Turkey by Russia in connection with
the. assassination. Aug. Z. of Nj. Rost-
kovOsld, the Russian consul at MOnas-
tir The fact that Russia is about to
make a naval demonstration in Turk
ish waters has been KEEP a profound
secret here, the public being entirely
ignorant of the Russian movement.
The notification received here Of the
sailing Of the squadron was an UnWel-
come surprise to the Turkish govern
ment, which had pretended to believe
that the ROstkovoski Incident had been
closed with the punishment of the
guilty parties.
The most recent advices received here
from Monastir were forwarded Sunday
night and announced that the fighting
between the insurgents and Turkish
troops in the vicinity of Krushevo con-
/ tinued, and that many refugees from
neighbOring villages had congregated
at Monastir. Several villages inhab-
| tied by Greeks, il vas added, had been
set on fire by the insurgents.
According to advices received at one
| of the foreign embassies at CONSTANT
/ nople no less than 500 Mussulmans
| have been massacrad throughout the
/ district of MOnastir by insurgents,
/ whose movements continue 10 gain
ground Enmer Rushdi Pasha, who is
I nOminally in command of the Turkish
/ troops operating IN the Monastir dis

| forts to suppress the insurrectiOn by
/ the fact that the instructions he re-
! ceives from here are constantly chang

| dertaken a counter order from the pal
ace alters the whole situation. The
! Turkish cOmmissariat department is i'm
a wretched condition. The troops at
| Monastir. for instance, have not been
served with ratiOns of meat for six

The insurgent bands in the vilayet
or Adrlanople are also active. One
band recently captured detachment
| of sixty Turkish soldiers near Haskoi

Twenty-fOur battalions of reserves
/ in the vilayet of Anatolia have been

The repeated attacks made by the

Turkish authorities have compelled the
railroad Officials to order, in spite of the
protests Of the military commanders. a
suspension of traffic OF the SaIonica

REIGN OF TERROR PREVAILS AT
CIUDAD BOLIVAR.

DORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Aug. IS.
Authentic information was re-
ceived this morning announcing
the imprisonment of French, Ger
man and Italian merchants at CT
udad Bolivar, Venezuela (Which
port was recently recaptured from
the rebels by President CastrO's
trOOps) for refusing President
CastrO's demand for the payment of
taxes already paid 70 the de facto gov
eminent. President Castro demands
the payment of arrears for the period
of occupation Of Ciudad Bolivar by the
revolutionary government. The amount
demanded exceeds 500, 900. The mer-
chants refuse to recognize President
Castro's decree abolishing Ciudad Boil
iyar as a port of entry and decline to
ship goods via Carupano.
The Venezuelan gunbOat Miranda
went 10 the district of NutTias, exact
ing from the merchants forced contri-
buttons and fines amounting to another
$50 900. The goods imported during the
revolutionary regime were confiscated
and double duties were Imposed.
II IS reported that President Castro
has threatened to annihilate the COM
merce and expel the foreign commu-
nity of Guayana, on the OrinocO. A
reign Of terror prevails throughout the
district owing to the eXtortion, threats
and barbarities of the party in power
The entire region OF the OrinocO teens
with products accumulated during the
past two years, for which there are nc
adequate shipping facilities.
The native and German firms at Car
acas appear to be seeking to control
the entire Orinoco import trade. There
is no money in the Orinoco country
and the distress is very great. Al
the American river boats and interests
up the OrinocO are at a standstill, be-
ing unable to move in consequence Of
President Castro's determination to de-
stroy the transhipment trade in Amer
lean and European goods between
Trinidad and Oripoco river country.

Senator Laybourn Proposes
Constitutional Amendment
Which Will Permit Rele-
cation of Cumbersome and
Expensive Relic of Medic
val Legal Ceremony.

