CRITICAL FOR CASTRO.
Revolutionists Seem to Have Advan-
 tage in Venezuela.

willeInstad. Island of Curacoa. March 2o-The Venezuelan revolution. headed by General Matos, seems to be taking form. Eight hundred revolutionists, under Gen. eral Panalozo are besieging Carupano Ca sea port town in the State of Bermudez) and the fevolutionists under General Monagas have surrendered Barcelona. the capital of the State of Bermudaz.
 General Riera. who escaped the pur- suit of the Venezuelan Government troops near Cumarebo. in the State of Falcon, Is marching in the direction of Tusacas. a seaport town in the State of Lara. which place is to be attacked on land by his troops from the sea by the revolutionary steamer Bolivar. also known as the Lib ertador. The Venezuelan Government fs sending troops to Fl Hacha to intercept General Rfera. The revoIutionists have cut the cable to Barcelona.
 The situation is said to be critical for President Castro. The Venezuelan fleet is not in condition to pursue the Bolivar. and the plans of President Castro to capture her have failed.
 The financial state of affairs in Vene. xueia is as bad as the political situation in that country.

THE WORKOF CONGRESS-
BILL TO PRoTxcT PRESIDENT
 DISCUSSED.
Senator Ysttns DelivSrs an Argument in Support of the xeasure- McOumber of North Dakota
 Opposes It.

waahington. March 2o.-Throughout to- AAy's session ef the Senate the bill for the protection for the President was un- der discussion.
 Before adjournment an agreement was reached to vote on the bill and pending amendments at o'clock tomorrow.
 The speakers today were Messrs Pet tus (Ala.). Hawiey (Ccnn.). and Nelson (Minn.) in support of the bill; and Messrs Rawlins (Utah), McCumber (N. D.. Mallory F1a.). Carmack (Tenn.) and Money and McLaurin (Miss.) in opposi- tion to it. The speeches in the main were a reinforcement of arguments that have been advanced heretofore, few new points being raised. The principal point made by the opponents of the measure was that federal officials ought to be treated by the courts precisely as are other citizens. The substitutes for the bill are pending and will be pressed when the voting begins tomorrow.
 Mir. Mallory gave notice of an amend ment which he probably would offer pro- viding as substitute for Section of the bill which arrsnges for military guard for tho President. that the Secretary of the treasury employ cohpetenS anu ois> erect men to guard the President and to prevent the cousummation of conspiracies against him. Mir. Spooner (Wis.) said that that very plan was in force. now and in the instance of President McKin- ley'a assassination 1t had proved inef- Hcacious.
 Mir. Pettus (Ala.) thought that it was beneath the dignity of the President to be guarded by secret service officials. TAKE IN LAST ADD SENATE
 In his opinion. if President Mckinley had had a. proper military guard he would not have been assassinated. Such n proper guard could be furnished only by the army. ....
 MT. Mallory doubted whether a milita- ry or any other sort of guard could have prevented President McKinley's assassi- nation at Buffalo. He believed that . competent guard of civilians was better and more in the line with our institutions than a military guard.
 Mir. Hawley (Conn.) expressed his astonishment that some Senators should persist in misrepresenting the measure, In misunderstanding the constitution and In splitting hairs over inconsequential
