SACK DF BARCELONA
Not Only Are Houses Looted,
But Money Demanded.
THE CABLES WERE WOT CUT
.Venezuelan Revolutionists Are In
Control ot Forlo Cabello, but
So American Mnrlnea Havo
Been. Landed There.
V7ASHINGTON, Aug. It Under flat of
Wednesday, the 13tb tost.. Minister Bowen,
at Caracas, reports to the Stat Depart
.ment that the situation there is very criti
cal. At the time of filing his dispatch ho
had heard nothing: from th Cincinnati or
the Marietta. Ho says the sacking or
Barcelona continues, and that much val
uable property is being destroyed.
At the Navy Department a cablegram
has been received from Commander Mc
Lean reporting tho arrival or the Cincin
nati at Barcelona. The Marietta Is at
Port of Spain, Trinidad, and Is subject to
the orders of Commander McLean. Com
mander McXrean'6 dispatch to tho depart
ment was In part as follows:
"Barcelona occupied by revolutionists.
They have Imprisoned all civil officials
and military officers and are in possession
of entire district. Some pillaging done,
but everything now quiet Twenty-nine
business houses . sacked, mostly foreign,
eIbo 15 private dwellings."
The fact that the Navy Department re
ceived the above dispatch direct from
Commander McLean at Barcelona, ehowB
that Minister Bowen's dispatch of yes
terday from Caracas saying-that the Bar
celona cable had been cut was Incorrect.
The presumption at tho Navy Department
Is that the revolutionists, who are in con
trol at-Barcelona, refused to allow mes
sages -to go through, to Caracas, where
Castro has his headquarters, and that this
accounted for the report from that Venez
uelan capital that the Barcelona cable had
been severed. The Navy Department of
ficials cannot conceive that Commander
McLean would have failed to report so im
portant a fact If the cables had been tam
pered with. They are Inclined to think
that the revolutionists dn-jsacking the
town, seized what they -could lay iolr
hands on, but were very careful not to
disturb the interests of Americans or
others, whose governments might make
trouble for them
Minister Bowen, In the dispatch, the
contents of which the State Department
made public today, says he Is advised by
the United States Consul at Barcelona
that the revolutionists "are sacking that
town and searching private houses. j.aey
are demanding money from foreign resi
dents In exchange ' for a guarantee for
safety or lives and property."
Tho dispatch from Commander McLean
,was sent since that of Minister Bowen.
Rebels Hold Another Port.
Just before the department closed a dis
patch was received from Commander
Nickels, of the Topeka, at-Porto Cabello,
stating that the revolutionists were in
control, and that there w;as no-danger of
an attempt to retake the town by the
government forces. Commander 'Nickels
.acknowledged the receipt of instructions
directing him to land a force In case of
necessity but stated that the necessity for
such a step had not arisen. In official
circles the control of Porto Cabello by the
revolutionists Is considered a signal vic
tory for that party, as it is a place of
etrateglc importance. It has. about 10.000
people, and is situated in a large, deep and
safe harbor, by means of which. If neces
sary, troops and supplies may be landed
or dispatched to other places in the coun
try. Porto Cabello is but a short sail
irom La Guayra, which Is not .far from
the Venezuelan capitoL A ;crisls in af
fairs at Porto Cabello. where the insur
gents have been gathering strength, has
existed for some time, and today's news
irom Commander Nickels confirms the
prediction that a battle would be soon
fought there. Tho Topeka is looking
after the interests of Americans in 'that
section of the country, and Commander
Nickels was given full directions to land a
force If necessary, and also to prevent a
bombardment without due. notice. This
act was made at the suggestion of Consul
Bowen, and closely followed a notice from
the Germans that they intend to take
similar steps for the protection of Ger
man Interests. Commander Nickels' dis
patch is the first official information that
reached "Washington that the revolution
ists have secured control of Porto Ca
bello The place called Anguatora, mentioned in
Commander Rogers' dispatch from Port of
Spain, as In the hands, of the revolution
ists, is about 250 miles up the Orinoco
River, and the more modern name for It
is Cludad Bolivar. General Matos, who
is practically at the head of the revolu
tion against Castro, took this town some
time ago, and left one of his Lieutenants
in charge. According to Information now
in possession of officials here, Castro is
being hemmed in from three sides at Car
acas. General Matos advanced from Mall
var to the northwest to a place called
Ortlco, about CO miles south of Caracas.
Ten days ago Castro was reported as hav
ing left tho capital with a force to meet
the revolutionary General, but subsequent
ly he changed his mind and returned.
More recent advices indicated that a battle
was Imminent on the plains south of Car
acas. Early this week the revolutionists took
Barcelona, to the eastward of Caracas and
how, according to this last dispatch from
Commander Nickels, they have obtained
control or Porto Cabello, to the westward.
tho fact that the government has seized
three or the steamers or the Orinoco Com
pany at San Felix Is not a cause of con
cern here, as it Is understood that these
Ships fly the Venezuelan flag, and the
right to Impress ships for government use
I well settled. No further steps have
been taken toward sending additional ships
to Venezuela, and no fresh instructions
have been sent to the commanders of tho
American ships there, as the reports re
ceived from them are considered satisfac
tory.
American Vessels Detained.
"WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 The Navy De
partment' is in receipt of the following
dispatch from Commander Rogers, of tho
Marietta, dated Port of Spain, August 12:
"There probably are three American
citizens at Angustora, Venezuela. Life
and property safe when ship sailed. City
controlled by revolutionary military chief,
Foreign subjects alarmed over situation.
Three American steamers of the Orinoco
Company forcibly detained at San Felix
tor government use."
NE"W TORK, Aug. 14. At the offices
of the Orinoco Steamship Company in this
tlty it was stated that no information re
garding the forcible detention of any of
meir Teaseis oy me Venezuelan Govern
ment had been received. The comnanv
which is American-owned, has a fleet of
nine vessels, all of which, with the excep
tion ot one flying theAmerican flag, are
Dnaerxne Venezuelan sianaaro. The op
tratlons of the company are confined to
Venezuelan territory, and. consist of a
iervlce between Trinidad, Cludad Bolivar
End otner points on tne Orinoco River.

