VENEZUELA HAS
ANOTHER REVOLUTION.

Against President Castro Mar
tial Law Declared.
By Cable to the moioinu etr.
Wiixkmstadt, Island of Qbaooa,
July 31. Dr. Rangel Gardiras, at the
head of five thousand men, has re
volted against President Castro of
Venezuela. The insurgents are near
an Antonio de Tachira," on the Co
lombian frontier. The Venezuelan
government has sent 10,000 troops to
the scene of the uprising. The situa
tion is grave. Other outbreaka are
expected. The whole country is ready
to rise against President Castro. Con
stitutional guaranties have been sus
pended and complications with Co
lombia are feared.
Washington, July 31. The State
TVuartment to-day received the fol
lowing telegram from the American
legation at Caracas:
"Martial law has been declared in
f..,moa hv thn nrsirint nt tha
country in consequence of the inva
lion of a revolutionary foroe from
Colombia. It is reported that an army
of 10,000 men will meet the invaders."
t'p to the Hour when the depart
nients closed to day the State Depart
ment had not called upon the Navy
Department for a ship to go into
Venzeuelan waters.' In yiew of the
serious condition of affairs . there, and
the unsettled condition in the neigh
boring republic of Columbia, it is not
improbable that an American warship
will be sent to the scene- of trouble for
the protection of American interests.
If a ship is called for, some difficulty
might be experienced in finding a suit
able vessel for the mission. About
the only sbip available at this time is
the small gunboat Machias, fitting at
the Boston navy yard. That vessel
would, however, not be ready to sail
for about two weeks.. There is not a
, . i ! a ii
siniiie American warsuip iu ooutnern
waters. In case of extreme urgency,
one of the battleships now in commis
sion could of course be sent.
Washington, July 31. Senor Pul
iUo, the Venezuelan charge here this
afternoon received a message from
fiene ral Estevo, the Venezuelan con
sul general at New York, statins; that
th revolutionary movement headed
by Dr. Rangel Gardinras has complete
ly collapsed.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF CUBA.
Views of General Wood, Military Gov

New York, July 31. General
Leonard Wood, militrry governor of
Cuba, who is now on board the dis
patch boat Kanawaha, preparing for
a cruise along the coast of New Eng
land, said to day in discussing Cuban
affair:
"C'ubi ia a totally undeveloped is

ourpfiole in the South, in another
year will cease to be epidemic. We
nave mil had a single case of yellow
fever at Havana this summer and
.none in eastern Cuba for, two years
past. j '
"Cubs's resources require capital for
development. The last enormous
sutar crop was raised on eight per
cent, of the entire sugar producing
land Only this small percentage is
umlfr cultivation We have $1,600,
Oiiij in our reserve fund and can pay

within the Dext eight months We
have established three thousand and
six hundred flourishing schools. Two
years ago we were obliged to
provide oer one hundred orphan
asilums to protecLtbe destitute chil
dren; since then .we have abolished
sixty and expect to be able to close
more before we retire from the man
agement of Cuban affairs. Our troops
have been well cared for and their
health compares favorably with that of
the troops in this country, showing
' that the island is healthy. They
camp out, undertake practice marches
similar to those of other troops of this
army ; in every way their condition and
behavior has been admirable. The
municipal governments are in order.
The judiciary is entirely reformed and
is satisfactory to the people. The
people are gentle and easily governed.
They are affectionate , and tractable.

