PROSPECTING FOR OIL.
The Work at NoOksack Faiiure-Other
Holes to BE Drilled.

NooKsAcK, April 16.-[Special. THE oil
well company, after reaching depth of
625 feet. have decided to abandon the hole
they have been drilling for the past five
months. Their reason for so doing is that
two or three of the lowest lengths of pipe
have become so damned and broken that
the tools can no longer get through. They
are not giving up the attempt to find o |,
however. as they will simply move plant
and derrick to a new spot and ryagain.
They expect to be able to pull up nearly
all of the old piping and use it in the new
well. 1t is their intention to use ten-inch
casing hereafter, with the old eight-inch
inside it, for depth OF perhaps 300 feet,
or until below gravel, which so bothered
them before. While the new locality has
not been definitely settled upon it will
probably be in the immediate vicinity OF
the present one, since in that case the ex-
perience gained by their first effort and
their knowledge of the formation and
character of the various strata will
be of great assistance to them. They have
had many unexpected difficulties to over
come in their first effort, as is shown by
the time spent in reaching the 6OO-foot
level; but by the use of the double casing,
and knowing just what to look for. they
reckon on being able to get down 600 feet
in about thirty days from the time they
start the drill afresh, in spite of caves,
clay, gravel or rock. In consequence of
the recent severe illness of D. J. Wynkoop.
the resident manager of the company, he
will not be able for time to actively par
ticipate in the work: so that few DAYS at
least will elapse before operations will be
again resumed. Mr.. Wynkoop. though
not strong is about town, and says if any
of our people want to build fences or put
in well he can supply them with post
holes of any length, or measure off Sec
ton of well of the proper depth while you
wait.

New York, April 16.-The steamship
Philadelphia arrived from La Guayra to-
day and brought information of battle
between the government forces and revo-
lutionists at Truajillo, Venezuela. Carlos
r. Brunn, passenger, said business was
almost at standstill at Caracas. In the
battle at Trnajillo $50 men were killed and
o large number wounded. The govern
ment forces were under command of Gen.
eral Cipriano Costri and the reyolutionists
under General Arrange. The rebels were
superior in numbers, but deficient in dis
cipline and equipment, and fought from
behind trees. rocks and other projections.
The government forces charged and drove
the rebels from shelter, but they again rail-
lied and made stubborn resistance. The
government forces were repulsed, but rail-
lied, and, owing to superior discipline,
scattered the rebels, and the government
troops were victocious.
There is no constitutional government
in Venezuela, as Palacio's term expired
February 20 and no election has been held
since, SO the affairs of the country are in
state of anarchy. Palacio retains the
government illegally and by force. The
report that the trouble in Venezuela is
settled, said Brunn, arises from ignorance
or wilful perversion of facts.
Captain Chambers. of Philadelphia, on
the contrary, denies the report of civil war
and general instruction in Venezuela,
saying everything In the country was per-
fectly quiet; in fact. all things considered,
he never knew the country to be in more
tranquil condition.
Roma Paoz, Venezuelan consul, has re-
ceived an official communication stating
that by order of Palacio peace will soon be
established. and there remain only small
armed factions in the states of Los Andes
and Araugua; that General Crispo is flee
ing to Los Llaneros with few horsemen.
Official bulletins received by the consul
give government reports, which are in
definite, of several engagements with the
insurrectionists. In the account of the
Truajillo fight it is reported that the gov
eminent lost a hundred men. Generals
Garrilla and Terreu, with 200 riflemen,
are pursuing the rebel forces repulsed at
