NEW YORK, Sept. "a dispatch to
the Herald, from Port Of Spain, Trini-
dad. says: A private dispatch from
Caracas reports that President An.
drade has left the Venezuelan capital,
and IS believed to have gone TO Porto
Rico or New York. The report IS cred
tied here, but all efforts to secure con-
tirmation have proven futile.
General Castro's insurgents are
known to be within i've miles of Cara

mander-in-chief of the government
forces. has only 900 troops with which
to defend the approaches from castro's
assaults.
Refugees in large numbers are arrlv-

CONSERVATION prevails at Caracas. The

General Domingo Monages, who has
great prestige in Barcelona province,

soldiers declared in favor of the revolu-
tlon, and are marching to form juno

TREND OF TRADE.

Tho Volume of Business in the Coun-
try Continues to sweIl-BIg Boom in
Iron-Grnin Trade.
NEW YORK. Sept. 29.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
September is the twelfth consecutive
month in which the volume OF business.
both at New York and outside New
York has been greater than in the
same month of any previous year. In
these twelve months payments through
the clearing houses have been $sa,6OO,OoO,-
600, against So, 200, 100000 in the twelve
months ending with September. 1892, nm
Increase Of $2S, 400 600 OOO, lover 4sper cent.
When the tremendous expansion began
men called It replenIshment Of long
depleted stocks; then for time It was
called a crazy outburst OF speculation,
and when demand still expanded, some
permanent increase of business was
recognized as a result of increased pop
ulation earning better wages, But the
demand still grows, now ranging about
60 per cent greater than in 1892, while
population according to treasury esti-
mates is l6 per cent greater and wages
are not over 10 per cent greater. a
reconstruction Of business and irG'us-
tries, OF producing and transporting
forces, is In progress through the land
with results which none can now meas
ure.
Iron consumption instead OF 100000
tons per month in 1892 Is now over
/ 200, 900 tons per month and yet is so
far behind the demand for products
than the capacity OF most works is
sold far on into next year. With sales
OF 10000 tons at Pittsburgh, Bessemer
pig rose to S23 so. Chicago coke and
southern pig ngRin rose 81 and new
furnaces nre ROtd mnny months ahead
before they begin work. Bars are hard
to get at any prices, the whole output
of the Republic company being sold to
January and Sc rs Is quoted for common
at Pittsburgh, while at Chicago the
grent demand for cur building falls on
works overcrOwded. Contracts for 5000
tons OF plates have been placed Pitts
burgh, and at hll points the price Is ris-
ing with astonishing demand. Sheets
are also higher with the demand inten-
siHed by renewed efforts for cohsolida-
tion.
The wool market is active, with
general advance averaging about 4isc
on washed fleece comblng and some
unwashed: the entire list quoted by
Coates Bros, probably averages about
Ac higher.

To Correspondent of the London
Times-says It is Within EnGlRnd's
Power to Preserve Peace.
LONDON, Sept. pa dispatch to the
Times from Pretoria says; ut is gem
orally expected that a state of war will
be proclaimed at any moment. Presi-
dent Kruger granted me an interview
to-day and declared he had done all
possible for the sake of peace. He had
accepted Mr.. Chamberlain's own offer
Of n common inquiry, but Mr., Chamber
lain deliberately broke the thread OF the
negotiations, troops were massed on
all sides and war was forced upon him.
It was impossible to Rccede to the dis
patch OF the 18th. Such course would
have given the land OF the people into
the hands of strangers. Asitwas, his sew

the field cornet's book, enfranchise 5O,-
900 persons, which was more than the
whole number Of the old burghers, yet
not one has come forward to take 1t.
The Outlanders never really wanted the
franchise. From the first they refused
TO 70 on the commanders and registered
themselves as aliens. Afterwards Lord
Loeb secured exemption Tor them on
the same terms as the Portuguese. He
wished to Indignantly deny Mr.. Cham
berlnins charge that he had broken his
promise made during the discussion
preceding the Pretoria convention OF
1851, that he would treat new lmmi-
grants equally with the old burghers.
He had always been ready TO treat
them so and they had always refused.
In conclusion, asked II there was
still n possibility OF peace.
"'No he replied. adding after n
pause, unless the other side viii do
something to make peace possible
The correspondent adds that perhaps
II Is worth pointing out that the COM