TRAIN ROBBERS
MADE A MISTAKE.
Failed in an Attempt to Rob the
Express Car On a B.
and 0. Train.
DYNAMITED EXTRA MAIL CAR.
Work of Five Masked Men Trainmen
Overawed and Passengers Badly
Frightened Robbers Got No
. Booty Bat a Watch.
By Telegraph to the Morning Btar.
Chicago, July 31. The Baltimore
and Ohio passenger train from the
east, which waa due to arrive in the
Grand Central depot, Chicago, at 9
o'clock to night, was held up by five
masked men at 8 o'clock between Ed-
femore and Grand Calumet Heights,
nd., thirty-one miles out from Chi
cago. One of th mail cars which
contained no money was dynamited
.and wrecked.
The attempt at robbery was made
after the two mail cara had been de
tached from the train and run a quar
ter of a mile ahead. The failure of the
robbers to make a rich haul was due to
the fact that the express car, which
contained the train's treasure, was in
an unusual place.
It was the third car in the train.
After wrecking the mail car and ob
taining no booty, the robbers disap
peared in the darkness without at
tempting to rectify their mistake. The
only loot that they carried away with
them as a result of their adventure
was the gold watch of the engineer.
Train Men Shot At.
The train was the New York and
Washington vestibule limited. Most
of the trainmen were shot at and had
narrow escapes from the bullets. No
person was injured either by dynamite
or firearms. The place where the rob-
Dery occurred is a lonely district in
wmca tew peopie live, ana nouses are
far between. No better place for a
train robbery could be desired by the
robbers.
The train was running at a high rate
of speed as it passed Calumet Heights,
and immediately after passing out of
sight of the station, Engineer J. W.
Collih8 saw directly in front of his
engine a large fire on which some
rails had been placed. He slowed
down, and aa he did so, three men
wearing masks over their faces jumped
in to the cab and covered Collins and
his fireman, James Whipple, with re
volvers. " Panic in Sleeping Cars.
Just before climbing into the cab
the three men commenced to fire with
their revolvers in order to frighten
away all assistance. The shots pro
duced the liveliest kind of It panic in
the Bleeping cars, where the passen
gers made every attempt to hide their
money and valuables before the rob
bers could get at them. No attempt
was made, however, to rob any of the
passengers. The fusilade had the
effect of making them keep inside the
cars.
After mounting into the cab of the
engine, the robbers covering the en
gineer and fireman with their revol
vers, made them step, down and go
back the length of two cars. They or
dered the men to uncouple the first
two cars, which was done. Then they
hustled the two trainmen back into
the cab, and still keeping the engineer
covered with "revolvers directed him
to pull up some distance from the rest
of the train. Collins ran up two huh
dred feet and was then directed to
stop. He did so and while one of them
remained to guard him, - the others
jumped off, and hurling dynamite at
the door of the car which they judged
to be the express car, burst open the
door. Hastily climbing in to get at
the safe, they were astonished to find
that they had broken into a mail car.
They threatened the engineer with
death for not telling them that the
cars which he had uncoupled were not
express cars and ordered him to return
at once and uncouple the next car
behind the baggage cars.
Oave Up Attempt.
Climbing once more into his cab,
Collins backed his engine down, cou-
Sled on to the third car. which the
reman was made to uncouple at the
rear end and still with the muzzle of
the revolver at his head, Collins was
ordered to run down the track,, as be
fore. He drew away from the bal
ance of the train about .the same dis
tance as on the first occasion and the
robbers still leaving him under the
charge of one of their number, made
for tnis car. When they reached it,
they found to their great wrath that
they had attached another mail car
and that it contained no money. The
train had been delayed now fully thir
ty minutes, and fearing that if they
delayed any longer, help would . be
coming to the train crew, the robbers
gave up their attempt to rob the train
and jumping down ran into a thicket
of scrub oaks, at the side of the track
and disappeared. -
It is estimated that $50,000 was
stored in the express car and it is be
lieved the robbers knew of the large
amount of money and valuables
aboard.

SAN PRANCISCO STRIKE:
Each Side Confident of Winning No
Serious Disturbance More Men
Called Oat.
By Telegraph to the Morning star.
San Francisco, July . 81.-r-There
were but few changes in the local la
bor situation to day. Both employers
and strikers are standing firm and each
aide claims confidence in winning
without drawing on its reserves. No
serious disturbance of the peace oc
curred. The strikers are observing
strictly the injunction to abstain from
violence. The employers hold out no
hope for a speedy settlement of the
trouble and say there is nothing in
sight but a bard battle. The drivers
for the Pacific Transfer Company were
called out to-day. This will have a se
rious effect on the handling of bags
gage. The sand teamsters were also
ordered out. . This new develonment
may put a stop to building operations
throughout the city. By the best
informed students of the situation it
is declared that the outcome of the
contention is mainly dependent upon
the coal supply Only one large
bunker was in operation this morn
ing and it is said there is not enough
coal in the city to meet the demand
longer than two weeks.
The City Front Federation granted
permission to-day to a number of
teams to haul coal to the lighthouse
tender ao there will be no stoppage of
the lighthouse service. Permission
also has been granted to the charitable
institutions and hospitals to receive
aupplies hauled by union teamsters.
While five steamers are being loaded
to-day, the general appearance of the
harbor is one of inactivity.

