Venezuelan Government Commander
Fatally Shot in an Engagement
with the Insurgents.
Followers Become Panic Stricken and
Retreat in All Directions before

Situation of the Government in Vene-
zuela is Again Critical as Result
OF Disaster.

Port of Spain, Trinidad Island, April
25.-On Tuesday morning the Venezu-
elan government troops, numbering
1900 men, under General Ramon Cas-
tillo, attacked the revolutionists be-
tween San Antonio and Gunanaguana,
distant about 80 leagues from Cumana,
and situated in mountainous district
well known to the revolutionists. Gen
eral Castillo personally led the ad-
vance government guard, composed Of
Andinos' veteran troops. One hour
after the opening of the action General
Castillo was wounded: Immediately
after this all the recently recruited
Venezuelan soldiers disbanded, desert
ing in all directions, and eventually
reaching San Antonio. The govern
ment officers tried to rally their troops,
but their efforts were in vain and end
ed in a complete retreat of the Vene-
zuelan soldiers.
The whereabouts of General Esca-
lante, VINO was second in command of
the government army, was unknown
when this dispatch was forwarded.
General Castillo died later from the
wounds received in the engagement.

MAY FIGHT THE COMBINE
British Admiralty. Investigating the
Proposed Transatlantic Steam
ship Merger.
Important Legal Questions Involved
in the Deal from the British
Point of View.
Position of the Admiralty Causes De
lay in Closing the Deal with
Certain Lines.

London, April 25.-In the house OF
commons the secretary of the admir-
atty, Hugh o. Arnold-Forster, replying
to a question, said the admiralty was
considering the whole matter of ship
subsidies, with the view of defining the
rights of the admiralty in the event Of
contingencies arising, such as the sug-
gested shipping combine. When the
present form OF agreement was settled
upon no trade combinations under for
eign control were contemplated; but
the admiralty had appointed a commit
tee to consider and report on the pur-
pose and form of future subsidy agree
ments. The admiralty, in the mean
while, had made arrangements with
the White Star line which preclude the
possibility of any of their armed cruis-
ers or merchant steamers being trans
ferred to foreign flag without the
consent of the admiralty during the
unexpired portion of the admiralty
agreements. Important legal points
were involved, including the questions
whether, in the event of war, there was
anything to prevent these companies
from substituting foreign for the
British flag at short notice and wheth
er the admiralty has the means Of en-
forcing Its right of pre-emption or hire
in such case. All such points would be
carefully considered and the admiral
tvs rights would be ascertained.
Replying to question in the house
of commons as to whether the board
of trade had received information that
several steamship lines had been SOLD
to an American company with it's pril
cipal place of business in the United
States and whether the vessels so sole
would retain the British flag the pres
ident of the board of trade, Gerald Bal
four, said he had no information tina
the sale had been accomplished.
the vessels had been sold they woult
pass to another flag.
1t is said that the present uncertain
position OF the Cunard and othe
steamship companies in standing ou
from the Atlantic combine is to some
extent due to the action of the admir-
atty, as outlined by Mr.. Arnold Forster
in the house of commons.

AFFECTS PACIFIC LINES.
Hill Steamers to Work in Connection
With Atlantic Combine.

New York, April 25.-One of the
leading spirits in the international
steamship combination organized by
j. P. Morgan has authorized denial
of reports that pressure is being
brought to bear to force the Compagnie
Generate Trans-Atlantique into the
combination. 1t is admitted that nego-
tiations have occurred between Mr.
Morgan and representatives of the
French line, but they have not advanc-
ed to that stage where they can be
publicly discussed.
1t has been suggested that the new
combine will probably enter into close
relations with the Pacific steamship
lines controlled by ]. J. Hill, thus ef
fecting a worldwide community of
steamship interests" with resultant
increase of business to the transconti-
mental railroad lines. Such suggestions
are said to be premature but it is we'll
known that the Morgan and Hill inter-
ests in the steamship business no less
than in several railroad schemes are
practically Identical.

FUNSTON'S STATEMENT.
Explains His Remarks in Reference
to Senator Hoar.

