to the Venezuela Troubles.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Sit was rumored
aoout the state department this afternoon
that news had been received from Vene-
zuela to the effect that the disturbance had
again broken out and that the state of
affairs was SO serious as to require con
tinuance on the coast of Admiral Walkers
feet. Nothing can be learned from the
officials of the department. The sdvices
received indicate sudden change in the
situation, as the cablegram received
yesterday from Admiral Walker stated
that everything was quiet.
ANOTHER REPORT.
New York, Oct. 5.-The steamship Ven
ezuela arrived from La Guayra this after
moon. According TO the news size brought,
the long struggle IN Venezuela was near
ing an end and will result in the overthrow
of the government which made such per-
sistent fight. Collno had joined forces
with Crespo, and they were advancing on
Caracas. Crespo has possession Of every
city and stronghold except Las Heques,
Msraciabo and Caracas.
Or the 2Sth there was battle between
the revolutionists and government troops
at Mscuto Ia which the revoiutionists were
defeated.
When the Venezuela left La Gusyra on
the 18th ul.imo, the revoluticnists were
looking along The coast for the steamer
South Portland, which sailed from New
York some time ago with q cargo Of arms.
Apparently no effort is being made to get
hold of the six political refugees seized by
General Urdeneta on board the steamer
Caracas, in the harbor of Puerto C8bello.
several weeks ago, neither Admiral Wal
ker nor Minister Scruggs knows Just
where the six men are.
The government does not know where the
refugees are, The man who seized them
ia now in armed opposition to the COVER
ment. Reports are current, however, that
the six refugees are having hard time in
the dungeons of fort San Carlos at Mar
iacaibo. Their friends say they are being
very badly treated in addition to being
half starved.
From accounts given by the passengers
of the Venezuela, it appears that the cap
tain of the Spanish gunb boat Jorge Juan Is
running things to suit himself in the har-
Dor, and city Of La Gusyra. The captain,
it seems gives protection to every foreigner
who needs it. and is as result highly pop
ular with the foreign element in La
Guayra. Officers Of ships speak of him In
terms Of unstiD ted praise. The Spaniard
took it upon himself among other things to
protect American ships from many petty
annoyonces thrust upon them by the Gus
toms authorities. When the Venezuela ar
rived at La Guayra there was trouble
about landing. The customs authorities
refused to allow the snip to land unless
she deposited her register in the customs
house. Captain Hopkins refused to give
up the register but turned it over to the
american consul. then with. the captain of
Spanish gunboat on board, captain Hop
kins pulled into the break water, the Span
lard then suggested that the captain call
for help from the American men-of-war,
the signal was run up, and hardly had 1t
got to the peak, when a boat was dropped
into the water from the Chicago and
twenty-five marines tumbled into 1t. The
marines soon had possession of the Ven
ezuela's deck and there was no further
trouble
