advices received hero today from Caracas,
Venezuela, under date of August 10, give
accounts of numerous engagements In the
slate of Tachtrn between President Castro's
forces and the revolutionists. In General
Castro's ofllclnl bulletins ho mentioned the
Colombian army. Ho reported engagements
flnco the battle of San Cristobal, July 2!,
at Plrlneos, La Klllpas, La Parada, La
Urlta, Encontrados, Colon and Las Cumbrcs,
all In Tachlra. The Venezuelan fatalities,
according to Castro's official bulletins, were
General Rosen do Madlna and four colonels
killed and 300 men killed or wounded. Ma
dlna was a prominent man. He was for
merly a governor and senator. August 3
there was an encounter at Las Cumbrcs
with a second force of revolutionists.
The News' Caracas correspondent, writ
ing A.gust 10, says another army has In
vaded Venezuela. This second force Is re

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. At the State
department the reported death of General
L'rlbc-l'rlbA could not be confirmed In any
official quarter.
It is expected that Machlas will com
plete Its coaling and taking on of ammu
nition by tonight and will be off for Panama
tomorrow morning. In tills connection It
has been noted that the Trench warship
Suchet already has arrived at Colon. Al
though the French arc understood to have
considerable property Interests on the Isth
mus It Is said that there Is no provision In
the treaty between France and Colombia
similar to that In the treaty between France
nnd the United States, requiring that free
transit across the Isthmus shall bo kept
open. However, It Is not doubted that tho
presence of Suohnt will havo a salutary In
fluence In quieting disorder. Tho state
ments made In tho French press to the
effect that the Incident might lead to Amer
ican acquisition In that quarter received
no attention or credence In the best posted
omnia! quarters.

CHICAGO RIVALRY AGAINST OUTSIDERS
Drilling for Conl nr Sioux Fnllx,
SIOUX FALLS, S. D Aug. 14. (Special.)
It has Just been discovered that pros
pectors for coal havo been at work for sev
eral weeks nt a point In the hills along the
Dig Sioux river northeast of tho city and
havo now reached a depth of 138 feet. Last
summer a Chicago man mado discoveries
which convinced him that there were good
coal prospects In tho hills near town. Ho
secured a lease for a term of years on a
considerable tract of ground and several
weeks ago put a force of men nt work. The
drill has struck a formation of slato at a
dopth of 13S feet, which, It Is claimed, al
ways overlies coalbeds. It has been gen
erally understood that there Is neither coal
In this part of the stato nor gold, so there
Is considerable Interest In the outcome of
the work of tho prospectors.

WHITEWOOD, S. D., Aug. 14. (Special.)
Two threshing machines were about de
stroyed this week by some unknown person
near this city. They were left In the field

him. As soon as the work of destruction
had been discovered two bloodhounds were
put on tho trail of those who did tho work
nnd traced footprints to n neighboring
house, where the deputy sheriff was met by
the wife with a shotgun In her bands. The
husband was not at home. It Is believed
that he did the damage to the machines. As
soon as he returns home an examination of
his premises will be made. There has been
bad blood between West nnd him for some
time. The damage will amount to several
hundred dollars.

