Fighter in a Spanish Arena.
One of the most thrilling incidents
ever Witnessed in the arena is re-
called by the recent feat of the Span
ish toreadOr Reverte. 1t occurred at
Bayonne. After disposing OF two bulls
Reverte had twice plunged his sword
into a third, Of great strength and
~ferocity, and as the beast continued
careering wildly the spectators began
to hiss Reverte for bungling. Wound
ed to the very quick Of his pride, the
Spaniard shouted, The bull is slain!"
and. throwing aside his sword, sank
on one knee with folded arms In the
middle Of the ring. He was right. but
he had not allowed for the margin of
accident.
The wounded beast charged full
upon him, but the matador, splendid
to the last, knelt m~otionless as a
statue, while the spectators held their
breath in Mortified suspense. Reach
ing his victim, the bull literally
bounded at him, and as he sprang he
sank in death, with his last effort Civ
ing one fearful lunge of the head
that drove a horn into the thigh of
the kneeling man and laid bare the
bone from the knee to the joint. Still
Reverte never finched, but remained
kneeling, exultant in victory, but
calmly contemptuous of applause, till
he was carried away to heal him of
his ~grievous wound.

BLOCKADE IS RAISED PRESIDENT CASTRO SEES A
 NEW LIGHT. England Threatened to Recognize the Belligerency of the vene-
 zuelan Rebels-United
 States is Relieved,

Washington, March 13.-A cablegram was received today at the State Depart ment from United States Charge Russell at caracas announcing that the blockade or the Orinoco river, declared by Presi- dent Castro March [, had been raised. The action taken by the Venezuelan gov ernment in raising the blockade was re- ceiVed here with great relief, although tnere was no outward symptoms of trou- pie. It Is now known that the enforce ulent or the decree probably would have resulted Tn serious friction, perhaps in- Volvlng renewal of hostilities
 British interests, next to our own. be- ing predominant in the Orinoco section, the British Ambassador here was the first to move after the announcement of the blockade decree. The United States practically had decided to recognize the blockade If Venezuela stationed a suffi- clent number of ships at the mouth of the orlnoco to make 1t effective, particularly If the ships were supplemented in their work by shore batteries in command of positions But the British government was not disposed to recognize the block ade as 1t would work particular hardship to the British colonies in Trinidad and i Guiana which already are in strengthened i financial circumstances.
 
 l to understand that if the blockade was | persisted in Great Britain would recognize | the belligerency of the rebels in Vene- zuela, and moreover, applying the laws | of neutrality with strictness, would close all British ports to Venezuelan warships, | allowing them only the small privi- lege of putting In in time of stress for a | very limited period. Even during the en- forcement of the blockade last March the British government never went to this length and the threat dismayed President | Castro. If the rebels were to be recog- nized as belligerents their cause would be strengthened immensely for they might charter privateers and be put in position | to borrow money and conduct war on a | larger and maybe successful scale. Incidentally. the revocation of the or | der has relieved the naval authorities l here who had decided that if the block ade was to be re-establshed it would be 1 the duty of the navy to watch develop ments at the mouth of the Orinoco and that we should send three naval vessels to that locality.
