GENERAL ANDRADE SAYS HE WAS BETRAYED Venezuela on the Verge of Anarchy and Peace Will Not Come for Years. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Nov. 27.—Gen- eral Ignaclo Andrade, the exiled Presi- dent of Venezuela, has been in San Juan with his wife during the last three weeks. He says that it is his intention to remain | here indefinitely. In an interview to-day General Andrade sald: “I was forced to leave my country as a result of an up- rising among a section of my people. | headed by Cipriano Castro. After the | revolution was in full sway two import- | ant battles were fought and my army | was victorious in each, but through the | treachery of members of my Cabinet, and ¢ | particularly of my Vice President, the | | Insurgents were allowed to approach the | capital. Knowing that if they once en- | tered the city all hope wouid be gone, and | dectding that the most patriotic act I | could do would be to leave the country, { 1.did so, thus preventing the unnecessary | bloodshed of my faithful and patriotic foi- lowers. | “Since I have been in San Juan a part | of Castro's following has deserted him, {nnd. under Jose Hernandez, allas ‘La Moca,” a revolution within a revolution has been started. I have foreseen this state of affairs, and it will be years before the country will become settled. Venezu- | ela is now on the verge of anarchy. Up- | risings will occur here and there every few months.” Do o INVITATION TO DEWEY. Milwaukee Would Like to Show Him Some Western Hospitality.

HIHBINDER Vi I MARNSHILLE Many Shots Fired but No One Injured. —,———— Special Dispatch to The Call. MARYSVILLE, Dec. 4.—Seventy-five shots, fired as rapidly as a dozen or more warring nighbinders could pump bullets from their revolvers, relleved the erst- while quiet of Marysville's Chinatown at 10 o'clock this morning. It was battle number two of the Hop Sing-Suey Sing feud, which was transferred from Chico to this city several weeks ago, the first scrimmage on the 2th of Jast month re- | sulting in the death of Hoey Gim of the Hop Sing tong. The corner of First and C streets was he scene of battle, the headquarters of he opposing tongs being on opposite cor- ers. Though only the width of the street | separated the shooters there are no killed | or wounded to report. Several windows, | doors and signs show evidence of the fu. sillade. Sheriff Bevan has arrested Leo Deo and ew Wing, members of Suey Sings, and has charged them with the murder of Hoey Gim, it is sald, at the instance of two representatives of the Hop Sings oming from San Francisco. This move | has intensified the feeling existing and a | lively battle is looked for soon. A number of San Francisco hatchetmen are enlisted for the war. | TRAIN STRIKES AN ELECTRIC STREETCAR Motorman Killed and Many People Seriously Injured in a Chicago Disaster. CHICAGO, Dec. 4—A Wabash Ralilroad | passenger train struck a Thirty-firsc | street electric car at 7 o'clock to-night, | killing Charles Shaw, the motorman, and Injuring ten others, iIncluding the follow- | ing: Anna Lohr, left shoulder fractured; Charles Reiman, left foot cut off and in- ternal injuries; Frank O'Connor, left ankle broken and head bruised. The passenger train was running at a high rate of speed and was two blocks from the crossing when the conductor of the electric car gave the nlgnll to the motorman to cross. The car had reached the middle of the tracks when a warning shout from the flagman notified the gu- sengers of the approaching train. There were thirty or more persons on the car and they made a dash for the doors. Several succeeded In getting out, and those who did not were thrown more than twenty feet with the car, which was broken into pleces. Manning’s Denial.

