COVE TO FIGHT AEDRADE.
Gen. velutini Leaves Hero with Arms 70,
Party of 800.

About a month ago Gen. Jose Antonio Velu-
tint, President OF the Venezuelan Congress.
came to this city ACCOMPANIED by his daughter
and son. He engaged suite OF rooms in
Fifty eighth street. near Lexington avenue
and received but few callers. The ostsnsible
object OF Gen. Velutini's visit here was to con-
suit a physician in regard to his daughter.
Last Saturday. without any previous notice to
his friends. he left with his son for Trinidad.
W. |. Yesterday one OF his acquaintanees
told the cause Of the Generals sudden de-
parture and the real reason for his leaving
Caracas.
Gen. Veutini. up to the time he left Venezu-
ella was n man Of influence. He owned large
estate in his native State. Barcelona. and dur
ing the administration OF President Crespo
was the latter's advisor on all questions OF i'm
portauce He also enjoyed the personal friend
ship OF the present incumbent Gen. Ignaco
Andrade The latter had bill presented in Con-
gress providing for tho division OF certain
States. which was unconstitutional and which
is the cause Of the revolution now in progress
against the Government. Gen. Nelatini pleaded
with the President to withdraw the measure.
but he refused. whereupon the General in no
uncertain terms said that he would not be
party to any unconstitutional act. and left the
country.
When Gen. velutni arrived here a'cabfe des-
patch flon President Andrade awaited him.
1t said that the circumstances under which he
had lett Venezuela led him to believe that Gen.
Nelutini was in league with the enemies OF the
Government and that he could consider himself
an exile. simultaneously with this announce
ment came the news OF the arrest in Caracas OF
Gen Veltnei's friends. This SO incensed the
General that he Immediately put himself into
communication with the revolutionary iunta
at Curacao, which authorized him to purchase
all necessary arms and ammunition for an ex-
petition and go when ready TO Trinidad. where
preparations will be made for him to lead illl-
clustering party in the eastern part OF Nene-
Zuela.
Con. Nelutini bought 800 rifles. 10000 cart
ridges and other essential war implements.
When he reaches Trinidad. probably next Fri
day. he will take command Of the expedition
and enter the field against his former friend.
President Andrade. Gen. Nelutini is well
known in that part OF the country in which he
will fight the government forces and his acqu-
siton will help the re bells greatly

BELGI4Ns FOR THE Beers.
A Sentiment which Has Awakened the
Gratitude of the Dutch.


BRUSSELS Oct. 1.-The Petit Ble,t. In COM
menting on the Transvaal trouble. says Eng
land has decided to use every barnarous
weapon against the Beers. including aerial
dynamite and dunn dun bullets. which were
condemned by the International Peace Con-
ference. Nothing will he wanting in abomina-
tion. it says. in this coming race war.
The defence OF the Beers by the Belgian
press against the tyranny OF England has done
more to wipe out the ill-feeiing between the
Dutch and the Belgians than anything that
has happened since the revolution of 1890
when Belgium separated from The Neither
lands. The tone Of the Belgian and Dutch
newspapers toward England is extremely
severe.
The Etoile Beige says it is remarkable that.
despite the wiss resolutions adopted by the
Peace Conference, no power has ever at
tempted to propose mediation or arbitration
between Great Britain and the Transyaal.

a settlement to the bad influences sur

Council and the Volksraad He declared
that the burghers Of the Orange Free State
were by no means unanimous in support Of

there would be a rush OF these burGhers across
the Orange River into British territory to es-
cape fighting.
Mr. Robinson said that the lighting strength
OF the Transvaal was grossly exaggerated.
Speaking from intimate knowledge OF tho
country he estimated tho total force. including
the friendly Uitlanders. at $1,000 men. while
the Orange Free State could put only
1000 men in the field. In conclusion
Mr. Robinson declared that the real the only.

Great Britain would agree never again to in
