FEAR THE LIBERTADOR.
MATOSS FILIBCSTER LOWERING OFF
THE VENEZUELAN COAST

Caracas. Venezuela. Jan. 16.-General Matos,
the revolutionary leader, is master at sea. for
President Castor's fleet does not dare attack
the Libertador; but the government troops
watch the coasts so well that the landing of
arms and ammunition is nearly impossible. The
only important successful landing took place on
January near Tucona where much ammuni-
tion and General Riera were safely landed.
According to the last reports received here re-
garding the movements of the Libertador she
recently at the Dutch island Of Aruba
She passed January 8, in view of La Guayra
and accidentally carried away the mast of
small schooner. General Matos thereupon paid
$50 to the captain of the schooner and toWed
her two miles, 10 a harbor.
The impression which prevails here is that the
revolution is not making progress. The diff
pass arms and ammunition through the govern
ment lines render the success Of General Matos
problematical.
Generals Mendoza and Fernandez, the insur-
gent leaders, notwithstanding their lack OF re-
sources are not yet crushed.
The reports OF uprisngs at Guayana and other
points remain unconf1rmed.
willemstad Island of Curacao, Jan. 16.-The
Venezuelan revolutionary steamer Libertador
formerly the Ban Rgh). sighted on Tues
day evening near Capo Codera, east OF La
Guayra. 1t is supposed that she landed arms
there. Numbers OF insurgents are in the heid IN
that vicinity.

to several million pounds sterling for supplying
South Africa, especially the British troops In
that part of the world, with fresh meat which
will be taken TO South Africa in refrigerator
vessels from the British colonies and elsewhere

PEACE RUHORS AGAIN.
STOCKS RISE on REPORT THAT THE
BOERs ARE MAKING OVERTURES.

London Jan 1G-A strong belief prevailed in
financial circles here late to-day that negotia
tions for peace had been reOpened between the
leading Beers and the British Government.
South African stocks rose n sympathy with the
reports. The exact nature OF what was going
on was not known. but a representative of The
Associated Press learned that leading Beers had
indirectly approached the government. protest
ing against the appropriation of farms in the
Transvaal and Orange River colonies by British
settlers, which system Is being rapidly
pushed and that strong influence had been
brought to bear the Boer leaders to save at
least vestige of property for their followers.
Whether what is passing to-day between the
Beers and the British Government can be
termed peace negotiations. or what viii be their
result only remain speculation for the pres
ent. The Stock Exchange evidently takes a
hopeful view of the outcome.
