Wlllemstarft, Island of Curacoa, OcL
15.—The battle near La Victoria, Yen*
cniela, between the army commanded
• by President Castro ami the revolution.
. ary forces, which began Monday morn-
tog, and resulted in the retirement of
President Castro to La Victoria Tues
day afternoon, was resumed again
fiercely at 5 o’clock Wednesday morn
ing. At that time the president had
received reinforcements and had ovei
6,000 men engaged against 7,000 rev
olutionists. The artillery played
part never before seen In Venezuela.
Shortly before 0 o’clock Wednesday af
ternoon the revolutionists appeared
to have gained a slight advantage.
The president's artillery, which nuro
be red 15 guns had been reduced to
four guns. LaVictoria was crowded
with wounded and there were no pro
visions.
The British steamer Indefatigable
left LaGuaiia for Tucacas with pro-
visions for the foreigu residents there,
some of whom are said to be dying ol
hunger ns n result of tho concentra
tion measures adopted by the Vcnczir
elan authorities. Tho Indefctigablo
to accomplish her mission will have to
- run the blockade of Tucacas.
The German cruiser Vinota has also
left La Guaira and It is regarded as
probable that she is also hound for
Tucacas.
The French cruiser Suchet arrived
at Carupano yesterday nnd entered
a protest against the arbitrary arrest
of private citizens, who were sub-
soquently released with an apology.
Fighting took place Monday and Tues.
day between the government forces
and revolutionists at Carupano.
The German cruiser Panther has
forced an entrance of the Orlnoca riv
er, and has reached Ciudad Bollver to
protect Gorman interests there. Unit
ed States Minister Bowen has an
nounced that he will not ask for
guard of bluejackets to protect tho
United States legation at Caracas, and
all his colleagues will follow Mr. Bow.
