REVOLUTION IN VENEZUELA.
pTrouble Has Broken Out Afresh in
Past Five Days.

WILLEMSTAD, Island OF Curacoa
March 22-During the past five days the
revolution In Venezuela has broken out
almost everywhere. The government can
not control the country east Of Cumana
Barcelona is still besieged by the revolu-
ticnists and Carupano is partially In their
power.
The mission Of Minister Velutini to BARGE
Iona has not been successful and he is re-
turning tomorrow to the capital.
General Estralante, the governor of Cara
cas-, with 1900 men, will replace him at
Barcelona.
President Castro has sent First Vice Pres
ident Gomez. with 1900, against the
revolutionists under General Riera, who is
in the vicinity of Capadare. in the state Of
Falcon. Second Vice President Ayala who
had previously been sent against Riera, re-
turned to Caracas without vanquishing the
revolutionary general.
1t Is believed that If the revolutionists
win one important battle all Venezuela will
rise against the government Of President
Castro. The latter is recruiting day and
night, and every man and boy procurable is
being pressed into the service. The VIII
lagos are deserted and the negroes and In
dians have sought refuge in the woods, in
the hope Of escaping recruiting officers.

PREVENTION OF SMOKE
MR.. HARRIES REPLIES TO
HEALTH OFFICER WOODWARD.
Takes Exceptions to Recent Report on
Pending Legislation-Indulg
in Comparisons.

George II. Harries. vice president of the
Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany. has written a letter to DIR. W. {.
Woodward, the health officer, regarding the
recent report of the latter to the Commits
sioners regarding pending anti-smoke legis-
lation. Gen. Harries says. in part:
I'm connection with your report upon Ii.
r. bill 11S49-a legislative proposition which
is not devoid of the human element-you
quoted from a letter written by me to you
as long ago as July 10. 1901. Through what
was doubtless an inadvertence the date OF
the letter in question was not given. and
as a result there may easily be in circula-
tion impression wholly erroneous. When
l said to you that We We're eduipping our
central power plant as to bring about
smokeless condition | had no idea that the
authorities would insist upon literal and
impossible compliance with the terms of
statute that cannot reasonably be enforced.
Statement Criticised
You say that the practicability of Sc
curing heat and power without dense or
thick black or gray smoke, as required by
the law now in force, is demonstrated
daily at a number Of places, among them
being the District building, an apartment
house and hotel. The fact is that l have
In my possession ample and recent testi-
breaking smoke from the chimney Of the
District building, and much more Of equal
1y precise evidence against the L street
pumping station and the workhOuse build
ings-all under the complete control of the
District Commissioners
For the emission of black dense gray
smoke from the chimneyS Of either of the
work houses or the District building little
excuse can be offered if your theories are
correct and the law which you defend is
just. AS a matter Of fact the complete
elimination Of smoke Is almost impossible,
except under laboratory conditions.
Efforts to Comply With Law.
1--WE have already diminished the smoke
emission at our main plant more than 90
per cent and when the work of installing
smoke-preventing devices has been conf
pleted We expect to diminish the volume
of smoke emission fully So per cent. We
have done and are doing everything hu-
manly possible to be in accord with the
law and with the sentiment which is be-
hind the law. We deem that to be our
duty. We are also engaged in the opera
ton of quasf-publc functions under our
charters. That also is our duty. To eX-
pect Of us this latter thing and at the same
time to insist upon it that the stacks Of our
1900 horsepower plant shall emit more
smoke than is created by the operation of
a fifty horsepower plant is to expect the
unreasonable and the impossible

ers. were the main sufferers by deceptive
goods. The hearings will be resumed next
