CASTRO RAPIDLY
RECRUITING ARMY.
BLOODY CLASH DUE
Venezuelans Astounded by
Exiled Presidents Ex-
pedition.

CARACAS, July 10.-Cipriano Castro's
army OF revolt is increasing rapidly, ac-
cordtng TO advices to the government
here. and the first battle between the
former dictator and the government
troops under Gen. Patro G. Gomez,
brother of the President. may be a
bloody one.
Castro has at least 1900 men in the
Gejira peninsula. a district Inaccessible
except by sea, and where he can remain
longer and recruit his army in more
security than in any other part of
Venezuela. 1t will take some time for
the battalions Under Gomez to sail TO
Castilletas. where Castro landed, and
the former president probably will have
fortifications in place by that time.
Caracas is as founded at the news that
Castro has so Dig an army. Venezuela
has always expected he would return,
but not so fornlidably. Europe and the
United States have been hostile to him
From some point in Cuba Castro is
said to have shipped to Castilletas the
rifles which his men now bear. This
Cuban base of operations is said to be
still working. and II Is declared that
more arms and ammunition are stored
there. AS for money, Castro is said to
have plenty. He is said to have taken
35,OO0,OO0 franks out OF the country.
Many people in Venezuela hate Castro.
but his name Is strong, and his enemies
are greatly alarmed.

BLOODY BATTLE Of
GETTYSBURG RACED
FOR OVER A MONTH
"Private" Dalzell Says
Fighting Did Not Last
Only Three Days.

The Battle of Gettysburg lasted more
than thirty days and not only three
early in July. 1863, as II is generally
written in the histories. declares ''Pri-
vate" Dalzell-James NJ. Dalzell, an at
torney of l107 Ninth street northwest.
Private Dalzell thinks tat the Battle
Of Gettysburg comprises not only the
three days fighting in and around the
town in Pennsylvania. but the long
campaign eliminating there.
Most casual readers and people not
there" Private Dalzell states in a COM
munication to The Times, think only
Of those awful days in and around the
village of Gettysburg, forgetting there
was in that prolonged and vital conflict
vital alike to each army-one constant
fight from June Il at Winchester, until
the two great armies got back a month
later to their original bases on the
James at Chickahominy.
The roar of guns constantly was in
our ears not for the three great culmt-
mating days at Gettysburg. where the
climactertc was sung by booming and
rattling muskets, but for more than
twenty days, when Ehe great battle be-
gan at Winchester and Alder, until it
ended with retreat and both armies
faced each other defiantly in their old
trenches.
The Battle OF Gettysburg lasted
more than thirty days and nights"

Even though Washington be visited
by a shower tonight, a cool wave will
not ride in on the cloud. The back

that there would be no material
change tomorrow.
But Washington Is not alone in the
high temperature class. Warm wealth
er prevails throughout the New Eng
land and Middle Atlantic States, the
upper Ohio valley and the lower lake
tagion. There is unseasonably cold
weather IN the Rocky mountain and
Plateau region. There was a frost
last night in Wyoming. Showers fell
over the States of the middle West,

SUIT FOR MILLIONS
Judge Anderson Decides
Test Longevity Pay Case
for Government.

A test case involving claims Of from
So, 500, 900 to $4,000 against the
United States by retired army officers
for Ion gevity pay. has been decided in
favor of the Government by Justice
Anderson OF the District Supreme
Court.
Capt. Albert Todd. u. s. A., retired.
now residing at Vevey. Switzerland. is
denied a writ of mandamus by Justice
Anderson in the test case against
Comptroller TracewelI and Auditor
Harper of the War Department.
An appeal from Justice Anderson's
decision will be taken by Captain
Todd and other claimants to the
United States Surpeme Court.
Failure to include their service as
military cadets at the West Point
Academy in rating their longevity
pay, is the basis of the army officers
claims For each five years Of serv-
ice in the army commissioned officers
are given salary increases OF 10 per
cent.
Captain Todd alleges that the Comp
troller and auditors have refused to
compute his longevity pay from his
enlistment al eWts Point, in 1873, al
lowing hts longevity Dement'S to date
only from the date of his graduation.
by the statute Of limitations, liked at
six years. in the Court of Claims. Is
the decision Of Justice Anderson.
Other officers now are given the ben
eft of their cadet service in figuring
salary increases for continued serv-
ice.
Justice Anderson says Captain Todd
failed to demand ante-dating OF his
longevity claims until his right was
lost by virtue OF the statute OF hml-
tations.
The ruling of Justice Anderson, IL
sustained in the United States Su-
preme Court, will result in saving
from $500. 900 tG. s5,000,0e0 by the
Government in disallowance OF the
longevity pay claims of many army
officers

ing Improperly.

Because Of trouble with the engine
and the new Burgess Wright aero
plane. the proposed flight of Harry
Atwood and w. Startling Burgess in
the machine cannot be made this af-
ternoon, as was at first intended.
After Mr.. Burgess arrived at the
aviation field, this morning, with the
mechanicians from the Burgess Com
pany and Curtiss, he announced that
the fight would be made this after
noon in the machine damaged on Sat-
urday. After the men had been at
work on the machine for some time,
an examination of the engine showed
that it would not work properly. The
engine is to be shipped to the Wright
factory, at Dayton, Ohio, where the
cause of the trouble will be deter
mined.
Mr.. Burgess telegrapned for a new
engine which will reach here tomor-
row, and it is thought the machine will
be ready for a flight by tomorrow af-
ternoon, when both Atwood and Mr..
Burgess will demonstrate it at College
Park.
When Mr.. Burgess found that the
machine would not fly this afternoon.
he said:
II am very much disappointed not to
have the machine go up this afternoon,
as l expected Mr. Atwood here, and
both he and myself were to make
flights in it."
Successful flights were made this
morning on the aviation field by Lieu
tenants Arnold and Milling. Lieuten-
ant Kirkland was a passenger with
I Lieutenant Milling. Leutenants Ar
mold and Milling are planning to fly to
baltimore this afternoon in case Harry
Atwood continues his fight from Bal
tinore to Washington.

cutions are threatened the detectives

ity.

trunk; lawyers representing the girls
and Stokes. and the detectives inVolv-
ed in the case. He declared that II

lated today. The case will be decided

s1nal counsel, and from James Cum
mings, the house detective Of the Hotel
Ansonia. Cummings swore on the
stand that he had found them behind
Miss Graham's trunk on June 9. two
days after the shooting.
Points of Inquiry.
One of the principal points of the in
curry will be whether the policemen
were careless enough to let the bundle
of Stokes letters get out of their hands
soon after they made the first search Of
the apartment. Another point will be

a few kilograms were produced ard
