SAVED BY A TRAIN.
Half Million Cartridges Reached Cas-.
tro Just In Time.


Willemstad, Island of Curacao. Oct.
20.-One of the leaders of the Matos
revolution in Venezuela, who is at
present in Curacao, has furnished the
following details and explanation of
the retreat Of the revolutionary army
from La Victoria. He says the rebels
only abandoned the fight after being
convinced that La Victoria was i'm
pregnable, and after President Castro
had refused to come out and attack
the revOlutionists outside of La Vic
toria. Twice did the revolutionary gen.
eral attempt to force President Castro
to take the offensive and twice the
president refused.
When the rebels endorsements ar
rived at La Victoria last Thursday
President Castro and his forces were
located at a point on the German rail
road. The rebels made a detour of
the city and cut off the only road Of
retreat open to the government forces.
They were then short of ammunition,
and had it not been fer the arrival of
train bringing them half a million
cartridges it is believed that Castro's
forces would have been annihiated.
Preparations for their retreat had al
ready been ordered.