Denver, April 25.-General Frederick
Funston is credited with having die
tated a statement concerning the order
OF President Roosevelt directing him
to cease further discussion of the Phil
ippine question and expressing regret
at FunstOn's criticism of United
States senator, as follows:
What l said at the banquet of the
Colorado Sons of the American Revo-
luton last Saturday night made a
distinction between two classes of peo-
pie; the first, the demagogues who did
not believe what they were saying; the
other, the class of people to which the
senior senator from Massachusetts be-
longs, who did believe what they were
saying, were perfectly sincere, but
were suffering from overheated con.
sciences; that is, they were too sin.
cere.
Instead of criticizing Senator Hoar
intended to pay him a compliment on
being so sincere. l intended to keeL
off the subject entirely. but General
Hale's introduction was such that il
compelled me to say something on the
Philippines war.
"In regard to my leave of absence in
order that l might attend the Middle
sex club banquet at Boston I made the
application one evening, but depart
ment matters came up next morning
that made it impossible for me to leave
here. Therefore, telegraphed with
drawing my application made the
night before and before the war de
partment had time to act upon it,
Asked if he would reply to some per
sonal attacks that have appeared il
print against him the general said:
| II have nothing to retract, but
| can't refer to these things without m,
blood boiling, and I have. therefore
concluded that the safest policy is t.
| avoid the subject. I have had my sa.
and the people know mysentiments.
have no desire to harp upon them.'

MILLS REMAIN CLOSED.
No Cause for Disorder in the Paterson
Strike.

Strike.
Paterson, N. j., April 25.-The oper-
ators of silk dyehouses made no gen.
erdal attempt to resume during the
morning and no disorder occurred in
any of the strike districts. Many of
the striking helpers appeared in the
vicinity of the shops, which they quit
ted to enforce their demand for high
er pay, but they made no demonstra-
tion of any kind. The largest crowd
gathered about the hall at Riverside
used by the strikers, where meeting
had been called for 10 o'clock. They
stood about discussing the situation
and were orderly. The police reserves
assembled at 6 o'clock and were placed
in positions to be quickly available for
any service that might be required.
Reports given out at police headquar-
ters were that the strikers were en-
tirely orderly and that no further
trouble was anticipated.
The employers have not yet clearly
Indicated their policy toward the strike
and strikers. It was expected that they
would meet during the day for further
discussion and also that they would
discuss the demand with shop commit
tees representing strikers.
At the works of the Widemann Silk
Dyeing and Finishing company it was
stated that 40 men were at work and
that some of them had come in and re.
sumed their places despite threats that
they would be killed if they did So
Strikers were watching the plant and
there was some fear that the day
might see another clash there. The
police have been cautioned to exercise
the greatest care and to use their re-
volvers only when a grave danger of
personal injury or to protect others
from serious attack.
The strikers made an effort to in.
duce the employees of Jordan & Sons
velvet dyeing plant, Little Falls, to join
with them. The strikers threatened tc
return later in the day and force the
suspension of the plant. The firm ap
pealed to the sheriff for protection

CONFEDERATE PARADE.
Veteran Remnant of the Southern
Army in Line.


Dallas, Tex, April 25.-With their
blood stirring to the same airs by
which they had marched and fought
two score years ago the veteran rem
nant of the Confederate armies repre-
sented at the Dallas reunion marched
through the streets of the city during
the day, hailed by wildly cheering
multitude.
The day was holiday, public build
ings and stores generally being closed
during the hours of the parade. Thou
sands of visitors, coming for the sole
purpose of seeing the old soldiers,
were added to the throng already on
feeble to march, found places along the
screeched their famous rebel yells
The start was made at May and Aus
tin streets. Major General Van Zandt,
marshal of the day, and staff, preceded
by mounted police to clear the way,
led the parade. Following him came
General Gordon and staff The erect
slender figure. the alert eyes and the
gray pointed beard of the commander
in-chief were we'll known to most of the
spectators. The location of his car
riage, according to one observer, could
almost be told by the increase of the
volume of cheers progressing like
wave along with him. Next came dis
tinguished guests and then the veter-
ans. The latter were arranged ac-
cording to departments, as follows:
Virginia, Tennessee, Forrest cavalry
corps. Dallas artillery, Transmississip-
pi, Missouri, Arkansas, Indian Terri
tory. Oklahoma Territory, Pacific divi-
sion, Northwest division and Texas.
Behind the old soldiers came the mem
bers of the Sons of Confederate Veter-
ans.
