TIE SCORPION FOR VENEZUELA
To Protect Americans In the Contrn-
Ncrsy Over Asphalt Concessions.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The navy de-
nartment has ordered the Scorpion to
proceed at once to Laguira, Venezuela.
TO replace the Hartford at that port.
The dispatch of the gunboat is due to
the trouble growing out Of asphalt con-
cessions, and the purpose to afford all
due protection to American life and
property should either become en-
dangered. At the same time the re-
lief OF the Hartford will permit that
ship to go 10 Port Of Spain in the near
vicinity and exchange crews with the
cruiser Bualffo, which arrived there
yesterday en- route to Manila
A dispatch from Curacao says: The
diplomatic controversy over the rival
asphalt interests in Venezuela is ap-
preaching an acute stage. The Ven
ezuelan government ignores the pro-
tests Of Washington against the semi
official conspiracy to deprive the New
York and Bermudes company illegally
of the Bermudes Asphalt lake.

Two Women Burned 70 Death.

Pittsburg, Jan. Mrs. Charlotta
Brown and her daughter Lille, aged
22 years, were burned to death at their
home in Allegheny yesterday. There
is considerable mystery about the orr
gin Of the fire, one story being to the
effect that the daughter, after quarrel
ing with her mother, deliberately set
fire to the clothing of both. A neigh
Dor says Mrs. Brown told her Lille did
the deed because she had been mad
since Christmas. The hospital au-
thorites, however say that before Mrs
Brown died she said her daughter was
set afire by the explosion of a lamp
and in going to her assistance she
tMrs. Brown was also enveloped in
flames.

Women and Children Escape.
London. Jan. 1.-The Beers have now
reached a point half way between the
Orange river and Capetown, and, in
spite of optimism of the London press.
the government announcement at
Capetown shows how seriously the in
vasion is regarded there.
The government at Capetown an
nounces the situation as follows:
owing to the fact that the armed
forces Of the enemy have penetrated
south of Carnarvon in the west and
south of Middleburg eastward, 1t is
necessary to repel the invasion prompt
ly, and the government calls upon loyal
inhabitants to aid the military in this
duty by the formation of colonial
force for the sole and exclusive purpose
of repelling invasion, guarding lines
OF communication and maintaining or
der in the disturbed districts. Nolun-
teers should enroll with the civil COM
missioners in their respective districts
They will be paid five shillngs per day
with rationS, forage, arms and horses.
The only thing that really touches
the British public is the loss of big
naval gun. The Times yesterday, how
ever, draws attention to what nigh,
prove serious danger, namely the
possibility Of another outbreak OF
enteric fever among the soldiers, worr
down by the hardships and privationS
of a prolonged and not exciting cam
paign.
Lord Kitchener, in dispatch to the
war Office dated Pretoria, Dec 81, says
"A small portion of the enemy's force
which entered the colony to the cas-
broke away in a southwesterly direC
ton and crossed the railway at poin
between Bangor and SherbOrne. They
did some damage to the railway. Tn,
column under Williams will be in toucl
with this body today. The force which
entered the colony to the west passed
the road from Carnarvon to Vlctori;
