CARNAGE WAS AWFUL
STREETS OF CIUDAD BOLIVAR
FULL OF DEAD.
Revolutionists Made Stout Resistance,
but We're Finally Forced to Capt.
ulate to Gen. Rivas.

SOLEDAD. Venezuela. Tuesday. July q.
am. (by boat from Ciudad Bolivar)-
Ciudad Bolivar was captured at IL o'clock
last night. after fifty-two hours of des-
perate struggle and horrible carnage, dur
ing which great courage was shown on both
centerS of the most severe fighting. and
many men were killed or wounded there.
When those places were captured only
few blocks behind the capitol remained to
be taken. At midnight the fusillade ceased
and the silence of death reigned all the rest
Of the night over Ciudad Bolivar. No liv-
ing persons were then to be seen in the
streets.
AT D in the morning the correspondent of
the Associated Press followed General
Rivas, the commander Of the government
troops. who met General Gomez the Eene-
Zuelan commander in-chief. near the capt.
toll and confirmed the announcement that
the capitol. the Jail and all the rest OF
the city were in the hands of the govern
ment soldiers. General Gomez informed
the CORRESPONDENT that the resistance at
the capitol had been of nature worthy
part was covered by the dead, and that
General Nicolas Rolando. the last repre-
sentative of the revolution. and his two
lieutenantS. General Pablo and Guzman,
and General Francisco NaSquez had been
taken prisoners.
No adequate idea can be cabled OF the
scene which Ciudad Bolivar presents. The
city appears to have been swept by cy-
clone accompanied by contagration.

ALLEGED INCREASE IN COST.
Printing Bill Said to Be in Excess Of
That of Last Year.

The superintendent of street cleaning,
Mr.. Warner Stutler, has called the atten-
ton of Commissioner West, who has super
vision of his department, to the fact that
the printing of machine sweeping schedules
has cost the department this year moro
than twice the sum paid for the same class
and amount of work last year. The atten-
ton of the property clerk has also been
called to the matter, and formal expla-
nation will probably be had from the firm
doing the work
Last year the machine sweeping schedules
were printed under a private agreement
with Judd & Detweiler, and the price paid
was SOL. This year the printing of these
schedules wa; included in that portion OF
the contract let to the Globe Printing Com
pany. The schedules are printed at the be-
ginning of each fiscal year. Mr.. Stutler has
received for approval from the contracting
printing company a bill amounting To
$3.50 50. The Globe Printing Company was
the lowest bidder on the class of work de-
sired, but it appears that the contract sys-
tenn in this instance has proved somewhat
expensive.
presented the matter to the Commissioners.
1t is stated that there are six sets of sched-
ules. No. l and No. are almost identical,
and the same is true of Nos. = and q. The
Globe company has explained to the Dis
trict officials that even though there were
only one or two changes in these two sets
of schedules, still they required by the
rules of the union to pay full price for the
type in hand. or as much as if the whole
schedule were set up anew.
1t was explained that the reason the
work could be done more cheaply last year
was that the printers were paid at the
establishment awarded the work by time
and not by piece. as the at the Globe
company. The charge to the Commission
ers was made In accordance with the rules
of the union. the contract being let at SO
much per LOCO ems.

"Beat' for the Associated Press.

PARIS, July 23.-This mornings Figaro
says:
cit is a curious fact that 1t was from
New York that the news of the death Of
the pope rea ched London. AS soon as he
was informed of the decease Of the holy
father, the correspondent of the Assocat-
ed Press at Rome cabled New York by all
of the various routes. One of these mes
sages was sent by the French cable COM
pany from Brest to New York. and arrived
at it's destination in a few seconds. in spite
of the crowded condition Of all the lines
starting at Rome and ending at New York
The New York office of the Associated
Press, in its turn, cabled the news to the
Reuter- agency in London. which had not
yet heard of 1t. although there exists d.
rect wire from Rome to London. The salts
faction of the Associated Press can be con-
ceived. We understand 1T has cabled its
congratulations and thanks to NJ. Berard,

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The local stock market still gives evil
dence of apathy, both on the part of the
owners of securities and probable invest
ors. There is no particular desire to sell,
and there is but little inclination to buy.
At the daily sessions of the stock exchange
there is a fairly good attendance of MEM
bers, but the volume of business Is so slight
that when a commission is made sufficient
to cover the cost of the average business
mans daily luncheon the fortunate broker
becomes quite conspicuous.
Next week some of the familiar faces
seen at the daily meetings of the exchange
will be missed. Among those who have
planned to take their annual vacations at
that time are Mr.. Charles G. Glover who
will spend the time abroad: Mr.. Charles J.
Bell and Mr.. Sanford N. Whitwell
