Arouaeil an Outburst of Patriotism—
•Comments of the Press.
Washington, ;\ov. 11.—The first
information of the excited public feei-
ii^ in Venezuela resulting from
Braish demands reached here yester-
day m^the Caracas papers up to
November-1. The prevailing seuti-
uieut is foe immediate war prepara-
tions, although some of the conserv-
ative journals urge moderation. The
British ultimatum lia> been received,
but t'ao publication of its substauce
aroused an outburst of patriotism.
The Diaria de Caracas, a semi-official
government organ, makes what ap-
pears to be an authoritative announce-
ment. It says: "In case an emergency
arises and the government of Vene-
zuela is obliged to '-esort to arms, the
British will be expelled from the dis-
puted territory. The public may rest
assured that it will be necessary only
for the government to send a tele-
graphic dispatch to the iron tier to
have this expulsion carried out.'" El
Tiempo publishes a leader on "The
defease in.Guiana,'' in which it urges
upon the government the immediate
dispatching of 1000 Venezuelan troops
to the frontier in order to be ready ac
any time to tase possession -of the
territory and hold it if the British
make any move forward. A strong
appeal is made to patriotic sentiment.
11 is oointed out by the El Tiempo
that the Argentine Republic won a
war against great Britain and' that.
Mexico won against a combination of
France, England and Spa>". Jul: Pro-

assured that an army of 100,OOti will
be orgazized, with resources for an
extensive campaign. Venezuela is
assured, it says, of the moral support
of the United States and all the South
American continent. It is pointed
out that there may be no need of fear
with a war wiih England, ae it will
result in an alliance of all the Ameri-
can countries, from the Arctic region
to Cape Horn.
Annual Army lteport* '
Washington, Nov. 1*2.—The annual
report of General Miles, commanding
the army, was made public yesterday.
The personnel is shown to be in ex-
cellent condition, well instructed, effi-
cient and attentive to duty. Liberal
appropriation! are required for public
buildings at the posts, many of which
are out of repair. General Miles be-
lieves that the peaceable conditions
now existing among the various In-
dian tribes is largely attributable to
the presence of troops at suitable
points and to the admirable conduct
of the experienced army officers who
have been placed in charge of the
principal agencies. While it is eco-
nomical and designed to have the re-
serve lorces of the army near the gen-
eral centers ef communication General
Miles urgently contends that these
points should be selected solely for
strategic value and that the tendency
towards concentration should not be
carricd to the point of depriving
Western settlements of proper pro-
tection. Under the heed of coast de-
fenses General Miles states that the
condition of these defenses is sueh as
to require decided ana immediate
tction for their improvement. The
unguarded condition of the coast is
known by every first class power and
the people should not be led in false
security. He quotes from his report
of 1894 a strong argument for the de-
fense of Puget Sound, showing that
since that time new Canadian railway
connections have been established
there and yet not a single gun has
been placed in defense.
The Reserve Fund.
Washington, Nov. 12.—Yester-
days withdrawal of $1,000,000 in gold
tor export by Crossman of New York
was not in any sense a surprise to the
treasury officials, yet the announce-
ment was not welcome news. No
explanation is offered and as to the
probabilities of further shipment the
officials seem quite as much in the
dark as outsiders. They do not dis-
guise the fact that they are apprehen-
sive of the future. The last shipment
of any importance occurred on Sep-
tember 27 last, when the reserve
sttood at about $92,800,000, which is
almost the exact amount at which it
stands to-day.

Washington, Nov. 9.—The de-

telegrams between the representatives
of the various powers and their goT-
ernments, which has been going ou
for several days past, an important
meeting of ambassadors was held he:e
and the situation thoroughly discussel.
Finally it was decided to send fresh
representations to the Turkish minii-
ter of foreign affairs, Tewfik Pashi,
renewing in much stronger language
the demands addressed by the am-
bassadors to Tewfik Pasha's prede-
cessor, Said Pasha, upon November ,
and insisting upon being informed
without delay as to what measures the
porte contemplated in order to re-
store order in Armenia, and remind-
ing the Turkish government that it
has already been notified of the intei-
Uon of the powers acting in concert
to take their own steps in the matter
should it develop that the porto is in-
adequate to deal with the state oi an-
archy prevailing in Anatolia. It is
known that the sultan still refuses to
believe that the powers are in accord
as to the action to be taken in case of
the port's failure to restore order !u
the Turkish empire. No amount of
persuasion seems strong enough to
bring Abdul Hamid to reason and tbe
opinion ie freely expressed nothing
short of a naval demonstration will
awaken tbe Turks to a realization of

Starving in Jamaica*
Halifax, N. S. Nov. 12.—Distress-"
ing stories of deprivation and starva-
tion were brought by the mail steamer
from Jamaica. The district of St.
Elizabeth, comprising 6000 persons,
is in a most deplorable condition,
brought about by the failure of early
crops by drouth and the devastation
of the second crops by a visitation of
caterpillars. Many poor people are
absolutely nude and whole families
have been living for weeks on a little
flour and soup. Unless extensive re-
lief comes soon many people, oid and
young, must die from starvation and
want of even the barest necessities.
In many instances mothers are offer-
ing to give their little children away
to strangers to save their lives.

Fatal Collision of Vessels.
Norfolk, Va., Nov. 9.—During a
dense fog off Sewell's point in Chesa-
peake bay, the Norfolk and Western
line steamer, the Newport News yes-
terday evening ran down and sunk
the tug Katie belonging to Captain
John Twohy of this city. Particulars
are meager. The crew of the steamer
Lewis, which was near the scene of
accident, heard the two vessels crash
together and the cries of men in dis-
tress. but the fog was so heavy that
they were unable to render assistance.
When they arrived at the scene of
disaster they found the bodies of the
cook and fireman floating near the
sunken tug. It is presumed that the
remainder of the crew ot the tug were
rescued by the steamer, which pro-
ceeded to Washington.

San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 8.—
Theodore Durant will be taken into
court to-day, ostensibly to be sen-

pronounced. Attorneys for the de-
will then move for a new trial and
this motion will detail a continuance.
They will be entitled to two weeks in
which to prepare their brief and it is
understood that they will avail them-
selves of the full period.

enter the American express company's
office at this place. The glass in the
front door ot the office was cut in a
double circle which, had the glass

A suspicious looking stranger was
