Troops VIII Be Sent There at Once
A Traitors Death Awaits the Revo1u-
tionists.
New York, January 9.-The World this
morning prints the following under a
Caracas, Ven., date line: News of great
Importance has just been received from
the Guayana frontier.
The government is notified that troops
with rife and cannon, from Demarara,
have arrived at Cuyuni, station at the
extreme limit of the English claims in
the disputed territory, and the scene of
the Yuruah incident. where English
officials were arrested by Venezuelans.
The number OF the invaders is uncer-
tain. Some of the papers say there arc
over one thousand, but that is probably
an exaggeration. There are possibly a
few hundred Guiana police
The government gives no official notice
rs to what action 1t will take 1t Is
probable, however, that it will send some
troops to the scene with orders to be
cautious, but at the same time to resist
invasion.
The reception given to American resi-
dents at the Union League tonight was
the grandest in it's history. The enthu-
siasm is unabated. There is joy here
over the English defeat in the Transvaal
Caracas was shaken by an earthquake
last night. The shock was of considerable
duration. but no serious damage is re-
ported.
President Crespo has isued a remark
able decree officially recognizing the ex-
istence of a revolutionary movement. He
says that in view of the fact that the
country is on the verge of an information
al conflict, he regards it, not as revolu-
tion, but as treason. Then he cites the
section of the penal code defining treason.
He asks the presidents of the different
states to ratify his action and he will also
ask Congress to act.
1t is believed that Crespo's decree is
aimed especially ct Gutman Bllanco or
Rojas Pau, who are supposed TO be treat
ing with England in the interest of the
rebellion. The penal code says that any
Venezuelan conniving with a foreign
government against the independence,
the institution or the sovereignty of the
republic is guilty of treason.
1t is rumored that the leaders of the re-
bellion will be executed, as the decree
asks for authority to infiict the. death
penalty, which is forbidden in Venezuela
except in time of war or on occasion of
imminent peril.
Rojas Paul is at present on the Eng<
lish island of Trinidad. There was a big
anti-English meeting here January 4.

spain's War.

Madrid, January 9.-At cabinet coun.
Gil today it was decided not to accept the
resignation of Captain Genearl Campos.
1t was resolved to increase the military
and naavl forces in Cuba.
1t appears from the tenor of the first
part of the above that Gen. Campos had
rendered his resignation. AT a recent
demonstration in Havana, Gen. Campos
announced he would not resign in the
face Of the enemy. 1t is therefore sur
missed he had not actually resigned, but
that the council predetermined not to
accept his resignation should he decide
on retiring.

RALPH BEAUMONT SPEAKS.
He Crowds Market Square With Interested
Listeners.

Ralph Beaumont, of Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma, addressed large audience
on Market square last Saturday even
ing. Mr.. Beaumont was for years the
Washington correspondent of the
Knights of Labor and is one of the
most prominent of the national couD-
sellers of the peoples party. A. A.
Worsley was to have spoken also, but
did not show up.
Mr.. Beaumont held the large. crowd
for over two hours, and the frequent
applause which interrupted his dis
course showed that his funnyisms were
appreciated. He brought out the
platforms of the republican party for a
number of years back to show that it
had always heretofore declared more
or less unequivocally for free silver.
He also touched upon the tariff ques-
ton and told how matters had changed
down in the great protected state Of
Pennsylvania which gives the republi-
can party $4,000 majority regularly
every election. He remembered twenty
years ago of being among the miners of
that state and found them making
from So to 81 per day, and other work
men in similar industries receiving
from 81 to $3.50. Then the miners and
workmen were happy, were sending
their offspring to the schools to receive
an education, and were generally what
might be classed as the average citi-
zen.
Recently, said the speaker, l was
down in that great state which under
every tariff law has received more pro-
lection than any other state in the
union, and what do you suppose l
found l found that the American
workman had been banished from all
the great protected industries and for
eigners who were, in most instances,
unable to speak the English language,
substituted in his stead, and doing the
same work for ST and $1.25 per day.
These men now working in these in
dustries are not known by name
their bosses being unable to pronounce
them-but instead a tag is placed up
on each bearing a number and the cat
tie are called like SO many dogs This,
he commended. was what protection was
doing for the laborer. 1t was protect
ing the manufacturer and labor was
coming in by the cargoes free to COM
pete with our workmen. The majority
of the manufacturers receiving the pro-
lection live in the old countries two
thirds of their time

Three Boys Narrowly Escape Being Drown
ed in the Lake

The sail boat which capsized a mile
southeast of the harbor piers about
$3.50 o'clock Saturday afternoon, was
the Ala Bahia Coon, of Kenosha, and
contained Ernest LANCER, William
Shelly and Samuel Kruger, three Keno
sha boys. They were bound from
Kenosha to Racine. A squat struck
and turned the boat over. By the
merest chance the three happened to
catch hold of the sides Of the boat to
which they chung until the Racine Life
Saving crew manned the surf boat and
went out and rescued them. They
were brought into the station and half
a thousand people had assembled. The
three we're badly chilled and about
ready to topple over. Dry clothing
was furnished them and they went
home in the evening. The life savers
went out and brought in the boat.
They found two hundred pound rocks
attached to a rope probably intended
for anchors. The greatest wonder is
that one or all did not lose their lives.
