VENEZUELA IN THE THROES OF A
REVOLUTION.
Late Advices Indicate That President
Castro's Best Troops Are
Beaten Daily.

BERLIN, June 1.-THE German cruisers
Gazelle and Fake have been sent to La
Guaira, Venezuela, at the special request OF
the German charge d'affaires at Caracas.
Herr Won Pilgrim-Baltazzi, in consequence
Of revolution having broken out in the
suburbs of La Guaira, leading to the hon-
bardment of the town by the forts and
Venezuelan warshps.
Recent dispatches from Port au Spain,
Island of Trinidad, say events are march
ing with giant strides in the country OF
Bolivar. President Castro of Venezuela
has been forced to recognize that the Matos
revolution is not a myth, for his best
troops are beaten daily by the revolution
airy forces, and from north to south, from,
east to west the country is rising as one
man against Castro.
Matos Commands Revolutionists.
Gen. Matos, who likewise styles himself
president, has personally taken command
of the revolution, and was on June l at
Urica, twenty leagues distant from Caru-
pano, marching toward Caracas with an
army which some estimate at 500 men
and others at $500.
This is not the only direction in which
the presidents political horizon is men
aceu. oOTO, NdISnCld ana are
all more or less in the power of the revolu
tionists At Coro Gems. Riera and Solagni
have effected a junction and are absolute
masters of the environs. Revolutionary
troops enter the city of Valencia every
night.
Even La Guayra, the port of Caracas is
attacked nightly by armed bands, who on
the night of May - killed the military
chief of Maquetia before his own door. All
these bands only await the approach of
Matos army to their districts to hasten to
join him.
Business is Paralyzed.
All are expecting the imposition of a
forced war contribution. Business IS par
alyzed and the banks are Withdrawing spe-
Gle. The Bank of Caracas, the capital of
which is 100000 bolvars Gl, ,200,000) has
only 126, 900 bolivars (S25, ,0O0) in its Golfers.
Whatever the result of the revolution"
Gen. Castro said to one of his Intimate
friends few days ago. II shall show them

CUBAN RECIPROCITY
COMMENT ON THE TESTIMONY OF
MR.. THURBER.
Beet Sugar Men Use It as Argument
Against Reciprocity-More Con-
ferences Without Result.

The testimony of Mr.. F. B. Thurber be
fore the Senate committee on relations with
Cuba today as to his efforts to promote
reciprocity with Cuba attracted a great
deal of attention at the Capitol. 1t was
eagerly seized upon by the beet sugar men
as further argument against the passage
of the reciprocity bill, being construed by
them as proof of their oft-repeated asser-
tion that the American sugar trust is
factor in the propaganda for reciprocity
The beet sugar men in the Senate and
House were very jubilant over what they
termed an important disclosure.
Friends of the Bill.
The friends of the reciprocity bill In the
Senate thought that the testimony ought
not to affect the pending bill one way or
the other. They said in commenting upon
the that literature had been sent out
by both sides to the controversy; that no
doubt the beet sugar refiners had contribut-
ed to a fund to exploit their position. Lit
erature had been distributed by the beet
sugar retiners, and they had earnestly
urged their opposition to the policy which
others had favored
The friends of the bill insisted that the
activity of any special interest which might
consider itself likely to receive incidental
benefit from the legislation should not be
permitted to halt the efforts of the admin
istration in a course entirely unselfsh and
devised for Cuba's prosperity and the ce-
menting of closer relations between Cuba
and the United States
Conferences Today
The conference between the two factions
of the republican senators over Cuban reci-
procity continued today, but without re-
suit. Senator Aldrich, who Is one of the
managers for the reciprocity proposition,
said the matter was not settled The oppo-
stion still maintains confidence that a
straight reciprocity proposition cannot

Roosevelt and the Detectives.

Secretary Cortelyou and the secret

plans to prevent President Roosevelt
exposing himself in public too much,
said White House policeman, but
he knocks all their plans in the head
when they least expect it. When ne
is about to start away on a trip the
White House landau is always brought
ND to the door. closed. President Nc
Kinley generally preferred to ride in
closed vehicle. President Roosevelt
won't have it that way on fine, clear
day, and every time he walks out on
the portico and sees the landau closed
he gives orders to have 1t opened.
He waits until that is done and then
gets in and rides down the avenue,
or wherever he is going, without any
obstruction whatever to his view he
often outwits the detectives by getting
away for walks or drives without their
being any the wiser or without thelr
being able to follow him. He doesn I
tell anybody that he is going out
and the first the secret service mar
around the White House knows is
when he sees the president swinging
off down the walks on his way ou
of the grounds"
