we're lined with silent throngs through
which drove peers and pccresses, colo

In the chanccl were Joseph II. Choate,

In the nave about thousand of the

Shortly before noon, the big western
doors were swung open, sunlight strcamed
in and the Duke of Cambridge, leaning on

progress in convalescence occasions the
greatest satisfaction in all circles. His
majesty is displaying the greatest interest
in all public questions and is expressing
his gratitude over the evidence Of the
worlds solicitude by opening number Of
kilograms with his own hands.
The action excited him slightly, causing
some restlessness during the night, and
aroused some solicitude on the part of the
attending doctors.
All this really was unimportant, as his
majesty soon quieted down and on the
whole rested satisfactorily.
Improvement in the kings condition
this morning was most marked. Every
body in Buckingham palace is delighted,
and high hopes are entertained that his
convalescence will be much more speedy
than was expected last night.
Regent Not Needed.
At no time has there been any serious
suggestion OF the establishment OF re-
gency. The most that was done was in
the way of pure speculation, a suggestion
that the Prince OF Wales might act for
his father as King Edward Chen Prince
of Wales) frequently did for Queen Vic
toria in former days, and particularly dur
ing her last illness, but without the for
malty OF being appointed regent.
The good news given out by the Duke
of Connaught at Buckingham palace be-
fore the doctors morning bulletin consul
tation, occasioned the liveiest satisfaction
to all persons collected at the palace the
Mansion house and elsewhere awaiting
tdings from the sick chamber.
The absence from ambiguity in the Ian
guage Of the medical bulletin which, UNI
like previous statements. has no qualifying
phrases, has done much to restore conf
dence in the public mind in regard to the
outcome OF the kings illness.
King Edward saw several members OF
his family during the morning.
The queen remained at the palace, but
the Princess Victoria drove out this morn
ing.
In most OF the churches throughout the
land today the services which were TO
commemorate the coronation of King Ed
ward are taking place in the changed form
of intercessionary prayers.

The new disaster complicates General

General Vctutino, the chief commander,
quarrels daily with General Castro who is
a brother of the president and he will
abandon the command today.
The situation is more than critical. The
government is compelling importers at
Carupano to pay again the duties collected
on goods received during the late occupa-

The United States Vice Consul Juan

BRITISH MEDICAL
JOURNAL REPORTS
NO INDICATION OF ANY TROUBLE OR
COMPLICATION AND KING MAY
LIVE MANY YEARS.
iBY ASSOCIATED PRESS I

London, June 26.-The British Medical
Journal says: Should the kings symp-
toms pursue the course they have hitherto
followed, there is good reason to hope
for his majesty's restoration to health.
Owing to the nature of affection and the
character of the dressings used it is in
estimable that his convalescence should be
somewhat prolonged, but, we believe if no
complications arise, there is no reason to
fear his recovery will be complete.
The condition of the parts made clear
at the operation was such as to assure
the surgeons that the abscess was due to
one of those unexplained inflammations
which occur with remarkable frequency
in the neighborhood of the vermiform and
appendix and that it was not due to any
organic disease Of more serious ma
ture or to any malignant growth, as ru-
NOR has suggested.
Up to the present there is no Indication
of the occurrence of any complication
and, should none arise, his majesty NAV
live for many years.

PL UNDERED A FLUME
TO THE TUNE OF $500
Tucker and Company Cause Arrest OF
Two Men and Woman for
Larceny.

Fred Miller, member of the mining
and milling concern known as Tucker &
Company, today swore to complaint
charging Mrs. Bertoglio, Erwin Davis and
John Doe Painter with petit larceny, in
stealing timber blocks from a fume at
Mcadcrvlle, whose value he set at 5000.
Deputy County Attorney Lynch issued the
complaint and it was filed in Judge Lib
bey's court.
Miller told the officer that Mrs. Ber-
toglio, Davis and Painter, three days ago
plundered fume at Meaderville which
the Tucker company was using in its busi-
ness and caused the company loss of
5000 through damage to the structure and
the blocks taken.
Miller secured search warrant and had
an officer search the houses of the defend
ants, and he told Mr.. Lynch that the
blocks were found in the dwellings. A
charge of malicious mischief may be
placed against the defendants also.

John Bennett, the self confessed mur-

The knowledge of this fact seems to
have brought the prisoner to a realization
OF his position, which caused nervousness
and fearfulncss of the possibilities that
confront him. Yesterday formal COM
rlaint was issued against him. charging
Inn directly with the murder.
This complaint was read to him by
Justice OF the Peace Willard in the pres

that he was the man wanted though he
demurrcd against some OF the charges
contained in the complaint.

Yesterday evening Bennett sent for
Messrs. Gablcr and Sebray, attorneys. and
II is understood Bennett wanted them 10
get him out of custody on writ OF ha-
bcas corpus.
As there is no money in sight for the
attorneys, it is not likely they will take
the case up.
Opinions are divided here as to the
truth or falsity Of the mans confession.
Many seem to think that he so nearly an
