CARCA8, Venezuela. Oct. HO.—(New
York Herald Special).—"El Moeho”
General Jose Manuel Hernandez,
started a revolution this morning
against General Castro, who ousted
President Andrade and assumed con
trol of the government last week.
General Hernandez, with an army
of 2,000 men left the capital for Ocu
man«, which he will make his first
headquarters. General Castro counts
upon the support of the liberal party.
There is much excitement in Caracas,
and the situation Is regarded as crit
ical.
General Jose Manuel Hernandez,
who Is known as "El Moeho,” the
maimed, because In one of his fights
he lost three of his fingers, has had
a checkered career In Venezuela. He
Is the son of a carpenter, and has
always been very popular with the
masses. General Hernandez began
his military career nearly thirty years
ago. Also Venezuelans prize him for
his bravery. During his campaign
against Guzman Illauco in the early
seventies, he established a record for
strategy and personal valor. He has
been wounded in battle eighteen
times, has been twenty times captured
by the enemy, and for several years
was an exile in Cuba. Herandez
was at one time a candidate for the
presidency in Venezuela. He has
been engaged in at least two revolu
tions. He lias sought to overturn the
government under Auduza, Rogaz
Paul, Agrespo and Andrade. General
Clprlano Castro, who is the present
dictator of Venezuela, was for many
years prominent in congress and long
familiar with governmental matters.
He ahowed considerable military skill
with his army of 15,000 men, which
lie pitted aguinst President Andrade.
At the head of his army he fought
and won a bloody battle near Tacuyo
on September 16. He seized the
towns of Vienna and Puerto Cabello.
and promptly established a new gov
ernment. Castro's revolution was
planned and organized in Colombia.
The better part of his army was com
posed of Colombian cowboys, mounted
on ponies and armed with rifles. Cas
tro crossed the frontier and marched
rapidly to the coast. He swept every
thing before him, and the ranks of
his army rapidly swelled. After tak
ing Valencia he sent an ultimatum to
Andrade, demanding that Caracas be
surendered within ten days. It was
accepted.
The United Stat.f. cruiser Detroit
was sent to Puerto Cabello to protect
American interests.
SHORT RATIONS, HARD ROADS.
Tliiit It Lot of Aimirlrirm Advancing on
CHlmnatUMii.
MANILA. Oct. 20.—General Young,
with the infantry, Is advancing upon
Cabanatuan under difficulties. The
country is furrowed with rivers and
deep ravines, the bridges over which
have been destroyed. The mud is deep,
rations are short and the transporta
tion of supplies has been delayed by
low water and the poor condition of
the roads. There are sufficient stores,
however, to keep the brigade. The in
surgents for a long time have lived
off the country, impoverishing it. The
American horses arc not yet accus
tomed to the native grass and a long
bullock train has left San Fernandlno,
carrying hay for the cavalry.
The Spaniards report that there are
no insurgents at Cabanatuan.
The gunboat laigua de Bay dispersed
a force of rebels who were engaged in
constructing trenches behind Santa
Rosa. The gunboat was fired on by a
party of insurgents bearing a white
flag. She is not grounded.
Hundreds of Chinese are going to
Angeles from Tarlae. paying the insur
gents for the privilege.
It is repotted that Aguinaldo and'the
Filipino congress are still at Tarlae.
There are about fiOO Insurgents be
fore Angeles. They have been quiet
for the last week. Two thousand
rebels are at Bumban, five miles to the
north.
General Bates has been recalled
from San Fernando und ordered to suit
for the southern islands as soon as
possible.

