SHIPS ORDERED
TO VENEZUELA

Washington, June. 18.-Sailing or
ders issued to the Cincinnati and To
peka mentioned La Guaira specifically
as their destination, but the COM
manders were allowed to exercise dis
erection in preceding to other ports in
Venezuela where American interests
appear to be threatening. From cable
and mail advices received in reliable
quarters here it appears very probable
that the Topeka will proceed from La
Guaira up the OrinocO river where the
steamships of the Commercial COM
pany are practically in a state of
blockade owing to the activity of the
revolutionists. Mail advices May 81,
say Senior Farria president Of Vene-
zuelan state of Guynina, was captured
at his capital of Ciudad Bolivar, and
the revolutionists secured 1000 maui
ser rifles and 100000 rounds of am
munition, quick-firing gun, and two
breech-loading cannon. General Sa-
las, the commander defending the
government forces, made his escape,
boarded with his party two govern

ment gunboats and two ships OF a
trading company, sailed down the
Orinoco, and established the Temporal
ry capital at San Felix.
Advices also say General Matos, a
leading spirit of the revolution, is
marching on Caracas with 1000 men,
and all indications point to the over
throw of the Castro administration.
An interesting situation in connection
with the bombardment of Carupano
by government gunboats recently is
brought out in the advices received
yesterday. It appears the French
cruiser Suchet ana the German cru1s-
err Fake were both present. The FIR
ing had proceeded only short time
when the commanders of both vessels
sent word to tho commanders of the
Venezuelan gunboats that further
bombardment could take place only at
their own peril and by this threat fir
ing was Immediately silenced. This
information explains why the bonn
bardment begun with such gusto came
to naught.

SENATORS IN
CONFERENCE
MEETING TO DISCUSS CUBAN
RECIPROCITY.
ALL BUT SIX PRESENT
No Conclusion Reached, but Opinion
Generally Expressed That There Is
Little Possibility of Passing Such
Measure at This Session of Coz
qresS.

Washington, June 19.-The republi-
can senators held conference on the
Cuban reciprocity bill last night. Sen
ator Allison as chairman of the caucus
called the meeting to order. All the
republican senators, with six excep-
lions, were present. The six not pres
ent were Messrs. Depew, Dollive',
Frye, Hawley, Kearns and Simon.
Senator wellington of Maryland, wns
has not acted with the party for the
past two years, was also present
Senator Allison pleaded for harmony,
good feeling and a solid party front.
Senator Plat explained the stan1-
point of those who favor reduction or
the tariff on Cuban goods, saying ne
proposed reduction was in the direct
line of the policy which had been out
lined by Mckinley and as faithfully
PRESENTED by Roosevelt. He dwelt
somewhat on the necessity of preserV-
ing cordial relations with the Cuban
people and advocated the bill which
was Tuesday promulgated by the re-
publican members of the Cuban COM
mitee, which was the joint product OF
himself and Senator Spooner. Senator
Burrows presented the opposite view,
speaking for the beet sugar advocates.
He contended for regularity from ne
republican and protective standpoint
of the position of the beet sugar men
He said they were not opposed to doing
something for Cuba but did not De-
heve it necessary to reduce the tariff
for that purpose, or if necessary to
take that step that the entire bur-
den should fall on one industry OF
farming. He argued that beet sugar
men were the real protectionists.
The discussion continued until the
conference adjourned at 1915, to NEE:
again on adjournment of the senate to-
morrow afternoon. No conclusion was
reached, but the opinion was expressed,
even by those who would vote for the
reciprocity bill, that there was little
possibility of passing such a measure
at this session of congress. Seventeen
beet sugar senators were present ana
each made speech, saying he would
not support the Spooner bill or any
measure of that character.

A STORY OF AURELIEN scHoLL


A story of poor Aurelien Scholl, who
has just joined the majority, gives
good idea Of the caustic humor which
made him an oddity among French
writer's. At a celebrated cafe-not, I
think, the Maison Doree, though he
was at one time a great supporter of
M. Verdier's, alas! moribund estab-
lishment-he was offered Burgundy,
which was praised by the host as
"true velvet" but had in fact become
a little sharp with age. EYES," said
Scholl, after tasting it, "velvet, but
with pins in it," Soon after came a
Bordeaux, said on the same authority
to be 'the most generous wine in the
cellar" cit is" was this time the
verdict, "for it has given away all it's
good qualities" Characteristic,
think, but more scotch than French
Pail Mall Gazette.

Washington, D. c., June 18.-The re-
mitee on Cuban relations yesterday
finally agreed to the acceptance Of the
Spooner bill providing for reciprocity
with Cuba and decided to ask that a
conference of republican senators De
called for tonight to consider its
terms.
This conclusion was reached at Il
meeting of the republican members Of
the committee. After the meeting adj
lourned the text of the bill was made
public 1t is substitute for the house
ill and is as follows:
when the republic of Cuba shall
have enacted law or laws establi 51-
ing preferential rates of customs duties
ON any or all articles the growth, .Iro-
duction or manufacture of the United
States imported into Cuba which pref
erential rates shall, in the opinion of
the president of the United States,
constitute satisfactory equivalent for
the reduction hereinafter provided in
the rate of customs duties upon art1-
cles the growth, production or manu-
facture of Cuba imported into the
United States and he shall so declare
by proclamation thereupon and there
after so long as such preferential du-
ties shall be continued by the govern
ment of Cuba, not longer, however,
than five years, the duties levied, col
lected and paid upon such articles so
exported from Cuba to the United
States shall be 80 per cent. of the dll'
ties specified in the act entitled, AN
act to provide revenue for the goveI L
ment and to encourage the industries
of the United States approved July
"a, 1897, and any amendment thereof.
Provided, however, that it shall be the
duty of the president to thoroughly in
Vestigate through the diplomatic and
consular reports of the United States
In Cuba and by sucE other means as he
may deem necessary to employ for the
purpose whether the tariff concession,
hereinbefore provided upon articles the
growth, production or manufacture OF
Cuba substantially inures so far as the
articles Of sugar and tobacco are con-
cerned, to the benefit of the producers
of said articles in Cuba and if the pres
ident shall be satisfied from such n
vestigation that the substantial bene-
fit of said concession upon either OF
said articles is inuring to the purchas-
ers theI eof individual or corporate in
the United States, it shall be his duEy
to so declare by proclamation to that
effect and thereupon and thereafter ST
long as said conditions shall continue
there shall be levied and collected up
on such articles or that one of them AS
to which said conditions exist, the rate
of duty levied and collected by law up
on such article or articles coming into
The United States from other foreign
countries"

MITCHELL HAS PULLING AIR.
But General Strike Situation Is Un-
changed.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 18.-Because
the general manager did not discharge
five girls whose relatives are still at
work in the mines, the Wilkesbarre
Lace Mfg. Co., the largest in the
United States, was compelled to shut
down yesterday. Some thousands of
persons are affected. The shutting
down of the lace mill was the only i'm
portant development in the Wyoming
region yesterday. The general strike
situation remains unchanged. The
miners report that more men came out
and company officials, on he contrary,
claim hey are increasing their forces
around the collieries. There was a
mysterious air about strike headquar-
ters all day. Mitchell was unusually
reticent.
A number of men attacked a coal
and iron policeman in South Wilkes
barre last night and used him up
rather badly. Relief work among the
striking miners has been started in
several sections of the region.
