Berenda, Cal., May 19. — President
Rooeevelt broke all road records for
Yoeèmite park travel yesterday when
bis coach came from Yosemite to Ray­
mond, where his train awaited him,
in ten hoars of actual travel. The dis­
tance is 69 miles.
The president passed his lest night in
camp at Bridal Veil Falls, a few miles
from the postofflbe at Yosemite.
He
slept soondly, and when be awoke in
the morning declared he had never felt
better in his life. His looks bore out
his words. He had lost all appearance
of being tired, and his eyes were bright.
The members ol his party who had
passed Saturday afternoon and Sunday
at Yosemite, joined the president at
the Tails. Here he hid good-bye to his
guides, Leidig and Leonard, and mount*,
ed to his seat on the coach beside the
driver. The morning was cool and
clear, and the dost was not as bother­
some as on the trip into the valley.
No incidObt occurred to mar the
pleasure of the drive, and tbe coaches
rolled'into Wawona shortly before 11
o’clock.
Here luncheon was taken,
and at 12:20 tbo trip to Raymond was
began. The driver of the president’s
coach waa on his mettle, and he pnt
his horses to their best paces.

the dustiest of the trip, and the
president and his traveling companions
were badly in need of a bath when
they reached thsir train.
An escort of cavalry from Fort Wood,
which is situated at Wawona, accom­
panied the president to Raymond.
When Berenda was leached the presi­
dent found a large crowd gathered to
greet him. A special train from Fres­
no brought members of the chamber of
commerce and their friends, and they
warmly greeted the president as he ap­
peared on tbe rear platform of his car.
He made a brief address, thanking- the
people for coming to see him.
REBELS ARE QAININQ.
Venezuelan Forces are Being Decimated
at a Rapid Rate.
Washington, M iy $0.— Advices of a
thoroughly reliable character received
in Washington, under date of May 10,
show that thk Venezuelan revolutionists
are not only holding their own, but are
making considerable headway.
Tbe
advices ssy:
Tbe districts of Coro, Barquisimeto
and Tncacas, on tbe west side, and
Cindad Bolivar, on tbe Orinoco, and its
snrronnding country, ate still in tbe
power of revolotioniste.
Within 60
miles of La Gnayra, in the Rio Chioo
district, tbe revolutionists are bolding
forth, and, altbongb tbe government, a
few weeks ago sent an expedition there
to drive them out, they succeeded only
in making them retreat, and within a
few days they were again back there.
A battle took placd, in which the gov­
ernment lost otsr 1,000 men snd about
300 wounded were brought back to La
Gnayra after a two days’ fight.
On tbe other hand, the revolutionists
have not suceceded in ousting the gov­
ernment or in winning any particular
fight, but they are decimating the gov­
ernment troops, and the goverhm^nt
has not more than 3,000 man nnder
arms.

8t. Petersburg, May 20.— The Rus­
sian officials express themselves aa be­
ing deeply hart at tbe criticisms of tbe
American press on tbe subject of Man­
churia, and say that, “ considering tbe
friendship extended 40 years ago, when
America needed frismis, America might
at least inquire whether the Anglo-
Japaneee news waa not colored in
Anglo-Japanese interests."
The Manchurian incident threatened
at one time to cause serious troubls on

informed him that “ under the Influ­
ence of American representations, Jap­

kan troubles, the Bourse was danger­
ously weak. The finanon minister also
declared that a continuance of tbe for­

Mr. Morrison left Lnebo early in April.
On bearing bis story of abuses, tbe
society for tbe protection of tbe Aborig-
inee, in London, look up tbe matter,
and Mr. Morrison furnished a report to
Foreign Secretary Lanadowne. Tbe re­
port will be taken up by parliament on
May 20.
“ I come here to lay* tbe matter be­
fore tbe secretary of state,“ he raid,
“ and I believe that the action of those
in authority both here and in England
will result in better conditions in tbe
Congo freestato. It ia not a free state.
In Lnebo, where I have been working,

virtual slavery.

