The moral effect produced by his retreat | is disastrous for the Government and gives an idea of the strength of the rev-| | | olution which latterly has spread toward | the center of Venezuela. The revolution- ists are at Chaguarames on thelr way to | Orituco, sixty miles from Caracas. | President Castro's mew plan is to at- tack the revolutionists near Valencia, | where they are assembling from all direc- tions, General Riviera with 1800 men be- ing on the way there from Coro.

The government of President Castro cannot hold out much longer. Funds are | needed and forced loans are being resort- | ed to.

KING VICTOR EMMANUEL’S VISIT TO THE CZAR IN AID OF CATHOLIC ASSOCIATIONS Russia, However, Refuses to Be Drawn Into Any Semblance of Opposition to the French Government’s Pol of Congregationalist Schools Proceeds Ami ¥ nal sources it day that the King Victor Emmanuel's re- cent visit to the Czar was to is induce Russla to exert its influence in France in behalf of the Catholic associations. The = King is sald to have undertaken this mis- slon at the earnest solicitation-of his mother, Dowager Queen Margherita, whose devotion to the church is weil known. Victor Emmanuel pleaded the case of the assoclations with great elo- | quence and emphasized the danger {o France should it lose its position as the recognized protector of Catholic inter- ests in Turkey and the Far East. The Czar, however, declined to be drawn into any semblance of opposition to the French Government’s policy. ,Tt is as- serted by a diplomat, who vouches for these statements, that while political and commercial reasons are named as an in- centive to the Italian monarch’s visit to St. Petersburg, these objects were sup- piementary to the eccleslastical mission he had undertaken. For this reason the enterprise may be regarded as a fallure, TEN RIOTERS INJURED. PARIS, July 26.—The serving of official notices closing the unauthorized religious schools began this morning and was car- ried out so far as Paris was concerned without any disturbance. At Mauvaux, department of Dunord, the expulsion of the sisters led to a riot in which two persons were arrested. A police commissary and ten rioters were injured. The resistance to the officlal decree in the capital is developing Into a farce. The Government allows the sisters in the Rue Szlneuve to remain because an orphan- age and a home for the aged are at- tached to their school. On the other hand, the sisters in anoth- er street who were ordered by their moth- er superior to leave, were prevented from complying by a band of fifty enthusiasts who surrounded them and shut them up The police are hold- ixg off from expelling them by force. ‘The situation in the province is more grave. Telegrams containing petitions for clemency and delay are pouring in on President Loubet from all quarters, and a telegram from Brest says the outlook from several of the neighboring towns is erious. Opposition to the authorities wes offered, but no casualties have been re- ported. At Lyons there was no disturbance. The schools there have been closed and the doors sealed.

Pargnts of school children of Brest have fssued a memorial to President Lou- bet, agked that the Sisters be retained. The| people have mounted guards arounfl Sisters’ schools, declaring that they Will resist to the bitter end." They are rapidly being reinforced by rural con- tingents, and it is thought that bloodshed is certain if the authorities try to expel the Sisters.

Addresses were made by Fran- cols Coppee, the author and poet, and other members of the Chamber of Depu- ties and municipal councilors. The break- ing up of the assemblage was followed by djzorderly scenes. Crowds crying “Vive 1a Liberte!” gathered and the police were obliged to use severe measures to disperse them. Several arrests/were made, among the persons taken into custody being a priest. Counter demonstrations were organized in the streets, those taking part in them singing political songs and denouncing the Nationalists. Up to this hour, 11:15 p. m., however, nothing very eerious has occur- red. SRy s AVOIDS THE PROTESTS. President Loubet Reported to Have! Secretly Left Paris. PARIS, July 2.—President Loubet, hav- ing affixed his signature to the school decree, feared to face the popular fury in the streets, and, though a delegation of officlals awaited to see him off at Mont — yrotenéng and councilmen are resigning. Finisterre is in open revolt. SOLDIERS ARE HURT BY ARTILLERY HORSES Animals Bolt at Review, Caisson Is Overturned and Three Men | Are Injured.

