Is QUIET.
III. w. Beam Discusses the Situation
i'm VeneHueIa-Martial Law.

NEW YORK, Aug. N.-Henry Willar
Beam, counsel for one Of the asphalt COM
panies, arrived to-day on the steamer Mar
acaibo from Venezuela. Mr.. Beam said:
Caracas is quiet. Everything Is proceed
ing as usual. The guarantees of the Con-
stitution have, however, been suspended on
account of the invasion of Venezuelan soil.
according to information received by Pres
ident Castro to that effect. War bulletins
are issued at frequent intervals. Gen. Cas-
trio In an interview on Aug. 10 told me that
he had a force of 10000 men at Cristobal
commanded by his brother, Celestino Cas-
tro. and that he had 10, O0O other troops in
the three border states. He said hat no
option was left to him In the matter; that
he must protect Venezuela. Martial law
exists in the states of Merida, Trujillo and
Tachira.
81 am not aware that DIR. Rico, the Co.
lombian minister, in leaving the legation in
the hands of the American charge
his passports. L know, however, that he
felt II was impossible for him to remain
longer and he went with the purpose of
communicating with his government. Gen.
Pulido, the ex-minister OF war who was re-
placed by General Guerra in the early part
of August, left the Cabinet because he
could not approve of the war with Colom-
bia. My source of as to the re-
ported invasion is the statement
made by General Castro as above. The i'm
preston | received from my interview with
President Castro was that he was fully de-
termined to continue administering the
affairs Of Venezuela along the aggressive
lines indicated by his recent actions"
Copies of President Castro's official or
gan, published at Caracas, which were
brought here on the Maracaibo to-day, con-
tain "a proclamation from the President in
which he calls the Venezuelan patriots to
rejoice as cur flag streams in triumph
over he Colombian frontier-the enemy
has ~fed-victory is ours. On the field of
battle fell 500 bodies of the rebels. their
artillery abandoned, many taken prisoners
and their banners torn"
This proclamation was issued after the
battle of San Cristobal and is dated Aug.
3. OF the same date and at the same place
tSan CristobaD another proclamation is
sued by Gen. Celestino Castro reads in
part: Gen. Gonzalez Valencia has re-
turned to invade US by the way of San
Fostina, probably, although he has con-
cealed his movement as much as possible.
Thinking that possibly his advance might
he on Colon (Tachira) l ave orders to Gen.
Ruben Cardenas in order that with his bat
talon he might meet the enemy at La
Cumbre, where l judge the enemy would
have made their advance. In reality since
midnight there was an assault and we have
resisted the enemy. l take all means 10
drive back the enemy with all the patriot
ism and energy of our characters. But In
every case you must hope that We will full
fill our duty"

MISLEADING AND UNFAIR STATE
MENT.

A statement repeated quite frequently Of
late is that with over a million names on
tho pension roll there were more pension
ers than there were soldiers in the Union
army at any one time" thus giving the
impression that there are now more PEN
sioners than there were men in the North
ern armies. Even this statement is not
true. since the largest number of men in
the army at one time was on May 1, 1865
LOCO ,5l6-and the number of pensioners

Of official record that 2,S9S, 34 men were
furnished for the war. Men whose study
of this subject has made them authorities
estimate that 10000 names show on the
muster rolls more than once, so that not

men were mustered into the United States

but every one of whom should be pen
stoned when sixty-two years OF age. be-
cause all those who served in the Mexican
war, by an act approved by President
Cleveland, were pensioned, even IL they
never saw Mexico.
The pension system as ii now stands is
exceedingly liberal, as the large expendi-
ture shows. No nation ever did more
than give a small pension to men totally
disabled in the service, but the passage
of the Mexican pension bill and Its ap-
prevail by President Cleveland made a
precedent for pensioning veterans broken
by age and disease, and the much de-
nounced law of 1890, signed by President
Harrison. was a broadening of the Mexican
precedent.
