eminent troops at O'Clock yesterday
morning.
Soledad, Venezuela, July 2l.-The
fight from l O'Clock yesterday afternoon
was horrible, and at Z o'clock in the
evening the only places that resisted
the onset of the government troops
were the jail and the capitol.
Early in the afternoon the govern
ment troops, who had received all the
achievements available, together with
ammunition, and who numbered in all
5000 men, we're ordered to make a
general attack on all positions still held
by the rebels. At O'Clock in the af-
ternoon the Zamora, called the Sebas-
topol OF Cuidad Bolivar, was stormed
and captured.

shell.

cade erected around the Miranda plaza,

declaration as to- what their trunks con-
tain and then turning out the contents
of the trunk on the pier to search for

modified as the result of a trip to Eu-
rope OF John Bishop, deputy surveyor of

Complaints by passengers, who as
serted that Americans may visit all the

sending Of Mr.. Bishop to study and re-
port upon the examination of baggage

larger European ports, and it is under
stood he will recommend to Secretary
Shaw changes which will make the in
spection Of baggage less troublesome.
