RevoIutIonIsts Defeated I'm Desperate
Engagement Near Caracas.
A battle has taken place between the
government forces and the revolution
lists at Trujillo, Venezuela, which ended
in favor of the former.
The news was brought by the steamer
Philadelphia to New York.
The government forces, under COM
mand of General Spraino COstri, were
sent out into the country to break up
gathering of the rebels The revolu-
tiOnists had been concentrating at Tru-
lilo and were under command of Gen.
erul AranjO. Tie government troops
made a forced march through the night
and surprised the rebels early in the
morning. A struggling fire Immediately
commenced. The rebels were slightly
superior in numbers, but were greatly
deficient in discipline and equipment.
Being badly organized they fought from
behind trees, rocks, and other points OF
vantage keeping up an intermittent tire.
After resisting stubbornly several
charges of the government troops, the
rebels broke and fed in all directions.
There were about 80 killed and large
number wounded in the engagement.
At Caracas great discomfort prevails
with Palacio, owing to the fact that heis
boarding tine money raised by forced
loans, and is letting soldiers and officers
go unpaid. This has added to the pop
ular belief that Palacio anticipates de-
feat, and is saving money for his MAIN
tenar,ce abroad,

NORTHERN C,LORED MEN STATE
THE WRONG INFLICTED UPoN THE
CoLoRED PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH.

A delegation of representative
colored men from the State of New
York arrived at the Baltimore and
Potomac depot Thursday morning,
consisting of Dr.. w. B. Derrick
Alexander Powell, DIR. w. F. John
son, Rev. H. A. Monroe. d w.
Wisher and A. Walters, DR.. T P.
S. Miller, G. r Dorsey, Rev. Geo.
w. Bryant. Hon. Fred. Duug>
lass and Mr.. William Z. Matthews
met these gentlemen and gave
them an excellent breakfast, after
which they repaired TO the Office of
Hon. John R. Lynch who escorted
them to the Executive Mansion and
introduced them to the President.
Mr.. Lynch introduced Dr., D r
rick as the spokesman of the party
who in an eloquent manner told
the president of the wrongs tn It
were perpetrated upon his people
in the South {; that they were loyal
to the fig and the republic in
which they live. Idon't Come here,
MG. President, remarked DR.. Der
rick to make any threats nor do !
demand you to 90 more than wat
the constitution Of~the Unittd
States will permit you to do. /
therefore, IN the name of the many
thousand citiz ms of the State of
New York hand you their address.
In reply the President informed
the delegation just how far the
constitution of the United States
would allow him to 60. He alIud
ed to the New Orleans lynching
aud said that the federal govern
ment had the right to provide 70"
the protection of the Italian sub
jects, as that was a matter of treaty
right, but it has not been done; no
has been enacted, and
neither federal courts nor the
President could interfere even in
that case. The President suggest
ed to the delegation to appoint
committee e for the purpose of com
plling the facts concerning the
lynchings in the Sou'h and pre-
sent tuem to him aud the public |
press and lie would call the atten-
ton of cOngI eSs TO it. Plcf johnson
at this point interrupted and asked |
The President did not "a clause ia
,he constitution say that ali citi>
zens shall be protected in their
ives and property?
The President said that did not
apply in this case.
But, remarked Prof. johnson,
suppose the two races in the South
ebelled or suppose the colOrei
people killed in return, would you
lOt interfere.
The President in reply said that
le could not. Wed, replied Prof.
-ohnson, would you not recon
mend a retaliation?
The President begged to be ex-
used on that point.
Auditor Lynch saw that Prof.
OhnsOn was talking too much and
S the President turned to DR.. Der
ick to address him and when he
oncluded Mr.. Lynch stepped for
7ard and thanked the President
n the part Of the delegation for
be interview that had been accord
d.
