CITY OF PUERTO CABELLo

Government to lombard the Place
After Capture BY Rebels.

New York. Oct. 1S.-The officers Of the
Red d line steamship Philadelphia, which
has just arrived here from Puerto Ca
bello and La Guayira tell about the re-
bellion in the South American republic.
When the Philadelphia was in the harbor
of Puerto Cabello on Oct. and g. the Of
ficers say the insurgents were swarming
over the hills back of the town, and took
possession of it. The fort was held by
government troops, who threatened to
fire on the town to drive out the rebels
The cruiser Detroit was lying in the har-
Dor close to the American consulate and
the consul forbade the bombardment of
the town
IF you open fire on the town. shall

message he sent to the commandant, ac-
cofding to the officers of the Philadelphia.
In order to emphasize the message the
guns of the Detroit were trained on the
Venezuelan fertilization.
That night an envoy from President An
drade was sent from Caracas to Puerto
Cabello. where he had a conference with
General Castro. There was a story at
Puerto Cabello that President Andrade
had offered to leave Venezuela if permit

TROOPS WELL CARED FOR.
Kind Treatment Afforded Volunteers
By Americans at Yokohama.

Yokohama, Oct. (via Victoria, B. c.,
Oct. 1S).-The Fifty-first Iowa regi-
ment, the last of the volunteer regi-
ments to touch at this port on it's home
ward way, reached here on Oct. 8 and
left yesterday for San Francisco. The
Tennesseeans, who form the extreme
rear guard of the returning troops, are
reported as under orders to proceed di-
rect from NagaSaki on account of the
urgent need of transports for reinforce
ments now Fastening to Manila.
The departure of the Iowas ends ons
of the most remarkable features of the
war, whether it be considered in the
light of the irreproachable conduct of
the great army of Americans passing
through or in that of the patriotic res
olution of the little American commu-
nifty here, which has in every possible
way miniStered TO their needs. 1t has
been a gigantic task for the handful of
Americans here to feed an army of
$4,000, to organize for them an extensive
bureau of information, to guard them
against imposition, to care for all the
sick, even to the extent of taking them
into their homes, to furnish free baths
to provide delightful headquarters. and
i'll every way to remind them that they
were already among friends and coun-
tI'ymen.
OF course. the ladies of the colony
have borne the brunt of the work, while
the men have furnished the means, and
that most literally. All this has been
done, too, with a national pride which
would not permit the acceptance of for
eign aid, though freely proffered. Sell
dom has such work been better done.
and it may be added seldom more freely
appreciated and rewarded.
The great army of returning Ameri-
cans has responded with an unsullied
record, 1900, TO the amazement of all
foreigners here, having proved them
selves in every regard an army of gen.
