REvOLUTIONISTs SUCCESSFUL.
President Castro Retreats From
characterization is Critical.

Willemstad. Island of Curacao, Sep

fore the advance of the revolutionists.
The Venezuelan governments situa-
ton is critical. Recent advices received
from Venezuela confirm the dispatches
of the Associated Press from Willem-
stad of Friday, September II. The bat
tie which. as then announced, began
September 11th, in the vicinity of Tin
aQuillo. Venezuela, between about 1000
revolhtioniSts. under the command of
Generals Mendoza, Batalla and Riera,
and government forces Of about the
same strength, led by the Venezuelan
minister of war, General Garrido, re-
suited in the defeat of the government
forces, and not in a victory for the lat
ter, as announced in a dispatch from
Torres Cardenas, secretary of President
Castro. which set forth that General
Mendoza's army had been annihilated
September Sth near Tinaquillo.
The engagement Of that date. as
cabled from here September II, was
only an advance guard fight of no inn
portance. The real battle began Sep
tember IL and lasted four days, after
which General Garrido retreated on
Valencia and eventually entered that
city September 18th, with about 2,100
men, leaving the road free for the fur
ther advance on Caracas of the revo-
lutionary army under Generals Men
doZa, sRiera and Batalla.
The only other government army in
the field is the one which is under the
personal command of President Castro.
The president retreated from Ocumare

NVilkesbarre, Pa, September 17.-Pres-

Gay, takes a hopeful view of the strike
situation. The statement is as follows:
AT this time it is impossible to say
cxactly when the strike VIII terminate,
but after careful inquiry into the situ-
alton at the mines, L an convinced that
the struggle will end by agreement.
The wage earners and the general pub
lie are generously contributing to the
aid of the miners. 1t is essential that
this aid be extended and continued.
IF the manhood of the miners is to
be maintained they must at least have
bread for their wives and little ones as
we'll as for themselves. The declared
attitude of the presidents of the an
thracite railroads has not apparently
changed. Despite this fact 1 am fully
convinced that the strike will end
through agreement, with improved con-
ditions for the miners, and the union
