Under the Present Plan Of Extension
Annual Deficit Of Postoffice De-

Washingt,I.. Nov. THE annual gross
cost of a complete rural free service
throughout the United States will APP
proximate $24. 900. 900 according to the an
nual report First Assistant Postmaster
Wynne, received today from August w.
Machen, the general superintendent OF
the service
The remaining zoo. 900 square miles not
now covered by rural free delivery SER
vice accordinging to the report will re-
quire the employment of $4,000 or $1,000
carriers in addition to those now employ
ed.
To extend the service II. 900 routes a year
until 1t becomes universal, the report
says, will require such large increased
appropriations that the annual postoffice
deficits for the ensuing two or three years
will probably reach $4,000 or $10,000.CS)
II not more; but once the service Is COM
pleted. the additional revenue derived will
soon reduce the deficit to present figures,
IL not entirely wipe them out.
There will be on December l fully LOO
routes for which there is no appropria-
ton available. This number probably
will be increased by January to at least
$500.
Mr.. Wynne and Mr.. Machen says that
to comply with the demands of the people
and of members of Congress the depart
ment will require an additional appropria-
ton; otherwise further establishment Of
service will be deferred until July /, next

Der of uniformed letter carriers in the
city service were 1883. as against 1888

the free delivery will be extended to
seventy-two offices during the current

ditures will aggregate $2l,32S,30O for the
maintenance and extension of city delive-
ry service during the fiscal year beginning
July /, 1904 including 1912. 900 for special

THE LEADERS FALL OUT
MAJORS AND RoLANDo HAv.
HOT WORDS.
Former Accused by the Latter of Be-
ing Responsible for the vene-
zuelan Rebels Lack Of
Ammunition.

La Victoria, Venezuela, Nov. 7.--News
has been received here concerning the
retreat of the revolutionary forces. 1t Is
to the effect that on the night of Novem-
Der the revolutonists withdrew from
their positions near La Victoria and San
Mateo because they were without ammu-
milton.
The fact that the rebels lacked cart
ridges caused disagreement between
General Matos and Rolando. which was
followed by hot words. General Rolando
declared that the shortage of ammunition
was the fault of General Matos and that
IL the success of the revolution was en-
daneered by this condition, General Ma
tos alone was responsible. He said that
all was lost, and with his followers,
about $500 men, he withdrew from the
main body of the rebels In the direction
of Alta Gracia. 1t Is reported that Gen.
eraI Rolando proclaimed lei Mocho" Her.
nandez the leader Of the revolution.
President Castro since The discovered
that the revolutionists only retreated be-
cause Of their absolute lack OF ammuni-
ton, has caused them to be pursued day
latest report issued by the Government
says that Generals Matos. Mendoza and
Riera and their commands are fleeing
in disorder in an effort to reach the noun
famous districts. These generals are sup
posed to be near Barrera, a point twelve
miles from the Lake of Valencia.
Guerillas In the service of the Govern
ment have captured and brought to Pres
ident Castro certain records and docu-
ments belonging to members of General
Matos' personal staff, as well as the
Generals personal correspondence. The
contents of these papers give evidence of
critical situation of the leaders of the
revolution. 1t Is difficult to understand
the apparent sudden and complete col
lapse Of the revolutionary movement.
But a few days ago the rebels seemed
to be upon the eve of victory, while to-
day their cause seems absolutely lost.
President Castro, having sent his men in
all directions to cut off the retreat of
the enemy. left here today for Caracas.
The Government soldiers who are fol-
lowing up the rebels scored their first
successes this morning by the capture of
General Ramon Luizi who was making
his way in the direction of Alta Gracia
with 800 rounds of ammunition and 1000
men to reinforce the revolutionlsts
From here President Castro goes to
Los Teques, which point was abandoned
by the rebels yesterday. From Los Te-
ques the President will go by rail to
Caracas, arriving there Sunday morning.
He will then take his place at the head
of the Government. Topographic COM
municatlon between La Victoria and Car
acas has been restored.

on,ortunitv of observing the actions OF
two white men and negro VINO were at
the station and she told the officers to-
dav that she was positive she could iden-
tifv the three men wherever she might
see them. The two white men were look
inr at a photograph and one OF them
said: well, we might as well BUY q
ticket" They purchased single ucket
to Waverly and this ticket. the nurse
says, she saw handed to the negro by
one OF the white men as they passed out
of the depot. although the white men
and the negro had previously Haiiiies'eu
no sign of recognition.
The negro took the same train that she
dii and she saw him alight at Waverly.
This places the negro in Waverly at s:lS
or about rhree-quarters of an hour be-
fore the assault upon Miss Morton was
committed.
Descriptions Important.
The descriptions Of the three men as
given by the nurses is considered import
ant. That of the colored man agrees
with the description Of the negro VINO
accompanied the man who pawned Miss
Morton's watch Monday morning.
An iron bar was found today at the
edge of Handyside pond in Waverly, TO
which. it Is claimed by some. the muir
derer of Saturday night went to WASH
his hands. The bar is two feet long ana
little rusty. 1t was on the edge OF
the pond and the drawing Off OF water
brought 1t to light.
During the afternoon, a Mrs. Sayers
from Watertown. called at the Cambridge
tail and told Sheriff Fairburn that she
wanted to see Allan G. Mason. because
she believed from the pictures which had
appeared in the newspapers that he was
the man who had ANNOYED her last sum-
mer in a library room In this city. Ma
son again was placed in line with other
inmates of the jail and with them was
subjected to rigid scrutiny. As in the
case of Nemser's attempt Of identihca-
ton, Mrs. Sayers was allowed to give
no sign or utter no word in the presence
of the men before her. but when she
returned to the sheriff's Office from the
Jail she declared that the fourth man In
line was the man who had annoyed her.
The fourth man vas Mason.
This alleged Identification by Mrs. Say
ers adds another feature to the case. as
it recalls another Jack the Slugger"
case in which John c. Soderquest was
convicted of assault with intent to kill
on Miss r. A. Racquette, August 80. In
the same library building referred to by
Mrs. Sayers. Soderquest was the janitor
at the building and for the crome the man
is now serving a sentence of seven years.
The belief was expressed at the time
that Soderquest pleaded guilty that he
was responsible for the many mysterious
assaults of young women In Cambridge
and Brookline who were beaten on the
head with some iron weapon just as
Miss Morton and Miss McPhee were.
State police are now investigating the
story Of Mrs. Sayers In comparison with
the more important details of the case.
