seized whatever of value they could find. At

great game Of ball, to which they had been
invited by the Chippeways. That tribe Of
Indians was to play against the Sacs.
The game, which the Chippeways called
baggattaway, was much liked by many
Indian tribes. In playing it each side had a
post for station, and the effort of'the game
was to drive the ball to the opponents post
and keep it from ones own. Naturally, it
happened that In struggling for the ball the
players would be wildly rushing apart at one
moment and at another punched together In
mad crowd. Such a game would offer
great opportunity for treachery, and for that
reason the Chippeways played it on that day.
The morning was fair and warm, the gates
OF the fort were wide open, and the soldiers,
mostly without arms, were standing in the
open plain watching the ball game Sud

WILL RETURN TO CARACAS.
Venezuela's President Recides Against
Battle.

United States Minister Bowen at Caracas
has cabied the State Department as fol-
lows: THE President OF Venezuela has
abandoned the idea of attacking the enemy
at Barcelona and is proposing to return to
Caracas soon"
President Castro went to Barcelona,
which was partially invested by the revo-
lutionists about ten days ago, landing from
government warship and asserting that
he would clear out the rebels within fifteen
days He had a considerable force of SOL
diers with him, and the reason for his
change of mind in the absence of decisive
battle can only be conjectured here. 1t is
known that he is unable to regain Caracas
by land owing to the presence between him
self and the capital Of rev dictionary forces,
and he must return by water as he came.

The Movement to Substitute Civilians
for Naval Officers Ashore.

The effort to substitute civilians for naval
officers in their shore duties has come to
an unexpected check The reports called
for from every officer shore as to the ma
ture of the duties he is discharging show
that in most of the instances where 1t will
be possible to substitute civilian employees,
owing to the high technical skill required
the compensation OF the civilians would be
far in excess OF the salaries paid to naval
officers
This Is particularly true in the case of
inspectors of structural material and ships
under construction. and in the case Of naval
engineers doing shore duty it Is the general
report that no one but commissioned off,
