New Yobk, March 6. A special to
the World from Caracas eays :
The ninety days allowed Venezuela to
answer the demand for indemnity for
the arrest of the English officials, Barnes
and Baker, on the Uruan river, in De
cember,1894, has expired. The govern
. ment will not speak officially, but the
highest authority is given for the state'
ment that the "Venezuelan government
refused to pay the indemnity, declaring
that the question of arrest and boundary
dispute cannot be separated. To pay
the indemnity would be to recognize
British sovereignty over Venezuelan
territory.
It is believed here that unless Sir
Julian Pauncefote nr,l Miniver Andrade
can arrange the matter fvuiefurtorily in
Washington. Eneiariil w il' us tiie force
to collect! the money, treating the arrests
as distinct from the boundary.
Approaching Venezuela.
London, March 6. The Times has in
formation from Curacoa, in ;the Danish
West Indies, that the authorities at that
place have been advised that a British
squadron of five ships will arrive there
shortly. Curacoa is about seventy-five
miles from the Venezuelan coast.
RIOTING CONTINUED.
Scenes of Violence in All Large Ital
ian Cities.
Rome, March 6. Rioting caused by
the anger of the people at the conduct of
the Abyssinian campaign was continued
last night in nearly -every large city in
Italy, although a rainstorm cleared the
streets of the capital.
At Milan the mob marched through
the principal streets, smashing windows
riebt and left, and yelling execrations
on Crispi and the ministers. The riot
ers went to the railway station with the
. intention of preventing Jthe departure
from Milan of the army reserve of that
city and neighborhood belonging to the
class of . 1872, but the authorities kept
the men in the barracks and sent a regi
ment of infantry to guardtbe railroad
station. These precautions only in
creased. the excitement of the mob lead
ers and an attempt was made to break
Into the depot. Sharp encounters fol
lowed. The soldiers and, carabiniera
were pelted with stones, and bayonets
and swords were used to drive back the
crowds. Some soldiers and policemen
were injured. Scores of rioters were
slightly wounded.
The disturbances continued until 2 a.
".. when the troops at the point of the
ibayojgt had cleared the railroad station
fand th', neighborhood of rioters, and es
tatabK a cordon of soldiers about it,
while guarding with strong pickets,-all
approaches.
There is today a marked improvement
in the demeanor of the populace. A
proclamation by . the mayor enjoined
the inhabitants to be calm and avoid as
semblages, which would tend to develop
riotous demonstrations. Business is
proceeding as usual and the only evi
dence here ofjthe recent disturbances
are the strong additional guards of sol
diers about the palace and all public
buildings.
There was serious rioting at Parma
last night. The municipal buildings
were besieged by angry mobs, windows
were smashed and the troops fired a vol
ley over the heads of the most riotous
of the mob. . The rioters then scattered,
pursued by the carabinieri, who succeed
ed in capturing several leaders of the
disturbances. They will be kept pris
oners until the popular excitement sub
sides.

Washington today. He said :
"Those who keep their fingers on the
pulse of the political public say it is
growing more certain every day tnat
neither Reed nor McKmley can be nom

DREIBUND TO DISSOLV
Expected to Follow the De
feat of the Italians.
ITALY'S. WITHDRAWAL INEVITABLE
Agreement May Nominally Continue
' Until End of Its Present Term, but
It Will Then Lapse.
Beblin, March 7. The defeat of the
Italians at Adowa is warmly discussed
in political circles here, and the opinion
prevailing is that it will lead to a pract
cal, if not a formal dissolution of the
dreibund. vThat Emperor William has
telegraphed his sympathy to King Hum
bert does not alter theTact that interna'
tional politics will take on
Count Goluchowski, the Austrian
minister for foreign affairs, who ie com
ing to Berlin for three days next week
and who will be banqueted at the palace
by Prince Hobenlohe, is undoubtedly
visiting this capital on an . important
political mission, which may include
readjustment or modification of the drei
bund, and the expression of Austria
wish for rapproaebment with Great
Britain. A conservative leader, of the
reichstag, who is in touch with foreign
office, informed the correspondent of the
Associated Press today that the with-
drawal of Italy from the dreibund was
inevitable, as national bankruptcy stares
her in the fuce. He added':
"In the event of a great war, Italy
would be financially impotent. Besides
hes disasters in Africa have shaken Ger
many's confidence in the usefulness of
her army. The fall of Crispi will also
bring a strong anti-dreibund sentiment
to Italy. The dreibund, however, may
nominally continue until the expiration
of its present term but it will then
lapse."
