THE REVOLUTION HAS COLLAPSED.
CASTRO IS IN LUCK.
Ammunition Gives Out and Rebel
Leaders Part In QuarreI-Reb.
els Flee In Disorder.

News has been received at La Vie.
toria Venezuela, of the retreat of the
revolutionary forces. On the night of
November / the revolutionists with
drew from their positions near La
Victoria and San Mateo because they
were without ammunition Tho fact
that the rebels lacked cartridges
caused a disagreement between Gen.
eral Matos and General Rolando,
which was followed by hot words.
General Rolando declared that the
shortage of ammunition was the fault
OF General Matos. and that If the sue.
cess of the revolution was endanger-
ed by this condition General Matos
alone was responsible. He said all
was lost. and, with his followers,
about 3.2O0 men. he withdrew from
the main body of the rebels In the
direction of Alta Gracia. II Is re-
ported that General Rclando pro-
claimed "El Mocho" Hcrnadez as the
leader OF the revolution. President
Castro, since he discovered that the
revolutionists retreated only because
of their lack OF ammunition, has
caused them to be pursued day and
night by government soldiers. The
latest report issued by the govern
ment says Generals Matos, Mendoza
and Riora and their commands ara
fleeing in disorder in an effort to
reach the mountainous districts.
Gucrrillas in the service of the gov
ernment have captured and brought
to President Castro certain records
and documents belonging to members
of General Matos' personal staff, as
well as the generals personal cor.
respondence. The contents OF these
papers give evidence of the critical
situation of the leaders of the revolu-
tion. II is difficult TO understand the
apparent, sudden and complete col
lapse of the revolutionary movement.
But a few days ago the rebels seemed
to be upon the eve of victory, while
to-day their cause seems absolutely
lost. President Castro, having sent
his men In all directions to cut of
the retreat of the enemy, left for
Caracas. The government soldiers
who are following up the rebels
scored their first success tT the cap'
turc of General Ramon Luizi, who
was making his way in the direction
of Alta Gracia with 100000 rounds OF
ammunition and 4.060 men to rein
force the revolutionists. From La
Victoria President Castro goes to Los
reques, which point was abandoned
by the rebels. From Los 1eques the
president will go by rail to Caracas,
and will then resume his place at the
head of the government.

PRAISE FOR THE ARMY.
Gen. Miles Declares II Was Never In
Better Condition.

The annual report of Lieutenant
General Miles reiterates what he said
in 1896, that the personnel of the
army was never in better condition.
He adds: This was proven to be
true by the fortitude. skill and heroism
displayed in every serious campaign
on every field of mortal combat wher'
ever the army has been engaged in
any part of the world during the last
four years. During that time many
changes have occurred and the army
has been very largely increased. The
long and varied service OF the senior
officers, their experience in organiz-
ing. disciplining, instructing and lead
ing their commands. as well as the
excellent discipline, instruction and
exemplary conduct of the soldiers of

ASBURY PARK BEACH OWNERSHIP,

Keators attention was called. a short

brought to declare the lake at that
resort to be the property of the bor-

laid down by the court in that case,
which was decided in favor of the
borough, would apply to the Asbury
Park beach front. Lawyers we're con-
suited and the original maps Of As
bury Park on file at Freehold were
closely examined. The maps showed
that the beach front, including the
strip over which the boardwalk was
laid, had been dedicated to the public
and that the city line ran out to the
ocean. Many of the parks now claim
ed by Mr.. Bradley were also marked

old settlers who had bought property
from Mr.. Bradley in the early 70s

that the beach front, parks and lakes
were represented to them, at the time
of their purchases, as public prop
erty. r. V. Lindabury, of Elizabeth,
to whom the case was submitted, rem
dered an opinion in which he declared
that the beach and other property de.
scribed belonged to the people, and
that Mr.. Bradley was an usurper on

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business Shows Good Progress and
Heavy Distribution Of Fall
Goods-Cut In Tin.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says: Trade and industry
are making steady progress, reports
from all sections of the country con-
tanning evidences of wholesome de-
velopment. An unusually large fall
distribution occurred, and current
transactions in heavier goods are
liberal, considering the mildness Of
the season. Complaints OF slow
freight movement are still heard. tes-
tifying to the enormous volume of
business handled by the railways,
which report earnings for October
as per cent larger than last year and
12.4 per cent above 1900. Prices of
commodities proportioned to con-
sumption, as shown by Dun's index
number declined about / per cent
during October. The decrease oc-
CURED in meats and fuel. mainly the
latter. The only development of note
in the iron and steel market has been
the 10 per cent reduction in prices of
tin plates, TO take effect December /.
While some change was anticipated
the trade was not prepared for so
large a cut. If the recent lowering
of price lists in certain sections of
the market should stimulate foreign
trade, there will be occasion for graf
ification, as some exceptional export
movement Is needed to Offset the
heavy imports of pig iron and billets.
Many furnaces have been compelled
to bank because of the poor receipts
of coke, and there is little evidence
OF Improvement in the railway situa-
tion, motive power being utterly in
adequate. Contracts run far into the
future in structural material for
bridges and buildings, while plates
are sought by car works and ship
yards. High premiums are still paid
for prompt delivery, but most ship
ments are on old contracts placed at
regular list prices. Recent enlarge.
ment of facilities has greatly in
creased production In many lines,
which explains the slightly easier
tone Of the market as a whole, but
there is no evidence of diminished
demand nor unsound conditions.
