New York City.--If the predictions
of produce growers and dealers are
verified potatoes will soon be the
greatest luxury in the New York
markets. They have advanced more
than one dollar in price in week
and are now selling at prices ranging
from four dollars to four dollars and
fifty cents n barrel, the highest price
they have brought in years and the
quality Is very inferior.
Small greengrocers and market
dealers say they can get no potatoes
worth their handling beyond radius
of $50 miles from New York. a small
quantity coming from Maryland, Vir-
ginia and South Jersey, while the
Long Island crop, ordinarily their
main dependence is a total failure
This is owing to the cold rainy spring,
and dry heat later.
In Maryland the farmers are getting
three dollars and fifty cents and four
dollars in their home market against
one dollar and twenty five and one
dollar and fifty cents, last years
prices. The larger produce dealers
and wholesale potato firms who depend
on the West for their chief supply and
who keep posted upon the prospects
for later crops, say there will be prac.
tlcally no potatoes from the West.
Ohio, Michigan and Illinois can, un.
der normal conditions, be counted
upon to send large crop of potatoes
Of fine quality, but this year less than
half the usual supply is expected, with
the greater portion from Michigan.
1t is predicted that the price will 90

Fight on the Border.
A GREAT BATTLE FOUGHT


DIR. Ga1viras - Castro Has an Army o
10000 - Colombia May Be Called oI
For an Explanation - Rebels BesteI
and Country at Peace.
Washington, d. c. A cable dis
patch from William W. Russell,
Secretary of the United States lega-
tlon at Caracas. to the Department
of State. announced that the Pres
ldent of Venezuela had declared
martial law on account of the inva-
sion of Venezuela by a revolutionary
force from Colombia. He also re-
ported that an army of 10000 Ven
ezuelans were prepared to meet the
invaders.
Advlces received in Washington by
SenOr Pulido. Charge d'Affaires of
Venezuela, in a dispatch from Consul
General r. Gonzales Esteves at New
York, are that the revolutionary force
was routed by the Venezuelan troops
after brief battle. The dispatch,
which was in cipher, when translated,
read as follows:
venezuelan forces of about 10000
met the invading force of revolution
lists. the latter led by DR.. Rangei Gal
vlras, and completely destroyed his
force. A few fed across the border.
"ESTEVES, Consul-General."
Senior Pulido declared that this mill
tary stroke would end the whole rev.
olutionary movement under Galyiras.
He expressed the opinion that Presi-
dent Castro would have no more
trouble from the same source. and
said that he had known for some time
that revolutionists had gone beyond
the Colombian border for the purpose
of organizing. DR.. Galviras, he said,
is forty-five years old. a conservative,
and orthodox Catholic. aud was for
Ilerly Venezuelan Minister to Spain.
He was born in the Department Of the
Andes, and has been very active re-
Gently in the anti Castro movement.
He fed from Venezuela to Colombia
to organize his forces.
Senior Pulido would not discuss the
question of possible complications
with Colombia by reason of the failure
of the Colombian Government to pre-
vent the organization of the insurrec-
tionary forces. but 1t is certain that
some explanation will be asked by
Venezuela.
According to a cable dispatch re-
ceived in New York City by Consul
General Il. Gonzalez Esteves from
President Castro the first move of the
insurgents has been checked. The
message said:
THE Colombian invasion into Vene-
zuela has been successfully repelled,' V
Another dispatch from the Minister
of Foreign Affairs read:
"Ali right. Country at peace
General Galyiras, who is at the head
Of the latest revolt. is said to have
5000 insurgents under his command.
He is little known In the country, and
1t may be that the real leader of the
rebellion, which has been threatening
for some time, has not yet been re
vealed. 1t is known that there are in
Curacao and Colombia several Vene-
zuelan Generals who are enemies Of
President Castro.
The suggestion is made that Gen
eral Ignacio Andrade, who was ousted
from the Presidency about two years
ago by General Castro, Is also inter-
ested in the uprising. His visit to
INsSv York City a few weeks ago, In
cognito. was said to have something
to do with rebellion which he has
long threatened.

should Not Marry Under Two Years.

Judge Davis has expressed his ideas
about what the law relating to mar
riage should provide. He said one of
the greatest causes for divorce suits,
it seemed to him, is the marriage of
persons before they know each other
long enough to know anything about
either's character or disposition. There
fore he believed an amendment should
be passed by which persons should
not be permitted to marry until they
had known each other two years.
