SUNK BY REBEL SHIP.
Venezuelan Gunboat Zunbndor Said
to HIVE Met Libertndor
in Battle.

Willemstad, Curacao, Jan. 13.-It is
reported that the Venezuelan revolu-
tionary steamship Libertador, former
ly the Ben Righ, which carried the
Matos expedition to Venezuela, has
sunk the Venezuelan gunboat Zumba-
dor off the coast of this island. The
Libertador carries several modern
rifles. Before she left Fort de France,
Martinique, armor plates were placed
on her to protect her vital parts. 1t
is known that the Libertador has
been near the coast of Curacoa for
several days. She successfully land
ed the Matos expedition, together
with munitions of war, between Evela
and Puerto Cabello, on the Venezue-
Ian coast.
1t is reported here that British war
vessels have received instructions to
seize the Venezuelan revolutionary
steamer Libertador, formerly the Ban
Righ, if they meet her flying the Brit
ish flag and bearing her original
name. President Castro's warships,
the Restaurador, Miranda and Gen.
Crespo, which were sent in pursuit of
the Libertador, have been unable to
overhaul her. They always arrive at
some place on the coast just after the
Libertador has left it.
If the government succeeds in OBJ
tanning possession of the arms and
ammunition landed by the Libertador
the insurrection will be crushed, Tor
during the last fortnight the govern
ment of President Castro has be-
come stronger than ever. Great prep.
arations are being made by Castro
to meet the expected general upris-
ing, and the result is said to be very
doubtful, although the revolution is
popular in Venezuela.

PORTO RICO TO PROSPER.
Chairman Rowe Says That Revision
of the Laws VIII Greatly Bene-
fit the Islanders.

New York. Jan. Al. S. Rowe. chair
man of the law revision commission of
Porto Rico, arrived from San Juan on
the steamship Ponce. The codes pre-
pared by this commission are being
made the main subject of discussion
at the session of the legislative as
sembly of Porto Rico, which opened
on the 1st of January. Speaking of the
work of the session. Mr.. Rowe said:
THE attitude of the legislative assembly
toward the codes submitted by the commits
sion demonstrates the widespread desire
to secure, as soon as possible, the full
benefit of American institutions, The codes
will bring the legal systems of Porto Rico
into close harmony with the general prin-
ciples of law prevailing in the states and
territories of the union and will, to that
extent, encourage the influx of American
capital to the island.
THE feeling of buoyancy which now pre-
walls throughout Porto Rico stands in
marked contrast with the depression of
two years ago.
"A final element of strength is added
TO the situation by the fact that both po-
litical parties have come to the support
of the administration"

wARSHIPS TO VENEZUELA.
United States to Have Strong Force
Ready In Case of Cnstro's
Downfall.

Washington, Jan. lit is prob
able that Admiral Higginson, with
his flagship Kearsarge, and several
other vessels of the North Atlantic
squadron, will shortly repair to
Venezuelan waters, making his head
quarters at La Guaira. The ships
which Admiral Higginson will take
with him on this cruise will have an
unusually large complement of ma
rines aboard. These precautions are
taken, not with any offensive intent
towards Venezuela, but merely to
guard against an outbreak of an.
archy and rioting in the event that
the revolutionists should prevail over
Castro's forces in the field. Owing
to Admiral Higginson's high rank he
naturally would command any joint
operations that might be incident to
the landing of naval forces of vari'
Gus nationalities.

cidentally dropped lamp. A few
minutes after the fire began there
was a loud explosion that blew out
the front of the store and hurled
some of the contents of the windows
into the middle of the street. Plate

| Broadway were shattered and the re-
port of the explosion was heard two
blocks away. The flames involved the
building in short time. The family
living in the rear fiat barely escaped

awakened, but before they could
reach the only stairway leading from
their rooms the fire had undermined
the floor in the hallway, and it col
lapsed, carrying them down into n
mass of flames. Their charred bodies
were found at eight o'clock, four
hours after the firemen had extin-
guished the flames. The body of the
mother and baby were found togeth-
er, the little one tightly clasped in its
mothers arms. Pearlstcin's body was
found close to that of his wife. He
also held one of the children in his

Mr.. sAscocK.s BILL.
It would Put MANY steel Products ON
the Free List.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Representa-
tive Babcock, of Wisconsin, on Tues
day introduced bill placing num-
Der of articles in the iron and steel
schedule on the free list and mate
rally reducing the duties on other
articles throughout the iron and
steel schedule.
Mr.. Babcock made the following
statement summarizing the measure;
"The bill affects only the iron and
steel schedule of the Dingley act. 1t
differs from the one | presented last
session in several important features
This bill has been drawn with care
full attempts to meet present condi-
tions intelligently. 1t is an effort
to maintain the theory of protec-
ton in accordance with the best re-
publican traditions, and to prevent
the party from becoming RESPONSE
BILE, by non-action, for schedules that
have been outgrown by changed con-
ditions and are made use of by COM
binations to cXtort unreasonable
prices from domestic consumers.
"The bill represents the views OF
many intelligent men who are them
selves interested in the steel indus
/ try and who are experts in all mat
ters touching upon this subject.
81 have placed the heavy products
|, of the furnace on the free list, such
as iron and steel in slabs, blooms,
loops, beams, girders, joists, and all
structural iron or steel, boiler and
ship plates, steel rails, steel ingots,
billets and bars.
"The steel and iron schedule is
very complicated, and the placing OF
these articles on the free list re-
guired the readjustment of nearly all
of the paragraphs in schedule c.
After numerous conferences with
iron and steel manufacturers these
paragraphs have been amended upon
strictly protective lines; that is, each
article is given full protection as
compared with the cost of produce
ton in other countries, which still
leaves margin in our favor"
