New York.-General Jose Man

tional Liberal party in Venezuela, is
now a political exile and is making
his headquarters in New York, He is
opposed to both General Castro, who
is reported TO have commenced an
o-her revolution in his native land,
and the present Gomez government.
Hernandez, it is believed. contem-
piates leading revolution of his own
party against President Gomez in the
near future He has issued the fol-
lowing manifesto:
Gen. Hernandez, as the recognize
leader OF the national Liberal party of
Venezuela, has with him the backing
of the great majority of The country,
and in the present state of affairs he
| can only say that he is closely watch
| ing events to see what can and must
be done at the proper time and when
due opportunity presents itself. With
reference 20 Gomez and Castro, both
are hated and distrusted at home and
| abroad; therefore there is no doubt
that both will be forced TO disappear
from the political scene by public
opinion. What the country wants is

Venezuelans in New York have be-
lieved for some time that an uprising

Clerks Evolved It.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 6-Postmas-
ter General Burleson's plan for extern
sion of the parcel post and the lower
ing OF rates, came in for severe crit
icism in the house yesterday from Rep
resentative Kindel of Colorado, one
of two congressman called in by Mr..
Burleson as consultants in his revision
plan.
Mr. Kindel declared The entire plan
of extension had been worked out by
a commission of four $4,000 clerks,
none of whom could run a corner
grocery for me-" The new rates in
the first and second zones are much
too low, Mr.. Kindel contended, in COM
parison with the rates for the other
zones.
He criticized particularly the fact
that packages can be reshipped four
times under the short zone rates, at a
total cost much less than the long dis
lance charges.
