OUTBREAK IN VENEZUELA
Government Reports Victory in First
Fight on the Border.
A GREAT BATTLE FOUGHT


Insurgents Organized In Colombia Unde,
DR.. Galviras - Castro Has an Army Of
10000 - Colombia May Be Called on
For an Explanation Rebels Beaten
and Country at Peace.
WASHINGTON, D. CA cable dis
patch from William ". Russell,
Secretary of the United States lega-
tion at Caracas. to the Department
of State, announced that the Pres
fdent of Venezuela had declared
martial law on account of the inva-
sion Of Venezuela by revolutionary
force from Colombia. He also re-
ported that an army of 10000 Ven
ezuelans were prepared to meet the
invaders.
Advices received in Washington by
Senior Pulido. Charge dAffaires OF
Venezuela. in a dispatch from Consul
General E. Gonzales Esteves at New
York, are that the revolutionary force
was routed by the Venezuelan troops
after a brief battle. The dispatch,
which was in cipher, when translated,
read as follows:
venezuelan forces of about 1O.0U0
met the invading force of revolution
lists, the latter led by DR.. Rangel Gal
viras, and completely destroyed his
force. A few fed across the border.
"ESTEVES, Consul-General.'
Senor Pulido declared that this mill
tary stroke would end the whole rev.
olutionary movement under Galviras.
He expressed the opinion that Presi-
dent Castro would have no more
trouble from the same source, and
said that he had known for some time
that revolutionists had gone beyond
the Colombian border for the purpose
Of organizing. DR.. Galviras, he said,
Is forty-five years old, conservative.
and orthodox Catholic. and was for
merly Venezuelan Minister to Spain.
He was born in the Department of the
Andes, and has been very active re-
Gently in the antiCastro movement.
He fed from Venezuela to Colombia
to organize his forces.
Senior Pulido would not discuss the
question of possible complications
with Colombia by reason Of the failure
of the Colombian Government to pre-
vent the organization of the insurrec-
tionary forces, but it is certain that
some explanation will be asked by
Venezuela.
According to q cable dispatch re-
ceived in New York City by Consul
General f. Gonzalez Esteves from
President Castro the first move Of the
insurgents has been checked. The
message said:
'The Colombian invasion into Vene-
zuela has been successfully repelled."
Another dispatch from the Minister
of Foreign Affairs read:
"All right Country at peace"
General Galviras. who is at the head
of tho latest revolt. is said to have
5000 insurgents under his command.
He is little known in the country, and
1t may be that the real leader of the
rebellion, which has been threatening
for some time. has not yet been re-
vealed. 1t is known that there are in
Curacao and Colombia several Vene-
Zuelan Generals who are enemies of
President Castro.
The suggestion is made that Gen
eral Ignacio Andrade, who was ousted
from the Presidency about two years
ago by General Castro, is also inter-
ested in the uprising. His visit to
New York City few weeks ago, in
cognito, was said to have something
to do with a rebellion which he has
long threatened.
