Extract OF letter from Caracas. dated
Goth Sept. 1917.
" Last Sunday the indul.o for the in
sursents WAS published here wi h o great
deal Of pornp 5000 troops were under
arms, and lrrcd the streets from the house
of the capt general 10 the Cathedral, the
market, and other places where the gen.
passed through. In the. evening there
were balls, concerts and also a general
rcj"iclrg.' IN Mexico the iaduito hes
had the most happy effect, ard complete
ly terminated the civil war. Here I
doubted similar result, although Of late
the insurgents have been worsied in all
directions, as you will see by The publ.
papers send you herewith. Yesterday
accounts were received Of 4 comv!cle
victory by Calzsdo over Paez. The lat
ter lost 400 men killed, and SEQ priso.
ners, COCO horses, a great number OF cat
tie and all his camp equipage. Thi, bat
tie was subsequent to that announced in
tie Gazette. A few battles mere OF this
importance. will certainly reduce the in
surgent forces TO mere skeleton. Tie
loss Of their horses will BE- most severely
felt by them. Deserters are daily pre-
senting themselves, who are sent to their
respective homes. General MorIllo has
ordered all the prisoners to be set at L.
brIty, they enjo,ing the benefit OF tie IN
duIto. II is expected that gen. Z"
will surrender and take the benefit 81 the
indulto."
