WILL PUSH ADVANTAGE
PRESIDENT CASTRO INTENDS TO
 FOLLOW UP SUCCESS.
General Mates Believed to Be En- deavoring to Secure Aid from Colombia for the Venezuelan
 Revolutionists.
s3 comnferce St.

sWiilemstad, Nov. 19.-President Castro of Venezuela is energetically pushing operations to prevent the revol:utionists in that republic from recovering from the effect of their dissensions and the flight of General Matos.
 One of the objects of Matos's depart ure. it is reported, Y, to make an attempt to induce the Colombian Government, which is notoriYasly unfriendly to Presi- dent Castro. tS send arms and ammuni- tion to hisImen. Mates also relied on his wealthy friends in this island with whom he is comforting, though sick. These per sons have already contributed money in support of the Venezuelan revolution. but under the belief that President Castro would flee from the country. Conse- Quently inadequate preparations were made and hence the present conditions Of the revolutionists.
 Matos's future plans are kept secret Though his estates in Venezuela have been confiscated, he still has money and can continue to contest either personally or through Generals Rolando and Lucia no Mendoza, who are still in the field The general opinion in well informed circles, however, Is that Mates aspira- tions to the presidency of Venezuela are absolutely ended
 General Rolando is a member of the Mocho party and it is reported that If he can obtain ammunition he will support General Jose M. Hernandez. known as Ell AIocho C'The maimed'O, who Is sick and who has been confined In chains for two years past in the castle of Maracaibo General Roiando is now the strongest leader of the rsvolutionists. He com mands 300 men and can draw around him about 4,o00. But though it Is currently reported that he has 900 rounds of am- nunition, it is believed that he has not more than 10000 rounds. The general Is now at Lezama, awaiting additional ammunition and President Castro is con Centrating his troops on that place.
 The whereabouts of General Mendoza is unknown, though the Venezuelan govern ment officials are making diligent search for him. He is believed to be In the west ern district and to have with him only his staff, but he Is able to gather men around him.
 The enmity existing between General Mendoza and General Rolando is alleged to be responsible for the defeat of the revoutionists at La Victoria. It Is said the former is jealous of General Rolando, who is constantly making some efforts in the operations and whose troops are bearing the brunt of the fighting. Gen erals Riera and Solagnie have also dis appeared, but there still exist in the country numerous guerilla bands who, formidable one day, disappear the next on the approach of the Government troops.
 President Castro is quoted as saying, 'T have the situation well in hand. snd shall pursue my advantage"
 Since the battle of La Victoria the Government troops have occupied Coro and Cumana and they are preparing to attack Barcelona where the revolutionary General Pablo Guzman, IS stationed with 1000 men They will then march on

IN JAMES BOYS STYLE
BANDITS ROB A GAMBLING
 DEN,
Secured $1 ,943 from Proprietors and Players and Shot the Colored Porter-Exciting Times in a
 Minneapolis Suburb.

Minneapolis, Nov. 19.-In a fashion reminiscent of the JamesYounger gang. two bandits held up a gaming den at Co., lumbia Heights, secured $1943 from the score of players and proprietors, and se- riously wounded Harvey Howard, the colored porter.
 The gambling den is operated by syn dicate of sporting men in the rear of J. D. Sullivan's saloon at the end of a trolley line in the suburbs of Minneapo- lis. Each robber used a dark handker- chief to shield the power part of his countenance. There are two entrances to the room. One robber entered at each door at the same time and ordered the in- mates to hold up their hands. The play CTS and attendants were then lined up on one side of the room and while one of the robbeRs kept them covered with his revolver, the other rifled pockets and tills.
 First, David Brice, the manager, was searched He was relieved of his revol- yer which was thrown out of a window then $165 was extracted from his pockets Ingram Flick, treasurer of the resort, yielded $1.60S. Half dozen patrons of the place were relieved of sums ranging from $10 to $40.
 While the robbery was in progress Steve Carlzon. who lodges up stairs, look ed in. He made a nasty exit with four bullets in intellectual pursuit. Then Harvey Howard, the colored porter, aroused from nap by the shots. bound ed in to learn the cause and bounded out again but two bullets. one in each leg tumbled him into the street where he lay for half an hour.
 The second robber went into the saloon in front where he secured $S0 from the cash drawer. Sullivan, however, saved $S65 by hiding the money between his legs and pretending to be knock kneed.
 After the robbery the bandit leader or dered his assistant to get the rig" Du- ring his absence Sullivan's clothes caught fire as the huddled crowd had pressed him to the stove. The thug or dered realignment, because, as he said. he did not want to burn the man up.
 When the second returned with the rig" the robbers backed out keeping the crowd covered with their revolvers LLtil they had disappeared in the dark ness. Half a dozen detectives and a posse of citizens hastened to the scene but search for the robbers has thus far proven futile.

Something little dressier than colored suit but not approaching the sombreness of black, is defined in our new shaded Oxfords.
 The straight-back Princeton Cut is yet one of the most popular suit styles. It has the heavy shoulders, with no seam down the back.
 Another suit has the coat slightly shaped, but not extreme, similar to last years Yale. Seam down center of back; with double vents. We are extremely proud of this suit.
 The new cutaway is longer this season. In fact all coats are longer, including the sack, and are of more dignifed cut.