W IL L IMPORT CHINESE.
South American MJneowaers Expect to
Override Popular Prejudice.
London, May 19.—-.The importation
of Chinese labor into Routh Africa waa
decided upon in principal some time
ago, bnt no definite plana havs yet been
found regarding the number to be im­
ported not the conditions to govern tbe
importation.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and
the big firms of tbe Rand are in agree­
ment that no other solution of tbe labor
difficnlty is possible.
A t pretent half
tbs stamps at tbe mine are idle because
only 60,000 Kaffirs are procurable,
when 150,000 men are required! As a
consequence, tbe conditions at Johan­
nesburg are daily growing worse and
business is slack.
White labors s
flocked there at tbe close of the war,
but they were unable to find satisfactory
employment, and discontent is rife.
This salts tbe Rend magnates, wbo
are loth to accept the sole responsibili­
ty for introducing yellow labor, and
hope that tbe prevailing paralysis of
trade will soon lead to a popular de­
mand for tbe importation of even tbe
“ bated Chinese," so that the mines
may be set working at tbeir fall capac­
ity, with a consequent revival of busi­
ness depending thereon.
Up to tbe
present, however, the trading popula­
tion of Sooth Afrjca is bitterly opposed
to tbe importation of Chinese.
PALM A W IL L AID TREATIES.
He W ill Urge Interests of America In the
C abas Congress*----- ----- — ■.
Havana, May 19.— President Palma
today assured the correspondent of tbe
Aseociated Press that understandings
would be reached on dll the treaties be­
tween tbe United 8tates and Cuba, and
that the signing of them w ill follow
shortly. He also «aid he would do all
he possibly could to secure their ratifi­
cation during the present session of the
oongreee of Cuba, but it <s generally
believed that the reluctance of senators
to conclude farther treatie# before the
reciprocity question is settled makes it
^doubtful whether tbe naval stations
can be occupied before another year.
The order of signing tbs treaties will
be: First, tbe Platt amendment; sec­
ond, tbe naval stations; third, tbe Isle
of Pines. Tbe question of obtaining
the aoldiera’ pay loan promptly en­
grossed public attentionjto the exclusion
of tbe treaties, bnt tbs more intelligent
of the people realise that tbe conclusion
of the treaties wilLmake tbs loan more
easily and advantageously obtainable
in tbs United States Markets.

MACHEN FOUND AT FAULT.

Washington, May 18.— The staig*
ment ia made in Washington today, on
what is regarded aa reliable authority,
that the postoffice authorities'have
about concluded their investigation of
the affairs o f^be free'delivery division
and tbe conduct ofJgSuperintendent
Machen and w ill, late in June, make

to the new spapers^w ill indicate cer­
tain minor acta of poor administration
on the part of Machen, and suggest
that these are results of the investi­
gation, without indicating that they are
the entire result.
With this report,
tbe postmaster genera^will submit the
statement that Mr. Machen has re­
signed.
It is stated that Inspector Foene« has
discovered a number of irregularities,
which w ill prove to be examples of un­
justifiable business methods on the part
of Machen, and that it will be inti­
mated to Machen that he might do well
to resign, especially when he has had
assnranoe that tbe portions of the re­
port to be given to the public will * be
conservatively bandied by ,the author­
ities of the department.
PRESIDIO IS A DISQRACB.
President W in Urge Secretary Root to
Renovate It at Once.
San Francisco, May 18.— The Bulle­
tin says:
“ President Rooeevelt has reached
the conclusion that the quarters snd
barracks at the Presidio are disgraceful,
considering the rise and importance of
the reservation.
He is, therefore, go­
ing to make it his immediate business
to write to Secretary Root, and ask
that a large sum of money he diverted
immediately to the renovation of the
Preeidio.
Whether there is enough
money already appropriated to be of
much use in building this immense
post, with its garrisons of two regi­
ment« of infantry, enough artillery to
form more than a regiment, and a
squadron of cavalry, or wbstber it w ill
be necessary to wait „for tbe reassem­
bling of congress to get tbe earn of
money, smounting to $1,000,000 or
more, which would be required for sn
entire remodeling, is a question, but it
is certain that tbe president is suffi­
ciently interested to take active steps
at ones to make tbe Presidio tbe kind
of place it should b e ."
Railroad Loses Long Fight In Court.
Chicago, May 18.— By the provisions
of a decree lost signed by Judge Tn’ey,
tbe Illinois Central railroad will have
to improve its right of way between
Randolph street and Park Row by con­
structing in place of the stone wall a
picket fence , which will in no wav in­
terfere with a good view of Lake Michi­
gan. A new viadnet at Monroe street
is also demanded.
The cost of all the
improvements f i l l be about !60,000.
The decree puts an end to litigation
tha£ has dragged through eight years,
enforcing an ordinance passed in 1895.
