THE REVOLT IN VENEZUELA.
HcrnandeZ's Futile Efforts to OBJ
tain Respectable Following.

New York, March Further news
reached here today of the recent attempts
by Manuel Hernandez, one of the candi
dates for president at the last election in
Venezuela, to stir up n revolt IN that
country. After his defeat by General Ig
natio Andrade, Hernandez accused the
latter of obtaining the presidency Illegal
ly. He appealed 10 the supreme court of
Venezuela, but that tribunal decided that
Andrade was entitled to the office. Her
nandez thereupon set ont TO stir up a re-
volt against President Crespo, the retir-
ing president in order to prevent the
seating of Andrade. lie is reported to
have travelled all over Venezuela in his
effort to gain folio yers. but so far the re-
volt appears to be of small proportions.
Hernandez was carpenter, but became
a general in the revolution which made
Crespo president. Crs5po appointed him
to number of Offices Differences soon
arose between them, and Hernandez was
forced to leave Caracas in 1894. He came
to New York and published several fiery
pamphlets against Crespo year ago
when President C'raspo granted amnesty
TO all political exiles on the occasion Of
the birthday of the emancipator Mona
gas, Hernandez returned to Venezuela.
He is fifty-three years old and Il man of
limited education.

Unbearabie Aggression.
Ottawa, March THE passage of the
Frye bill in the United States Senate
was the subject of heated debate in
the Canadian Commons today
Attention having been called to section
l3 of that bin. Sir Charles Tupper asked
if the government, in view of the eX-
traordinary proceedings at Washington
intended to proceed with its Yukon rail-
road proposals. He then in the strong
est terms animadverted upon the action
of the Senate, which he characterized as
unbearable aggression.
The premier declared that it was not
the intention of his government to yield
any of the concessions demanded by the
United States Senate. He said that by
the treaty of Washington free nayiga-
ton of the Stickeen was assured to Can
ada and any law passed by the Ameri-
can Government which would render
nugatory the rights under that treaty
was ultra vires and would be so held in
the United States courts.
He said that if the difficulties at
Wrangel became insurmountable the
government would construct a railroad
from an ocean port in British Columbia
to connect with the Stickeeu route The
trade of the Klondike belonged to Can
ada and he proposed TO keep and main
tain il for Canadians. But if the sug-
gestions of Sir Charles Tupner were
adopted that trade would be given over
to the Pacific Coast cities of the Cnited
States

at League Island today.

hurry up the work so as to get the yes

The MiantonOmoh is ready for service.
1t was said al the yard that the monitor,
which is intended for the defense of the
port of Philadelphia, will be the last ves-
sci to leave. Work on the Columbia is to
be pushed with all possible haste. The
cruisers are to be ready for service by
March 10.

selves for enlistment.

war as Mr.. Hanna could not object to
bluff appropriation that would remove
war even further from the possibilities.
There are several circumstances beside
those already suggested that seem 10 ut
INTO this explanation and into no other
lar. Cannon, Chairman of the House APP
propriations Committee. was called with
Mr.. Grosvenor, to the White House last
night and had a long talk with the Pres
ident. When they left the White House
they had no intimation whatever that such
an emergency appropriation would be SIX
ed for by the President within twelve
hours after
Mr.. Cannon talked freely with a report
er for The Times. de said: Il will be
frank with YOU If ] had anything /
would not give it to you. But / viii be
equally frank again and tell you that we
did not talk OF appropriations for war in
any way; that the subject did not come
up
There Is certainly strong probability
that MIR. Cannon would have been con-
suited on such an important a measure
ST the President had been intending it in
good faith AT that time.
Spain May Force a Fight.
The probability that Spain will force
this country TO fight and give it chance
TO win back its honor. however. is believ-
ed by many to be gaining in more than an
inverse ratio TO the determination OF the
Administration to keep out of war. Spain
Is arming herself more rapidly than the
United States. The dispatch printed in
The Times on Saturday stating that S40.-
1o0G90 has been borrowed by the nearly
bankrupt monarchy has been confirmed
wholly and in a manner that leaves no
question of doubt.
The Spanards as a whole have no con-
Ception Of the resources Of America, and
knowing that Spain's navy at the present
time is very nearly if not quite as strong
as that Of this country, and seeing that
the appropriation made here is only a
little larger than the loan made there,

feet in frightening them. it is thought
They are boiling for war. The govern
ment is afraid of them, and any estimate
Of how much could hardly be overdrawn.
The form Of the Administration back
down from the intention TO send the sup
plies to Cuba in Warships is peculiarly IN
fortunate as peace measure, although
undoubtedly il was intended such
with great good faith. The warship goes
10 Havana instead of Matanzas ana Sa-
qua. The populace OF Havana is in a
much more feyerish condition than at any
time since the blowing up of the Maine.
There are two finea Spanish warships in
the harbor. and they have filled the popu-
lace with the intoXication OF patriotism
and hatred for America and everything
American. The Montgomery may follow
the Maine. Indeed. the chances that this

Mr.. Hale Talks.

As soon as the bill is passed by the
House and sent over to the Senate Mr.
Hale viii call it UP and see that it is
put through that body in short order
Discussing this measure, Mr.. Hale said
that it was tit and appropriate that Con-
gress should make a deficiency appro-
priation in anticipation of any expendi-
ture the President might make. Con-
gress had been accused by some of hold
ing back and declining TO give the Pres
ident that aid and assistance which
these critics contended the situation jus
tified. The passage of such bill would
disaTm these critics and show the world
that Congress was in thorough sympathy
with the President and would indorse
anything he might suggest. Under this
law, said Mr.. Hale, the President could
contract for coal. powder. projectiles
guns. anything in short in the way of
material for the national forces.
How about the purchase of ships Of
war particularly" Mr.. Hale was asked
Il do not know whether the Presi-
dent is contemplating such action
or not. evasively replied Senator
Hale. but if he is or If the situation
is such that he may think 1t
necessary. under this bill he will
have ample authority and if he
few torpedo boats or something of that
sort. il Will simply obviate the necessity
Of the United States building quite so
many as We might otherwise have built.
I assume that from year to year we
would have increased the naval estab-
hshment, and If the President deems It
best TO purchase a few vessels it will
relieve US from the necessity of build
ing them in the immediate future"
1t Is very evident from the way in
which Mr.. Hale and other members of
that conference talk that this subject Of
purchasing ships of war on which the
United States already has options was
one of the most important features of
this conference and that it was the de-
sire of the President TO have the au-
thority TO nay spot cash that induced
him 70 urge uDon these chairmen the
immediate passage of this bill. II is
more than probable that this measure
will become a law within the next forty
eight hours. and there will then be put
in the hands of the President such au-
thority to draw upon the available cash
balance in the Treasury as will enable
him TO meet any emergency that may
arise within the next few weeks
1t Is claimed by many that up TO this
point Spain has looked with equanimity
upon our moderate war-like aDpropriu-
tons as something in the nature Of "a
! blum, but that this will indicate TO her
! the serious view now being taken of the
! situation and force her to realize that
| she must contend with a nation. not only