As Viewed In London
London, March 7. The disaster suf
fered by the Italian troops in Africa has
caused a sensation in Great Britain, and
is thought likely to lead to a fresh ad
vance by the dervishes into Upper
Egypt. General Barateri's defeat muse
have an enormous moral effect in Africa
and diminish considerably the prestige
of European troops of all nationalities.
The defeat at Adowa, moreover, serious
ly affects Italy's position in Europe po
litically and financially.
As to its bearing on the dreibund, a
number of contradictory reports are in
circulation. On one side Russia, France
and Germany are reported to have come
to some sort of an agreement upon their
course in the future; on the other hand,
it is said today that Austria is alarmed
and is urging Germany to cement a bet
ter understanding with Great Britain,
The latter supposition is likely to be
correct, but the accomplishment of Aus
tria's plan looks difficult, as things now
stand. If it is true that Russia and
France have been secretly : assisting
King Menelek against Italy, it would
seem but natural that Emperor William,
who has been leaving no stone unturned
to bring about more cordial relations be
tween Germany and Russia, should side
with the latter power and France in a
joint endeavor to crush Italy's colonial
aspirations in Africa, and by so doinir
strike a blow at Germany's leading
colonial rival, Great Britain.
According toa leading provincal news
paper, Italy has applied to Great Britain
forassistance, chiefly financial, and re
port has it that a large Italian loan will
soon be floated in London. In addition
Important communications are said to
have passed between the two govern?
ments relating to the possible movement
of Egyptian troops about the Upper
Nile; ''.;-. w . . '; -
Military men here express much sym
pathy for Italy in her troubles and sev
eral former British . army officers have
already offered their services to the Ital
ian government for duty in Africa.
London, March : 7. The possibility
of
a rearrangement of the dreibund, hinted
at from St. Petersburg aa one of the re
sults of the terrible disaster to the Ital
ian army- in Abyssinia, is .attracting
more' attention than the matter, it is
claimed, really deserves under the cir
cumstances. It is asserted,' in support
of this, statement, that to all intents and
purposes, Russia, France and Germany
have already an,-understanding .which
really amounts to: a setting aside of the
old triple alliance. In any case, there is
doubt that Italy, has been hard hit by
the defeat of General Barateri, more fi
nancially, probably, than in- the number
of men killed, and much more treasure
must be poured into the Bands of Africa
if the dreams of brilliant colonial achieve
ments are to become realities, and in no
country, probably not even in Spain, is
there a crowned head resting so uneasily
as that of King Humbert at present.
It is not astonishing that the best
friends of Italy seem nnable in emergen
cy to Buggest a way out of her difficulties
which is likely to reflect credit on that
country. If the war is pushed the fin an
cial strain will be dangerously severe ; if
the African colonies are abandoned, the
effect will be almost as dangerous. A
middle course, tue conclusion of peace
with Abyssinia, may not bo possible if it
is trne that France aud Russia have
been arming the Shoans. ' A great re
sponsiDUity, tnereioro, will rest upon
the incoming Italian ministry.

PULPITS AND PEWS -
M. E. CHUBCH.
Th8 sermon of the morning by Rev.
Wood was from the subject, "Sunlight
on a' Dark Day." Quoting familiar
characters in sacred history, he recited
some darkest event in their career, be'
ing tempered by the consolation and aid
of the divine Master. We all have our
dark days. Sooner or later comes trib
ulation. In the hour of bereavement,
the dav is very dark, and the heart is
oppressed by a weight that seemingly
robs life ot every pleasure. But there
comes the promise from the word, "Fear
not ; only beileve," and by the exercise
of faith there comes sunshine to lighten
the gloom. The subject for the evening
discourse was "Drifting," Lukexv:13.
