VENEZUELAN REBELS.
They RepuIse the Government Forces
with Great Loss.
PUERTO CABELLO IN TERROR.
Palacio's Troops Are Utterly Defeated
and All tho Abie-bodied Men In the
Seaport Towns Have Been Conscr'pted
Arms and Ammunition for Crespo.
ESPECIAL TO THE NEws.]

ESPECIAL 10 IhE Newell
PUERTO CABELLo, Veneuzuela, April
2l.-At sundown on April IA Palacio's
army made its final and futile attempt to
dislodge force Of insurgents under COM
mand of Gen. Mora, who were intrenched
at q spot just beyond Polito. The en-
counter was brief but furious. The gov
ernment forces were defeated all along
the line and turning fed in every direc-
ton.
The government soldiers did not stop to
carry their dead aud injured from the
scene of their rout, but struggled into
Puerto Cabello, startling the whole town
with their story OF complete defeat.
Nothing definite could be learned as to
The exact number OF those slain, but IL Is
officially announced that the government
lost one third OF its force in the encounter.
OF this loss by far the greater proportion
was caused by desertions. As soon as
Palacio's men saw that they Were over
come many of them threw down their
arms and went over to the enemy.
This Is just what the authorities have
been fearing all along. The government
troops are poorly fed and paid aud greatly
discontented. A large proportion OF them
are at heart sympathizers with the revo-
lutionists. They only await the oppor-
tunlly 10 desert.
The news of the battles result was al
most Immediately followed by general
CONSUMPTION order. The town has some
5000 inhabitants.
Every able bodied man among them has
been forced into military service. No one
has been allowed to escape duty. The
shops, warehouses, mole, wharves, Gus
tom house, post office and manufactures
have been visited, and every clerk, dray-
man, dock laborer and stevedore COM
PEELED to quit work at once and enroll
himself in the ranks Of Palacio's defend
ers.
Every one here is expecting that Puerto
Cabello will be attacked at any moment
by the reyolutionists. People are hurry