NEW YORK, Aug. HaMlng from
Port of Spain, Trinidad, the :Herald cor
respondent says.:.. The -faltjf -.Barcelona
fcio the hands of -the Venezuelan revo
lutionists has put renewed strength into
the campaign. The committee having
in chergo the Interests of the Matos party
is enthusiastic over this new success. The
revolutionists now hold the customs ports
of Cludad Bolivar, Gulria, Cono, Colo
rado, Coro, Corupano and Barcelona. It
is probable thit Ccmona will be captured
Thursday.
In view of this situation the commltteo
purposes to address at once a memorandum
to the nations, asking that the revolution
ists be recognized as belligerents. It is
generally understood that Great Britain
and one other nation have intimated that
they favor granting the request, even in
advance of its presentation.
LONDON, Aug. It Tho Associated
Press learns that the question of recog
nizing th Venezuelan revolutionists as
belligerents is not being considered at the

to the State Department today that tele

DUMONT LEAVES SUDDENLY
Breaks His EngnBcment With tho
New Yorlc Aero Club.
NEW YORK, A.ug. 14. Santos-Dumont,
the aeronaut, sailed for France on La
Touralne today. Ho said he would re
turn to this country In time for the air
ship contest at the St. Louis Exposition.
"I shall go to work on my arrival in
France to put my new airship In condi
tion for the St. Louis Exposition," he ssld.
"My other machine at Brighton Beach I
have sold, and I do not know what Is to
be done with it I had fully intended to
make the Battery trip, and when I return
I will perhaps be able to do so."
Dumont said that he was not a rich
man, and he could not make an exhibi
tion of this kind without assurances that
his expenses would be paid. When In
France, he said, he received word that tbo
Aero Club of America had offered a prizo
or 525.000 for a flight from Brighton Beach
to tho Battery in this city. In response
to this offer ho came over with his ma
chine. "Since I have been etaying here,"
continued the aeronaut "I have heard
various rumors that the offer was not le
gitimate. Whether that Is true or not I
don't know; but I am not going to taxe
any risks, and. therefore, have decided
not to make the sail."
George Francis Kerr, the secretary of
the Aero Club, expressed much surprise
when told of the aeronaut's departure,
"I cannot see why Mr. Dumont has sailed
without making his trip, as all the prep
arations for it have been practically
made," he said. "It was only yesterday
that Mr. Dumont told me to order the
hydrogen gas with which his balloon was
to be Inflated, and he at all times seemed
to be most enthusiastic over the trip.
The only loser in this case will be the
Aero Club, members of which have spent
quite a sum of money In preparations
for Mr. Dumont's trip."

