BARQULSLNETO CAPTURED.
VENEZUELAN TOWN TAKEN AFTER
FOUR DAYS FIGHTING.


Port-of-Spain, Trinidad B. w. l.. July s.
News has reached here that. after four days
hghting, the town Of Barquisimeto, in the State
of Lara, Venezuela. has been captured by revo-
lutionists under General Luciano Mendoza.
General Mendoza, who reappeared in active
operations, assisted by Generals Solagnie,
Pancho, Batalla and Aular. The government
troops were nearly all captured. One hundred
OF them, however, escaped, with Gonzales
Pacheco, Governor of the State of Lara, in the
direction of Trujillo. Four Venezuelan officers
and General Narea, the chief in command at
Barquisimeto. escaped to the seaport of Tuca-
cas-
General Jacinto Lara has been appointed Gov
ernor of Barquisimeto by thu revolutiOnists.
rms new victory is believed to prove once again
the vitality of the revolution against President
castro. Revolutionists, who estimated to
valencia, in the State of Carabobo, which is
forty miles away. Valencia will probably be
attacked within ten days. The movements of
General Matos. the leader of the revolution, are
absolutely unknown to the Venezuelan Govern
ment
According to the latest reports received here
from Porto Cabello the telephone and tele-
graph lines connecting that port with Valencia
were cut eight days ago. and traffic on the Eng
lish railroad between these points has been in
terrupted for the last three days 1t is believed
that the reVOutiOniSts will shortly attack and
capture Porto Cabello.

AFTERNOON RAIN MAY pANIPEN ARDOR.

The weather man did not give his reason for
announcing last night. that the fair weather OF
this morning would be followed by showers, but
1t is suspected he remembered that when he was
a boy 1t always raned the afternoon of the
Fourth of July. A number OF people will find
consolation in this prophecy. For the boy whose
stock of fireworks has been small because of the
state of his pocketbook there is the consolation
that he could not fire off any to advantage
If he had them. For the boy whose eyes have
been blinded by premature explosions of crackers
so that he cannot out of them there is the
consolation that he has had his share of the fun
even If he is laid up For those whose houses have
been ignited by blazing paper balloons or other
brands OF fireworks there l.. the consolation that
the rain Will serve as a sort of first aid TO the
injured by keeping the flames in check until the
Fire Department can reach the scene from some
other fire For those whose houses or bows have
not been injured in any way there is the consola-
ton that the rain may save them any sorrowfuI
memories of the day.
While last night was not particularly noisy and
one might imagine that this augured a ouiet
Fourth, there doubtless will be noise enough 70
day to satisfy most people ~
