IMPRISONED IN VENEZUELA
v. s. CONSULAR .fGE ENT ARRE ESTED
 WITHOUT ADEQUATE CAUSE.

The Second Time He Has Been Treated
 This Way Within the Last Five
 Months-Vill Resign Unless Protected
 by This Demand for m
 Apology by Minister Loomis Ignored.
 Port of Spain, Trinidad, March IT. (via Haytien cable)-News has reached here that the United States consular agent at Barcelona, Venezuela, Igna- cio H. Biaz, has been arrested by Ven- ezuelan officers and imprisoned without adequate cause. This Is the second time he has been treated in this fashion within the last five months and he will resign unless protected by the Wash
 ington government. It appears that several sums of money have been fore ed from him by the Venezuelan officials under threat of imprisonment. The pro tests of MT. Biaz to Washington seem to have met with no response thus far. Three months ago MT. Loomis the Unit ed States minister at Caracas, made a demand on the Venezuelan government for an apology for the first outrage, but his communication was quite ignored.

FATAL FIRE TN PITTSBURG.
One Fireman Killed, Three Hurt-Ex-
 position Buiiding Gutted.

1 Pittsburg, March 17-During the progress of a fire to-day at the corner of Duquesne Way and Fort street, one man lost his life, three others were badly hurt. The property loss will be fully $250,000 well insured Dead: Will liam Miller, driver.
 Injured: George J. Snyder; hoseman; Harry Griffith, ladderman; H. D. Scheckler, hoseman. All of the injured men will recover.
 The fire broke out in the boiler room of the Hiram w. French company's hair felt factory just opposite the ex- position main building. It was fully twenty minutes after the fire was dis covered before the engines reached the scene. From the felt factory the flames jumped across the street and in very short time the exposition building was burning fiercely. All the firemen could do here was to prevent the flames spreading. After hard work this was accomplished and machinery hall, with it's valuable contents was saved. The main building was complete wreck. Two lumber yards adjoining the felt factory soon succumbed. Gallagher & Banker lost one million feet or lumber and Henry Henk 35O,O0O feet of valuable hard wood. Three small dwellings near the lumber yards were destroyed but as far as known all the inmates es- capped.
 The intense heat melted the network of wires running in every direction and one of them in falling struck a trolley wire the other end crossing the brass nozzle held by Miller and Snyder. Both men fell as though they had been shot. Schreckler and Griffith, in going to the rescue were also caught and both were badly burned. When the protsrate men were reached Miller was dead and two of the others unconscious. The loss on the exposition building will reach S100,- 900, fully insured. President Torrance says the structure will be rebuilt at once.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
Mrs. c. N. yensa Died Suddenly and Her
 Husband Is Held om Susplcion.


 Husband Is Held on Suspicion.
 Mrs. Grace Vensal, of No. 122 Day street, died suddenly yesterday after noon at her home, and the circum- stances surrounding her death are such as to lead the authorities to suspect that foul play was connected with it.. The case was reported to the police yester- day afternoon and Dr. Bartlett the medical examiner, was notified. Dr. Bartlett visited the house and in mak- ing an examination he found circum- stances which led him to report the case to Coroner Mix
 Dr. Bartlett last night refused to give out any information concerning the case and referred a reporter to the coroner. Coroner Mix would say nothing about the case, except that the circumstances of the death were suspicious. By direc- ton of the coroner Detective Frey of the Dixwell avenue police precinct, last evening arrested the womans husband, Charles N. Vensal and he was locked up. No specific charge was placed against him last night, but he is held on suspicion.
 Although no definite information could be obtained from officials as to the sus picons which led to the locking up of Vensal, the coroner said that Mrs. Ven sal's death was not due to shooting or gtabbing. Neighbors of the family said last night that there was suspicion in the neighborhood that Mrs. Vensal's death was due to poisoning, None of the neighbors knew of any domestic trouble in the Vensal family.
 Vensal is paper hanger by trade and his family consisted of himself and wife, there being no children.

Details of tho Funeral Procession.
 Indianapolis, March 17.-Surrounded by fully fifteen thousand of his fellow citizens, the remains of Benjamin liar rison were this afternoon inferred ill the family lot in Crown cemetery. Close by the grave were the members of his family, President Mckinley and other visitors of distinction and the more in innate friends of General Harrison. Back a distance of fifty yards, behind ropes guarded zealously by large force of police, stood with uncovered heads the great multitude who knew him not so well as did they who stood beside the freshly upturned earth, but who honored and admired him quite as much. It is doubtful if any public man, at least in this generation, has been borne to his last resting place among so, many manifestations of respect. Of passionate grief there was little out side the members of his family, but the tribute of respect was universal There was no exception anywhere to the ex- precision that the nation had lost one of it's ablest men and the greatest man of his generation in his own state.
 By the grave stood the chief magis- trate of the nation, and behind the ropes were the street arabs of General Harrison's city; every grade of human

THE DEFENDANTS
 WE'RE NOT PRESENT
Cases Against Taylor, Finley, Howard and Powers Were
 Called But Continued

Frankfort. Ky. April 2.-In the Crim- inal Court today, the indictments against ex-Governor w. S. Taylor ex-Secretary of State Charles Finley Berry Howard and John L. Powers, for complicity in the Goebel assassination were called, but con- tinued, none of the defendants being in custody. The cases of Cullon and Green Golden, who are on bond, were also passed.
 The case of Capt. Garnett D. Ripley, the Henry County captain of the Taylor military company, under indictment for complicity in the Goebel murder conspir- acy, was also called this morning.
 The list of witnesses called by the com monwealth indicates that very near the same evidence as that brought out in the trial of Secretary of State Caleb Powers last summer is to be brought out or the trial, with some new features relating to Ripley. So many witnesses on both sides failed to answer that the attorneys consulted and agreed to postpone the case and call 1t for trial next Tuesday.
 Among the witnesses who were present were Governor w. O. Bradley, ex-Chief Justice Hazelrigg, ex-Adjutant-General Collier and others.
 Ripley is represented by J. T. O'Neil and W. M. Cravens, and the States At- torney Franklin, County Attorney Pols- grove and Judge B. J. Williams. T. c. Campbell, who was associated with the prosecution in the Howard and Powers cases, was not present, and 1t Is under stood will not be in the Ripley case.

VENEZUELAN PRESS
 ABUSED PRESIDENT
Papers Were Very Hostile to U. s. Navy and Minister
 loOmis

Port of Spain. via Haytien Cable, April Scorpian has been ordered to convey Francis B. Loomis, the minister at Ca racas, Venezuela, to San De Juan. Porto Rico, where he will ambark on a steamer for New York. The Scorpian leaves Ura- guayra April at l o'clock.
 An attache of the foreign office at Ca racas has divulged the fact that after the inspired press of Venezuela had for two months abused the United States navy, President Mckinley and Minister Loomis and the Venezuelan government for formally asking for the recall of MT. Loomis, for no valid reason. he had, however, antagonized certain high offi- cials. But, the government at Washing ton has supported Mir. Loomis and he is going to Washington not because he is re- called but on leave of absence to consult with Secretary Hay.
 President Castro is personally hostile to Mir. Loomis because the latter has protested strongly against the non-pay- ment of large sums due to Americans after the president had solemnly promis- ed to pay the Americans before any oth- CT foreign claims. But MT. Loomis dis covered that the president was paying German claims secretly. thus violating his promise and evading the terms of the agreement which called for the Amer ican claims.
