WASHINGTON, July 14.—Minister
Bowen considers the situation in Ven-
ezuela such that at the request of the
state department, the navy department
has decided to send an additional ship
to La Guayra, and to-morrow on the
arrival of the. Marietta at Kingston.
Ja., for which place she sailed to-day
from Cape Haytlen, she will be met
by orders to proceed to La Guayra.
The Marietta was under orders to
go to Colon to relieve the Machias.
The Topeka, which has been at La
Guayra, sailed to-day for Curacoa, via
Puerto Cabello. The navy deparment
does not believe the Marietta will be
able to carry out her original orders
to relieve the Machias. The only ex-
planation at the department for dis-
patching the Marietta to La Guayra is
that Minister Bowen may need her for
purposes of communication.

ance as to permit of .recreant demo-
a plank including labor organisations,
under the head of trusts and prohibit-
ing their organization. There are hun-
dreds of other planks of minor Import-
ance stuck away in delegates' pockets,
and It is evident that in the absence of
anything else exgiting. Texas demoo-
raoy will try and spend all its surplus
energy on a platform that may be more
farreaching thn a blanket primary.
Along this line of blanket primaries, it
is now conceded that the convention
will make It mandatory to hold uniform
primaries and thereby take away much
of the capital the Cockrell men have
been making his race on. As to his -
race for the state chairmanship, the
Cockrell men are presenting a bold
front, but it seems to be the prevailing
opinion that Wells will be re-ominate
without any trouble at all, thus reduc-
ihg all Issues before this convention to
a mere question of what kind of a plat-
form is necessary to suit Texas de-
mocracy.
The ubiquitous James 8. Hogg, erst-
while governor of Texas, appeared on
the scene of action this morning ana
made no secret of his preferences. He
Was suarely.for Cockrell and propos-
ed to do all he could for him. "Wells
is a mighty good man," said the ex-
governor. "but he don't seem to make
a good chairman.”
Wells has many supporters—In fact,
all the members of the congressional
delegation now In Galveston are for
the Brownsville tpan. Such men as
Hon. Tom Ball, Bob Henry, James 1.
Slayden, George T. Burgess and others
propose to give them their support
These gentlemen are fully aware of
the fact that the new democratic
party in the Lone Star state must
send a sold delegation to congress if
within the range of possibility; they
are aware that the republicans are
wide nwake In three of the Texas dis-
tricts. and are getting things fixed to
make it a lively campaign In the dis-
tricts In Southwest and South Texas
at any rate. They consider that Jim
Wells is easily the best prepared man
to handle matters in the ensuing cam-
paign.
Anent the chairman's race, at 1
o'clock this morning connicting state-
ments are given out from the Cockrell
and Wells headquarters. The Cockrell
men claim a total of 572 votes, while the
Wells people claim 140 majority of all
counties represented and claim a ma-
jority of those yet to be heard from,
which they claim will assure Wells’
election.

Prominent among those on hand to-

delegation, who are here presumably to
look after the platform utterances, and
it is thought that they will control this
particular feature of the convention.
As to what they want and what they
expect to get they are quite as much at

sation with them, as to Ite opening, tut
they are not quite certain what the

would be wise to reagirm the Kansas

GALVESTON, July 14.—For the first
time in its history the Texas democ-
racy will meet in this city tomorrow in
regular convention with no issues and
no opposing candidates to consider.
This fact explains why the attendance
should be comparatively small and the
convention session brief. There may
be some bluster about the platform,’
not a reiteration, but merely an en-
dorsement. There may be some flurry
over the chairmanshtp. but It will be
very little and one roll call will settle
that. There is nothing further to hold
the convention. Some may say that the
railroads, In not granting very low
rates, have Interfered with the attend-
ance. but such is not the case; there is
nothing before the convention to draw
the plain people here, hence they are
not here. The professional politician
is here by business instincts, but that
should not be held up against the rail-
roads; the great Kansas City platform,
which was so reversed, as advised a
few years ago, is now a thing of annoy-
ance, and as soon as II is acted on. ir
a half-hearted way, the convention will
be ready to quit, and will. The attend-
ance up to tonight is comparatively
light and it bids fair to remain so,
though predictions are to the effect

VENICE, July 14.—The campanile
(detached bell tower) of St. Marks'
r church, ninety-eight meters high, col-
lapsed at 10:40 this morning and fell
with a great crash Into the plaza,
r The campanile, which was entirely
I detached from the cathedral, collaps-
ed where it stood and is now a heap
of ruins. The ruins are surrounded by
a lordon of troops. The first intima-
tion of danger was the sudden ap-
pearance yesterday of longitudinal
cracks in the corner of the wall facing
the clock tower and the breaking of
two windows. A concert which had
been arranged to be held on the plaza
yesterday evening was stopped by the
order of the prefect with the object of
preventing a concourse of people. The
campanile in falling carried away the
Sansavino logette and library of the
royal palace. Premonitory signs of
the collapse allowed a partial clear-
ance of the plaza, and there were no
fatalities, but a few persons were in-
jured.
A little before the collapse a noise
of falling stones within the bell tower
warned the shopkeepers, workmen and
tourists of the Impending disaster, and
all fled, crying: "The campanile is
falling." When the disaster was com-
' prehended Venetians were seen in the
streets bemoaning the destruction of
one of the oldest art treasures In the
kingdom. Four of Sansavino’s stat-
ues of Venetian nobles were demolish-
ed in the Sansovino logetta, while a

safes in the express car were blown
open, but It is asserted by the officers
of the Rio Grande Express company
that the robbers failed to secure any
plunder from the safes.
The passengers were compelled to
alight from the cars and line up along
the tracks in the canon and they were
relieved of their money and valuables.
Many of the passengers threw away
their money, watches and Jewelry
among the rocks before the robbers
searched them. There were many
tourists among the passengers, and
While It is not known how much the
robbers secured, It is presumed that
the losses wore heavy.
The train was the westbound nar-
row gauge passenger that left Denver
last night. The cars, at usual at this
season, were all lined. There were
four robbers. The scene of the rob-
bery is in a wild, mountainous coun-
try. at the foot of Marshall Pass, on
the west slope.
The bandits mounted horses and dis-
appeared in the ravines that lead into
Marshall Pass. The sheriff at Salida
and the mnerifs of adjoining counties
and a dozen posses are in pursuit.

It is well to state that Hogg arrived on
the grounds this morning. When asked
about his previous utterances to the ef-
feet that he did not intend being here,
Hogg replied that no one ever heard
of his being forty miles from a conven-
tion and not attending it. When asked
what was coming up, he grinned, and
said maybe something,
"I was right about something,” said
Hogg, "and that was that this is a
railroad convention. Coming over o

made to the Vatican in answer to its
first general reply to Governor Taft.
These instructions to Governor Taft
were prepared before Secretary Root
left Washington, but were deemed of
such Importance that submission td the
president was thought desirable. The
position of the United States is un-
changed and the instructions of Sec-
retary Root issued before Governor
Taft went to Rome are adhered to in
every essential. The Important point
of these instructions was that the friars
should be withdrawn and upon this
question the administration remains
flrm. The rejoinder is a diplomatic
document and couched in such lan-
guage that there will be a continuance
of the negotiations.