YET REACHED
Leaders of Amalgamated Asso

Day for. Consideration.
THE STATUS IS UNCHANGED.
Officials of the Steel Corporation Are AI
most Confident That the Strike Will
be Settled by the Acceptance
of Their Proposal.
By Telegraph to the Morning Btar.
Pittsburg, July 31. "Hope de
ferred maketh the heart sick." This is
expressive of the feelings of the ma
jority of Pittsburgers to-night outside
of the inner circle of the Amalgama
ted Association executive board who
have been considering the proposals
for a settlement of the steel strike for
two days without - agreement. How
the members of the board feel is known
to no man on the- outside. The sec
ond dby of the executive board's de
liberations was notable for the many
rumors in circulation, and for the con
spicuous dearth of results. The ab
sence of three of the principal mem
bers of the board from the sessions to
day gave rise to the story that the
members were divided in their ideas
of peace proposals and that iu or
der to satisfy all, Secretary Wil
liams had been sent to New York
to seek modifications at the bands
of Messrs. Morgan and Schwab, while
Assistant Secretary Tighe and Trustee
Morgan had received a commission to
visit Senator Hanna to secure his aid
in bringing about an amicable ar
rangement Nothing tangible could
be learned concerning these supposed
trips.
The condition of affairs to-night
may be summed up in this paragraph:
"The steel workers' strike against
the United States Steel Corporation is
still unsettled. The status of tne con
test is unchanged, the men are fight
ing for every advantage, while the
companies involved are strengthening
their positions as much as possible.
Tne conference of the members of the
general executive board of the Amal
gamated Association, which was ex
pected to settle the trouble one way or
the other to-day, adjourned at 6 o'clock
to night without accomplishing its
purpose.".
When f ; 'dent Shaffer was asked
for some statement as to the condition
of the conference and the probability
of a settlement, he said: .
"There will be no statement given
out today. I expect to call another
meeting of the board to morrow at 10
o'clock. I will be present at this meet
ing and will not be out of the city to
night."
Confidence was felt in some circles
to day that the strike would eventual
ly be settled on the propositions made
by Mr. Morgan. The officials of the
steel companies, wto have been acting
for the United States Steel Corpora
tion in this matter, were apparently
hopeful and light-hearted. The delays
in the settlement are fully understood
by the- Morgan representatives, and
while all maintain the sternest silence
regarding the matter they are not able
to conceal their feelings of content
ment and satisfaction over the way
things are going. One of these offi
cials remarked to a friend to-day that
if the strike was not settled he would
be more than surprised.
TEETH1NA was flrst used by Dr. Charles J.
Moffett, a graduate of Jefferson Medical Col
lege, Philadelphia, Pa., ln his extensive and
sacceesful treatment of children ln Georgia in
overcoming the troubles incident to teething
and hot summers. TEETHINA (Teething Pow
ders( counteracts the effect of hot weather and
keeps tne digestive organs in a healthy conil
tlon, and has sved tne lives ot thousands oi
children in the doctor's native State, where
physicians prescribe and all mothers give It,
and it is criminal ln mothers oC onr section to
allow their babe and little children to suffer
and perhaps die when relief cm be so easUy
obtained by giving TEETHINA. It costs only
25 cents at druggists; or mall 85 cents to C. J.

