DEMAND FOR WARSHIPS
NEEDED FOR LOOKING AFTER
AMERICAN INTERESTS.
Activity Of Insurgents in West Indies
and on the Shores Of the
Caribbean.

Unusual activity of the insurgents in the
West Indies and on the shores Of the Carlb-
bean is taxing the resources OF the
Navy Department in the matter of ships to
look after American interests. A cablegram
received at the State Department today
from United States Minister Bowen at Car
acas states that the Marietta is proceeding
to ascertain the facts connected with the
alleged blockade of the Venezuelan govern
ment at its own port of Carupano. An at
tack upon Puerto Cabeiio, which lies about
seventy miles west of the capital is ex-
pected by the government, and the presi-
dent may go there from Barcelona, instead
of to Caracas, as he originally intended.
There are now three United States warships
on the Venezuelan coast, and all of them
are kept moving with alacrity to put in an
appearance at the ports where disturbances
are threatened as a result of the revolt.
Meanwhile a cry for a ship comes from
Hayti in the shape of a telegram this morn
ing from United States Consul Livingston
at Cape Haytien. He reports that troops
and Haytian warships are approaching to
attack and lombard the cape. There is
some excitement among the foreigners at
the cape, and good deal of apprehension
for their safety Besides the three ships en-
ployed in Venezuelan waters, the United
States has in the Caribbean only the Ma
chias, at Colon. and conditions there are
luctant to move her. In any case, it would
be impossible to get a ship to Cape Haytien
In less than two or three days, by which
time the crisis may be past.
Mr.. Pulido, charge d'affaires of Vene-
Zuela. called at the State Department to-
day and had short talk with Dr. Hill re-
garding the situation in Venezuela and
making the acting secretary of state ac-
quainted with the information contained IN
the official mail from Venezuela which has
just arrived in this city.
Mr. Pulido received a communicat ton
from SenOr r. Lopez Baralt, who is acting
secretary of state for Venezuela while the
secretary, Senor Ferrer, is with President
Castro in the field. Senor Baralt stated
that the reports which had gained currency
to the effect that the entire western por
ton of the country was in practical pos
session of the revolutionary forces was
entirely untrue, and he stated that there
was not man in arms against the govern
ment in the Andes states, nor in Zamora
or Zulia. Further. Senior Baralt expressed
confidence that the large and well-equpped
government army could successfully keep
down the revolutionary outbreaks in other
parts of the country, and that President
Castro will soon accomplish the restord-
tiOn of peace in the republic.

of the leaders and destroyed quantities of
supplies.
An extensive drive. with the object OF

organized in Cavite province. Twelve hum
dred constabuiary, commanded by Capt.

A MYSTERIOUS BLAZE
GROCER'S PLACE OF BUSINESS
AND STOCK DAMAGED.
Charles p. Posey, the Owner, Held to
Await Result of Investiga-
ton.

A bold attempt at incendiarism was made
this morning about clock in the house
OF Charles Z. Posey, a retired policeman,
at Brightwooi. Fire started in six places
about the two-story frame structure News
papers saturated with kerosine oil were
used by the incendiary. All the doors and
windows were SO tightly closed that the
flames gained but little headway before
they were eXtinguished by the members of
No. . chemical engine company AS it
was, the building was damaged to the
amount of about 500, while the stock in
Mr.. Posey's grocery store and his furniture
suffered to the extent of about $40O Posey
was arrested and taken to the tenth pre-
cinct to be held pending INVESTIGATION
of the fire by Lieutenant kenney's police
men and Detective Baur.
1t was a few minutes after o'clock when
the fremen were called to the burning
house. They found paper saturated with
Oil in all parts of the house In the hall
near the front door they discovered the
first blaze. The flames had burned the
door and on the floor was an oil can. In
the store they found where two fires had
been started and a similar condition of af
fairs was found in the basement, as well
as in the rear room on the first floor and
in the room where the grocer had been
sleeping. The bed upon which he had slept
was badly burned. In few minutes the
tiremen had the flames under control and
they were soon extinguished. Mr.. Posey
had a weIl-stocked grocery store and his
house was we'll furnished. On his stock of
groceries and household effects he carried
$500 insurance, so he informed the po-
lice.
Mr.. Posey's Statement.
Mr.. Posey says his wife went away on
visit two or three weeks ago, leaving him
alone.
Last night he retired about the usual
hour, and this morning, shortly before 1
o'clock, he was aroused by the smoke and
odor from the burning oil. He hurriedly
put on his shoes and got together his papers
and money and started from the house. On
his way out he fell down the steps and hurt
himself. Upon reaching the yard he found
his horse had been turned loose. He took
the horse to place of safety and returned
to the house, where he met Sergeant ]. j.
Murphy. Then outcry was made and the
fireman responded.
In addition to the several bundles of paper
saturated with oil, the firemen found that
oil had been poured on the floors and over
steps of somebody IN the house when he
was awakened by the smoke.
Lieutenant Kenney. Detective Baur and
Sergeant Bremmerman made an investiga-
tion of the case today. Posey, who is under
arrest, is forty years old. He is from
Charles County, Maryland, and was ap-
pointed on the police force in 1895, previous
to which he had been a pilot on the Po-
tOMac river. Three years after his appoint
ment he was struck with brick by a pris-
oner, and was so badly injured that he
was unable to do further duty. The police
surgeons recommended him for retirement,
and he was allowed a pension of $50
month. The case is being further investi-
gated.

MI. Campbell to Be Honored.

Mr.. Frank L. Campbell, assistant secre-
tary of the interior. received letter today
from the president of Washington and JEFF
ferson College, Washington, Pa, asking him
to be present at the college, October 15.
when the degree of LID. will be conferred
upon him. 1t came as a surprise to Mr..
Campbell, as he is not a graduate of the
Institution. He was attending the college
when the civil war broke out, and he left
his studies TO fight for the preservation of
the Union. The compliment is highly ap-
preciated By Mr.. Campbell and he will be
there to get the degree.

The old way of Passing Bills.

A document found among the Duke
of Rutland's papers at Belvoir castle
throws a curious light upon the mode
of getting private bills through the
house of commons in the days of King
Charles II. The case in hand was the
divorce bill of John, Lord de Roos, an
affair that caused Il great deal of Cos
sip in its day. One of his lordship's
agents wrote in January, 1867: "On
Wednesday last got six and forty Of
the house of commons to the Dog tav-
ern, in the palace yard at Westmin-
ster, when We're present Mr.. Attorney
General and Mr.. George Montagu. AS
soon as they had dined we carried
them all to the house of commons, and
they passed the bill, as the committee,
without any amendments, and ordered
it to be reported the next day."
