tacI<s on Ciudnd Bolivar.
Soledad, Venezuela, Monday, July 20,
Z p. m.-The fight from 1 o'clock this
afternoon has been horrible, and at
this hour the only places which still re-
sist the onset of the government troops
are the Jail and the Capitol
Early in the afternoon $500 govern
ment troops stormed and captured the
"Zamora," called the Sebastopol of
Ciudad Bolivar. Ninety-four dead
rebels were found inside, among them
being Gen. Azanza, one of the revolu-
tionary leaders, whose head had been
blown off by a shell.
The escape of the revolutionists after
the capture of the Capitol, which is in
evitable, seems impossible. They must
either surrender or die. At O'Clock
tonight the Custom House was taken
after a ten hours fight. The Associated
Press representative counted sixty kill
ed as a result of this fight.
The Dalton block, where the Ameri-
can consulate and most of the foreign
business houses are located, was cap
tured at O'Clock.
The revolutionists are without pro-
visions and water the supply pipe
having been cut yesterday. Their sit
uation is considered desperate and
hopeless. The shops are being pillaged.

ShnmrOcks.

ShnmrOcSs.
Atlantic Highlands N. j., July e.
Sir Thomas Upton watched anXiously
from the deck of the Erin to-day,
while for an hour his priceless cup
challenger was temporarily lost to his
view behind a blank wall of binding
fog.
When the beautiful yacht came limp
ing out of the fog with her gaff broken,
Sir Thomas was so pleased to see her
safe that the accident was of little i'm
portance to him The steel gait was
bent and the rivets pulled out, about
ten feet from the mast as the yacht
jumped into a sharp tumble of sea. 1t
did not break entirely in two. The
yacht has a spare gaff at Erie Basin,
and it will be in place in time for to-
morrow's race.
The dense fog which shut down on
the yachts when they had sailed about
five miles of the last leg of the course,
put an end to the racing. Shamrock
III had beaten the old boat three min
utes forty-five seconds, to the turn
and was five minutes ahead when the
fog rolled in.

Jordan apparently relented after the
second dose, and called a doctor from

ambulance. Mrs. Jordan recovered
rapidly.
The man was slower in responding to
the treatment. 1t is thought that both
will be well enough to be arraigned in
the Police Court tomorrow.
Jordan is from the South. His wife
says he has lost everything.

SPOILED BY MISHAPS.
Was no Satisfaction in the Cup De-
Tense Trial.

Newport, R. l., July 22.-The last run
of the New York Yacht Club cruise
back from Lynn Haven harbor to-
day was almost as disappointing as
that of yesterday, at least so far as
the ninty footers were concerned.
Within mile of the start the Re-
lance and Columbia struck bottom
and only the quick turn of the wheel
saved the Constitution. The Reliance
came off within two minutes, while
the Columbia stuck for over an hour,
being finally assisted OFF, apparently
uninjured, but of course, out of the
raca.
The two other boats kept on, but on
getting out beyond Gay Head, stiff
puff of wind snapped off the topmast
of the Constitution. After the wreck
had been cleared away, she proceeded
and crossed the finish line nearly
three quarters of an hour after the
Reliance, so that the latter boat had
practically a walk over.
