GATES LOSES IN COLORADO
Judge Caldwell Decides All Contended
Points Against the steel ware
PlunEef.

DENVER, Oct 1.--Judgc Henry G. Cald-
well. in the United States circuit court this
afternoon, decided the case Of George f.
Bartlett against Gates, Blair and Mitchell
and the officers Of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company.
This is the case In which Bartlett OBJ
tained an injunction preventing the stock
holders meeting Of August 20 from being
held and in which Gates and his associates
filed a cross bill. The court now orders
that the stockholders meeting be held on
the 7th day OF December and the effect OF
the order is that II be in charge Of and
conducted by Chairman Osgood in accord
ance with the bylaws of the company and
the statutes Of Colorado,
Gates and his associates have bitterly at
tackled the officers of the company for the
passage OF certain bylaws providing the
manner in which stockholders meetings
should be conducted, and have asserted that
these bylaws were invalid and passed for
the purpose OF continuing the present man
agement in power. The court holds that
these bylaws are valid.
Judge Caldwell also decides against the
contention of Gates that the stockholders
list furnished by the Knickerbocker Trust
company should be used for the purpose of
determining who had a right TO vote at the
meeting, and decides that the books Of the
secretary Of the company shall be used in
ascertaining that fact.
The court will appoint Judge Seymour D.
Thompson Of st. Louis as master to investi-
gate and report to the stockholders meet
ing who In fact had a right to vote, and for
this purpose empowers him to take testi-
mony in New York, Denver and elsewhere.
The court also decided that the owners
Of stock or their proxies had right to vote,
even II they did not appear on the New York
books when the same closed.

CRUSHING OUT A REBELLION
President Castro of YenesueIa in the
Field Operating vigorously
Against Mendoza.

WILLEMsTAD, Island Of O -acoa, Oct 1.
President Castro OF Venez' tier leav-
ing Venezuela September I. I'm cad Of
an army Of 5000 men with Sc R|l rs,
with the announced intention OF,
the insurgent force at Tocuyito. CONN
by General Mendoza, reached San ".
de los Moros, near villa Decura, believing
that Mendoza was there. He found only
1,5OO local guerillas at that place, and after
a sharp fight the latter we're routed. The
government incorrectly announced this
engagement as being a victory over Men
doza's army, which also says that that gen
eral is near San Sebastian ready to effect
a junction with the forces Of General Ma
tos. The final defeat Of General Matos is
believed in Venezuela to be sure.
The Venezuelan government refuses TO
grant the request Of a delegation from the
insurgents of Barquisimeto who wished to
obtain permission to introduce provisions
into the town through Tucacas, the only
available port. The misery at Barqulsl-
meto is almost indescribable. The inhab-
itants have been without provisions from
the outside for forty-fve days. Cases Of
yellow fever and typhus have been re-
ported there.

This is particularly applicable in

IT is fiat and tasteless, whereas the

There is a point between twelve and

PERFECT PLANS.
DeIarey Nicely Trapped British
Convoy Near KIerksdorp.
John Bull Held Out for Two Hours
and Then Surrendered.
Bocrs Robbed the Dead, in Spite ct
DeIarey's Protests.

London, March 5.-Telegrams received
here from Klerksdorp. describing the
Boer attacks upon and capture of 46T
British soldiers who were acting as
convoy to an empty wagon train at a
point southwest of Klerksdorp, Feb. "a,
show that Gen. Delarey laid his plans
with consummate care and precise
knowledge of the ground.
The third Boer attack upon the con-
voy was delivered from various points
and was most determined. BY sheer
recklessness they sought to ride down
and overwhelm the British defence. The
British guns shelled the charging Beers
but nothing stopped their onslaught,
which was delivered with unusual inn
petus. The convoy mules were sub
jected to a heavy fire and in many cases
they were deserted by the native driv-
ers They stampeded, put many of the
defenders temporarily out of atcion
and caused the widest confusion.
For two hours the British held out
They then divided and were over
whelmed. A few minutes of confused
fighting and all was over. The Beers
galloped along the line. firing at every
man who showed the slightest tendency
to resist, until they reached and cap
tured the guns. In the extreme rear
the Northumberland Fusiliers, who had
been cut off. succeeded in fighting their
way out for some distance. When their
ammunition became exhausted they
charged with bayonets, but were speed
lily overpowered.
BY O'Clock in the morning all re-
sistance was at an end The dead and
wounded were scattered all over the
field. Broken wagons and panic
stricken horses and mules made "a
scene of indescribable confusion. Not
until Gen. Delarey came in person was
anything like order restored. He
stopped the Beers who were engaged
in stripping the British wounded, by
the free use of a sjambok, but they con-
tinued the work of despoiling directly
