and 200 Prisoners.

CARACAS, Jan. 13.-About LOO
revolutionists under Gen. Manuel Mo-
rales attacked Cumana, in the state Of
Bermudez, on the 4th, 9Th and 9Th of
this month. Cumana was defeated by
500 government troops. On Jan. 6,
after a sevenhour fight, the revolu-
tionists abandoned the field, leaving
800 Mauser rifles and $4,000 cartridges
behind, and 200 of their number pris-
oners in the hands of the government
forces. Revolutionists have been very
active for the past week, knowing, as
they do, that if the blockade is raised
their cause will become more difficult.
President Castro, through the United
States, has informed the three powers
that he is disposed to pay the expenses
of maintaining the blockading squad
ron in Venezuelan waters on condition
that the blockade be raised immediate
ly. He does not object to their war
ships remaining in Venezuelan ports.
Italy is disposed to agree to this prop

Canadian Coal Is Not Expected,

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 13-It was
the unanimous opinion Of a half dozen
prominent coal dealers of this city that
a rebate equal to the duty on Canadian
coal would not result in any Canadian
coal coming into this section Of the
country. The Canadian coal that is
brought into this country will all go to
the New England coast, the local men
say. The only benefit that the Middle
West will derive will be by a possible
lessening of New England's demand on
the American coal fields.
