During the past fortnight the Ven

raj, that is to say all the eastern coast
Of Venezuela. but owing to the ability
and skill Of General Velutinl, a Cor
slcan of extraordinary intelligence, a
large commercial port has been wrest-
ed from them.
The troops of the revolution are
much dissimGted. It Is impossible to
diagnose its present condition, 1t
seems to suffer from a general indis-
position impossible to analyze, but it
is clear that although very powerful
on the LIST of July, it has since deyel'
oped both moral and physical weak
ness.
The revolutionists have, moreover,
been obliged to construct bridges and
that without adequate tools or engin-
GERS. In word, in spite of the towns
which they occupy and the thousands
of men whom they have under arms
they are so scattered that II not q
negligible quantity they are very DIFF
ficult to get at. The revolutionists
were dangerous before the govern
ment went out to attack them, but now
their ability to attack the government
has become problsmatieal It is no
longer a local war which they will be
constrained to carry on, but an inva-
sion. This does not mean that the
revolution will lose nor is this even
suggested. But General Castro is now
In position to defend himself. He Will
nevertheless have much to do to
emerge from the struggle victorious
A great battle is ordered to take
place within four or five weeks, either
at Alta Gracia de Orituco, If Matos can
bring over his ammunition and ad.
vance his army, or between Aragulta
and Santa Lucia, a valley by which
the revolutionists will probably at
tempt to pass in order to reach Ca
racas.

ident Castro has regained his lost
prestige through the arrival of the

EYE WITNESS TELLS
OF PELEE ERUPTION
Phenomenon Spectacle of Ter
rible Grandeur.
BLACK CLOUD OVER ISLAND.
From This Shot at Intervals Pillars
of Flame High Into the Air, Scatter
ing Showers of Fiery sparks,-Earth
Rocked by Quake.

London, Sept. 4.-The correspon-
dent Of The Daily Mail at Castries,
St. Lucia, has cabled the following
account of the phenomenon, witnessed
at the time Of the recent outbreak Of
Mont Pelee, Martinique:
Between and o'clock in the
evening of Aug 80, a spectacle of ter
rible grandeur was witnessed from
here. A pitch black cloud hung over
the island of Martinique through which
shot at intervals pillars of flame high
into the sky, which broke into fan
tastic forms of colored fire and scat
tered showers of fiery sparks. About
nightfall clouds were darting about
like millions of frefies and above all
those large aureoIes appeared in the
sky"
The correspondent then proceeds TO
confirm the details of the eruption as
already known, and says:
There We're tremendous earth rum
blings and explosions. The ground
rocked and nothing could stand on
tables or shelves. Boats for St
Pierre were unable to reach the town
owing to the fall of hot ashes and a
tidal wave destroyed the whole of the
sea front Of LeCarbet."
