Tee Fall of Puerto COLLABORATION and
lAis Party Discouraged - Progress OF


Tee Fall of Puerto CabellO-FaIcOn and
His Party Discouraged - Progress of
MOnagas.
In detail of our cable dispatches from vene-
zuela, we have mail advices, via st. Thomas,
August 20, as tollows:-
The latest news from the Venezuelan republic
is to August 20. 1t foreshadows the completion
of Monagas' revolutionary movement, and the
near approach of its full triumph. On the 10Th
Puerto Cabello came into Monagas' possession,
having been surrendered by such of the Fal-
conisis as remained in the place. This was not
accomplished without bloodshed. For four
days before the event the fighting around the
place was hot and severe. In one OF the
engagements General Bruzual, the leader of
the Falcon party, was very badly wounded,
and was thereapon transferred to one of
the ships in the harbor that left for
Curacao after the fail of the city. On her arrival
there General Bruzual was landed but died
blow to the Falcon party, as he was its most
active and determined partisan. He is, indeed,
much regretted by his friends. He leaves a
young widow and two small children. The
steamer Pururuche also arrived at Curacao from
Puerto Cabello, having left the latter port imme-
dlately afier its surrender. She brought about
seventy officers and men OF its late garrison,
many of them wounded. The fall of his strong
hold at Puerto Cabello has greatly discouraged
President Falcon, and the reports from Curacao
announce that he has given up all hopes of
returning to the Presidential chair OF Venezuela,
and that he is about leaving tor ST. Thomas
here TO take the next steamer Tor Europe, where
be contempates passing his remaining days.
Ins Caracas it was supposed by many that
Monagas would not be candidate for the Presi-
dency at the regular elections in October. Senor
Della Costa, the present able Governor OF the
State OF Guyana, was thought certain in such
an event to become the next President of the
Republic. Having kept aloof from the revolu-
tons that have within the last ten years afflicted
Venezuela, he is man without enemies aud
counts his friends everywhere. His election
will prove more highly satisfactory to all classes
nf IN haf nf ON Oth han mt
public man in the country. He is the person
best adapted towards insuring peace and tran
qulllity, which is what Venezuela needs the
most at present. Moreover, he is a very good
merchant, and may do something II made
President, to relieve the embarrassed finances OF
the republic.

of their sin and shame amounted to between
one and two hundred dollars per week, which
was all taken by the woman Davis, and during
all that time they did not receive any money
whatever. When they attempted to leave the
house in charge OF the detective q huge negress,
employed in the house, insisted upon stripping off
the dresses and hats the girls wore, acting, no
doubt, on instructions from her mistress; but she
was prevented from carrying out her design by
the detective. When arraigned before the In
spector, the woman Davis stated that the girls
had not earned more than enough to pay their
board and the necessaries with which she
claimed to have supplied them. A very affect
ing meeting took place between the mother aud
the erring daughter; the. former declared that
no matter how vile life her daughter had led
all that she desired was that 8 he should return
home with her. The daughter, to save her
mother greater pain than she had already
suffered, declared that she had done nothing
wrong, but that she had been working in fac
left Headquarters together, and returned home
by the Boston boat lost evening.
Mrs. Davis was then brought before Inspector
Dilks, who rated her soundly for har boring such
young girls in her house, and expressed his
intention of breaking up her business. He then
required her to dsgorge sufficient of the money
she had earned by the girls living in her house
to defIay their expenses back to Boston, aud
also the expenses of the mothers trip to this
city In search of her daughter This she at first
utterly refused TO do insisting that the girls had
not made much money in the house and that
they were in debt to her; but finding the In
spector memorable, and that she would be COM
PEELED TO undergo nights Imprisonment in the
cells unless she would dlsgorge, she submitted
to the force of circumstances and handed over
the money. She was then allowed to depart
and, accompanied by female friend, got into
carriage and was driven off. The girls expressed
great contriion at their fall, and were fully de-
termined to lead different lItein future.-M Y.

Special Despatch TO The Evening Telegraph.
ST. LOUIS Sept. 1.-Governor Fletcher, Sec
retary Redman, Congressman Van Horn, and
other leading Republicans are in the city. 1t
is rumored that at meeting yesterday the
Governor was urged to call special session of
the Legislature.
At Franklin last evening, while Democratic
meeting was in progress, train passed through
with General Hancock on board, which soon
becoming known, he was received with great
enthusiasm and called on for a speech. He
thanked the people for the reception thus
rendered to stranger, and was glad
to be present if only for few
moments at such large gathering of the
irienos OF Seymour and Blair. His hearts best
wishes were with them in the contest, and he
regretted that time would not permit him to
speak at length, but before the canvass closed he
would be able 70 address the people of Missouri
upon the important issues of the day. He hoped
for triumphant victory, and bade them fare

ST. THOMAS.
Arrival of GunbOats-Baecist Expecta-
tiAnS.


The same correspondent says:-The Danish
gun boat Diana, three guns has arrived from
Denmark and has relieved the corvette Dagmar
from West Indian station service. The steamers
and connecting vessels OF the Royal Mail Com
pany, with the exception of the Colon boat,
waited until the 23d for the Southampton
steamer, when, the latter not having arrived,
they severally proceeded on their destination.
The adherents of Baez here were considerably
vexed by the nonarrval of the Atrato, since
they expected final reports by her as to the two
million dollar loan under negotiation for the Do
minican Government with certain bankers Of
London. I am unable to say whether the ad-
vices brought by the Tasmsnian relieved their
impatience or not. In case they did they still
have another c0ntreiemps to endure in the want
of immediate communication with st. Domingo,
the mail steamer touching there having left at
her regular time of departure and there being
no ordinary packet for weeks to come. Presi-
dent Baez and partisans depend greatly upon
this loan for the means of suppressing present
and future instructions in st. Domingo and for
firmly establishing the lease Of power of those
now holding the reins OF government in the Do
mnican republic.
ST. Thomas is still cursed with a severe
drought the worst effects of which are felt in
scarcity OF water. The district OF Ponce, in the
neighboring island of Porto Rico, is suffering
even more than this place because of the need
of rain. Unless blessed with some ere long the
new crop of the district is likely to be lost.

Reported Success of the Salnavists ut
MlrApOnnp

MiragOane.
A correspondent writing from ST. Thomas
Aug. 20, reports the iollowing:-
hear from Hayti that President Salnave has
lately been very successful in his man9uvres,
having carried the town of Miramon mira
goane, probably, by storm. This caused great
rejoicing at Port-au Prince. The inhabitants Of
that suffering city hopefully anticipate the
raising of the siege by the revolutionists as a
consequence Of the tdU d'drmes of his sable
EXcellency.
The news from Cape Haytien Is likewise
highly fav 9rable to the Government. On the
9th battle was fought near the place, in which
the insurgents were defeated by the Salnavlsts
with great loss in killed and wounded aud
that of piece OF artillery. The rebels were
commanded by Generals Base and Minard, the
former very influential parsonage among the
Cacos.
The last mail steamer from Jacmel to this
place brought number Of refugees from Hayti,
who agree in representing the country as being
in complete state OF anarchy, with want aud
misery staring the people in the face. Even the
wealthy have Oitentimes great difficulties in
obtaining wherewith to subsist. The war now
being carried on is said by these refugees to be
one of eXtermination. Neither party can
triumph except through the destruction of the
other and with an attendant impoverisnment of
the country. The friends OF the black race have
truly TO hope against hope for the restoration OF
peace and order in Hayti.
