Recruits and Lenders Arriving.
 President Castro's Kindly Act.
 CARACAS, Venezuela, Dec. 15.-A note from the commanders of the allied Anglo German fleet which the Vene- zuelan government refused to receive at La Guayra was sent to United States Minister Bowen, at Caracas, and forwarded by him to the proper gov ernment official here. The note is in the name of Great Britain and Ger many. It requests all Venezuelan ships after the lapse of five days to re- frain from sailing from the port of La Guayra until the present difficulties are over.
 The question what right Great Brit ain and Germany have to coerce Eene- zuela without declaring a blockade is being asked on all sides here.
 .'El Mocho'' Hernandez and. certain other revolutionary leaders have left afaracaibo for Curacao on their way to Caracas. Hernandez is probably the most popular. of the revolutionary lead CTS. President Castro has kept him inn prisoned at Maracaibo for several years past. The news of the s1elling Of the for tress and custom house at Puerto Ca bello by the British cruiser Charybdis and the German cruiser Vineta reached Caracas at late hour last night. 1t caused considerable excitement, and in spite of the preventive measures taken by the police of Puerto Cabello trouble is feared at that port.
 President Castro learned yesterday morning of the illness of Mime. von Pilgrim-Baltazzi, and i'll the afternoon, accompanied by his wife and a number of Venezuelan officers, he called at the German legation. Here the visitors were received by Unised States Minis. ter Bowen, who escorted them to the room of the invalid
 President Castro greeted Mime. von Pilgrim Baltazzi and spoke to her of her husband i'll friendly way, saying he held the German envoy ill high re gard The president Of Venezuela pro- duced favorable impression upon Mme von Pilgrim Baltazzi, and before lie left the German legation he offered her the hospitality of the Yellow House, the capitol at Caracas
 The statement that Italy. through her legation here, is to demand payment of her claims against Venezuela has been confirmed.
 The arrival of the United States gun boat Marietta at La Guayra was due to rumor that United States Minister Bowen was in danger. There has been no prOund for sl1ph a r.l1nlor and tha

presence of the Marietta was not re- quested by Mr. Bowen.
 The situation here continues to be critical, and there is much excitement among the German residents of Cara cas, many of whom have called at the American legation to seek refuge there.
 The people of Caracas are astonished that the government at Washington re mains silent in spite of the recent act Of the allied fleet.
 The enlistment of Venezuelan sol diers continues. Two thousand men from the interior reached Caracas Sat urday.
 The boycotting of British and Ger slan goods continues. It is reported that ninety Germans living in the country have offered to support the Venezuelan government against Germany.

Patron-I thought I told you to paint me sitting on the porch of my house. You've painted the porch all right, but there's nobody on it.
 Artist-Of course not. The paint ing represents an afternoon view. The sun would then be on the front of the house, and of course you wouldn't be sitting in the sun. The picture is true to art and to nature. You are supposed to be sitting on She lawn at the back. Stray Stories.

.ItaIy,a Claims.

ROME, Dec. 15. Italy's claims against Venezuela are for damages sus- tained by Italian. subjects during the Venezuelan revolutions of 1898 and 1900. When Great Britain and Germa- ny agreed upon common course of ac- tion toward Venezuela, Italy thought to join them. Two Italian men-of-wal' which left Otranto with secret orders, supposedly for Tripoli or Morocco, were in reality destined for Venezuela. Other warships have been ordered to Venezu- elan waters.

oned at Venice. They will be immedi-
ately handed over to the United States
consul, from whose charge they will be
transferred to the Chicago, which IS

prisoned at Venice shall be released to-
day or tomorrow, conditioned upon the
payment of civil damages amounting to
81, 900
American naval officers this afternoon

4GUIN4LDO IN THE SENATE.
Special Subject of Dtscussion-Hefusa
to Call Him as Witness.

Washington, May 1.-Aguinaldo was
the special subject Of discussion in the
senate to-day. AS soon as the Philip
pine government bill was taken up Mr..
Carmack of Tennessee resumed his
crit icism of the Philippine committee
because of its refusal to call Aguinaldo
and other FiliDinos as witnesses. He
maintained that as reflections by wit
nesses had been cast on the character
of Aguinaldo he ought to be permitted
'in all decency" to defend himself.
MI Carmack's contention was sharp
ly combatted by Mr.. Foraker of Ohio,
Mr.. McComas of Maryland and Mr..
Burton of Kansas. Mr.. Culberson of
Texas in support of a statement by Mr.,
Carmack that the war department sup
pressed information and falsified the
Philippine situation presented a letter
from the secretary Of war which he
thought was proof of the Tennessee
senator's assert ION. The secretary
stated in the letter that it was not
practicable to supply the information
requested because no special account
was kept OK Philippine war expenses
and it would require the service of a
large force of clerks to work out the
desired.

FIRST SALE OF SHADE TOBACCO.
Rather n disappointment to the Con-
necticut Growers.

Hartford May 1.-The first sale of
shade-grown Sumatra tobacco leaf was
held at Foot Guard hall in this city to-
day, all the shade-groWn tobacco raised
in the Connecticut River valley in the
season of 1901 having been brought in
by agreement of the growers to be sold
by auction. There We're dealers and
manufacturers present from New York,
Chicago and Boston. and there was
great interest In the sale, as 1t was ex-
pected it would fix the market value of
this tobacco, which before had not been
in the market. The prices varied from
$3.50, the highest, to twenty cents for
the lowest, the leaf of the low priced
bales being dark and short. The bid
ding at the start was not lively, nor
did it gain as the sale progressed. The
fine leaf, of good color, well sorted to
large sizes, brought the best prices, al
though it did not average over 81. In
deed, much of the crop sold was at a
less price Some growers Withdrew
their lots when the prices became ap-
parently fixed, and will hold for bet
ter rate, which they feel sure will come.
The general feeling is that the sale was
not a success in the way in which it
was carried on, and that the growers
could have made better figures at pri-
vate sale. The opinion of the experts
who attended the sale was to the effect
that the prices were fairly good, but no
one was enthusiastic. The general opn-
ion seems to be that if the sale had been
in New York there would have been
better prices.

