TO AVERT COMMANDMENT.
Instructions Are Sent to Minister
LOOmis mt Caracas.

WASHINGTON, Nov. n-United States
Minister LOOMS has advised the State De-
partment of the impending bombardment of
General Parade's forces in Puerto Cabello
by the forces of General Castro. The min
lister has evidently looked TO the department
for instructions. and these are to go forward
at once. If it shall appear that the bonn
bardment can be conducted without immi-
nent danger TO life and property of foreign
ers and innocent people in Puerto Cabello,
the minister will not interfere in any way.
On the other hand, there probably will be
no objection to his endeavoring to avert the
bombardment through peaceful representa-
tons directed TO the combatants Mean
while the Detroit has arrived at Puerto
Cabello from La Guayra, and Commander
Hemphill will act in accord with the in
structions which have been given to Min
lister Lcomis.

MR.. HOBART is BETTER.
He IL Able to Take Considerable Solid
NOurishment.

PATERSON, n. j., Nov. 11.-Vice Presi-
dent Hobart spent a quiet and comparative
ly easy day. He was able to eat three
meals, consisting largely of solid food, and
his friends are greatly encouraged in con-
sequence.
The friends of the Vice President here
in Paterson and his most intimate political
associates deny the story that he has ex-
pressed desire to have Attorney General
Griggs succeed him as Vice President. They
say that Mr. Hobart, having formally with
drawn from politics, is not willing 10 give
out any expression whatever regarding the
vice presidential situation. They say that
while Mr.. Hobart is friendly with Griggs,
and would not object to seeing him nomi-
he is also friendly with other prominent
men whose names have been mentioned in
this connection.

showing the hardships and difficulties en-
countered by our troops in their advance
and giving a captured insurgent dispatch.
showing the line of argument put forward
to sustain the instruction. The dispatches
are as follows:
Severe typhoons over Panay last two
days impeded the march of General
Hughes's troops; his column is several
have abandoned strong derences in that
section.
"Lawton pushing his troops through on
the Lupadimgan and San Quentin ROAD.
The country IS submerged. bridges and re-
cently-constructed RATS are washed away
and wheel transportation cannot move. his
reliance is on cavalry, a few intantrymen
and native scouts, who are living mostly
on the country. Macarthur commenced his
advance early this morning. Yesterday two

the Malatong and Conception road, struck
battalion OF the enemy aaiXy NH which "a ieft
ties reported three wounded"
"A number of insurgent official dispatches
were captured yesterday by General
Young's troops in the north and forwarded
by Lawton last night. They indicate a dl-
rected abandonment by the enemy Of the
San Jose. and hurried movements by way
of laying, over mountains to BayomDonS,
thence on to Apirra. Among the dispatches
is the following:
'TARLAC, Nov. 5.-Otis did not &C

our outposts because Otis promised Mckin-

SHOT BY HIS OWN CORPORAL.
Marine on Duty In Samoa Killed by
His C0mFade.

A special to the New York World from
San Francisco yesterday says: According
to statement made by a member of the
marine guard that was stationed at the
United States consulate at Apia during the
recent hostilities in Samoa, Private Holla-
way of the marines was not killed by Sa-
moan, but was the victim of an American
bullet sent from gun in the hands of one
of his own comrades.
Hollaways life, 1t is asserted, never
would have been sacrificed had it not been
for the actions of the commander of the
guard, Lieut.. c. Morrast Perkins, who
without justification, constantly informed
the men that they were in imminent dan
ger of humiliation.
He caused them repeatedly to fire in the
dead OF night at an imaginary foe and had
them worked up to such a tension that
their guns were continually popping, and
at nothing, as the hostile Samoans kept at
safe distance. OF the death of Holloway
the marine says:
"On a dark. rainy night Holloway was
on guard, leaning against the front steps,
with his waterproof coat wrapped around
him. At 1880 o'clock one Of the corporals
obtained permission to go under the house
with light to search for the enemy, who,
he declared, were hiding there. After a
very exhaustive search with a revolver at
full cock one hand and a lantern in the
other, he returned to the veranda reported
that he could find no one and resumed his
station. Suddenly. after short time he
jumped up, calling out, There they arev
and began to fire out across the front YER
anda. Several others near him heard Hol-
laWay cry, oh, my Cod! and saw him
fall"
1t is said that the marines were not well
handled, and they and the officers in COM
mand were censured when they returned to
the ship.

