has been received here concerning the
retreat of the revolutionary forces. 1t
is to the effect that on the hight of
November LIST the rcvoutionists withdrew
from their positions near La Victoria
and San Mateo because they were without

lacked cartridges caused a disagreement
between General MatOs and General Ro-
lando, which was followed by hot words.
General Rolando declared that the short
age of ammunition was the fault of Gen
eral Matos and that if the success OF
the revolution was endangered by this
condition General Matos alone was re-
sponsible. He said that all was lost,
and with his followers, about 1000 mon
had withdrew from the main body of
rebels in the direction of Alta Gracia
The latest report issued by the govern
ment says that Generals Matos, Mendoza
and Ricardo and their commands are lice
ing in disorder in an effort to reach inc
mountainous districts. These generals
arc supposed to be near BarrC7a, point
twelve miles from the lake OF Valencia.
President Castro, having sent his men
in all directions to cut off the retreating
enemy, left here today for Caracas. Inc
government soldiers who are following
up the rebels scored their first success
this morning by the capture of Gen Ra-
mon LuiZi. who was making his way III
the direction of Alta Gracia with 30o'Voo