Abolition of the grand jury system
IS the object Of a constitutional amend
ment proposed by Senator George r.
Laybourn, Duluth.
Senator Laybourn has shone as the
moving spirit in all the important leg
lslatlon enacted or attempted in the
last half dozen years. The Legislatures
cannot abolish the grand jury system.
out II the people can be induced to
vote on the question, 1t is generally
conceded that Senator Laybourn will
nave accomplished his great legislative
work.
Is Organic Law.
Article of the constitution provides
that no person shall be held to an
sWer for criminal offense without an
Indictment by the grand jury" Mr..
Laybourn proposes to strike the grand
jury provision out and substitute the
words, without due process Of law
The legislature could then enact laws
to permit prosecuting authorities to
proceed either through grand juries or
directly by the courts. as has been
done In Michigan and Wisconsin. In
ooth states, where the grand jury sys-
tenn has been relegated, the wheels Of
justice move much more freely and
cOrreSpOndingly cheaper

Leavett Admits Dual Board System Is
Bad for Schools,

The public hearing on the Morley
educational institution bill, given by
the joint committee on general legis-
lation, yesterday afternoon crowded
the senate chamber, but failed to bring
out anything new in the way of argu-
ment on either side.
President Northrop, of the univer-
sity; Dean Liggett, Of the agricultural
school; S. G. Comstock, Frank Weld,
Moorhead; ]. D. Washburn, Duluth;
President Millspaugh, Winona, for the
normal schools; Representative Morley
and G. N. Cosgrove, LIE Sueur, for the
OWatonna state public school, and
George p. Flannery, Minneapolis, and
E. HI. Loyhead. Faribault, for the
schools for deaf. dumb and blind,
spoke in favor of removing the educa-
tional institutions from the manage
ment Of the state board of control.
S. w. Leavett and James Martin, of
the board of control, defended the work
of their board. Mr.. Leavett admitted
that two boards cannot work in har-
mony. He seemed to favor separate
management for the university and
normal schools, but declined to admit
that the Faribault and OWatCnna in
stitutions are educational institutions
coordinate with the university or the
public school system.

PERILOUS TRIP
IN LIFE BOATS
Steamer Strikes a Reef, but
ALI on Board Are
Saved.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Feb. 10.LThe
Quebec steamship companys steamer
Madiana, Capt. Frazier, which sailed
from New York last Saturday With
a party of excursionists for special
cruise around the Caribbean islands,
went ashore on a reef on an island
off this shore at o'clock this morning.
The passengers had thrilling ex-
perience. but all remained on board
and were brought safely to land after
a perilous trip in life boats, wreck
ing tug standing a mile off. The mails
and passengers baggage were also
saved.
The Madiana was threading her way
in the night through the narrow chan
nei between the coral reefs which
leads to Hamilton harbor, when she
struck a reef one and half
miles northeast of North Rock. No
explicit explanation is yet forthcoming
as to how the vessel went on the rocks,
and the only information cbtainable
from the officers is that the light which
indicates the channel for some reason
could not be seen.

BRITISH PROTOCOL
ACCEPTED BY BOWEN
Latter Supported by the Other Negoti
ators in Effort to Raise Blockade.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10
Great Britains protocol has been for
mal1y accepted by Minister Bowen for
Venezuela. The German and Italian
conventions are still undergoing revis-
ion, but assurances are given in au-
thoritative quarters that they will be
eventually made to conform to that Of
the British ambassador.
The insertion in the German proto-
col of the provision for the advance
payment of the $4,000 demanded of
President Castro was the result of a
misunderstanding on the part of the
German foreign Office, after certain
steps in the negotiations. According
to the German ambassador, this point
is being cleared up.
Minister Bowen has done everything
possible to conclude the negotiations
with dispatch in order that the block
ade might be raised, and he tonight
expressed his belief that he had in this
effort received the support Of all the
negotiators.

BRITISH ARMY OFFICERS
SEVERLY FLOGGED
Admiral Cochrane Reveals a Barbarous
System of Punishment.

LONDON, Feb. 10-Rear Admiral
Basil Cochrane, retired, in letter pub
lished in the London Times today,
makes astounding revelations regarding
the "barbarous system" prevailing
among the guards regiments for the
punishment of subalterns who are
found guilty of social or military Of
fenses. According to Admiral Coch-
rane, the colonel of one battalion has
been IL the habit of handing over Of
Tending officers to their senior subal-
terms, the latter summons a court
tial at which the attendance of all the
subalterns is exacted, and the sentence
is almost invariably hogging. This is
administered on the bare back, and
from six to forty blows with cane are
given with such severity that the lower
number is sufficient to draw blood. All
the officers present, even the most in
innate friend of the victim, are COM
PEELED to administer their share OF
blows
