NEW YORK, May 15.-The Dutch steamer
Prinz Frederick Hendrix arrived today
from ports in Venezuela and the islands Of
West Indies. The steamer, however, passed
Martinique too far distant to know anything
Of the eruption.
At Carupano, Venezuela, the people we're
in a state OF defense, having had a battle
with the government forces few days be-
fore. The town was barricaded and every
man carried a gun. Captain Wander Gott
OF the steamer contradcted the report that
the city had been bombarded. He said 1t
had fallen after 1,400 men had gone out to
meet the enemy and only $50 returned. It
could not be learned If they had been killed,
wounded or captured or had merely run
away.
At Cumana the captain went ashore, but
could find no oficials to do business with
and consequently was unable to discharge
his cargo for that place. The inhabitants
were also under arms and business ap-
peared to be suspended.

cluded costs. A short time prior to his
death Mr.. Roth refused to pay an assess
ment on the policy. and this act the
company claimed, made the policy invalid.
Judge Adams said: "Mr Roth had paid
many assessments on his policy and the
net value paid was suficient to carry
after his lapse for a period extending to
the time OF his death. Therefore the fact
that he failed to pay an assessment con-
stituted no defense"

Cablegram-Special Telegram. president
Palma had long conference with Gov
ernor Jennings of Florida and Colonel
William j. Bryan this morning. The presl-
dent said he had come to Cuba reluctantly,
preferring his home at Central Valley and
quiet life with his family rather than
public life. But he came because he felt
1t his duty. He wanted the Cubans and
the Spaniards to turn their backs on the
past and unltedly face the future. The
native pride of the Spaniards was COM
mendable and he hoped they would take
similar pride in Cuba. He wanted oppo-
sttion for the betterment of the govern
ment, but not the personal opposition OF
prejudice. He would be ready and willing
to heed criticism and thought the liberty
Of the press a great national benefactor.
He was familiar with American history
and would endeavor to have Cuba follow
in the footsteps of the United States.
The Spanish colony will give a brilliant
ball Saturday night in honor OF the corona
tion OF Alfonso XIII. President Palma will
attend. He says b. Is glad to show his
respect for the government OF Spain and
thinks the Cnbans should take an interest
In the mother country.

IOWA LIQUOR LAW INVALID
Supreme Court Holds MuIct Law
to BE UncOnstitu-
tiOnaI.

DEs MONIES, Ia. May 15.-The supreme
court ruled today that the sale Of liquor to
"boOtleggers" and other resident violators
OF the Iowa law cannot be prohibited when
the sales are made by agents Of non-resi-
dent dealers.
The court holds that the section Of the
Iowa liquor law known as the 'mulct law"
prohibiting such sales, Is in conflict with
interstate commerce laws and is therefore
unconstitutional.
The decision is rendered in the case Of
State against Pat Henappy of Jefferson
county and is reversed in favor OF the de-
fsndant who was agent for an Illinois
liquor house, soliciting orders at Fairfield
which we're filled by shipment direct TO the
purchaser.
The effect OF the decision is to prevent
further seizure OF liquor in the hands OF
express and other transportation companies
and disposes Of dozens Of such cases now
pending.

There are eight staDzas Of eight lines each.
One OF the stanzas follows:
The soldier-why, the very utterance
Is muslc-as Of ,rallying bugles blent
With blur of drums and cymbals and the
chants
OF battle hymns that shake the conti-
nent-
The thunder-chorus of world is stirred
To awful universal jubilee
Yet ever through II, pure and sweet, are
heard
The prayers of womanhood and infancy
