War in Venezuela.

Washington, June 19.-In we'll
informed diplomatic circles here the
impression prevails that the revolu-
tion which is at present threatening
President Castro, of Venezuela, is per-
haps the most formidable of any that
have arisen there during the past few
years. Nevertheless, as long as the
revolutionists can be confined in their
movements to outlying towns and can
be kept from the central points of ad-
ministration, such as Caracas or the
city OF Valencia, it is thought here that
there is no possibility of final success

DEWEY TO GO TO SEA.
To Have Big Fleet and Conduct Naval Man.
euvers in the South.

Washington, June II. Admiral
Dewey is to 60 to sea again, flying his
flag, with the four stars, in command
of the greatest feet in numbers the
United States has ever gotten together
since the days of the Civil war, and far
more powerful in offense and defense
even than any of those war fleets.
Secretary Moody has conceived the
idea, and after consulting the pleasure
Of Adirsl Dewey it has been arranged
that he shall be placed in supreme
command of the feet Comprising the
North Atlantic, the European and the
South Atlantic squadrons), which is to
assemble near Culebra island, in the
West Indies, next December for the
winter maneuvers. Secretary Moody
himself desires to witness these man
euvers, and it is even possible that the
president may find time to make voy-
age to the South to see the big ironclads
in war movements. Admiral Dewey
goes gladly to his work.
1t is settled that Secretary Moody
will witness the summer movements of
the North Atlantic squadron, involving
combined naval and army attack on
and defense of the. Eastern approaches
to New York City. It is expected he
will board the Dolphin for the purpose,
and he has invited as his guests Sena-
tor Hale, chairman OF the senate naval
committee, and Representative Foss,
chairman of the house naval committee.
There will be other guests than these,
but Secretary Moody has not yet an
nounced their names.

CONvICTS KEEP MOVING.
Tracy and Merrill Continue North-Last Seer
Near La Center, Wash.

La Center, Wash, June 1S.-In it's
theatrical progress north the man hunt
has reached this ordinarily peaceful
village. Sheriff Marsh, Sheriff Totten,
Guard Carson, the bloodhounds and
various members OF the numerous
posses spent the night here alter a day
of alarms and bloodless pursuit of the
convict murderers. Tracy and Merrill
are not here, but they are supposed to
be somewhere within a radius of one or
two or three miles of La Center. Just
where they will be by night the day
only will bring forth. From past
experiences with these expert and in
teresting fugitives, it is pretty safe to
guess that distance will lend its more
or less enchanting charms to the view
the officers will then get of their
quarry. After a stern chase, lasting
throughout the entire day yesterday,
the officers adopted the scheme of get
ting to a point ahead and thus inter-
cepting the rogues' progress, and it
looked for awhile last evening as if
the scheme would be highly success
ful. Tracy and Merrill were heard
from, making their my sterious way to-
ward the town, and after bobbing up
serenely for few moments they again
took an opportune time for disappear
ing. The whole posse rushed out after
them, leaving the little town in a
state of unprecedented excitement; but
they came back in due time empty
handed.
