Consuls Unite to Pro- tect Foreign Interests. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, ~July 24—United States Consul Luther T. Ellsworth has been elected president of the provisional conference created by the foreign consuls at Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, which is besieged by revolutionists and where a | sanguinary battle is expected to take place at any time. The following cablegram has been re- ceived from Captain McLean of the cruiser Cincinnati, dated La Guayra: “Information has been recefyed from the commander of the Topeka that an at- tack expected upon Puerto Cabello, Venezuela. A meeting of the foreign con- suls has elected the American Consul president of the conference. The Mari- etta is at Cumana, Venezuela. Carupano is quiet.” No indications of blockade. Revolutionary forces claim Carupano. The President of Venezuela remains at Barcelona. The Falke and Koenigen Re- gentes are at Puerto Cabello; the Gazeile and Suchet are here.” is This is the most important and direct| | news received from Venezuela for two | weeks. The revolution has’centered at Puerto Cabello, which will prove a val- uable acquisition to the revolutionists in | case their siege is successful. The con- suls will unite in protecting foreign in- terests in the event the city is taken by the revolutionists. The visit to Carupano, which_had been declared blockaded by the Venezuelan | Government, by the Marietta, has de- veloped the fact that the port was in the hands of the insurgents. It appears to be the policy of the Venezuelan Govern- ment to declare blockaded any port taken by the revolutionists. But the United | States does not recognize the blockade [+ L it was ‘o-asesfod unless it is effective, o the blockade at Carupano that the Marietta was sent | there.

T am going to transfuse into the operations of war the enthusiasm of my faith, my ner- veus activity and efficacy of my personal direction.” WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, July 24.—Advices received here to-day from Venezuela show that for the forty hours previous to the departure of the vessel which brought the news, Puerto Cabello had been surrounded by 2000 revolution- ists, who appeared and disappeared as if engaged in some extraordinary tac- tics. All the stores in the town were closed and the inhabitants were appre- hending an attack. The United States crulser Topeka, the French cruiser Suchet, the Dutch cruiser Koningen Regentes 2and the German crulser Falke had arrived at Puerto Ca- bello to protect foreign interests. EE rs ( POPE LEO RECEIVES AMERICAN PILGRIMS Majority of Them Are Profoundly Moved When the Apostolic Bene- diction Is Bestowed. ROME, July 24—The Pope to-day at noon received the American ‘pilgrims; Headed by Rev. E. H. Porcille of Brook- Ilyn, N. Y., and a number of other Amer- ican tourists, in Clementine Hall. The party numbered 200 persons. When the Pontiff appeared he was greeted with hearty cheers. He was car- ried about the hall in a sedan chair, speaking to each visitor as he was m- troduced by the Rev. Dr. Thomas F. Kennedy of Philadelphia, rector of the American College, assisted by Fathers Porcille and McGrane. Professor Peck of Yale, addressed the Pope in Latin, saying: “May you also be blessed by God Lim- self.” The pilgrims presented the Pope with $1000. Before leaving the Pope stood in the center of the hall and bestowed the apos- tolic benediction on the pilgrims. The majority of those present were profoundly moved and many of the women wept. just before he left “‘yellow house,” | The Pontiff retired amid cries of “Long live Leo! God bless the old man!" HEROISM RECORDED ON BRONZE TABLET . Subjects of Two Nations Join in Tribute to Men Who Fell in Samoa. 1Y o ST Le | SN> FART HE heroism of the sailors and marines of the American and British navies who met death in the Samoan uprising in 1899 was commemorated vesterday by the unveiling of a handsome mural memorial tablet in the little chapel of the naval sation at Mare Island. Officers of the United States navy and the marine corps and civil functionaries of the British Government participated in the cere- | mony, giving it somewhat of an interna- tional character, and coupled with tear- ful tribute to the heroism of the dead was much of heartfelt praise for the bravery of the living and mutual con- gratulation that such good feeling be- tween the two navies and the two coun- tries exists. ’ By strange circumstance, the cruiser Philadelphia, from which the Americans landed and went to their fate in the trepical forests of Samoa, was towed up to the navy yard and her anchor dropped just as the service began in the chapel. A delegation from San Francisco ‘ar- riving by the river steamer Modoc was met at South Vallejo by the navy yard tug Dart in charge of Lieutenant Com- meander Parker, ald to the commandant. Commander Parker welcomed the visit- ors and ushered them aboard the tug, and they were quickly landed on the receiv- ing ship Independence and thence taken ashore. ADMIRAL MEETS THE GUESTS. Rear Admiral Miller met the guests in front of the chapel, and as soon as the visitors were ushered to their seats the services began, at 4:30 o'clock. Chaplain A. A. McAlister, U. 8. N., was in charge. Preceding the ceremony of unveiling the tablet the regular even- ing prayer service of the Episcopal church was held. The bronze tablet, in the center of the east wall of the chapel, was hidden by the folds of an American and British flag. Two sergeants of marines had taken positions in front' of the tablet, and at a signal from the chaplain they drew back the flags and disclosed the handsome bronze shield. Chaplain Mec- Alister spoke as follows: “This memorial tablet, erectc. to the honor of God and in loving memary of brave~British and American officers and enlisted men of the navy snd the Marine Corps who fell in action at Szmoa in 1899, while protecting the white residents and their property, we now unveil. May God blesg)it to the useful purpose of teaching us 1éssons of patriotism and of devotion to the honor of our country, even to the sacrifice of life itself.” CONSUL GENERAL’S TRIBUTE. Courtenay W.

He spoke of the kindly feeling existing between the people of the two countries and said that it was first mani- | fested in the two navies. Continuing, he | said: 1 “This tablet is an outward sign of that spirit that binds the two nations together. It was In Samoa that American and Britons first fought in a common cause. This tablet is the first to be unveiled in America to the memory of’ subjects of both nations. It recalls thé beginning of a new era and is the first public sign of the disappearance of the bickerings that used to disturb the relations of the two countries.” The choir sang “America,” after which | the chaplain introduced Dr. F. W. @'Evelyn, vice president, of the British- | American Alliance, who spoke briefly as | the representative of that soclety. The | ceremony was concluded with singing the | doxology. The . tablet was designed and ecast| through the efforts of Chaplain McAlister and officers at Mare Island and members | of the Pritish-American Alliance, particu- larly Willlam Greer Harrison and Dr. @'Evelyn. It was designed by G. Alex-| ander Wright and Professor Ardley of the University - of California and cast by ‘Winslow Bros. of Chicago. It is a beautiful specimen of the art and makes a fitting memorial. At the bottom of the shield is a wew of Apia harbor, with the Phila- delphia and the British warship Royalist in the foreground. Flanking this view on | one side is a view of the battlefield and | on the other a view of the burial ground. The ships and mountains beyond and the palm trees of the burial ground stand out in beautiful relief. INSCRIPTION ON TABLET.
