PRESIDENT IN
TWO DAYS BATTLE
Castro Personally Leads a
Charge Against Revolu-
tionists in Venezuela
is SURROUNDED BY HIS ENEMIES
- 4


Willemstad, oct. 16-News has been
received here from Caracas .that the
battle near La Victoria between the
forces of President Castro, numbering
4.1O0 men. with IS guns, and the Yene-
zuelan revolutionists, which began on
Monday morning, has so far been with
out definite result General Matos. the
leader OF the revolution, and General
Mendoza were not present. The only
rebel generals engaged were Guevara,
Torres, Crespo and Antonio Fernan-
dez. who had with them about 3,100
men, representing the advance guard
of the revolutionists.
President Castro twice led a charge
in person and showed great courage
and coolness. His lieutenant, General
Alcantara, who was at one time at the
West Point Military Academy, was
mortally wounded. The government
forces had 247 men killed. while the
revolutionists lost $40 men. Among
the latter was General Guevara. The
arrival at the scene Of battle at 5
o'clock on Monday afternoon of Vice
President Gomez with 500 men and a
large amount of ammunition saved the
situation for the government. At that
time the odds were against President
Castro, but the arrival of reinforce.
ments improved his position. Monday
night the revolutionists still retained
their positions.
The fight started again Tuesday, and
at 10 o'clock in the morning Castro re-
tired to La Victoria. At 1 o'clock the
fighting ceased on both sides.
News of the engagement having
reached Generals Matos and Mendoza
they fastened to the scene and arrived
at a point near La Victoria Tuesday
with the rest of the revolutionary
army, which now numbers about 5000
men. The reinforcements under Matos
and Mendoza intended to take part in
the renewal of hostilities yesterday.
President Castro appears to be sur
rounded by his enemies. The town OF
El Conseio, which lies back of La
Victoria, is occupied by the revolutions
lists Valencia is believed to b,
doomed. The town was attacked by
General. .Riera on Monday and Tuesday
The government cannot receive rein
forcements from Caracas, as the Ber
man railroad from there to Valencis
is held by the rebels.
Those who were wounded in thu
4, fighting are still without medical as
sistance OF care. They lie on the bat
tlefeld as they fell, and the scen'
there is one of great horror.