LINKS IN THE CHAIN
MAKING USE OF A. HORSE.TO SOLVE
BARTHOLIN MYSTERY.
Chicaffo Police Believe They Have
Strong Evidence Against the Men
Under Suspicion.
CHICAGO, Aug. 14. Inspector Hunt, of
tho Hyde Park police station, today began
systematically to weave the net of evi
dence in the mysterious murders of Mrs.
Anne Bartholin and Miss Minnie Mitchell
about Oscar Thompson, who for over 20
years was a roomer of Mrs. Bartholin in
tho Calmuet-avenue death-house.
The identity of the mysterious woman
in black, who last night told the in
spector she had seen William Bartholin,
Oscar Thompson and "Old Dad" Clatfey
wrangling over Thompson's laundry wag
on on tho morning of the Mitchell girl's
supposed murder, was cleared up. She
is Mrs. Mary Tallerday. Today she pos
itively identified Thompson's wagon and
KILLING HIS
horse as those she had eeen with tho
men.
For several hours this morning Inspect
or Hunt took every -possible device to In
duce the prisoner to throw some light on
tho mystery. All night a "stool pigeon"
had been In Thompson's cell, but nothing
was learned. The prisoner paced his cell
In a nervous frenzy. In answer to the
Inspector's queries today he said that
he had no recollection of what ho did 4hc
supposed night of the Mitchell murder.-
He remembered having aten his supper
and of feeding the dog tho next morning.
The Interval, however, was a blank.
Thompson said that Edwards, ono of Mrs.
Bartholin's roomers, was a doctor, and
might have "doped" him.
Confirmation of tho story told by Mrs.
Tallerday came when D. A. Mayers, a
Oscar Thompson, Held ns Suspect la
Bartholin Case.
motorman of a Wallace and Center-ave-nuo
electric car, told the police that he
had seen the laundry wagon whero Mrs.
Tallerday described it as- being between
3 and 4 o'clock on the morning following
Minnie Mitchell's death. Meyers identi
fied the horse and wagon as Thompson's.
Thi3, the police say, satisfied them that
Mlnnlo Mitchell was murdered In the
Bartholin home and carted far out on
Mrs. Anna Bartholin, one of the
murdered.
State street Thompson has become al
most a physical wreck under the "sweat
box" ordeal, and appears to be breaking
down.
What tho polico believe to be another
strong link In the chain of evidence being
forged around the men under suspicion
was developed tonight when Police Lieu
tenant Backus, under instructions from
Inspector Hunt, took the horse and laun
dry wagon, which it Is thought may have
been used to convey the Txdy of Minnie
Mitchell to the spot where it was found,
and went over the Game ground again.
Two police officers who wero unaware of
tho locality where the body was found
were put In charge of tho wagon. After
proceeding leisurely to Sixty-eighth and
Stato street, the horse was turned into
State street and given his head. Slowly
ho ambled along to within 250 feet of the
spot where Minnie Mitchell's, body was
found. There he stopped and" nibbled a
bunch of grass growing along the side
of tho road. Then, turning a half-circle,
ho crossed the road and stopped at a
point directly in front of where the polico
had found a pair of bloody cuffs on the
prairie, a few feet from tho road, whlclr
are believed, to belong to Bartholin. At
this point tho driver turned the horse
about, and he crossed Slxty-olghth street
and stopped at a point where Minnie
Mitchell's shoo had been previously
picked up. From this point the horse
leisurely took his way south until within
a few feet of Seventy-fifth street where
he turned abruptly and retraced his steps,
Btopping about 20 feet north of Seventy
fourth street and about 45 feet north of
where the body was found. A second test
was made by Lieutenant Backus, and
upon this occasion tho horse stopped di
rectly in front of the spot whero tho
body was found.
Witnesses have been produced who will
testify that Oscar Thompson, John Claffy
and a third man, supposed to have been
Bartholin, wero In the street ..with the
horse and wagon at daylight the morn
ing after the disappearance of Minnie
Mitchell.

