FIGHTING IN VENEZUELA
REBELS SEEM TO HAVE WHIPPED
GOVERNMENT TROOPS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The state de-
pantment has received a dispatch from
the United States consul at Puerto,
Venezeula, in which he gives summary
of the several fights up to the 10Th. The
first encounter between the forces of rebel
General Castro and those of the Venezeu-
lean government, occurred near the city
of San Christobal, near the Columbian
boundary line. The government force en-
gagged consisted Of between four and
five hundred men under the command
Of General Lepoldo Sarria. The rebel force
was considerably larger, but the actual
number is not known. The rebels defeated
the government troops and captured their
| leader, General Sarria.
The second battle was in San Christie
bal, the one thousand troops of the gov
ernment. commanded by General Pena-
losa, engaged 1900 rebel troops command
ed by General Castro, eight or nine days,
resulting in General Castro withdrawing
| his men, he having learned that General
Fernandez was on his way there with
about 1000 troops of the government.
The third battle was before and in the
town Of Elcobre. Reports has it that the
rebels here defeated 1,5O0 government
GIUOpS Tic COuuJduu VI 00ucTdl
Morales and that the general succeeded
in escaping with but u men and the
ammunition train.
The fourth encounter took place at
Lumbador mountain, where General
Weidemann with $500 government troops
tried to stop the march of the rebels,
reported to be over 1900 strong. The
fight Is supposed to have ended in draw
both sides claiming victory. At any rate
General Castro continued his march and
later was attacked by 5000 troops under
General Fernandez His force then con-
sisted of about 5000 men. A terrible bat
tie was fought with loss of nearly 500
killed and wounded on the government
side. The loss of the rebels is unknown.
But 1t Is thought to be less as their posi-
ton during the battle was superior Both
sides claim victory. After the battle
the rebels raided the town Of Tower. In
this place the rebels fought and dis
persed, so it is said, 800 government
troops under General Suplicio Gutierrez
and captured the arms, ammunition and
supplies.
At Arenas were massed nearly 5000
troops, commanded by General Torres.
Aular, Guevara and Planes. Yet, if re-
ports are true, the rebel chief defeated
them and captured many rifles and much
ammunition. In Barquisimeto, General
Suarez had about 1000 government troops
entrenched behind strong Notifications,
but the rebel forces did not attack. AT
the time of writing the consul states the
rebel forces at Bejuma, report the rebel
General Castro resting his troops and
animals before marching to Valencia.

= The vast army of useless and non-pro-
ducing workers, contractors, wholesalers,
the majority of retailers, lawyers, nine
tenths of the bookkeepers, half tae clerks,
bankers servants of the rich, etc, form
class whose interests seem ito be op-
posed to a radical reform iz the system
of wealth production. But the interest is
only seeming, not real, for under prop
erly organized cooperative system all
these would soon find a field for the ex.
ercise of their talents. Even were tkes
not true, the wealth producers could bet
ter afford to keep them in dleness than
to have them engaged in many of the
harmful activities that now engross their
time and energies.

The Philadelphia North American, a
conservative daily newspaper, recently in
terviewed large number of "best" citi-
ems including bankers, railroad magnates
and large manufacturers on the question,
'What has the twentieth century in store
for Philadelphia?' The American con-
cludes it's investigation as follows:
Substantial business men, whose names
are almost household words, soiemnly af-
firm that with the coming OF the new Gen.
tury will come revolution and bloodshed.
Leading lawyers say the tendency will be
toward socialism. Bankers join with the
labor leaders in forecasting the triumph
of the single tax theory and the conse-
quent overthrow of the existing socia.
condition. That such tremendous under
current of dissatisfaction and unrest ex-
lists in this city will undoubtedly come as
a shock to thousands of conservative cit
labor agitators or anarchists. They are
the careful expressions Of men of wealth.
Of standing and Of broad educatio The
revolutionary suggestions were not STOUT
ed upon the street in time of riot and ex-
citement, but were given deliberately
while the speakers sat in their well-fur-
nished offices surrounded by comforts and
evidences of prosperity
We do not agree with the statement
that with the coming of the new century
will come revolution and bloodshed." We
have faith in the intelligent working
classe: of this great country and believe
our socia ills will he solved by the in
telligent use Of the ballot.

June, 1899, a total Of 487 trusts were Or
ganized, of which number 439 control cap
