NO DELAY BY VENEZUELA
FIRST INsTALLMENT OF "HONOR
CLAIMS" PROMPTLY PAID.
Bowen Approved by the Castro
Government.

CARACAS, March 1.-THE Venezuelan
government accepts without reserve the
protocols signed by Minister Bowen and
the representatives of the powers at Wash
ington Proof of this was shown to-day
in the payment to the German minister of
the first installment. amounting to about
$4,000, of the $4,000 pledged to Germany
in satisfaction of that country's claims of
honor. Minister Won Peldram was con-
Quoted to the Venezuelan Foreign Office
by United States Charge d'Affaires Russell.
and the sum was paid out to the German
minister at 3 o'clock to-day.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Venezuela's s
promptness in meeting the first installment
of Germany's "honor claims" as stated in
the dispatch from Caracas, was source OF
great satisfaction to officials here. They
regarded it as evidence of Venezuela's s
sincerity. To Venezuela's plenipotentiary,
Mr.. Herbert w. Bowen, the news was most
welcome, as the payment of the money was
an Endorsement of his acts. Sir Michael
been in New York for some days. is ex-
pected to return to the city tonight. Later
i'm the week the instructions from the Brit
ish Foreign Office governing the future
action of the ambassador in the matter of
The Hague protocol are looked for, and
Mr. Bowen is anxious to begin work on
that instrument at once. He is more than
ever desirous that the settlement of the
question of preferential treatment of the
allied powers in the matter of the payment
of the claims against Venezuela shall go
to The Hague tribunal and is exerting
every effort against the blockading govern
ments taking up the question with Presi-
dent Castro for adjudication. :

two amendments on which the Democrats
agreed to act as a unit, and consideration
of 1t was begun early in the day, with the
view Of concentrating most of the debate
upon 1t. After debate the amendment was
defeated, 81 to q, strict party vote.
DANIEL MADt A SPEECH.
Senator Daniel then offered an amend
ment providing that the treaty should not
take effect until it had been approved by
Congress- The fact soon developed that
Senator Daniel had offered his amendment
for the purpose of making general speech
upon the treaty, and when the fifteen min
utes allowed to him for his speech on his
own amendment had expired and the
amendment was voted down, Senator Nor
gan presented four or five Of his amend
ments, each of which in turn was defeated,
but upon all of which Senator Daniel con-
tinued to speak. All told he spoke for about
an hour. His speech was an arraignment
of the Republican policy in pressing the
treaty with what he asserted was undue
haste. He referred TO the enormous ex-
nenditure that would be required to con-
struct the canal and charged recklessness
in rushing into such an enterprise as ne
declared was being done.
After Senator Daniel had closed several
other senators on both sides of the cham
ber addressed the Senate in fifteen minute
speeches for and against the treaty. When
at 445 D. m. il became apparent that the
fifteen-minute speeches had been concluded,
Senator Morgan surprised the Senate Dy
Tefraining from presenting any more indi-
vidual amendments and by presenting all
of the fifty which he had prepared in one
block. submitting them with the portions

Helena levee joins Crowley's ridge Is from
one to five feet under water and the water
is pouring in through a hundred small seep
holes that have appeared in the levee
There have been persistent rumors tonight
that the directors would cut the levee and
allow the water to come in gradually
rather than risk a break of the embank-
ment. which would let the water rush
through in torrents and perhaps destroy
hundreds of small houses. North Helena
is separated from the main residence por-
tion Of the town by the Walker-street
levee 1t is about six blocks wide and
three miles long and the only means Of
Transportation for those residents who have
not already moved out is by skiffs. Engi-
neer Purvis, who has been looking after
the Cotton Belt levees below this city, to-
night sent to Helena for forty men to work
on the breakwater at Westover. There is
not thought to be any danger there, how
ever, and no weak spots have been discov-
cred anywhere along the line. A very
mushy roadbed this afternoon caused a
wreck on the Helena and Jonestown branch
of the Valley road at Danforth. A passen-
ger train jumped the track, but no one was
seriously injured.

REVOLUTION in URUGUAY
EIGHT THOUSAND REBELS PREPAR-
ING TO ATTACK MONTEvIDEO.
Telegraph Wires Cut and Railway
Traffic StOpped-Outbreak Re-
garded as Serious.

