AEainAt Each Other.

PHILADELPHIA, November flank
ious to retrieve their crushing defat of last
year. when the Carlisle Indians won by the
score of 10 to 8, the red and blue Of Penn
sylvania this afternoon met their former
victors on Franklin Field gridiron. The
greatest interest was manifested in the
struggle. as the Pennsylvania eleven has
been working hard to turn their former
defeat into decisive victory and the red
skins from the government school entered
the contest with the grim determination
characteristic of their race, to again carry
off the laurelS.
The Indians came on the field slightly
handicapped today as result of the train
wreck they were in last night, which ne
cessitated their return to Carlisle. They
left there early this morning and reached
this city shortly after noon, leaving but a
short time in which to recover from the
fatigue of their journey before they donned
the foot ball clothes.
Pennsylvania, on the other hand, has had
the advantage of a good rest and entered
the battle fresh The day opened raw and
with lowering clouds, through which the
sun broke at intervals. Despite the I'M
favorable weather conditions the big stands
were comfortably filled when the referees
whistle put the ball in action.

AMERICAN LEGATION RUINED.
Details Received of the Recent Earth
quake In Venezuela

Senior Pulido, Venezuelan charge daft
flares. has received details of the recent
disastrous earthquakes which visited Cara
cas-. Some 300 buildings collapsed, the
tower Of the university and several spires
OF churches fell, and the government build
ings were more or less injured. Most of
the people are now living in tents The
American legation was considerably shaken
up and injured beyond repair, and the
American charge d'affaires, Mr.. Russell, Is
temporarily established in a summer house.
President Castro was in the Yellow House,
corresponding with our White House, at the
time Of the disturbance. and jumped from
a front window. injuring an ankle and sus-
tanning shock. But the Department of
State advises Mr.. Pulido that on November
3, four days after the calamity, the presi-
dent had practically recovered.
The towns around Caracas also suffered
severely. some Of them being almost de-
stroyed. The cause Of the earthquake is
attributed in Venezuela to volcanic action
on the Island Of St. Vincent, in the West
Indies. The seismic disturbance continued
for several days after the main shock and
caused great terror among the people.
