Washington Letter.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WARRINGTON, D. g., Nov. 2G, 1903
There is deadlock on the question
of adjournment between the Senate
and the House, or rather the House
has prevented the Senate from ad
journing the extra session. which will
not be continued until December I,
when the regular session will begin.
The Cuban reciprocity bill was sent
to the Senate, and reported favorably
aud without amendment by the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, but III
was agreed to postpone the vote upon
it until December Is. The House
declared that Congress should not
adjourn without accomplishing the
object for which it was called ia extra
session, and as neither branch Of
congress can adjourn for more than
three days without the consent OF the
other, the Senate must remain in
session.
Speaker CannOn's frmness In re-
fusing to accede to the Senate's wish,
hut has the sympathy and support OF
the President. In order that the
House may get down to business, the
Speaker declares that he win announce
the committee assignments in a few
days and not wait until the beginning
of the regular session as he at first
intended. This will advance the
work Of the regular session at least
week. Several thousand bills have
been introduced ia the House and are
waiting to be referred to committees.
The preliminary sheets of the depart
lnents' estimates are arriving for the
Committee on Appropriations. The
country will no doubt applaud the
determination of the House to begin
work at once.
In considering the nomination OF
General Wood, the Senate Committee
on Military Affairs, has decided tn
send sub-committee to Cuba to take
testimony regarding the Generals
administration VI the island, The
Investigation is being carried on with
the utmost fairness to General Wood.
1t is said that the testimony Is re-
ceived as carefully as ii he were or
trial for his life. The chief charges
against him are that he accepted
present from gambling concern, the
Jai Alai, for granting them a ter
years concession In Cuba, that b
inspired a magazine article criticisint
General Brooks, his superior office
and predecessor as Governor General
aud that he influenced the courts t
bring about the conviction Of Majo
Rathbone Of fraud in the postal ser
vice. 1t is generally believed tina
the nomination will be confirmed b
the conimittee.
The republicans Of the Senate hav
opposed the resolution introduced Y
Senator Eewland, of Nevada, invi'
ting Cuba 70 enter the Union as
state with Porto Rico joined to 1t
a county. They argued that such u
invitation would be looked upon as
command and would expose TN

faith with Cuba, IN the declaratlo

Naturally, these youngsters, unre-

run amuck In the street of BARGE
Iona, one of the principal towns of
Venezuela, the other day, one of Cas-
tro's young Indian officers was asked
for a small coin by a little boy who
begged in the streets. He drew his re-
volver and shot the boy dead on the
spot.
Next day two boy officers were
walking along the street, when one
of them tainted the other with being
a bad shot. The latter lifted his car
bfne and fired at the head of a child
who was looking out of a top-story
window, killing 1t on the spot. Some
foreigners accused these officers to

they do such things in the streets of

imagine their behavior when they are

During the recent civil war in Co
lombia, when the government was very
hard pressed for troops, it was COM
mon practice to surround country
churches on Sunday and forcibly en-
list the entire. congregation, except
old people and infants unable to march.
The armies with which President
Castro has made his great fight against
the MatoS revolutioniStS In Venezuela
comprise large proportion of mere
boys, whose ages range as low as eight
and nine, and every company of his
soldiers has from dozen to twenty
women attached to it. Nhey are gen.
orally Indians or mulattos, and they
march with the baggage train, armed
to the teeth, when the troops are cam
paigning.
Such women always accompany a
Venezuelan or Colombian army into
the field, and make themselves useful
by supplying the troops with rum
while they are under fire, stealing pro-
visions for their bivouac, and tending
the wounded. On occasions, too, they
will take their place in the firing line
and fight as bravely as any man on
the field.
How the Army Marches Home.
When I was in Caracas last January,
Castro's army marched home in tri-
umph after defeating the revolutionists
a few days before Christmas.
There was a blare of trumpets. dis
cordant rattle of kettle-drums, an ear
piercing Shrek from the flies, and the
army swung round the corner and
marched up the street past my hotel.
First came the fife and bugle band,
composed of half a dozen ragged In
dian boys, blowing a triumphal march
for all they were worth. Behind them,
riding proudly on a stolen mule, a cop
per-colored general carried a huge
Venezuelan flag. it's gaudy strips of red.
blue and yellow Haunting proudly In
the sunlight.
He was dressed in pair of tattered
red pants" with broad gold stripe,
a blue service blouse like that of the
United States army. an old paln-leaf
hat with ribbon of the Venezuelan col
ors twisted round It, and a pair of al
pargattas-the native canvas sandal.
which exposes the toes and heels.
A Mauser rifle was slung over his
shoulder, an Andino machete, with a
gaily-colored scabbard hung on one
side and a brass-hilted regulation
sword on the other while the belt
around his waist contained a heavy
Smith & Wesson revolver and enough
cartridges for n Maxim gun.
The army followed in single file, gen.
erals and colonies marching along on
the tanks in generous profuslon.
There was a field officer to every half
dozen men. but you could hardly tell
the field officers from the rank and
file. It would be impossible 10 find q