W., WASHINGTON, July 2%.—Cable re- ports received at the Stats Department | to-day from Minister Powell, at Port au Prince, describe the conditions in Hayti as going from bad to worse. A condition nearly approaching anarchy prevails. Civil war has been declared throughout the country. General Firmin, former Minister to| Paris, who is one of the aspirants to the Presidency, is marching on to Port au Prince, and the provisional government has been dissolved. Admiral Killick, who Is supporting Fir- | min, and is ravaging the coast towns on a pirate by the acting President, who has sent a note to the diplomatic corps ask- ing them to have naval vessels of foreign countries capture and destroy the ship wherever found. There is no likelihood that the request of the acting President regarding Killick will be complied with, but so long as he is afloat his opponents are utterly unable to cope with the revo- lution, being without ships of sufficient strength to attack him. The arrival of the Machias, which sailed from Colon for Cape Haytien, is hourly expected at the latter port. PORT AU PRINCE, Haytl, July 26.— The provislonal government of Hayti has claimed. President. by .the inhabitants of the Department of Artebinote and other portlons of the country, to be an outlaw. The Firminist army is reported to be one day's march from Port au Prince, the capital of the Republic. Several promi- nent army officers who are in sympathy with M. Firmin have resigned. The Haytien gunboat Crete-a-Plerrot has arrived at this port. Great excite- ment prevails here. MINERS MAY DEMAND JUDGE'S IMPEACHMENT Complaint Probably Will Be Made Against West Virginia Fed- eral Official. INDIANAPOLIS, July 26.—The United Mine Workers may try to obtain the im- peachment of Federal Judge Jackson of West Virginia, who restrained them from holding meetings to induce men to quit work and imprisened a number of the or- ganizers for violating an injunction. The plan of action is not definitely outlined, | but it is probable that the impeachment | proceedings will be begun scon if Judge | Jackson, after a final hearing, refuses to | dissolve the injunction. | Secretary Wilson admitted to-day that | the miners contemplate that course and | 2 complete transcript of the case, includ- ing ‘the complaints and Judge Jackson's decision, will be prepared for submission to President Roosevelt and the Senate. The miners also Intend to give to the public the evidence in the case. Wilson says that the miners will not ask the President to interfere with the injunction, | as he says they realize that the President | «, is without power as to Injunctions, but if the habeas corpus proceedings fall to release the organizers the President will be asked to pardon them. The habeas corpus proceedings will be begun 2s soon as the papers can be made out. Ssm a0t R L PRESIDENT DISAPPROVES ONE COURT DECISION Roosevelt Objects to the Acquittal of Lieutenant Cook in the Philippines. WASHINGTON, July 26.—The President has returned to the War Department the cases of Major Edwin 8. Glenn, Fifth In- fantry; First Lieutenant Julian Gaujot, Tenth Cavalry, and Lieutenant Norman G. Cook, Philippine scouts. Glenn was found guilty by the courts and sentenced to be suspended for one month and to| forfeit $50 of his pay. Gaujot was found | guilty and sentenced to suspension for three months and to forfeit $50 per month | during that forced absence. Cook was | acquitted. The President approved fthe finding in the case of Major Glenn and Lieutenant | Gaujot and disapproves the action of the | court in the case of Lieutenant Cook. He | makes ho comment on the cases what- ever beyond the approval in the two cases and disapproval in the one. Glenn was. tried by court-martial for adminis- | tering the water cure to the Presidente | of Igbaras, and Gaujot for administering | the cure to three natives. Lieutenant | Cook was tried on the charge of order- ing three natives to be shot by the Maea- bebe scouts. — Patient Being Kept From Public. —_— His Majesty’s Condition Is Bad. Lack of Out= ward Prepa- rations. Special Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, July 26.—Will there be a coronation on August 9, as announced officially, or will there be anether post- ponemen There is no gainsaying the fact that general feeling on the matter is very pessimistic. It is very true the doctors’ reports about the King's progress are very satisfactory. The complete rest his Majesty is now enjoying on board the royal vacht is proving of great ser- vice to hLis physique. But, apart from what is allowed to be made public offi cially, not a whisper is heard from any- body who has seen the King. Nobody on the yachts cruising on the Solént ever gets the merest glimpse of the King, who is hidden behind an awning, while pleasure crait must steer a con- siderable distance away from the royal yacht. LACK OF PREPARATION. The fear that there may be no coro- nation on the date fixed is intensified by the manner in which preparations are being carried on—or rather by lack of preparation. Those who have du- ties allotted to them in connection with the ceremony have been summoned to rehearsals only two days before the date fixed, which is taken to indicate that if need be the event can again be post- poned at the last moment. Even with all their favorable bulletins the doctors have some fears of a re- lapse necessitating another postpone- ment. It must be remembered that the King is not vet able to get up from a ra- cumbent position, for the story that he had been allowed to take a short walk on deck one afternoon was promptiy and officially. denied. In fact, on the day on which his Majesty was supposed to have taken a walk he never came on the deck at all, owing to nasty weather. He is not able or is not permitted to move without being helped, and people are shaking their heads doubtfully. BALFOUR IS EVASIVE. Then, again, as to outward prepara- tions being so far behind, no police regulations have yet been published, which is considered very strange, as the event is only a fortnight off. Further- more, the Prime Minister's answer to a question in the House of Commons, | whether August 9 is to be a bank holi- public such in- day, has not served to lessen pessimism. The result of quiries as the Government has been able to make in this matter. he said, tends to show that the balance of pub- lic opinion is in the direction of turning the customary half-holiday of Saturday into a bank holiday on the occasion of the coronation. Why did Balfour use such curiously halting expressions tends to show the balance of public opinion is in the direction of turning,” etc., in an obscure reply to a direct question whether the day is to be made a general holiday or not? IRRITATING EFFECT. This reply seems to have had a rather irritating effect on the public mind. be- cause it is thought that, if the corona- tion has been definitely fixed, as has been announced, it is now time. in jus- tice to the public, that these matters should be finally settled. Whether there is to be a coronation or net. it is falling yery flat indeed. The elaborate decora- tions of some of the big mansions in the West End have been carefully served for the restoration of coroma- tion day, but there will be little or no street decoration. For instance. James street, which presented suc magnificent spectacle on June 21, is ne it is understood, to be decorated all. Seats on minister Abbey, which had been dise posed of as high as twenty-five guineas. and money returned, are now offered at ands alongside West- for use on August o for from one to eight guineas. There are very few takers. The shock of the King's serious ill- ness came so suddenly that some pe have not had time to regain heart. Foreign visitors have all gone away and the hotels are half empt Indee | hotel managers are anxious to let it be known generally that there is mo in- crease in price