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, March H.
Troops have been dispatched to various
points to check the revolution which has
broken out in the departments of Rivera
Flores and Maldonado and gunboat hav-
ing quantity of arms on board sailed at
noon to-day for Rocha. 1t is probable a
state of siege will be declared in the course
of the day. In the departments where the
revolution has broken out the white party
predominates. The telegraph wires have
been cut, no news is obtainable and stocks
have fallen heavily.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-News of a
revolution in Uruguay and conveyed to the
State Department to-day in a dispatch from
United States Consul Swan, at Montevideo,
is as follows: Revolution has broken out.
Railway destroyed. Eight thousand men
are camped outside, marshaling to attack
the city. Revolution is serious
Senior DIR. Luis Alberto de Herrera, as
sistant secretary and charge d'affaires of
the Uruguayan legation, was much sur
prised TO learn of Consul Swans cable
gram. His last advices from Montevideo
concerned the election and inauguration on
March 1 last of the new President, Senor
Jose Battle Ordonez, who succeeded Pres
ident Juan Cuestas. This ceremony passed
off quietly. President Ordonez is a mem
Der or the Red party, but since the fusion
of the Red and White parties some years
ago party lines have not been strictly
drawn. President Ordonez is described by
DR.. Herrera as a man Of exceptional abil-
ity and force, and at the time of his cleo
tion he was regarded as acceptable to both
parties. He is considered by some as too
impetuous. MY country is just now en-
joying an era of unparalleled prosperity
said DR.. Herrera tonight. "and / regret to
learn that friction has developed In three
departments. Eight thousand troops. how
ever, are not sufficient to menace Monte
video. which is a city of $4,000 inhabitants.
Furthermore, the government retains a
standing guard ut the capital of 1900 SOL
diers. well armed and equipped, and I do
not for an instant fear that the capital will
be taken"

DEED OF A CRAZY WOMAN
KILLED HER DAUGHTER AND HER
MOTHER In THEIR HOMES,


PENN YAM, N. Y, March lin a
frenzy Of mania Mrs. James Strowbridge, of
Guyanoga village, five miles from here,
to-day killed her daughter, aged twenty
six years. and her mother, aged eighty
years, and, after setting fire to the house
in which the bodies lay. deliberately en-
tered it and perished in the flames.
Exactly when or how the two women
were killed is unknown. The first intima-
tion the neighbors had of the tragedy was
this afternoon, when Mrs. Strowbridge's S
home was found to be on fire. and imme-
diately afterwards she was seen to set fire
to another house across the street in which
her daughter lived, and also to two barns,
in which there were eighteen head of cattle
and three horses. When a party of men
attempted to break open the barn to release
the animals Mrs. Strowbridge, who was
standing in front OF her blazing home
brandishing revolver. fired at them re-
peatedly. Several of the men made a rush
hoping to close with the mad woman and
disarm her, but she held them at bay with
the revolver. While they were hesitatins
she suddenly cut her throat. filled pail OF
water at the well, thrust a quantity OF
hay and straw into ii, and, placing the
whole mass on her head. rushed into the
blazing house, in which her charred body
and the bodies of her daughter and mother
were found after the fire had burned itself
out
The three women lived a hermit life
working on the farm like men and often
wearing mems clothing. They were sup
posed to have been well to do. Mrs. Strow-
bridge is believed to have gone suddenly
mad. For several days she appeared to be
acting strangely, but her method of life
was such that none Of the neighbors ever
had any communication with her. A suit
recently brought against Mrs. Strowbridge
for wages may have aggravated her
trouble. Several years ago the husband OF
Mrs Strowbridge is said to have been
driven from the farm, after he had made
over all his property to his daughter.

The lamp consists OF a glass Jar in which
there is a lining of saltpeter and gelatine,

DEED OF A JEALOUS MAN.


FINDLAY. o.. March ia double trag-
edy occurred at the Opp House here to-
night as a result of a quarrel between
Lewis Routson and his seventeen-year-o
wife Myrtle. which began this afternoon.
Routson entered a room at the hotel to-
night which was filled with guests at a
masquerade party. He fired three shots
from a 3S-caliber revolver, which scattered
the crowd. Then he walked to his mother
in-law, Mrs. John Opp, and fired point
blank at her. The bullet entered the left
side of her breast and came out at the
right side. Routson discovered his wife in
one corner of the room. and. placing the
revolver within two feet of her body, sent
a ball into her chest. smashing the breast
bone about six inches below her throat.
She cannot recover, although the elder
woman is not fatally injured. Routson then
telephoned for the police and was promptly
arrested
Jealousy is the alleged cause of the shoot
ing. The couple had been married year
