ROME, March 20-Manager Sbaretti, the
papal delegate to the Philippines, who is
on his way to the islands, will make brief
stop at Washington in order to consult with
the United States government In connection
with Philippine affairs.
The story that he is taking with him a
papal bull providing for the re-estab blish-
ment OF hierarchy is authoritatively de-
MED. The vatican authorities intended 10
hold the matter In allegiance until the situa-
tion in the Philippines becomes more set
tied. 1t is the vatican's desire to finally
adjust matters In the archipelago In Ac-
cordance with American views and inter-
ests. Therefore, It has been decided 10 ap-
point no more Spaniards among the new
bishops. AS a result OF this decision Man
ager NoEaleda, archbishop of Manila, now
here, has rendered his resignation and will
proceed to Spain. where he will hereafter
reside.

WILLEMSTAD, Island OF Curacao, March
20.--The Venezuelan revolution, headed by
General Matos, seems to be taking form.
Eight hundred revolutionists, under General
Penaloso, are besieging Carupano Ia sea-
port town in the state Of Bermuda) and the
revolutlonists under General Monogas have
surrounded Barcelona, the c. pital Of the

ter Of the interior. has been dispatched on a
special mission to Barcelona, but 1t is said
that he will arrive there too late.
General Rierck, who escaped the pursuit
Of the Venezuelan government troops near
Cumarebo, in the state of Falcon, is march
ing In the direction Of Tucacas, a seaport
town in the state of Lara. which place Is
to be attacked on land by his troops and
from the sea by the revolutionary steamer
Bolivar. also known as Libertador.
The Venezuelan government is sending
troops to El Hacha to intercept General
Riera and prevent the junction of his troops
with the revolutionists In the Barquisimeto
district. 1t is reported Rolando has landed
at Maturin, in the state Of Bermudez.
Rebels Cut the Cable.
The revolutionists have cut the cable to
Barcelona and consequently the Vene-
zuelean government is without news from
Carupano. The situation is said to be crit
ical for President Castro. The Venezuelan
feet is not in condition to pursue Bolivar
and the plans of President Castro to cap
ture II have failed.

Case.

ELIZABETH CITY, N. c., March 2O.-
Solicitor George Ward spoke for the state
today at the trial of James Wilcox, charged
with the murder Of Nellie Cropsey. He con-
tended thai the evidence Of the doctors
against drowning was conclusive. He re-
viewed the testimony OF the medical men
and asserted that the girl was murdered
and that Wilcox was guilty as charged
He said Wilcox had grown bitter at the
repulses he had received from Miss Crop
sey and that he had made up his mind
to win her back or kill her.
The argument was closed by e. F. AVID
lett, counsel for the defense. He reviewed
the entire evidence in detail:
He declared there was proof that the
girl was not drowned. If, however, she was
killed, he contended that the defendant had
nothing to do with It, He had neither the
motive nor the opportunity.
Judge Jones will charge the Jury tornor-

LAYS ALL BLAME ON GIRL
DIR. Gray Shifts Responsibility for
Alleged Murder to Miss
Irma Brown.

CHICAGO, March 20.-Dr. Robert e. GRAY
OF Garden City, Kan, blames the woman he
Is accused OF killing for his connection with
the case. All the suspicious circumstances
connected with the effort to shield Irma
Brown from disgrace, which resulted in his
being placed on trial for murder, the de-
fendant declared today on the stand were
suggested by the girl herself. It was at
her earnest pleading that he registered
with her at the Grace hotel as man and
wite, he said, 1t was because she refused
to go to the county hospital, fearing her
Chicago relatives would find her out, that
the treatment was done secretly at the
Veley hotel. II was her threat to commit
suicide II he did not permit her TO accom-
pany him to Chicago from Garden City and
her despairing tears that Induced the ac-
cused physician, according to his own story.
to undertake the dangerous task that has
resulted in such disaster.
Regarding the tunnel accident DR.. Gray
explained how Irma had asked to 20 for a
walk and wanted TO go through the La Salle
street tunnel, so that she could say when
she returned home that she had been under
the Chicago river.
Then came the alleged fall which brought
about Miss Browns death. In contradIc-
ton Of the testimony Of Miss Tedtord, the
nurse who attended Miss Brown, DR.. Gray
declared that the nurse was in the room ut
the critical time, but he did not believe
she saw all that occurred because he sent
her for some hot water and she was out OF
the room a few minutes.
The operation which became necessary a.
the result Of the fall he wanted Irma TO
have performed in hospital. but she hav-
ing received word that Chicago relatives
were looking for her. refused to go and the
work was accordingly dSne at the hotel.
Mrs. Huey was the woman who was search
ing for her at the time.
The defense did not get through with the
witness and he will continue on the stand
tomorrow.

LONDON, March 20.--Ogden's (limited).
as the local representatives Of the Ameri-
can Tobacco company, yesterday gave no
tice they would give their net profit and
$4,000 annually for the next four years as

AS cabled to the Associated Press from
London, March is, the Imperial Tobacco
company (the British combine) had issued

ing TO R50.0o0 cannot be compared with the
bonus the retailers will receive II they con-
tinue TO trade with the American amalga-
nation.
The American Tobacco company's bonus
scheme is the sensation OF the day In the
tobacco world of Great Britain. "Unparal-
leled, 'stupendous." amazing" are a few
Of the adjectives applied to this bombshell.
The anti-monopoly role assumed by the
American side has brought the adherence

kilograms from their Liverpool headquar-
ters, carrying the announcement of their
offer to every tobacco tradesman in En-
gland. The fact that Ogden's business in

the enormity OF the sum they are expected
to expend In bonuses.

their future action.
