REBELS ARE BEATEN.
Carnage in City Of Ciudad Bolivar Is
Described as Something
Terrible

Caracas, July 23.-A messenger who
has arrived here by steamer and train
from Ciudad Bolivar reports that the
city was captured by the government
troops at o'clock Tuesday morning.
Soledad, Venezuela, Monday, July 20.
The fight from 1 O'clock this after
noon has been horrible and at this hour
the only places which still resist the
onset of the government troops are the
jail and the capitol.
Early in the afternoon the govern
ment troops, which had received all
the reinforcements available, together
with ammunition, and who numbered
in all $500 men, were ordered to make
a general attack upon all positions still
held by the rebels.
At o'clock this afternoon tie IA
mora" called the Sepastopol of Ciudad
Bolivar, was stormed and captured.
Ninety-four dead rebels were found in
side, among them being General Azan-
"a, one of the revolutionary leaders,
whose head had been blown off by a
she'll It is impossible to render an
idea of the carnage which occurred at
this point.
At the same time General Rivas,
General Gomez's chief lieutenant, with
2,3OO men, succeeded in destroying a
plaza, the key to the capitol, where all
the survivors of the revolution were
concentrated.
All the roads and streets running in
to the capitol are guarded by govern
ment troops, and the escape of the revo-
lutionists after the capture OF the cap
itol, which is inevitable seems impos-
sible. They must either surrender or
die.
At o'clock tonight the customs
| house was taken after ten hours
fight. The Associated Press cores
| pondent counted sixty killed as q re-
! suit 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.

Il 1901, under this amendment, spe-
Sal election was held in this city, which
@sulted in a majority for the issuance
n water bonds to the mount OF $210,-
DO.
None, however, was issued under this
kote until June Of this year. In the
heantime the amendment to the con-
Hitution under which the bonds were
ssued had been repealed by second
kmendment, adopted in November OF
hst year, which made numerous
shanges in the first amendment. The
Question proposed to be raised in the
Supplemental bills is that the power to
ssue bonds, conferred by the election
aeld in 1901, ceased upon the adoption
bf the second amendment in 1902.
If this contention is upheld by the
eourts it will be necessary for the city
authorities to hold new election and
Sbtatn a new vote in favor Of the bonds
before proceeding further with the con-
stuction of a municipal system. II

Restrained.
Whether or not the supplemental
bills will be permitted to be filed In the

FATE HANGS ON LETTER
Man Indicted for Wife Murder
Wants to Know Who
Wrote Il,

Terre Haute, Ind, July 23.-If Henry
Seward can establish the fact that let
ter mailed in Terre Haute two days before
May 16 and in which he was notified that
his wife was to be murdered was not writ
ten by himself or with hts knowledge he
can escape conviction on the charge of
murder, which was placed against him
this week by Coroner King OF Putnam
county.
On that date his wife was murdered in
their farm cottage, near Lena, Putnam
county. Ever since the coroner and the
sheriff have been trying to find evidence
and Seward apparently has been assisting
them. Lately he has known he was sus-
pected, and that, in fact he was under
surveillance. So when he was arrested
he made a tired sort Of remark that he
hoped they had enough evidence to hang
him.
saying he wanted to get trace Of the
writer of the letter Of warning. 1t was
signed Frank Wilson," The handwriting
is something like that of Seward, but not
enough to be convincing. Coroner King
and Sheriff Cooper also came here and
hunted up all the Frank Wilson's they
could hear Of, but with no clew to the
writer After their return to Greencastle
the coroner rendered his verdict, accusing
Seward of killing his wife with club or
other blunt instrument
1t is said that the coroner and the sher-
iff have evidence of a positive character,
but the indications are that the Seward
murder is to remain as much of a nys-
terry in the minds of many persons as has
that of Mrs. Hinshaw Of the adjoining
county, and for which the preacher hus-
band was sentenced to prison for life. In
the Hinshaw case there was shadow of
motive at least. In the Seward case even
the shadow is not now seen. Seward re-
ported in the evening of May 16 that on
his arrival home from work in the field
he found his wife murdered. So far as
known there had been no quarreling be.
tween husband and wife, nor is jealousy
known to have existed.