DO LTS DO | The revenue cutter Hugh McCulloch re- | turned from her search for the overdue fleet yesterday afternoon. She went as far north as Mendocino, but only a few of the vessels were spoken. A couple of these were short of provisions, but those of the fleet that have been longest on the way were not seen. Captain Coulson’s re- port of the cruise is as follows: Steamer left San Francisco Thanksgiving day at 2 p. m. in search of overdue vessels, cruised over 600 miles along the coast as far north as Mendocino, and has spoken the following vessels: Friday, December 1—Off Point Rey spoke steamer Brunswick, with schoones barge Santa Paula in tow, from Eureka alro steamer Tillamook, from Humboldt. The masters of these steamers reported that they had seen no vessels in distress. Saturday, December 2—Latitude 40 degrees 11 minutes north, longitude 125 degrees 7 minutes west, spoke schooner John D. Tal- lant of San Francisco, 15 days from Port Gamble; all well. Latitude 40 degrees 13 minutes north, lon- gitude 125 degrees 10 minutes west, spoke schooner Coquille of Empire City, 25 days from Coquille river, badly in need of provi- sions; wus given a liberal supply of flour, potatoes, meat, sugar and coffee, also ofl. Master reported schocner leaking some, but did net consider it dangerous, and required no further assistance. Latitude 40 degrees 17 minutes north, lon- gitude 125 degrees 9 minutes t, ¥poke scliooner Charles Hanson of San Francisco, 24 days from Coos Bay; all well; no aselst- ance Tequired. Latitude 40 degrees 8 minutes north, longi | tude 125 degrees 19 minutes west, spoke | schooner Premier of San Francisco, 16 days from Olympla; no ald required; all well. Latitude 40 degrees 7 minutes north, longl- tude 1% degrees 17 minutes west, spoke 23 days OO0 90 & FHDP0IVI0IO e DTS O 6 DOHHR I 3 2 D090 schooner Letitia of San Francisco, | from Grays Harbor; master requested visions, and his wants were supplied. ing that there was a woman on board the | Letitia, the officers of the McCulloch made | up a bundle of magazines and papers, among | them several copies of The Call, and sent them in the boat to the distressed vessel, and they were much appreciated by the plucky wife of the captain, who had accom- panied him on his perilous voyage. Latitude 40 degrees 1 minute north, longi- | tude 125 degrees 16 minutes west, spoke | #chooner Seven Sisters of San Francisco, 14 | days from Coos Bay: all well. December 3—Latitude 3 degrees 24 minutes north, longitude 124 degrees 41 minutes west, spoke schooner La Gironde of San Fran- cisco, 22 days from Gruys Harbor, for San Pedro; master reported vessel leaking badly, but desired no assistance. December 4—Three miles south of the South Farralon, spoke schooner Rio Rey of San Francisco. 3 days from Eureica: all wel None of these vessels from northern ports had heard anything of or had seen the schgoners Amethyst or Danielson, so long overdue, nor had they seen any vessels in distress or requiring assistance. Had light northwest weather, with clear skies, until this morning; long southwesterly swell and emooth sea. During the cruise of the McCulloch a most vigilant outlook was kept night and day and every sail that hove in sight was spoken. Very grave fears are felt for the American Girl, Amethyst, Antelope and 8. Danfelson. The Amethyst and Danielson have been spoken and supplied with provisions, but that was several weeks ago, and the crews of all four schooners must be in desperate straits bfi' this time. There is always the chance that me vessel better supplied with stores may have relleved their pressing wants, which fact will not be known un- til one or the other of the vessels makes ort. For instance, the steamer Grace llar arrived at Grays Harbor Sunday and reported speaking the schooner Vo- lante, 30 days out from San Francisco for Coquille River, short of provisions and supplied her wants. The Volante was off Cape Foulweather when spoken. Some of the coasters now out from six to fifteen days may have spoken some of the overdues Iin a similar manner and given them a share of their stores. Nev- ertheless many of the old ship captains are of the nninlon that the sailors are faring like the men on the Wing and Wing were when spoken—living on sea- gulls. The boat picked up by the steamer Geo. Loomis turns out to belonf to the Naval Reserve at Santa Cruz. It was washed out of the davits during the southeaster and carried to sea. The boat was origi- nally a man-of-war cutter and was not much damaged by its battle with the ele- ments. The Oregon Rallway and Navigation Company's steamer George W. sailed for Portland yesterday mand of Captain Clem Randail. As the vessel D along the front every tow- boat on the bay saluted Captain Ran- dall. The new master of the Elder was formerl c?tnln of the tug Rellef and this is Kls rst command of a passenger steamer. Rafael Rahos, a fireman on the steamer San Blas, was nearly asphyxiated at 31 Montgomery street Sunday night. He went to his room drunk and turned ‘he gas out and then on again. He was nearly dead when Officer C. Peters found him. Rahos was taken to the Harhor Hospital, where Dr. Morrison worked over him for an hour and gave Rafael a new lease of life. He will able to go out on_his steamer. The United States training ship Adam which returned from a cruilse to Seat a few days ago, went to Mare Island yes. terday. {l‘he battle-ship Iowa went out- side during the morning. The tnnagort Sherman will sall to- morrow with _the third battalion of the Forty-ninth Regiment and 150 recruits. Chle¥ Steward Robinson is sick, so J. J. Fallon, formerly of the 8t. Paul, will go out in his place. Mr. Fallon and his crew made a mcdel transport out of the St. Paul. but unfortunately he had a private difference with the first assistant engineer and refused to sign with him. Every one of his assistants also refused to go out on the ship and a new set of men had to be procured. Mr. Fallon and all hands stayed by the St. Paul up to the hour of salling and helped the new- comers in every possible manner to get acquainted with the ship. Mr. Fallon left the St. Paul with the -will of avery member of the Alaska Commercial Com- pany and all of them are glad to see him appointed to the Sherman.
