REBELS ARE DEFEATED
AFTER GREAT CARNAGE.

Soiedad. Venezuela, July 24.-.Cuidao
Bolivar was captured after So hours
Of a desperate strugglge and horrible
carnage, during which great courage
was shown on both sides. The jail
and the capitol were the centres OF
the most severe fighting. and many
men were killed or wounded there.
When these places we're captured only
a few blocks behind the capitol re-
mained 20 be taken. At midnight the
fusilade ceased and the silence OF
death reigned all the rest of the night
over Cuidad Bolivar. No living per-
sons were then to be seen in the
streets.
General Rivas, the commander OK
the government troops, who met Cen
eral Gomez. the Venezuelan command
er-in-chief, near the capitol, confirmed
the announcement that the capitol, the
jail and all the rest of the city were
in the hands of the government sol
diers.
General Gomez said the resistance
at the capitol had been OF nature
worthy of a better cause, that each
yard of rampant was covered by the
dead, and that General Nicolas Ro-
lando, the last representative Of the
revolution. and his two lieutenants,
Generals Pablo and Guzman. and Gen
eral Francisco Vasquez had been taken
prisoners.
No adequate idea can be cabled OF
the scene which Cuidad Bolivar pre-
sents. The city appears to have been
swept by a cyclone, accompanied by
a confiagration.