Tno tenth annual convention of the Rail
way Postal Clerks' association of the Sixth
district, held In Omaha yesterday ln
the federal building, was ono of
tho most successful of any of the con
ventions of tho order. Tho Sixth district,
comprising the states of Illinois, Iowa, Ne
braska, South Dakota and Wyoming Is, at
the present ttmo, the most lmprotnnt of all
the dhtrlcts In tho country ln the national
association, for the reason that the national
president, C. L. Shaffer, resides In this dis
trict and for this reason tho action of tho
district convention Is watched with con
siderable? Interest by tho members of tho
association In other parts of the country.
The meeting was harmonious on the out
side, but the pleasant exterior covered
smouldering fires which from time to tlnio
threatened to break Into flames and only
the delay of the committee on resolutions
sacd the convention from wrangling.
As It was the wrangling was done In
caucus and ln a recess which consumed an
hour of the afternoon session.
The real fight of the convention was bo
tween the champions of tho Railway Mall,
a newspaper published In the Interests of
the p03tal clerks at Chicago and tho Rail
way Postoffice, published at St. Paul and
known as the official organ of the associa
tion. A resolution was Introduced ln tho
convention endorsing the policy of tho ofTl
clnl paper and of Its editor, Mr. Elliott.
The resolution went to tho commlttco on
resolutions and from before noon until
after 4 o'clock that committee wrestled
with that resolution, It being adopted Just
before the commltteo submitted Its report
Tho delegates from Chicago, It Is asserted,
wanted to run the entire convention and
also, as usual, tho outsiders combined
against the big town, with the result that lt
was given tho vice presidency and tho
choice of flrst place as alternate to the
national couvcntlon. The Chicago forces
wcre led by H. Hadsell, who at the elec
tion of officers attempted to set aside- lho
usual order and elect a man other than tho
last vice president to the presidency of tho
division association. Tho man chosen for
this purpose was John C. Wallace of Uur
llugton, la. Ho got twenty-ono votes to
fifteen cast for C. W. Flshcl of Cedar Rap
Ids and this vote showed tho comparative
strength of the contending forces
All of the other officers wcre elected by
acclamation, W. J. Uureess of Chicago bo
ing chosen vice president nnd John T.
Johnston of Omaha secretary-treasurer,
The election of delegates resulted ln tho
choice of W. G. Uruce of Cheyenne, T. E
Carpenter of Cedar Rapids, G. E. McCon-
nell of Council Bluffs, II. W. Yates of Lln
coin, Frank Planert of Cairo, III. Alter
nates were: John Tehon of Chicago, Walter

convention.
After adjournment the visitors wero taken
to Manawa, where entertainment waa pro
vlded by tbc local association.
At the forenoon session of the conven
tlon, which met at 10 o'clock ln tho federal
courtroom, an address of welcome was de
livered by President Mettlen of the local
association; response was made by Presi
dent Flschel and then the usual commltteos
wero appointed . The principal event o
the morning session was the address of
C. L. Shaffer, national president of tho as
sociation. Mr. Shaffer tn tho courso ot his
remarks took up the question of a reclass
Iflcatlon of tho service.
He said that ln tho effort to secure a
reclassification the association was rccelv
Ing the hearty support of the department
which recognized that the present clasnlflca
tlon wac Inadequate and worked a hard
ship upon the employes. Tho last classlflca
tlon was made In 1882 nnd since that
tlmo there has been progress mado tn
every department of the service. Tho
duties of the employes have Increased and
becomo more diversified. Tbo work re
quired of a clerk nineteen years ago Is
not to be compared with the work of slml
lar clerks today. The effectiveness of the
service and tho average ability of the clerks
havo kept pace, but there has been no
change ln the classification.
Tho desire for change In tho classification
Is acentuntcd by the fact that with re
classification will como a slight Increase In
tho wages of the clerks. Tho speaker be
lleved that with tho Increnso proposed the
condition of the clerks would not relatively
be as good as It was In 1882, as slnco that
tlmo, and esptclally this year, the cost ot
living was advanced ln a greater degree.
Referring to a case In point, he said that
this year ho was required to pay, under
special agreement, 35 cents for meals at
railway eating houses, where ho has pre
viously secured them for 25 cents, and that
with this Increase ln tbo cost of living he
has no-opportunity to recelvo Increased In
come, The speaker also took up tho matter of
the benefit association ot the order, saying
that while that branch had 2,000 members
at tho time ot tho annual convention last
year. It now has 6,000. The benefit associa
tion pays 13,000 at the death of a member
and tl5 per week as Indemnity In case of
Injury. This It has maintained for several
years at a cost of SI per month, while be
fore the association was organized old line
companies charged railway mall clerks $22
per year for tho same service.
