CHASE OF THE LLBERTADOR.
FILIBUSTER MANAGES TO ELUDE THE
VENEZUELAN GUNBOATS.

Willemstad Island of Curacao Jan. lit is
reported here that British war vessels have re-
ceived instructions to seize the Venezuelan rev.
olutionary steamer Libertador formerly the Ban
Righ) if they meet her flying the British flag and
bearing her original name
A steamer said to be the Libertador was cruis
ing off this island Thursday last. She is said to
have succeeded in landing arms and ammuni-
ton all along the coast of Venezuela.
1t is further reported that numbers Of guerilla
bands were moving in the Venezuelan States OF
Falcon and Lara. going toward designated
points of concentration and avoiding the gov
ernment troops.
Some British war vessels are expected to
rive at La Guayra tomorrow or the day after.
President Castro's warships, the Restaurador
Miranda and General Crespo. which were sent in
pursuit Of the Libertador have been unable to
overhaul her. They always arrive at some place
on the coast just after the Libertador has left
1t. The Venezuelan fleet returned to La Guayra
on Tuesday last in order TO coal
The Mendoza and Fernandez bands of insur
gents in Venezuela were still without arms when
government troops. The latter were again sur
rounding La Victoria.
If the government succeeds in obtaining pos
session of the arms and ammunition landed by
the Libertador. the insurrection will be crushed
for the government of President Castro has dur
ing the last fortnight become stronger than
ever. Great preparations are being made by
Castro to meet the expected general uprising,
and the result is said to be very doubtful al
though the revolution is popular in Venezuela.
An outbreak has occurred in the State Of
Zamora.
Traffic on the German railroad was resumed
yesterday, under the conditions imposed by the
Venezuelan Government, one Of them being that
the manager of the road, Herr Knoop is to
leave Venezuela.

EA sly TO MAKE CAPTAINS NOW
RIvES TELLS PARTRIDGE HE CAN AS
SIGN DETECTIVE SERGEANTS TO
PATROL DUTY.

In reply to a communication from Commits
assign detective sergeants to the duties per-
formed by other sergeants in precincts-that is,
TO patrol duty desk duty, in uniform-Mr.
Rives says:
my opinion is that you have the same
thority over detective sergeants. far
signments to duty are concerned, as you have
the other officers of your command. A
contrary construction would practically make
detective sergeants a privileged class, who could
not be employed elsewhere than in the detec-
tive bureau. To my mind it is clear that the
Legislature intended TO make such distipc-
ton. it expressly provided by Section 292
that the Police Commissioner should assign to
duty the officers ana members of the police
force and should have the power 10 change such
assignments from time TO time, Whenever in his
judgment the eXigencies of the service might
require such change"
The decision is at variance with all prece-
dents in the Police Department. Heretofore 1t
has been the rule that detective sergeants could
not become eligible for captaincy. Under Mr..
Rives's ruling these men can become desk SER
geants and therefore are eligible. This would
allow of a mans being appointed to the force
and in three days becoming captain.
It was learned at Police Headquarters yester
day that Commissioner Partridge next week
would assign the 115 detective sergeants who
duty as plain clothes men at the various pre-
cincts Commissioner Murphy used these men
TO form what he termed night patrol but all
of them will now be assigned to the same duty
as Is performed by the precinct detectives or
wardmen This will necessitate their reporting
TO Captain Titus at headquarters every morn
ing and then they will report TO the captain OF
the precinct to which they are assigned.

DEVERY BEGINS HIS FIGHT.
VICE COMMISSIONERS TO AUDIT
HIS CLAIM FOR PAY AS
CHIEF OF POLICE

A motion for a writ of mandamus to compel
the Civil Service Commissioners of the Van
Wyck administration to audit his claim for
pay and the Controller to pay him the salary
of Chief of Police was made before Justice
Beach yesterday on behalf Of William S. Devery.
The motion will be argued a week from to-
morrow, probably before Justice Leventritt. in
Part of the Supreme Court. IF Justice Leven-
trtt grants the motion and issues the writ it
will be decision that the law putting Devery

tional
Abram l. Elkus, counsel for Devery, said.
after agreeing with the Corporation Counsel on
date for the argument, that he expected the
case would be carried to the Court of Appeals.
no matter how the trial judge decided. In the
answering affidavit the Corporation Counsel
says that the law removing Devery from office
and declaring abolished the office of Chief of
Police is constitutional, and that Devery is en-
titled to no pay other than that allowed by
the statute to the deputy commissioner.
Devery drew no pay as deputy commissioner,
declining to recognize the law that removed
him from office and took from him his right
under Civil Service rules to complete his term
of service and retire a pension of half his
salary.
