BRITISH OFFICERS COMING.
General Young Desires Exhibi-
bition Of Gymnastic Training.

LONDON. Oct. 16-General Young
has secured the consent of Earl Rob-
erts and Mr.. Brodrick 10 plan to send
a dozen of the best British none ommis-
stoned officers to America in order that
they may give an exposition of their
gymDastic training as an example Of
that which is now carried out in the
British service The war office will
pay the expenses of the British SOL
diers. General Young hopes to be able
to get the war department at Washing
ton to send dozen American noncom-
missioned officers to England so that
they may investigate the developments
Of the setting up drill in its up to date
form as it is practiccd IN this country,
General Young said;
'"The gymnastlc exhibition we saw at
Aldershot beats anything we have got
in the way of smar.Aesa, The men who
took part In = were nonccmmissioned
ofhcers Qualifying as gymnastic in
structors. 1t was the finest thing I
have ever seen In that line, and I feel
sure that an interchange Of expert
ences in this branch of military tain.
ing will be Of mutual benefit to both
countries Earl Roberts received my
suggestion with regard to the British
soldiers going to the United States and
picked out the team to go with the
greatest enthusiasm"
General Corbin said his experiences
Of the British army so far led him to
think there was but little difference
between the American and British
services. "They have their common
joys and sorrows. perfections and de-
fects," said the American general, "and
In the administration of such place
as, Aldershot found everything much
as would at, say, Fort Leavenworth,
but the personnel of the enlisted men
is vastly different The men in the
British ranks cannot begin to compare
from the point Of view Of brains, edu-
cation and initiative with the men who
compose Americas noncommissioned

HEAVY LOSSES IN
VENEZUELAN FIGHT
Republics President is Hard
Pressed by the Revo-
lutiOnistS.
BATTLE IS UNDECIDED
After Two Days Fighting the
Government Forces Re-
tire to La Vic
tOria.

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Oct. iS.--
News has been received here from
Caracas, Venezuela, that the battle
near La Victoria between the forces Of
President Castro, which We're said tC
number 4,100 men, with fifteen guns,
and the Venezuelan revolutionsts,
which began Monday morning, has so
far been without definite result.
General N!atos, leader Of the revolu-
ton, aud General Mendoza were not
present. The only rehs! generals en-
gagged were Glie1dla, Torres, CrcspO
and Antonio Fernandez, who had with
them about 3,10O men. representing the
advance guard of the revolutionists.
President Castro twice led charge
In person and showed great courage
and c0olness. His lieutenant, General
Alcantara, who was ut one time at the
West Point Military academy, was
mortally wounded. The government
forces had 247 men killed, while the
revolutlonists lost $40 men. Among
the latter was General Guevara.
The arrival at the scene of battle at
o'clock Monday afternoon of Vice
President Gomez with 500 men and a
large amount of ammunition saved the
situation for the government. At that
time the odds were greatly against
President Castro. but the arrival Of re-
endorsements improved his position.
Monday night the revolutionists still
retained their positions.
The fight started again Tuesday, and
at 10 o'clock in the morning President
Castro retired to La Victoria. At
O'Clock the fighting ceased on both
sides.
News Of the engagement having
reached Generals Matos and Mendoza,
they fastened to the scene and arrived
at point near La Victoria with the
rest of the revolutionary army, which
now numbers about 5000 men. The re-
endorsements under Matos and Mendo-
IN intended to take part in the renewal
of hostilties.
President Castro appears to be sur-
rounded by his enemies. The town Of
El ConsejO, which lies back of La Vic
toria, is occupied by the revolutionists.
Valencia Is believed to be doomed.
The town was attacked by General
Riera on Monday and Tuesday.
The government cannot receive re-
endorsements from Caracas, as the
German railroad from there to Valen-
ella is held by the rebels.
Those who We're wounded in the
fighting are still without medical as
sistance and care. They lie on the bat
tleiield as they fell, and the scene there !,
is one Of great horror

Sudden changes of weather are es-

sumptive. The progress of scrofula dur

We never think of scrofula-its punches.
cutaneous eruptions, and wasting of the
bodily Instrumentation thinking of
the great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
whose radical and permanent cures of
this one disease are enough to make it
the most famous medicine in the world.
There is probable not city or town
where Hood Sarsaparilla has not prov
sd its merit in more homes than one, in
aTresting and completely eradicating
serGfula. which is almost serious and
as much to be feared as its near relative,
consumption.
