ALL BUREAU, 1906 G STREET,
\. w, WASHINGTON, Dec. H.
President Castro seems to have
succeeded in defeating the revo-
lutionists IN Venezuela and is
preparing to resist the seizure by
Germany Of a Venezuelan port. Off
cial advices concerning his vlcto-
ries have been received by the
State Department from Minister Bow
en- at Caracas. Early last week it
looked as though the revolution would
overthrow Castro's Government. but he
sent troops, which are apparently devoted
to him, to attack the command of Gen
eral Medoza, chief of the rebels, and they
have inflicted defeats in several contacts.
Reports were recently published from
Berlin announcing that before carrying
out her programme Germany would await
the result of the revolution. This was
contrary to the belief of the administra-
ton, which expected demonstration to
occur irrespective of internal conditions
prevailing in the republic In view of the
gathering of German warships near Ven
ezuela the authorities say that move
ment upon one of the ports Of that coun-
try may be expected at any moment
General Blockade Not Likely.
The report that blockade of all ports
will be instituted is considered ridiculous,
because Germany has only four warships
in the Caribbean Sea and the most they
could do would be to occupy and hold one
port Even this occupation probably
would be difficult
General Castro has made it clear that
he proposes to resist foreign invasion of
his territory, and he has an army of
1900 men he will be able to make it lively
for the Germans.
Another reason why ii is not believed
that Germany contemplates the establish
ing Of a blockade is that she proposes to

~ OGOTA, Dec 27.-The Government
- troops have gained an important
victory at Honda which is about
ffty-ive miles from here, over the
revolutionary forces under General Marin.
The loss of life was heavy. According to
the latest accounts 400 men were killed.
General Marin attacked the garrison at
Honda at 6 o'clock in the morning and the
fighting lasted until midnight. There were
about 500 men in the garrison and the at
tacking force consisted of 1900 soldiers

the effect of decreasing importat1ons.
ambassador Won Hollenberg has made it
plain to the Secretary that his Govern
ment will occupy a Venezuelan port only
so long as is absolutely necessary to col
lect the claims due its subjects.
Castro Looks for Sympathy.
There appears to be much reliance on
the part of Venezuela in the sentiment
and sympathy which can be aroused
within the United States when a Euro
pean invader is actually operating on
American soil and Venezuela issues a
declaration Of war Venezuela, it is un-
derstood, relies largely on the fact that

lonbia, during an interview to-day de-
clared that relations between Venezuela
and his Government were very strained.
He added that the Colombian Government
was maintaining large army along the
Venezuelan frontier, in Tachira and Qua
jira Peninsula and at Rio Hacha, in order
that Colombia's interests could be pro-
tected against aggressions by President
Castro.

Los ANGELES. Dec "a wind storm
CT unusual force and destructiveness has
RACED to-day al over the southern part
Of California The storm is what is To-
caly known as a santa Ana" and car
ries with it fine dust from the desert
TO the east, that fills the air and obscures
The vision at distances more than a few
hundred yards.
Reports from surrounding towns say
much damage was wrought by the wind
10 oranges and some damage to small
buildings. Railroad traffic Is delayed and
in some instances entirely obstructed
The storm is heaviest in the vicinity of
Santa, Ana, Cotton and Pomona, between
which places three passenger trains on
The main line Of the Southern Pacific are
stalled, owing TO sand piling upon the
track to the depth of tEo feet in places
and resisting all efforts to keep the tracks
clear.
Great Damage at Riverside.
Reports from Riverside. the heart of
the great orange region, sixty miles east
Of Los Angeles, state that immense dam
age has resulted from the high wind.
Oranges -heve been blown from the trees
IN some cases the trees themselves
going down before the force Of the storm.
From all accounts the loss to orchardists
in the Riverside district VIII be in the
neighborhood Of 5eOo boxes.
At Redlands the storm was very severe,
but the damage was not serious. Sand
piled up on the railroad tracks to the
depth Of three feet and obstructed all
traffic during the day. 10 through trains
from Los Angeles have reached Red
lands today. Telegraph and telephone
wires have suffered to more OF less extent
throughout the storm area and communi-
cation with many places is difficult to es-
1abIish. The wind ceased AT Redla nos
late in the afternoon and a large force
Of men was put TO work clearing the rail-
road tracks in order TO release the de-
layed trains
At Rochester. twenty miles west of
Redlands. the Southern Pacific eastbound
train is tied uD.
Cotton in the Center.
Cotton seems to have been the very
center Of the disturbance and the wind
has done considerable damage to fruit
and small buildings Sand blocked the
railroads and no trains have moved in
that vicinity since morning. The storm
reached its height at o'clock in the
afternoon and gradually subsided after
that hour.
The Southern Pacific Company has
been the greatest sufferer in the matter
of delayed trains. In many places it has
been impossible to move a wheel. The
Santa Fe Railroad also felt the effects,
but while greatly delayed has managed
70 keep its trains moving
The only Inconvenience suffered in Los
Angeles from the storm was due to the
fine dust that hlled the air and obscured
the vision Very little wind accompanied
the dust storm here and no damage has
been reported Ia the immediate vicinity
Of this city. To the south of here, how
ever, the storm approached q cyclone in
its intensity and much damage is be-
Ieved TO have resulted. Owing TO the
lack Of facilities for communicating with
many outlying points tonight. the full
extent OF the damage viii not be learned
until tomorrow.

SANTA ANA. Dec. 27.-This locality
was to-day the scene Of the most disas-
frous wind and sand storm experienced in
thirty years. A high pressure Of the at
