DIR. Canright's recent kilograms say the

WILLEMSTAD, Island Of Curacao, Sept.
17.-President Castro. of Venezuela, has re-
treated from Ocumare before the advance
of the revolutionists. The Venezuelan gov
ernment's situation is critical.
Recent advices received from Venezuela
confirm the dispatches from Willemstad of
Friday, Sept. II. The battle which, as then
announced, began Sept. IL in the vicinity of
Tinaquillo, Venezuela. between about 1900
revolutionists under the command of Gen.
erals Mendoza. Batalla and Riera, and gov
eminent forces of about the same strength
led by the Venezuelan minister of war, Gen.
eral Garrido, resulted in the defeat of the
government forces, and not in a victory for
the latter, as announced in a dispatch from
Torres Cardenas, secretary of President
Castro. which set forth that General Men
doza's army had been annihilated Sept. s,
near Tinaquillo. The engagement of that
date, as cabled from here Sept. IL, was only
an advance guard fight of no Importance.
The real battle began Sept IL and lasted
four days, under which he retreated on
Valencia and entered that city Sept. Is with
about 200 men, leaving the road free for
the further advance on Caracas for the
revolutionary army under Generals Men
doZa, Riera and Battala.
The only other government army in the
field Is the one which is under the personal
of President Castro, who, a few
days ago. was at Ocumare, about forty-five
miles south of Caracas, and was sending out
scouts looking for the advance guards of
the army of General Matos, the revolu-
tionary leader. The President later aban-
doned his position precipitately before the
advance of the revolutionists, who occupied
The President retreated from
Ocumare to C~harayavaya and then to
Guayaba, about four hours march from
Caracas. According TO report the President
intends to move his army to a point near
Valencia, join forces with the troops under

From all points are reported desertion of

SITUATION AT ~LAGUAYRA.
reports from Commander John A.
Rogers, of the Marietta.

DOSCEs VI tnc muIlelIHs
WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE Navy De-
partmeint to-day received two reports from
Commander John A. Rodgers, of the Ma
rietta at Laguayra, Venezuela, on the Sit
last report. In the first, dated Laguayra,
Venezuela, Sept. 2, Commander Rodgers
specially mentions the fact that during
the stay of the Marietta in port at Curacao
officials exerted themselves to make the
stay of officers and men pleasant. He
adds: Hearing rumors Of a movement
of the revolutionary forces in Venezuela
1 returned direct to this port Oaguayra)
on the I'd inst. So far as | can ascertain
the condition of affairs in Venezuela is
practically the same as when first ar
rived here-that a decisive battle may oc-
cur at any time. Practically no change
Is reported in the strength of either side.
The trouble may be prolonged indefinitely,
or 1t may terminate in a few DAYS"
Under date of Sept. s Commander
Rodgers says: I'm case the revolutionists
enter the town 1 apprehend that the gov
eminent forces may attempt to lombard
them out If the forts are not captured
first. as II is reported that the forts, to a
certain extent, command the town. The
gunboat may also open fire and repel the
attack. As / have no instructions from
the department, 1 cabled to-day for adj
vices as to what action / should take to
prevent the threatened bombardment in
case the ~revolutionists enter the town. AT
the present time there is a revolutionary
force in the hills between Laguayra and
Caracas. the strength of which is variously
estimated at from 500 to 1000 men. bur the
general opinion is that they will not make
a serious attack until the main body
achieves the victory"

they may only find employment in the
proportion OF one unprotected alien to
two 'Roumanians, under any one employer.
IN A wRETCHED STATE.
I'm short, by the cumulative effect of
successive restrictions, the Jews of Rou-
mania have become reduced to a state of
wretched misery. Shut out from nearly
every avenue of self-support which is open
to the poor of other lands, and ground
down by poverty as the natural result Of
their discriminatory treatment. they are
rendered incapable of lifting themselves
from the enforced degradation they endure.
Even were the fields of education, of civil
employment and of commerce open TO them
as to 'Roumanian citizens their penury
would prevent their rising by individual
effort. Human beings so circumstanced
have virtually no alternatives but submits
sive suffering or flight to some land less
unfavorable to them. Removal under such
conditions is not and cannot be the healthy,
intelligent emigration of a free and self
reliant being. 1t must be, in most cases,
the mere transportation of any artificially
produced diseased growth to a new place."
Granting that a better and more health
full surroundings the morbid conditions
will eventually change for good, much i'm
migration is necessarily for the time a
burden to the community upon which the
fugitives may be cast. Self-reliance and
the knowledge and ability that evolve the
power OF self-support must be developed,
and at the same time avenues of employ
ment must be opened in quarters where
competition Is already keen and opportuni-
ties scarce. The teachings of history and
the experience of our own Nation show
that the Jews possess in a high degree
the mental and moral qualifications of con-
scientious citizenhood. No class of immi-
grants is more welcome to our shores,
when coming equipped in mind and body
for entrance upon the struggle for bread.
and inspired with the high purpose to give
the best service OF heart and brain to the
land they adopt of their own free will. But
when they come as outcasts, made doubly
paupers by physical and moral oppression
in their native lands. and thrown upon the
long-suffering generosity of a more favored
community, their migration lacks the es-
sential conditions which make alien i'm
migration either acceptable or beneficial.
So well is this appreciated on the con-
tinent that even in the countries where