LEE ON CONDITIONS IN CUBA.
Former Consul General S*yn Feople Are
Improving.
WASHINGTON. Oct. r:0.—General
Fltzhugh Lee. who arrived in Wash
ington last night from New York, in
an interwicw today said that the peo
ple of Cuba are steadily improving un
der the existing protectorate of the
United States and are slowly, but sure
ly, rebuilding their war-wasted homes
and repairing their crippled fortunes.
Life and property are secure In Cuba,
owing largely, he sab!, to the salutary
restraint exercised by the American
military authority. Ho thinks the time
not yet ripe, however, for a purely Cu
! ban government.
"Cuba,” said General Lee, "is im
proving. Tho Cubans are tractable
and quiet and the revolution has given
liuni self-respect and self-reliance.
Their impulses are generally In the
i rigtit direction, but, of course, both
In the theory und practice of self-gov
ernment they i re wholly without expe
rience. There is among certain Cubans
a deep-seated prejudice against some
men, who the Cubans think, oppressed
Cubans under Spanish rule and if giv
en free rein the Cubans would make
I short w’ork of them.
"The United States government is
| pledged to grant independence to Cuba
I after the island has become neciiled
and I believe that promise should be
fulfilled Just as swiftly as we can in
i reason and Justice. The industrial sit
uation is improving and money is grad
ually going into Cuba, but nothing like
as fast as it would If Investors were
sure that property would remain sate
for years to come and be Drotected by
a government strong enough to enforce
law and order.”
TO DRAET NEW SPANISH TREATY.
NegotUllonii Will Noon lie* 0|>rn«*tl At
Mtt lrhl liy Mlntfttrr ilorrr,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—An under
standing has tieen reached by which it
is expected that negotiations will be
| opened soon at Madrid for a new
; treaty between the United States and
Spain. This will be the last step to
ward completely restoring the friend
ly relations between the countries.
The war with Spain swept the old
treaty out of existence and the only
international agreement In existence Is
the peace treaty, which is confinqd to
the events growing out of the war, has
no reference to commerce, navigation,
extradition and other manifold rela
tions between nations In times of
peace. The coming negotiations wlH
be for the purpose of forming such a
treaty of commerce, amity and friend
ship.
Both sides expect that the new
treaty will be a great improvement on
the old one, which was an antiquated
document dating back to 1795, with
many of the provisions devoted to the
boundary between Florida, then a pos
session of Spain, and the United
j States. Save for the Cushing proto
! col, it had been impossible to frame
a new’ treaty satisfactory to both sides,
and it remained for the war to dispose
of It and thus open the way for a mod
ern treaty.
SEOSSON-SHAEETER MATCH. *

NEW YORK. Oct. 29.—The big Slos

unfinished run of 116. The best match
j run ou record is 165.

splendid form against McLaughlin,

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—A special to
the Hprald from Washington says:
Prompt declaration by congress in
iavor of asserting and maintaining
complete sovereignty over the Philip
pines at whatever cost and in favor of
the most liberal kind of self-govern
ment when the insurrection ends is
what the president wants. It is also
wlmt the Philippine commissioners
want. There is a great deal yet for
the president to do on his message and
for the peace commissioners to do on
their report, hut this one important
conclusion is certain.
Your correspondent has excellent
authority for the statement that the
president intends to make specific rec
ommendations to congress in favor
of holding the Philippines permanent
ly and as to the form of civil gov
ernment to take the place of the mili
tary as soon as the Tagalos now in
rebellion surrender. It is authori
tatively stated that there will be no
half-way measures suggested for the
purpose of sidetracking the Philip
pine question until after the next
campaign. The president will face
the issue suqarely and give congress
the best information from his com
missioners and other sources to sup
port the position he has assumed.
Although members of the Philip
pine commission are not talking for
publication, there is no doubt they
will lay great stress in their report
upon the desirability of a prompt and
emphatic declaration, on the part of
congress, which will convince those
now In rebellion that all branches
of the government are united on the
question of permanent American con
trol in the Philippines. Such action,
in the opinion of Admiral Dewey and
Prof. Schurman, will be almost as
effective as guns In ending the war In
the Philippines.
It Is now only a question of the
specific kind of government the presi
dent will recommend. He will be gov
erned in his decision by the views
of the Philippine commissioners,
whose final decision will be the result
of the deliberations they are here for
now. The first meeting of the com
missioners will be held in the State
department tomorrow, but they will
probably not begin the actual prep
aration of their report before next
Monday.

ARMOR FOR WARSHIPS.
Government Factory Could Not Supply
the Maine, Ohio and Missouri.
WASHINGTON. D. C , Oct. 27.—The
Navy department has made public the
report of Rear Admiral O'Neil, chief
of ordnance. It shows a satisfactory
condition of affairs in all departments
save that of armor. The question of
a government armor factory, he says,
should have no hearing upon the sup
ply of armor for the Maine, Ohio and
Missouri, as It would be Impracticable
to obtain armor from such a source In
time to complete these vessels.
