the successes of the revolutionists are
manufactured.
II cannot even tell you the cause of
the revolution" he said to me this af-
ternoon. II propose to cable to my
Government asking that l be Informed
of the progress of events, but at pres
ent 1 am officially ignorant. When
President Andrade started for the
front. several days ago, he very prob
ably took with him a large force, and
l would like to know where he was
during the fighting. 1 can hardly be-
lieve that the insurgents, without or
ganization or equipment, could be as
successful as the press dispatches in

I'm the great revolution of 1892 the
insurgent forces fought for year be-
fore they captured Caracas, and when
they entered the capital they had only
a small force of II, 900 men. The rea-
son why the Government has such a
small army is because it is Impossible

that the information 1 shall receive

am confident it will show that the
Government forces have been vic

ADVlCES INDICATE
SPREAD OF REVOLUTION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Informa-
ton received at the State Department
to-day from Mr.. Russell, the American
Charge d d'Affaires at Caracas, indicates
that the. revolution in Venezuela is
spreading. According to the depart
ment's information, the insurgents
have captured Valencia and the sea-
mort of Puerto Cabello, and no surprise
would be manifested if information
should be received indicating that the
country to the west of Valencia is in
possession of the insurgents.
Mr.. Russell indicated that Warshlps
were desirable. The dispatch was re-
ferred to the Navy Department, and
Acting Secretary Allen notified the
State Department that if it desired an
other ship ordered to Venezuelan
waters he would send instructions to
the gunboat Nashville, now at Gibara.
1t is thought that the Detroit, which is
hourly expected at La Guayra, will be
sufficient to look out for American in
terests. When | saw Senor Pulldo,
Charge d'Affaires of the Venezuelan le-
cation here he told me he had received
absolutely no advices from his Govern

ESCAPED PRISONER Is
FINALLY RETAKEN
Rev. Mr.. Howard Considered by Pos
tai Authorities CIeverest Con-
fldence Man in the World

WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-An ac-
complished sWindler, shrewd confidence
man and a fugitive from justice for
years, Rev. Dr. G. T. Howard, was cap
tured to-day by Postoffice Inspectors

O., to serve out the uneXpired term Of
his sentence in the Ohio Penitentiary
Howard escaped from the penitentiary
about two years ago, after having
served three years of a nine years SEN
tence for using the United States mails
for fraudulent purposes. He is a doctor
of divinity and a lawyer and was the
editor of two or three religious publi-
cations. At his first trial witnesses
were subpenaed from all parts of this
country and Europe, among them being
Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, Minister to
Great Britain, and Hon, ]. e. New,
Consul General to London. The jury
disagreed and he was convicted on his
second hearing.
By sending broadcast over this coun-
try circulars representing that the re-
cipients were heirs to estates in various
places in Europe, Howard, under the
name of E. Ross, manager of the Eu-
ropean Claims Agency, obtained re-
mittances of $25 from many of his vic
tins on the preteXt that he would prose-
cute their claims to the estates He
operated all over the world. His scheme
netted him thousands of dollars. Since
his escape from the Denitentiary he
has been operating in the West, his
victims principally residing in Great
Britain. He is regarded by the postal
authorities as one of the most danger

900 strong, and detaehments of the
army service corps and ordnance
corps, sailed on the steamer Gaul at 2
p. IN. to-day from Southampton Ell
route to Natal, amid great enthusiasm.
The men appeared TO be in splendid
condition and openly anxious for fight
ing. The Fusiliers went direct from
Aldershot. but many of the officers of
that regiment and numbers of special
service officers started from London,
receiving at Waterloo station an en-
thusiastic send-off from the large
crowd present. The porters cried ''AIl
aboard for Pretoria" which was taken
up by the crowd uproariously.
General Sir George Stewart White,
V. c., former quartermaster general
who is going to command the troops in
Natal, sails with his staff on the Tantal
Castle from Plymouth. He left Lon
don subsequently to the main body Of
officers. Though General White tried to
keep private the hour of his. departure
from oLndon, a large crowd was pres
ent and gave him an ovation.

commander of the British cruiser I'm
mOrtalite, at Manila, is among the Of
lCtIS dCtOII Ddlly lJS btIlti dl w Illtc.
He is going to Cape Town to command
the second class cruiser Doris, flagship
of Admiral Harris. Captain Chichester
said to a reporter: This is my first
march. 1t is difficult to say which way
events will turn. Ny work is among
the hewers of wood and drawers of
water. ] am to hustle between Cape
Town and DelagOa Bay, the prospec
tive seat of war, in the Doris, with pro-

look back with vast pleasure at my old
American comrades, but am off to q
different scene of action. l am sorry
l cannot see the reception to Admiral
Dewey or join in welcoming such a
typical navy man. Admiral Dewey is
off to peace, while 1 fear 1 am off into
the thick of war. The scenes have
changed, that is all. Goodby."
The crowd cheered Justify as the
train pulled out, and pressed around
the cars in order to get a handshake
with General White.

When the Irving got to White Horse
the mounted police were notified and a

ricochetted between the Charleston's
masts The Charleston kept throwing
in eight-inch shells with great accur-
acy and soon destroyed the earth
works around the gun. which the cap
tain of the cruiser believed had been
dismounted.
Then the Charleston steamed closer
in shore and got within 5000 yards of
the earthWorks. The insurgents at
once began firing again, and some of
the shells fell very close to the cruiser.
Both ships then withdrew, the Zafiro
returning to Manila, while the Charles

The Filipino fire was remarkably ac-
curate, and the gun was probably not
handled by native, gunners. Black
powder was used and six or nine inch
Spanish shells fired. The Charleston
fired sixty-nine shells.

blew open the safe of the Exchange
Bank at Frankfort, a small village
fifty miles east of Joliet, early this
morning and carried away nearly $4,000

while one man stood guard over him
Then the bank was broken into and
work began on the safe. Three ex-

were ordered not to make an outcry or
strike light under penalty of death.

 There is a good deal of uneasiness eX- pressed these evenings at the armory. The companies have now been home from camp a month and as yet no mon- ey has arrived. The state, they say, isexpected tomal1e suitable remittances within ten days after the return. This year the payroll ia not even yet cor rected. The money due is considerable, as the rates of pay range from $9 per week to $75. The companies are going to New York next Friday and would very much like to have some of the money to spend there. They are afraid that it will not be sent till their return in which case it would all have to be spent in New Haven
