Generals Mendoza, Batalla and Riro,
and government forces of about the

forces. and not in victory for the lat
ter as announced in dispatch from
Torres Cardenas, secretary OF Presl-
dent Castro, which set forth that Gen
eral Mendozas army had been ami
hilated Sept. s near Tnaquillo. The
engagement of that date as sent from
here Sept. 70 was only that of an ad-
vance guard of no Importance. The
real battle began Sept. II, and lasted
four days, after which General Carrido
retreated on Valencia, and eventually
entered that city, Sept. IS, with about
200 men, leaving the road free for
the further advance on Caracas OF
the revolutionary army under Generals
Mendoza Riora and Battala.
The only other government army in
the field is the one which Is under the

miles south of Caracas and was send

guard of the army of General Matos,
the revolutionary leader. The presi-

mure to Charayaya and then to Guaya-
ba, about four hours march from Ca

that the last important incident of
the revolution is approaching.

PORTO RIcAN POLITICS.
Opposing Factions Preparing for Az.
uressive Campaign.

San Juan, P. l., Sept. 17.-On Nov.
4 will &c held an election covering tho
entire island, at which time resident
commissioner to the United States, Ave
delegates from each legislative district,
mayor for each municipal district,
one municipal judge, three school trus-
tees and members of the council win
be chosen. In San Juan two munlci-
pal judges and two substitutes will be
voted for.
While the campaign has not fully
opened, yet the first few meetings
have been theatrical. The Porto Ric-
an is a good citizen. He generally
minds his own business and believes
In the adage live and let liye"-until
it comes to politics. Then there are
no halfway measures. If you are on
tho opposite side, whatever that may
be, your opponent considers that you
are not entitled to live and that you
have lost all claim to responsibility
because you do not belieYe as he does.
This being the case With one fac
ton and the other, it would be readi.
ly seen that when Greek meets Greek
there is bound to be results of the
Donnybrook specie more or less.
Thus far few meetings have been
held which have not ended with few
broken heads and the grave charge
has been made that the police were
not the least active in either preclpi-
tating or lending passive encourage
mont to one or the other faction.
Today In Porto Rico there are, strict
ly speaking, two parties, the Repub-
fican party now in power and the
American Federation. Another par
ty has sprung up in the past few
weeks which styles itself Unionist Its
platform is Utopian to such an extent
that it is not being considered serl-
ously by the other two.
Two years ago the Federals cast
no vote at all, claiming that it would
be useless to go to the polls as the
Republicans would count them out
The Federals are going to the polls
this year, and are going to see their
votes are counted as cast. In this
determination they have the indorse-
ment of tke governor, who has de-
clared that fair election must be held

Most OF the trouble occurs in inter-.

and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-

were sick were put on this treatment and those who

never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