mm of Its Good Itrsalt It I Jo
Substitute, However, If or Mannre. '.
j One of the most important chemical
changes brought ab;:t in a soil through -the
action of lime i ; the t!ocomi sition
of minerals, particularly - the, disinte
gration of refractory silicates. Such
action as this would generally be pro
duced more easily by cau&tic, or quick,
lime than by any other form. Lime
materially aids ln the formation of
double silicates of alumina, which have
an Important Influence on the fertility
of the land. Double silicates of alu
mina may be described as silicates of
alumina ln which part of the alumina
is replaced by lime, soda, potash or
ammonia. , .
Most farmers are aware that ammo
nia Is more valuable than potash, while
potash is more valuable than soda, and
soda is more valuable than lime. The
double silicates of alumina, when once
formed, eeem to recognize this and ex
ercise a similar order of preference
If a double silicate of alumina add
lime exist In the soil and should be
brought ln contact with soda, some of
the lime will be given up, and soda will
replace it, resulting ' ln a silicate of
alumina and soda. The presence of
lime will not enable It to replace the
soda, as the silicate of alumina prefers
the soda to the lime. If, however, pot
ash Is added, the soda la given np and
potash taken into the combination, be
cause the silicate of alumlnia prefers
potash. But if ammonia comes within
the influence of this compound it will
replace either the lime, soda or potash,
and silicate of alumina and ammonia
will be formed. These double silicates
are in such shape as to be lost from
the soil by leashing, yet are In a read
ily available condition for plants.
To the foregoing explanation of the
mode in which lime acts Director Pat
terson of the Maryland station adds
the following: .
Lime and Potash. Lime has not only
the effect of aiding in 'the, formation of
unions of potash which will be held in
the soil, but it also has the ability to
liberate potash from combinations
which are locked up and unavailable
to plants. This is particularly marked
when lime Is applied to land containing
fragments of feldspar. Gypsum is par
ticularly useful in rendering potash
available, and the sulphate of lime in
dissolved phosphates often has an in
direct value ln this way. Lime also
favors the production of nitrate of
potash in the soil. This is particularly
true when lime is used on soils receiv
ing considerable stable manure.
Lime and Organic Compounds. Lime
hastens the "decomposition of organic
master and inert nitrogen compounds
of humus in the soil, and promotes the
formation of ammonia and nitrate com
pounds from the same. It also, as has
been seen above, aids in the formation
of compounds not easily wrested from
the soil. Lime promotes nitrifying fer
ments and makes possible their exist
ence in many cases that would be im
possible without its presence.
Lime produces particularly good re
sults if applied after using green ma
nuring, as it acts chemically and unites
with some parts of the organic matter
and leaves the remainder in a disorgan;
ized condition, which rapidly decom
poses. It is, perhaps, this tendency to
destroy organic matter that makes the
frequent use of lime pernicious. AH
evidence teacnes us . mat lime is no
substitute for manure, but only a re-
enforcement of it. No doubt much" land
has been reduced fo the verge of steril
ity by applying lime continually until
all the organic matter , has been used
up. Such procedure is probably re
sponsible for the old proverb. "Lime
enriches the father, but beggars tlio
son."
Lime and Phosphoric Acid. If a soil
contains much phosphoric acid com
bined with iron and alumina which is
relatively Inert, an application of lime
will change it Into a form available to
plants. Lime applied to soils which
have received or will receive applica
Hons of dissolved phosphates will not
produce any harmful results or cause
a loss of the phosphoric acid. It may
hasten the reversion of the soluble
phosphoric acid, but the phosphoric
acid will still be in an available condi
tion. In the average soil this reversion
takes place In any case within 24 hours
after applying the phosphateT

Bootblack Who Accidentally
Offended a Good Customer.
A Hyde Park man is saying mean
things about the little bootblacks on the
suburban trains. It seems Smytbe that
is as good a name as any bought an aft
ernoon paper and settled down in the
smoking coach for a few minutes with
the news. When the train got in mo
tion, the uniformed mud remover came
around with his new box.
"Polish, sir? Fix them up fine."
"Guess you can blacken them np," re
sponded Smythe, his eye still on . the
sporting columns.
"Blacken them, sir?"
"Certainly! Can't you blacken my
shoes before we reach Hyde Park?"
"If you want me to."
"Certainly I"want you to. blacken
them. Come, come! Get to work."
The little fellow spread out his assort
ment of boxes and brushes and proceed
ed without further delay. Smythe con
tinued to read.
"All right, sir," said the bootblack,
taking his box from under Smythe's foot.
Depositing the coin in his register, he
was off for another shine. When the
train slowed np at Hyde Park, Smythe
folded his paper and hurried home.
"Gracious!" exclaimed Mrs. Smythe as
she caught a glimpse of her husband's
brilliant footwear. "Why did you change
your shoes at the officer
"Change them?" echoed Smythe.
"Certainly! You have on a black pair.
When you left this mornmg you wore
those new russets."
Smythe set his teeth firmly to prevent
any sulphurous remarks from slipping
out.
"Ella," he finally blurted, "they ought
to be discharged."
"Who?"
"The bootblacks on the train. Tho
idea of that boy daubing blacking on
thes brown shoes!"
"Henry, 1 bet you told him to blacken
your shoes."
"Well, er"
"Certainly you did! Yon must blame
your own absent mind." Chicago News.
The Number of Vote He Got.
A local candidate who was defeated
for a hieh office did not have the sym
pathy of his wife. She would have sinned
the honors of office with him gracefully
enough, but she was not willing to share
his defeat. A friend of the candidate
was In to talk over the campaign with
him one evenint after the election, and
the wife sat near by darning stockings,
armarentlv uninterested in the conversa
tion.
"How many votes did you say you
rot In Allozhanv county?" asked the
caller.
"Whv, I think it was in the neighbor-
hood"-
"Well. you needn't think anything
about it," interrupted his wife. "'I know
how many you got. You got just enough
votes to make a fool of yourself."