ANIMALS THAT COUNT.
Instances Collected which Go to
Prove That They Can.

Most people have seen performing animals
In circuses and music halls who are appar-
emily accomplished mathematicians. Per-
tormances of this sort, however, are of little
scientific value owing to the large element
or trickery generally involved in them A
secret sign from the impresario to the ami
NAL frequently proves the sole explanation
of its apparent cleverness
DIR. Timofeff is a Russian doctor who has
made exhaustive experiments in animal in
telligence. Parrots he saws, can count ND
to four, and he has extended these invests
cations to other birds dogs, cats and horses
He concluded that crows can count I'D to
ten, hogs to twenty-four. cats only to six
but horses carry off the palm as calcu-
lators.
In a country village DR.. Timofieff studied
a horse belonging to a peasant and found
that the horse always stopped at the end
or the twentieth furrow. IL did not stop
when tired, bat only after every twenty
burrows. 1t was so exact about this that
its master reckoned the number of burrows
he had made by the number of times that
the horse halted. The animal counted for
the man. One day the physician was going
to Naldai, when at the twenty-second verst
one of the horses hitched to the troika "a
three-horsed carriage) stopped suddenly
The driver got down from his seat, gave
some provender to the horse and drove on
This horse had been trained by its mas
ter when very young to get food at every
twenty-five versts. There could be no doubt
that the horse kept count by the posts
along the road. Ii had made a mistake this
time of three versts. but Il was not its
fault. Along the road there were three
other posts besides the telegraph posts
which looked very much like them Hence
the error of three versts.
The same horse was accustomed TO get
its food in a stable near which the town
clock rung at noon. DIR. Timofieff saw the
horse prick up its ears and listen but
droop its head dissatisfied when less than
twelve strokes sounded. On the contrary,
1t manifested all kinds of satisfaction when
1t heard the twelfth stroke of the bell,
neighing for it's provender.

GORMAN'S PROXY TALKS,
Col. Baughman Opposed to Making
Silver the Leading Issue.

According to a dispatch from Chicago,
Col. L. Victor Baughman of Frederick Nd,
was the first CT the eastern politicians to
arrive in Chicago yesterday for the meeting
Of the denrocratic national committee Col
Baughman is the political representative of
Senator Arthur P. German and holds his
proxy as national committeeman In an
interview last night he said:
AS to Senator Germans views on silver
and his attitude toward the last democratic
platform, 1 would say that the senator is
man who never hesitates to express his own
views upon all great public questions, and
while he may have taken issue with his
friends in the last campaign and thought it
unwise to force such issues on the party,
he was at least loyal to the nominee of the
party and carried out the teachings of de-
mocracy by rendering his aid and support
to the ticket
Frankly will say that 1 do not think
silver Is the most important issue. That
great question was submitted for arbitra-
ton before the American people and decided
adversely. At this time / am unable to see
the necessity of again demanding that it
should be the leading issue. There are more
momentous questions to consider-questions
of government policy in which the people
are deeply interested at this time.
1.-The growth of illegal trusts and mo-
nopolieS must be checked without interior
ing with legitimate investments of capital.
While labor should be protected, we cannot
deprive labor of the aid and assistance Of
capital. This should be the time for con-
sentative men to show their interest in try
ing to harmonic the conflicting elements in
the councils of the party. 1t is no time for
recriminations. 1t would be best to let the
dead past bury its dead and realize the de-
mands Of the great fight before US.
When asked If Senator German was
candidate for the presidency, he said that
was too far away for present consideration,
but that it could never be told what might
develop in year.