The wayward life of the prodigal son
formed the basis of the discourse. At
tention was called to the individual
drifting from truth, righteousness and
God as the basis of all drifting, politi
cally, financially, socially and religiously.
Drifting frequently begins with separa
tion from home .influences. The tide of
influence ttiat carries man to ruin is
sensual lust, aided by evils too common
in social life. The result of drifting is a
wasted life, ending in remorse of con
science, and eternal death. In view of
our great danger of drifting, and the fact
that men drift unconsciously ,-.we should
practice prayerful ' self-examination.
We should give all ' diligence to avoid
drifting, since. by our influence we may
deprive others of that which is dearer to
them than gold ; and the value of our
lives Is determined by our influence upon
others for good. We should consider
each moment of drifting as one of immi
nent danger, since we may at any time
pass the line of possible recovery.' The
Christian's hope, which is the realization
of divine aid, faithfully followed, is the
only sure anchorage for the soul.

RIOTING ATS BILBOA
Greatest Demonstration Yet
Made in Spain.
TWELVE THOUSAND RIOTERS
Gave Kxpressinn to the Anger Felt
Toward the United States Police
' We Almost Powerless.
Bilboa, Spain, March 9. There was
another anti-American riot here today,
in -vhich about 12,000 people took part.
The excitement was started by some
young men at a street corner cheering
every soldier who passed. Their con
duct was imitated by other groups.
Some musicians who refused to repeat
the national anthem were hustled and
beaten, and 'riotous groups formed in
the main streets denouncing the United
States.
The authorities did everything possi
ble to maintain order. Almost the en
tire police force turned out, and the riot
ers were dispersed- aeain and again.
Eventually, however, the mob became
bo numerous and excited that the police
were almost helpless.
After the first demonstration of sym
pathy with the army, the crowds armed
themselves with sticks and cudgels, the
police were swept aside, and an immense
crowd gathered on the leading thorough
fares and marched toward the residence
of the United States consul shouting.
"Long Live Spain!" "Down With the
Yankees!" .
On the way to the consul's residence
they hurled stones through the windows
of stores and private residences, .over
turned vehicles, pulled several mounted
policemen from their horses, and genej-
ally behaved in the most threatening
manner. Stores dealing in American
goods received the most attention from
the mob, and the windows of the consul's
house were badly shattered , although
the police defended the building. The
mob proceeded toward the United States
consulate, evedently intending to stone
that building as well, but the author
lties had taken precautions to send a
strong force of police to guard it.
Another detachment was stationed
across the street leading to the consu
late, and when the mob neared the United
States consulate it was confronted by
police with drawn swords. The mob
halted, then began pelting the police
vigorously with stones and brickB. A
quad of gen d'armes charged the rioters,
and the latter fired pistols at the police
men, two of whom were wounded. The
police then charged in a body.using their
swords with good effect. The rioters
were dispersed, yelling and hooting at
the authorities, and shouting, "Down
with the Yankees!" and "Long live
Spain !" .
' STILL IN THE COUNTY JAIL.
Dnrrant Awaiting Final Action hy the
Supreme Conrt
San Fbancisco, March 9. On April 6
next a year will have passed since the
murder ot Blanche Lamont, and yet
Theodore Durrant, who was convicted of
her murder last November, is still in the
county jail waiting the finale of the state
supreme court in the case. Immediately
after Durrani's conviction an appeal
was taken, but the case has not been
presented to the supreme court, owing
to requests for additional time made by
both sides.
The last postponement took place a
week ago when the prosecution was
granted twenty days in which to file
a bill of exceptions. : At the end of this
time it is believed the case will be pre
sented to the supreme court, but a de
cision is not- expected for several
months. Durrant was sentenced to be
hanged February 21st, but the slow
manner in which justice is meted out to
murderers in this state make it probable
that he will not meet his death much
before the close of this year. .. ;
Meanwhile : the prisoner, spends bis
time at the county jail much the same
as the other inmates. Ho has few visit
ors and devotes most of his time to read
ing and writing. He has written a his
tory of his life and lately he is said to
have begun the study of law. - : . v. .
