Of the Metro
politan company from New York and char
tered chorus OF twenty-five from
west-side tobacco factory. With ten Ger
man street bands he had made up an
orchestra which blew 'Lohengrin'' out Of
the skylights the first night and silenced
the government foghorn on the break
water. The imitation OF the grand saloon
OF a sound steamer, was brilliantly illum-
mated. The organpipeS in the paddle
boxes adjoining the stage were cunningly
concealed. 1t only needed the usual NUM-
Der of passengers who had been told that
there were no staterooIns vacant and q
colored stewardess to blackrnail them into
paying three prices for berths, OF which
she always has number to sell to tbs
unknoWing, TO complete the illusion.
Two of MIR. Grau's principals, the west
side chorus and the combine OF little Ger
man bands were wrestling with Romeo
ct Juliette." Mr.. Romeo was trying in the
dim light of a rising cheese-boX. with a
red glass front and tallow candle inside
representing the morning sun, to climb
out of the upper window. where Mrs.
Juliet was hanging In Mysteries, and
make his escape from an irate sire still
unconscious that he was new father-in-
law.
Chicago society was out in numbers.
Three separate sets of the four hundreds
from three sides OF Tie city were glarlnS
at each other and saying mean things
about each others gowns, while the
fourth four hundred, from Evanston, sat
in silent classic and intellectual scorn.
The night became warm, as if to shame
the operate troupe, which in its anxiety
to reach the nearest saloon was num-
bling hastily through the fifth act The
janitor softly opened several slSylightS to
cool the air and restore healthy circu-
lation. AS the draught gayly flew in at
the windows clouds of SCOT followed and

A TANGLED WEB.
AMERICA Is ASKED To ACT AS IN
TERMEDIARY.
This Time the Trouble is Between
France and Venezuela, and Has
Resulted in a Complete Termina-
ton of Diplomatic Relations Be-
tween Them.

Washington, May 22.-The United
States has been again asked to act as
an intermediary in an international
complication. This time the trouble is
between France and Venezuela, re-
sulting in a complete termination of
diplomatic relations between them.
The French minister at Caracas re-
Gently was given his passports,
whereupon France sent two warships to
take away her minister and all the le-
cation archives. At the same time
France handed to the Venezuelan min
lister at Paris his passports and he
Summarly departed.
The request for the mediation Of the
United States is made by the Vene-
zuelan government, through its min
lister at Washington, Senior Andrade.
He was instructed by the Venezuelan
minister of foreign affairs a short
while ago to request that the United
States ambassador at Paris, Mr.. Eus-
tbs, be asked to act as intermediary in
restoring friendly relations between
the two countries. The United States
legation at Caracas was also notified
of the desire of the Venezuelan govern
ment and sent a recommendation to the
state department that he ofice Of in
termediary be accepted. Department
officials will not discuss the matter
and it cannot be ascertained whether
instructions have been sent to Ambas-
Sador Eustis
Should this country undertake The
reconciliation it will make TWO CUES
tons in which our officials are inter
mediaries with Eur0 2ean governments
in behalf of Venezuela. Ambassador
Bayard is already engaged in effect
ing a. solution of the British Venezuela
question.
The trouble between France and
Venezuela originated about four
months ago. a number of Europeans
residing at Caracas. united in a con-
fidential note to their respective gov
ernments, in which they told of the
lax condition of the government, and
the tendency of Venezuelan officials
to avoid the settlement of just claims.
The note was signed by the ministers
of France, Germany. Spain and Bel
GUM. The Italian minister did not
sign it, but sent il to his government
'confidentiaF' was omitted from the
note, and Italy published it with the
signatures of the four ministers, in
the Italian greenbook. Venezuela
thus was publicly pilloried. She at
once gave their passports to- the
French, Spanish and Belgian minis
ters, but the German minister had
left before this indignity could be of
fered to him. By this step Venezuela
was almost cut off from relations
with leading nations. Great Britain
withdrew her minister some time ago
because of the boundary troubles. It
is with a view of overcoming this iso-
lation that Venezuela asks the kindly
Offices of the United States.

blow to prize fighting which the Flor
ida legislature landed, they did not
discuss it. Indeed, they did not even
exchange glances. Fitzsimmons said
he expected Vendig's club would be

'@That club may have to forfeit its
S., 000,'' he remarked. ''Vendig has
been making some bad breaks, and a
good calling down would do him a
world of good. I am willing to fight

Havana, May 2S.-With Marti and
Gomez out of the way. the Spanish
officials expect to make short work of
the remaining bands of insurgents.
A doctor has been sent from Santi-
ago de Cuba to embalm the body of
Marti, and it will be afterwards taken
to Santiago de Cuba, where the peo-
pie will be allowed to view it, in or
der that there may be no possible
doubt as to the fate of the rebel
leader.
News has also been received here of
another victory of the Spanish troops
over the rebels. This engagement
was fought on Wednesday last, May
Is, near the Jauco river. The rebels
retreated and were pursued and again
defeated on May 16 and II. The lat
ter two engagements were fought at
Capiro Mountain and at Mount Jau-
mul. The fighting was mostly in the
bushes. The exact number of wound
ed is not known, but five rebels were
killed during the three days pursuit.
On the side Of the Spanish troops
only one guide was killed.
The success of the Spanish troops
has been telegraphed to all the Span
ish commanders and it is believed it
will greatly encourage them in their
operations against the rebels. Cap
tain General Martinez de Campos has
been kept thoroughly posted regard
ing all the movements of the troops
and he is understood to have sent a
message of congratulation to General
Salcedo. It is also believed that Cen
eral Salcedo will be decorated as a re-
ward for his victory.
