THE REVOLT IN VENEZUELA.
The Libertador Anchors at nachur1cuto
Eier Fails TO Land
BY the Associated Press.)

by ile [ASSOIidLtA 41S@'t
Willemstad, Island OF Curacao, Jan. T.
tvia Haytien cable.)-The armed revolu-
tionary steamer Libertador, formerly
the British steamer a RICH, has, it is
believed here, landed the expdition near
Barcelona, Venezuela.
Advices received here from Caracas
show that the Venezuelan Government is
without news of the movements Of the
Libertador.
The vessels composing the Venezuelan
fleet are without coal, and besides their
engines are out of order. and therefore,,
President Castro's ships could not put to
sea and search for the Libertador.
About 1900 partisans Of General Riera,
a Venezuelan revolutionary leader, are
awaiting his arrival, near Coro, Nenezue-
la. When Riera arrives it is intended
to set the country in a blaze OF revolt.
Six other bands of insurgents, raised by
General Fernandez MENDOZA and others
are under arms, but they are avoiding
coming into conflict with the Govern
ment troops until they receive reinforce
ments and arms and ammunition.
The fact that the Governments effort
to capture these bands have been with
cut success is looked upon by the revolu-
tionists as proof of the vitality of the
revolutionary movement.
The Venezuelan Government. according
to the advices from Caracas, is without
money and is vainly trying to buy war
supplies in New York.
1t is further asserted that the employees
OF the Government OF Venezuela have
been without pay for the past six months,
and that they are only awaiting a ia
vorable opportunity to take part in the
revolt against President Castro
Later in the day it was reported here
that the Libertador anchored last even
ing at Machurucuto, a small port stu
ated between Rio Chico and Uchire, and
hat three Venezuelan war vessels had
received orders to start Immediately for
Machurucuto and endeavor to capture
the revolutionary vessel.
1t also became known later today that
General Reira left this island Thurs
day, to join the insurgent forces on the
coast near Vela De Coro, and that, doubt
less he was unable to land on Venezuela
soil, for he returned unexpectedly to
Curacao this morning.
The French cruiser D'Estrees has ar
rived here.
