Soledad. Venezuela, July %. - Gu
dad Bolivar was captured after fifty
two hours of a desperate Struggle and
much carnage, during which great
courage was shown on both sides. The
jail and the capitol were the 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 re-
manned to be taken. At midnight the
fusilade ceased and the silence Of
death reigned the rest of the night
over the city. No living persons We're
then to be seen in the streets.
At 5 o'clock in the morning the cor
respondent of the Associated Press
followed Gen. Rivas, the commander
of the government troops, who met
Gen. Gomez, the Venezuelan COM
mander-in-chief, near the capitol 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.
Gen. Gomez informed the CORES

capitol had been Of nature worthy of

Makes Desperate Effort to Lynch a
NeurO

negro.
St Louis, July PA mob made a
desperate but unsuccessful effort last
night to lynch John Davis, a negro
who had just shot and killedzhis wife.
The shooting attracted two policemen,
who hurried into the house and ar
rested Davis. The officers took their
prisoner to street corner patrol box
and had sent in call when a mob Of
nearly 100 negroes rushed On them.
Lynch him" shouted negro in the
crowd, and the cry was taken up as
the mob surrounded the officers and
prisoner. Davis crouched to the
ground and begged the officers for pro-
lection. The officers drew their re
Yolvers and began using them as
clubs, knocking several members of
the mob senseless. Additional officers
arrived and the mob was put to rout
and Davis was taken to jail in safety.

terday. Joseph Walton, G Liberal who
strongly favored an extension OF Brit
ish trade by means of colonial deVel-

succession of humiliating surrenders
in China. He said the time had ar
rived for facing the situation in Man
churia and New Chwang.
The under foreign secretary, Lord
Cranborne, in reply, said that the
government was fully aware of the
position of Manchuria.
The great difficulty up to the pres

was that Great Britain had never yet
been able to ascertain exactly what
the Russian government wanted, and
the fact remained that Manchuria was

They were invading Dale Coun- ty. and on the night fin question were near Brannon's Stand, with something like sixty men. Calling their attention, he ad- dressed them: "Men.

THE PARASITE OF cANCnR.
The Cause of the Disease Said to
 Have Been. Isolated.

The Cause of the Disease Said to
 Have Been, Isolated.
 New York Times.
 The Abernethian Society of London has been advised that pr. Otto Schmidt, of Cologne. has succeeded in isolating the specific parasite of cancer, and es- tabIished the fact that what have been regarded as the relatively numerous mi- cro-organisms hitherto observed in these morbid growths. and which have been more or less vaguely associated with the disease, are really one family. but as- sume different shapes. under different conditions. If this discovery Is substan- tiated. long step has been taken in dealing with this baffiing and terrible malady It in a sense prepares us for the announcement that pr. Schmidt has discovered a serum which in a cancerous patient has the power of destroying the cancer cells. Dr. Russell. of Edinburgh, not long since reached conclusions almost identical with those announced by pr. Schmidt. but was more discreet in an nouncing them, although subsequent mi croscopic investigations in England and in this country seemed to emphasize the importance of his work.
 If pr. Schmidt has succeeded in iso- lating the specific parasite of cancer. he has done a great work, and one from which incalculable benefit to humanity will result. The matter is regarded with enough interest in London to warrant the sending of a qualified specialist to Col ogne to study pr. Schmidt's method. The most interesting experiments thus far made in cancer treatment of which full records are available are with radiums in which Dr. Exner. who was commis- stoned for the purpose by the Vienna | Academy of Science, has had very en- couraging results in ameliorative treat
 ment. It will be tested to final eonclu- sions by the stan of the London cancaB lHoapitaL
