Soledad, Venezuela, July 22.-The
fight from. ! o'clock Monday afternoon
has been horrible and the ,only places
which still resist the onset of the gov.
eminent troops are the Jail and the
capitol.
Early in the afternoon the govern.
ment troops, which had received all the
reinforcements available. together with
ammunition, and who numbered in all
5000 men, were ordered to make a
general attack upon all positions still
held by the rebels. AT 5 o'clock Mon.
day afternoon the "Zamora," called
the Sebastopol of Ciudad Bolivar, was
stormed and captured. Ninety-fou1
dead rebels were found inside, among
them being General AZanZa, one of the
revolutionary leaders, whose head
had been blown off by a she'll. 1t is
impossible to render an idea Of the
carnage which occurred at this point.

ritory.
London Correspondent New York Tribune
AS the Sultan Of Johore, sovereign of a.
large Kingdom to the north Of Singapore
subject to the suzerainty Of the British
crown, is to pay a visit to this country
after leaving Australia, it may be well to
draw attention to the fact that he cannot
be sued or prosecuted in any American
courts from the jurisdiction of which he
will be just as much exempt while In this
country as any Of the foreign ambassadors
at Washington Attention has been called
to this prerogative enjoyed by foreign
sovereigns when they travel abroad BY
the failure of a suit brought by a Mel
bourne artist against the sultan for pay
ment for an Illuminated pedigree OF one Of
the sultan's race horses, which he had
been commissioned to paint. The Aus
tralian courts informed the unfortunate
artist that they could do nothing for him,
since foreign ruler, even when on Brit
ish' soil, could not be sued in any British
courts, and added that they could sug-
gest no legal course by which he could
recover the money due him. The failure
of this suit serves to recall the fact that
the sultan's father had breach of promise
proceedings brought against him while
staying in England in the English courts.
In this instance matters were complicated
by the fact that the old sultan, Who was
light complexioned, had wooed and won
the fair plaintiff, not as sultan, but under
the name of Albert Baker. Indeed. it was
not until after the matter was brought
into court that the Identity Of the de-
fendant with the Sultan of Johore was
made known. AS soon as this was estab-
lished the case was thrown out of court on
the ground that British courts had no
jurisdiction over a foreign sovereign, no
matter whether he was living incognito
as private citizen or under his own name
and title, surrounded by royal pomp.
There was a scandal about the matter,
and the British government intimated to
the sultan that it would be well for him
to return to his dominions, which he was
about to do when he died.
