Soledad, Vez., July 20.-Since the last
dispatch was sent to The Associated
Press, yesterday afternoon, the battle
between the revolutionary forces at
Ciudad Bolivar, and the Venezuelan
government army commanded by Gen.
Gomez, has ragged madly. Block after
block was destroyed, the government
troops entering the city slowly. All the
houses had been fortified and the rev.
olutionists had ben firing from fiat
roofs. When the revolutionists finally
abandoned the houses, after having
taken all that could be used for bar
ricades, or to otherwise stop the ad-
vance of the government troops they
We're Immediately occupied by the gov
eminent troops who bored big holes
in them for communications.
AT o'clock in the evening, the gov
eminent forces, which were advancing
from all directions, arriving near the
center of Ciudad Bolivar. For two
hours previously, firing had dimin-
ishcd, but it was renewed with more
vigor at 10 o'clock at night.
At o'clock in the morning, when
the inhabitants Of the commercial and
foreign parts of the city near the Alme-
de, saw the advance of the government
troops, they all abandoned their homes
and sought refuge in other parts of the
city, crossing the streets amidst a hail
of bullets and shells, the women carry
ing their children, the strong helping
the weak. Many men in trying to pro-
tect the women, fell, struck by bullets
in the middle of the streets. What with
the firing, the yells of the wounded and
the crying of the women and children,
u terrible scene was witnessed.
The government troops, however,
acted with humanity, especially the
forces Of Gen. Rivas, who, fighting
bravely, was the first to order the at
lacking force to be merciful.
At s O'Clock this morning, the govern
ment officials having effected a juno
ton of their forces, north and south,
and having received further supplies of
ammunition, decided to push the attack
on the center of the city. At 10 o'clock,
the government troops had charged the
north side of the Alameda, the public
park of Ciudad Bolivar which has been
defended by a double row of barricades.
Beside one of these was found more
than 80 dead soldiers, while wounded
men were seen on all sides.
The government commander, seeing
that only the artillery could make
breach in the, remaining barbados of
the Alameda, ordered'12 guns to open
fire on them and at the same time the
Venezuelan fleet opened fire.
The soldiers on both sides have had
no food for two days, no ambulances are
used, and yet the. fighting continues.

the extension of the water main from the

Carroll avenue to the Sligo bridge, a dis

informed that the sanitarium was expected
to accommodate 100 patients and the school
100 pupils. which would also require about
100 attendants for the two institutions AS
the water treatment is the feature of the
sanitarium. an unusually large amount of

meet these requirements 1t would be neces-

would necessitate the building of an addi-

Disappearance OF Barbara Ebert From
Antioch, Ill, a Sensation in
Lake County.
KIDNAPPING THOUGHT POSSIBLE.
Had Gone to School and Never Returned.
Former Friends of the Child May
Have Been Implicated.

A mysterious disappearance Of a
young child is reported from Antioch
and ia connection with it, it is said
that It may develop into case of
kidnapping.
Where is fourteen-year-ol Barbara
Ebert. of Antioch?
"A week ago yesterday she left the
home Of her mother, Mrs. Elise Klopp
and went to school. She appeared
unusually CHEEKY as she kissed her
mother good-by and tripped down the
shady village street with her school
books.
AT noon she told her teacher, Miss
Smith, she would not be at school in
the afternoon and since then no one
appears to have heard of the child.
1.-TWO years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Grimm, rich people of Antioch, took
Barbara to live with them said Mrs.
Klopp yesterday. ST found that they
were teaching the child to dislike me,
her mother, SO secured an order
from court and took her home week
ago Friday. When she disappeared
I went to Mrs. Grimm and asked her
if she knew where Barbara was. She
treated me coldly, and said she did
not know
Efforts have been made to find some
trace of the child but so far nothing
has been found that will give solu-
ton to the strange mystery. The
mother seems to be convinced that the
child is in the keeping of Mr.. and
Mrs. Grimm, but if such is the case
the little girl has not been seen in the
neighborhood of the Grimm home, and
it is thought possible that she has
been taken to Chicago or Milwaukee
and is being kept there by the people
with whom she previously lived.
The girl is an exceedingly brig hit
child and it is thought that she pre-
ferred to live with her mother.
The case has caused considerable of
a mystery in the regions about
Antioch.