SUBJECT TO TAX.
Revenue Will Be Collected From
Banks' Profit and Loss Accounts.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. Commissioner
Yerkes, of the Internal Revenue Bureau,
haa directed that immediate steps be
taken for the collection of the taxes on
profit and loss accounts or undivided
profits accounts of banks, trust compa
nles or private banks, under the war rev
enue act of June. 1893. The amount to be
collected will approximate, it Is said,
5300,000. Under the opinion of the Depart
ment of Justice the tax had only been
collected on the captal and surplus of
banks, but the Commissioner ruled last
January that the undivided profits of
profit and loss accounts of banks are part
or the surplus and thereby subject to tax.
After this ruling was made by request
of representatives of banks the Com
missioner agreed, on January 27 last, to
withhold collection pending a decision by
the United States District Court In a suit
to be brought to test the question. This
suit was brought In the southern district
of New York by the Leather Manufactur
ers' Bank of New York and was decided a
few weeks ago adversely to the bank, the
court sustaining the position taken by
tlie Commissioner.
This tax was repealed by the last Con
gress, the repeal to take effect July 1.
1902, so that at present there Is no In
ternal revenue tax on capital, surplus or
undivided profits of banks. The tax to
be collected will be for the year ended
July 1, 1902.

The board finds that tho water is not
mineral water, but it also hold3 that the

Is enumerated in the free list, in part 31,
which covers minerals, crude ' or not ad
vanced in value or condition by refining

having failed to make this claim, how
ever, the protest Is overruled, and duty
will have to be paid In this Instance, and
in the case of future shipments of holy
water it will come In free.

ALL QUOTATIONS OF OURS IX OREGOXIAN OF WEDfESDAY AND
TELEGRAM OF THURSDAY NOT II ERE MENTIONED ARB IN FORCE.
HER GREAT FORTUNE
A Woman Saved From Life-Long
Misery and Made Happy '
and Useful.
A woman confined to the house for
several years with a chronic female
derangement had finally given up hope
qf being cured.
She had tried physician after phy
sician, and remedy after remedy, without
any permanont Improvement
Her treatment had cost her. husband,
who was a poor man, hundreds of dol
lars. They had been obliged to deny
themselves many comforts of life In
order to get money enough to pay the
physicians.
Yet in spite of all economy there was
a small mortgage on their property be
cause of the expense her Illness had
brought upon them.
Tho woman had beco'me weik, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children wer
wore growing up neglected and ragged,
because of the want ot a mother's care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read in Item which contained
the news that Dr. Hartman would treat
such cases free of charge by letter. She
Immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her symp
toms. She soon received a letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medi
cines and appliances to get. She began
the treatment (the principal remedy be
ing Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks
she was well and strong again, able to
do her own work.
This offer of free home treatment to
women Is still open to all who may need
the services of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment will
be promptly answered, and bo held
strictly confidential.
Miss J. Newlove. 25 Rowley street,
Rochester, N. Y. writes:
"I suffered with systemic catarrh, had
such a tired feeling, faint spells, pain in
the back of my head and over my eyes,
got so I could hardly see. I was getting
very nervous so that my hands trembled.
I was chilly nearly al the time. Durintr
I the months I doctored I lost 40 pounds
j so I thought I would have to to some
thing else. Peruna was recommended to
me by a friend, and I gave It a trial.
Now I feel better than I have for years
do not think I could feel any better."
MISS J. NEWLOVE.
Miss Estella Richardson, 4S Straight
street, Grand Rapids, Mich., writes:
"I have been troubled, as most women
aro. with irregularities and pains at my
menstrual period, and a friend advised
me to try Peruna, and so I did. This
seemed to relieve the pain and I kept on
taking It until now I am well and strong,
have no pains whatever and feel like a
new woman, and am gaining In fiesh and
etrength."
MISS ESTELLA RICHARDSON.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