UNREST IN RUSSIA.
Its Seriousness shown by Assent bly, OF
OHfcinIs at KharIsoT.


st. Petersburg, Wednesday, April go.
The seriousness of the situation in
South Russia is apparent from the fact
that Dragomiroff, governor-general Of
Kieff; Pocarcoff, vice-director of the
department of police, and other officials
have Joined Won Plehwe, the minister
of the interior at Kharkoff.
The Voronej suger refineries especial
ly have suffered from the outbreak dur
ing which the Duke of Oldenbourg's es-
tate was dismantled. 1t now develops
that the agitators who are chiefly re-
sponsible for the spread of the revolu
tionary movement among the Hungary
peasants used a curious political canard
to bring the former serfs and the land
owners into collision. A rumor was in
dustriously circulated that the czar
had ordered the lands of the mobiles to
be divided among the emancipated
serfs The peasants thereupon formed
committees, under the commune Off
cials, which waited on the land owners
and ordered them to vacate the land
withheld from the peasants, chose their
own agents and proceeded to distribute
the land and movables, leaving the no.
blemen from fifteen to twenty acres
each. The proceedings, which were or
derly, were conducted with the utmost
gravity until the authorities interfered.
Thereafter there was riot, arson and
devastation.
In military circles it is believed that
the army manoeuvres which have been
planned to take place in Orel and
Koursk cannot occur, owing to the dis
turbed state of those governments.

ADMIRAL REMEY,.S OPINION.
United States Cannot Withdraw from
Philippines.

New York. May Rear Admiral
Remey, who arrived here to-day on the
Brooklyn after tour of sea duty in
the far East, was interviewed on the
condition Of the Philippines He said:
"Of these stories of alleged crueltes
and the subsection of the natives to the
so-called water cure / have no per-
sonal knowledge.
Concerning general conditions in the
islands General Chaffee told me before
/ left that things were progressing sat
isfactoriy-slowly but surely-and that
pracification was only a matter Of time
Talk of the withdrawal of the United
States from the Philippines is based on
an inaccurate and incomulete knowt-
edge OF conditions out there This
country could not withdraw. Chaos
would be the result. My observations
have convinced me that the natives are
not capable of self government yet.
They need a guiding hand. and now
that we have undertaken the task we
cannot for the same of humanity with
draw until the work is completed .
The crew and the marines of the
Brooklyn assembled on her deck late
to-day and presented to Rear Admiral
Remey loving cup. The vessel is Of
silver and lined with gold It stands
eighteen inches in height The presen-
tation speech was made by John Ma
son, a small apprentice boy, who thank
ed the admiral for his kindness to the
crew under him. The admiral was very
much affected and could say but little
in reply.

CONTENTION OF WOMEN's CLUBS
Question of Unseating Mrs. Roberts
SuueIched i'm Utah.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 1.-The for
NAL opening of the national convention
of women's clubs this afternoon was
markedly brilliant. The Simpson Au-
ditorius was embellishsd with $4,000 cal
la lilies and was crowded with repre-
sentative American women.
The opening day was otherwise dis
tinguished by two separate questions
which would have developed into sem
sations had they reached the conven-
ton One of them had to do with
turning down a delegate from a secret
society. The other, which concerned
the possible unseating of Mrs. Roberts,
of Salt Lake City, wife of the former
congressman from Utah, in the event
that she should try to appear as a del
egate, was squelched in it's native
state.
Mrs C. Fl. Mcmahon, of Salt Lake
City, delegate from the p. e. o. chap
ter in that city, applied for admission
to the general federation and received
her credentials. But at the last minute
it was discovered that secret societies
were not admissible. To-day Mrs. Nc
Mahon withdrew anlicably on being al
lowed a seat with no vote Mrs. Anna
West, one of the leaders in Massachu-
sets, denies that Mrs. Ruffin. of the
Woman's Era club, Boston, will come
TO The convention.
After invocation addresses of well
come were delivered by Governor Hem
ry 7. Gage, Mayor M, P. Snyder and
others. Mrs. Lowe responded in a gra-
cious manner Greetings from frater-
nal delegates followed. reception to-
night concluded the exercises of the
first day.

Conductor Orpha H. Shaner and James

nounced to Judge Kimbal that after

colleague from Mississippi, who, with

explained that Mr. Money had been
confined to his room since Saturday
and was threatened with pneumonia.
Mr.. McLaurfn thought it was "unnec-
essary to state the cause of the trou-
ble." He produced a physician's certi-
ficate dated yesterday addressed to
whom it may concern, setting forth
that Senator Money was suffering from
congestion of the lungs and confined to
his room and bed, and it would be five
or six days before he could leave his
house All he wanted, said Mr.. Nc
Laurin, was to relieve Senator Money
from further prosecution in this case
for any alleged offsnses charged against
him.
The court stated that the only point
was as to the power of the district at

cined to sustain, but he finally agreed
to postpone announcing his conclusion
until Tuesday morning.
