THE TYPOGRAPHICAL
UNION CONVENTION
Many Changes in By-Laws Are
Adopted Delegates Object to
Ladies' Auxilliary.
By Kxclushc Wire from The Associated Press.
Cincinnati, Aug. 13. The convention
of the International Typographical
union adopted many changes in Its
laws today. After providing yesterday
for the oldest substitute getting the
first vacancy It today restricted the
hours per week to a maximum of 54,
put evening papers with Sunday edi
tions on the evening bnsls and made
many minor changes. An effort to In
clude superlntedents as well as foremen
In the membership failed. It developed
that there will be strong opposition
among the delegates to endorsing the
newly organized International ladles'
auxiliary although there Is no opposi
tion! to local ladies auxiliaries.
The convention became very animated
over an "alleged factional fight" that
was participated In by the Indianapolis
union and showed its conservative spirit
In defeating a proposition to prohibit
nnv member from belonging to the
militia.
Music hull, with a capacity of more
than 5,000 persons, was packed tonight
nt the celebration of the golden jubilee
of the Typographical union, which per
fected its International organization In
this tlty in 1852. The exercises began
with an elaborate musical programme,
In which Miss Nannie Flack was the
leading soloist, The great organ was
presided over by Prof. A. J. Boex, and
the Llederkranz society gave several
numbers. Among the speakers were
Governor A. B. White, of West Vir
ginia; President Joseph M. Lynch und
Delegates McReynolds, of Cincinnati;
Armstrong, of this city; Bodreault, of
Otta.a, and Daveler, of Salt Lake City,

Bevolutionlsts Beceive Large Ship

Dy Kxelushe Wire from The Associated Press.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug. 13. News
has renched here by the steamer Cara
cas that the Venezuelan revolutionary
forces under General Matos and tho
government troops under President
Castro are expected soon to meet on
the plains outside of Caracas In a de
cisive battle. The Venezuelan revolu
tionists are said to have received a
large shipment of Mauser rifles and
ammunition and some cannon from
Germany. Plots against the life of
President Castro are said to have been
discovered.
Port of Spain, Aug. 13. The Venezue
lan revolutionists are attacking Cumana
and intend to storm the city within 24
hours. The government cannot oppose
more than 350 men to the 1,100 revolu
tionists composing the attacking party.
Cincinnati Sails.
Washington, Aug. 13. Over night the
navy department received word that
the Cincinnati had sailed yesterday
from Puerto Cabello for Barcelona
under the Instruction cabled yesterday
to Commander McLean. Commander
McLean decided to go himself and leave
the Topeka to protect American in
terests at Puerto Cabello. It Is prob
able that the Cincinnati already has ar
rived at Barcelona, but that fact may
not be known ofliclally here for several
days.
Minister Bowen cabled the state de
partment from Caracas today that thq
Ouble from Caracas to Carcelona haa
again been cut by the revolutionists. On
Monday he reported thot this cable had
been cut, but presumably It had been
repaired In the Interim.
Neither the state or navy department
has received" confirmation of the press
despatches from Port-of-Spaln, which
were conveyed there from Barcelona by
boat, of the extent of the fighting at
Barcelona und of the report that the
American, Itallnn nnd Dutch consulates
had been pillaged. The officers of tho
navy department are confident thnt
Commander McLean with the Cincin
nati will be able to take care of Ameri
can Interests.
Owing to the generally disturbed con
dition of affairs all along tho line of
the Venezuelan coast and the appeals
of Minister Bowen for warships the
question whether our naval force In
those waters Is sufficient to take care
of the existing situation and to meet
future contingencies has been can
vassed. For the present, It has been
decided, It Is necessary to send an ad
ditional vessel. We now have three
warships at the critical points, the Cin
cinnati at Barcelona, the Topeka at
Puerto Cabello, where the Germans al
ready have landed a force, and tho
Marietta at the mouth of the Orinoco,
which has been declared blockaded by
tlie Castro government.
The question of nffordlr . an asylum
to President Castro aboard an American
warship, in case he should be obliged to
flee fiom the country, and should hava
no other means of escape, has not been
seriously considered by the state de
partment, us It Is not believed that his
condition at present is desperate enough
to make such a move Imperative. Be
sides, It Is reported through the press
despatches that he has a vessel at La
Guayra upon which he can embark for
France It the necessity should arise.
