NEARLY AT AN END
The Revolutionary War in ven-
eZuda.
5000 MARCHING ON CARACAS
Under General Calino and Crespo, Who
Count That City the Key to
the Situation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The steamship
Venezuela which arrived from La
guayra, this afternoon brought the
latest news from the Venezuela revo-
luton. AS affairs stand now the long
struggle is near an end and will result
in the over throw of the government
which has made euch a persistent fight.
According to the reports General
Alino, with G force of 5000 men joined
General Crespo the revolutionist leader
at Valencia on Sunday, Sept. %. This,
the report saws, made CrespO's force
number 200 men. On Monday Sept.
% General Crespo started his force
from Caracas and a portion
of ms advance guard arrived
at LaNeclorla on sept. 2S.
Crespo is advancing his forces upon
Caracas by different routes and they
are expected TO meet in Caracas. The
march from Valencia would occupy
from twelve to fifteen days provided
there is no interruption. At LasPe-
oues the revoluIionlsts will fight their
decisive battle. LasPeques is the best
fortified place that the government
holds, and General Pelldo Is there with
6 900 soldiers. 1t will be necessary for
Crespo to take this point before he can
enter Caracas. Once he is IN posses
zion of LasPeques his entrance INTO
Caracas will be an easy matter. On
September % there was battle be-
tween the revolutonists and govern
ment troops OF a place called
Macuto, which is just outside OF
Latiuayra and the revoiu;ionists were
defeated. Each SIDE had about 5000
men. The revolutionist troops were
approaching the town of La Gnayra
when the government troops opened
fire upon them from the mountain side
and from the advantage OF their posi-
ton succeeded in putting the revolu-
tionists TO flight. All those who can
are leaving Caracas, but IN order to do
so must obtain the PERMISSION oil the
highest officials IN power.

He reached the post before the um

He reached the post before the um-
pres house on foot, almost dragging
his lame and exhausted horse over the
line. Ii is thought that Count Star
homberg, who rode to Berlin IN seventy
one hours and thlrty-five minutes, will
get first prize. He made SIX halts dur
ing the journey and rested altogether
twelve hours. He lost his way near
Berlin, otherwise he would have COW
cred the course IN seventy hours al
most. Next TO the last man TO arrive
last evening was Lieutenant Hoefer,
who covered the course In seventy
two hours and forty-two minutes
Captain Helligsetter came in last, lead
ing his horses which was completely
tagged. He had walked the last four
teen hours of the way.
There was a panic in the crowd
awaiting the riders at the finish post
here this afternoon when Lieut.. c.
ZolnokIes' horse bolted Immediately
after crossing the line. The horse
plunged toward the thickest Of the
crowd, but was reined to one side and
stopped before trampIing anybody.
Nobody was injured. The most re.
markable feature of the race so far is
that the horse now supposed to 5e tbs
winner showed no fatigue. Count
Startmerberg, who owns and rode this
horse, says that 1t gave no evidence OF
distress al any time during the journey

Another interesting case with some
very romantic features attached 10 II
IS that of Herman Sturm We. F. 4.
Baker. IL comes from the United
States circuit court for Indiana. The
case originated IN the expedition filed
out by General Sturfn 20 sell arms 10
the Mexican government years ago.
HIS vessels were wrecked but the
insurance company refused to pay the
insurance, claiming fraud. When the
court 1t turned on the question whether
contract between Sturm and Baker
was a forgery. Judge Gresham decid-
ed that II had been forged and Judge
Wade decided otherwise, Judge
Greshsu's opinion decided the case.
Charges of forgery and other serious
allegations are involved IN the case.

California; application of Robert A.

the utmost enthusiasm was shown.
Ex-Governor Robinson introduced Mr..
Reid, who spoke briefly, and then Gov

tirely to discussion of currency and
free trade. The democratic party, he
said, has been financially unsound
from the beginning of it's history and
that unsoundness broke out at Chi

return to state bank system. He
gave graphic description of the

tenn when every merchant had to study
