BRENNAN fi ROBERTS, Washington, Feb. 2.—Further possible complications in the Venezuela imbroglio are Indicated by a dispatch received this morning, which says that the revolutionists have won a decided victory near Cua, some CO miles south of Caracas. As, this dispatch bears the date line, "Willemstad," headquarters of General Matos, the revolutionist leader, there is not much credence given to the item. It is recognized, however, that this is one of the ever present dangers of the situation. Both Germany and Great Britain have schemed from the first to foster the desires of the rebels, and one of the reasons for the prolonged blockade is that it will give Matos and his people more chance to effect a coup which will overthrow Castro.

London, Feb. 2.—The illness of another minister was announced this morning, thus adding to the already unheard-of demoralized condition of the British cabinet. Earl Selborne. first. Lord of the Admiralty, is siclc with acute rheumatism and has cancelled all engagements. Lord Balfour and Lord Lansdowne are still sick, while Secretary of War Broderlck is abroad.

The Second regiment contingent, consisting of Companies B, C, X), E and F of New Haven, arrived over the Naugatuck division at about 10:15 and were escorted by the police. By this time the streets were crowded with people, and there was a noisy demonstration, though there was no sign of active violence whatever.- Roast, AT OUR PRICES. The British foreign office, however, is credited with having brought forward the preferential claim with the hope of gaining an advantage which would conciliate the English public, which Is Incensed against the alliance and disgusted with the lack of results beneficial to England.

France, It Is said, re- Bounced forever by the convention of 1885 the exercise of thlsD right on con- Jltlon that the interest on this debt should nlways be regularly paid. As this payment has not been made, France, without asking the authorlza'Jon of Germany, England and Italy, jitends to revive her right of direct :oilection. The French chnrge d'af'alres, M. Quievreux, has paid visits to the foreign ministry and has twice sailed on-President Castro in the last forty-eight hours. France Taken a Hand. Germany, on the other hand, is cred* ited with agreeing to the preferential claims because it gave German intention's in South America a longer lease of life. The universal condemnation of the greed of the allies in claiming priority in the division of customs is understood to have driven the British government to recede from Its position, but the Berllu government still clings to It.

Castro Anancra Rowen Murphy & Joyce. Italy Will Chsistize Tribes. Constantinople, Feb. 2.—Italy has again threatened the Porte that if the piracy In the Red Sea is not effectively wiped out It will be necessary for the Italian government to undertake the chastisement of the coast tribes. The presence of a company at the barns was deemed necessary, as there are still acts of violence in that vicinity. Several new cars were attacked by a small crowd of boys, who broke all the windows and the registers. The armory Is not large enough to accommodate the mon here, and the old Auditorium, on South Main street, and the high school buildings have been called Into use for the overflow.

Boston, Feb. 2.—On account of the objection of employment of machinists upon boiler work, 55 bollermakers .and iron shipbuilders employed in the yards of George Lawler & Sons' Corporation. yacht and shipbuilders of South Boston, have gone on strike. Boston Boilermakers Strike. The delay of the powers In taking final action Is regarded as favorable to the hope of settlement of the entire controversy on a basis of equality for all, because representatives in England, Germany and Italy are learning the tremendous strength of public feellug against the course of the allies and the resoluteness with which the lesser claimant nations hold that they must be allowed settlement on the same terms and at the same time with the allied powers.

Nothing has occurred in the last three days which would justify any of them In ndvising his government to Insist on preferential treatment.

As described by a high governmental official, the attitude of the Roosevelt administration Is this: THE LEADIN&- 6R0CER. "The allies' programme of coercion of Venezuela has done them no good. They have blockaded and bombarded, I nut with more damage to themselves than to Venezuela. Now that settlement is In sight, they realize the stupidity which has marked their policy from the tlrst. They want to gain something at the eleventh hour. They deflre to emerge from the negotiations for settlement with the appearance of having gained something. So they are attempting to gain prestige by acquiring preferential treatment. They want to go each before Its own people able to say: 'We have gained preferential treatment In the settlement of our claims. This Is worth all the trouble of the alliance.' E.
