PERISHED IN FIRE.
Ten Lives Lost in Burning Structure
Near Cleveland, Ohio.
CAUGHT IN A FIR: on THE LAKE
Two Others Seriously Burned and
Will Likely Die--Firemen DO Some
Fine Work.

Cleveland. O., Special.-Fire early
Wednesday destroyed the temporary
waterwcrks crib two miles out in the
lake, resulting in the death OF
at least ten men, while two
others were probably fatally injured.
Fire and harbor tugs with rescuing
parties on board reached the crib soon
after the flames broke out, but when
they arrived the structure was seeth-
Ing mass of flames and all hope Of
saving it was abandoned. Men could
be distinguished swimming and float
ing in the water shouting for help.
Others were clinging to ropes which
they had hitched or tied to the rafters,
but the flames were burning the ropes
away while the men were stark naked,
and one by one they were falling into
the lake. The tugs circled around the
burning crib, picking up men from the
water and meantime playing heavy
streams upon lne HOHeS.
After an hours hard work the flames
were diminished enough SO that the
fremen could climb up the charred
steps and fight the fire from the inte-
rior. Then the horror Of the calamity
was first realized. Everything was
total wreck. While the firemen were
pouring water on the flames there was
a roaring furnace beneath which could
not be reached. But the firemen cluns
to their places, and fought every inch
of the way until the fire was under
control. After two hours of hard work
five charred human bodies were found
burned beyond recognition.

The extreme percentages of foreie

The extreme percentages of foreign
born citizens in the United States are
FOUND in the East and Northeast, and
the next greatest in the Northern Cen
tral diyision-the group Of States il
Guiding Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Min
nesota and Michigan. That New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Massa-
chusetts have the larger proportions
of foreign born will not come as a sur-
prising revelation, since the average
immigration returns show that about
eighty per cent of the arrivals from
abroad settle in the section covered
by these States. About q quarter Of
the Connecticut population is foreign
born.

One of the features of the Louis
lana Purchase Worlds Fair Exposi-
ton at st. Louis will be a heroic statue
of Napoleon Bonaparte and the devo-
ton of day of festivity to his MEM
ory. The sale of Louisiana to the
United States was Napoleon's colcep;
ton, and it was carried out against
the wishes Of his ministers. The pro-
moters Of the exposition, therefore,
consider that Napoleon did the Amer
lean Republic an ilestimable service
which is WORTHY Of distinguished rec
cgnition, for the acquisition of Louis
lana by England, as one of the fruits
of the Napolconic wars, might have
changed the whole current of Ancri

New York, Special.-The following
cable message has been received by

Cardenas, general secretary of Presi-
dent Castro, OF Venezuela, in reply to
dispatch addressed to the President.

zuela-Columbia situation:
Caracas, Venezuela, Aug. lin
the name of His Excellency, General
Castro. reply to your cablegram in
the following terms: The govern
ment of Venezuela. presided over by
General Castro, is fully justified in all
its works and acts. 1t is essentially
liberal in its practices. 1t is of the
opinion that the Conservatives Of Co.
lombia, probably led by ruinous and
wicked passions, have resolved to as
sist in a revolutionary movement
against Venezuela and her govern
ment. All of this has been actually
proven by the official publications is
sued by the cabinet in Bogota. They
date from the first of April. This
view has not been denied, either by
the Conservative government Of Co.
lombia, or by her envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary in this
capital.
when the government of Vene-
zuela was surprised by the first and
and second inyasions of her
six thousand and two hundred thou
sand men. respectively, the invaders
were VIGOROUSLY expelled by the gov
ernment and the people Of Venezuela.
Since said events, 10000 men have
been massed on the frontier for the
defense and integrity of Venezuela
and its national honor. These are
quite apart from her active service
troops on other parts of the frontier
as well as national troops scattered
over the republic and the reserve mill
tia now under arms.
Venezuela has not accepted the
invasion as an international attack by
the people of Colombia against the
people Of Venezuela, but knowing its
real source, recognizes in it the work
of the Conservative government of
Colombia against the majesty Of the
nation of Venezuela
