Venezuela, 700 rebels attacked that place
stubbornly and got inside the town. Severe
they were met by a thousand government
troops under General Velutini Severe
fighting, lasting the whole day, followed
and ended in the disorderly retreat of the
rebels, several of the latter being killed or
wounded. Bullets repeatedly struck the
steamer and the lives of her crew being in
danger, Captain Hoff, her commander, COM
municated with General Velutini and asked
for protection. The general replied that
the Polaria must clear out, she had no
right to be there. Her captain refused to
leave the port, and telegraphed to the Ger
man cruiser Gazelle, Captain Graforcola
at Laguayra, asking for immediate protec-
ton. The Gazelle arrived at Carupano on
Sunday morning and protected the Polaria
while the latter proceeded to take on her
cargo. This work was completed on Mon
day night and the Polaria sailed under the
protection of the cruiser, which also left
Carupano.
When the Polaria left Carupano the Ven
eZuelan government officials there were in
fear of another and more serious attack
on the place. Trade was completely Grip
pied and many atrocities were reported.

civil. SERVICE WARNING
ATTENTION CALLED By MIR. FOULkE
TO ORDERS ISSUED By PRESIDENTS.
Part Federal OfficehoIders May Take
in Politics Clearly Defined by
the Commissioners.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-Acting Presi-
dent w. D. Foulke. OF the Civil-service Com
mission, has addressed a communication TO
all the executive departments in regard 10
the part officeholders may take in politics.
Attention is called to an order issued by
President Cleveland July IA, 1886 containing
the following:
The influence of federal oficeholders
should not be felt in the manipulation OF
political primary meetings and nominating
conventions. The use by these officials or
their positions TO compass their selection
as delegates to political conventions Is in
decent and unfair; and proper regard for
the proprieties and requirements OF official
politics will also prevent their assuming
the active conduct of politicians"
The communication states that this order
has never been repealed, but has been de-
clared by President Roosevelt to be still in
force In constituting it, however, there is
a distinction. Mr.. Foulke says, to be made
between officers and employees who are in
the classified service and those who are not

the classified service are chosen largely
with reference to political consideration,
and as a rule are and expect TO be changed

fed service the choice is made without re-
gard 10 political consideration and the
tenure of office is unaffected by the change
of parties. In consideration OF this, the
communication further says, the man in
the classified service. while retaining his
right to vote as he pleases and TO express
privately his own opinion on all political
subjects, should not take an active part in
political management or in political cam
paigns, for the same reason that a judge or
an army officer is debarred from taking
such part. In regard to those who are not
in the classified service, the communica-
ton says the limitations are not so strict.
but even in this case officeholders must not
use their offices TO control political move

employees. They must not neglect their pub
lie duties and must not cause public scandal
by their activities"
