quence , to bombard the town. "
Caracas , Dec. 31. President Castro
arrived bore yesterday. United States
Minister Bowen called on the presi
dent and communicated to him the
recommendation that Issues between
Venezuela and the allies be taken to
the laternational peace court at The
Hague. Venezuela's answer will be
received today at 11 o'clock.
The victory gained by the govern
ment at Barqulfilmeto argues for Presi
dent Castro's continuance In power.
The towns of San Carlos and Tina-
qulllo have also been occupied by the
government. The revolutionists at
Barqulslmito wer under the com
mand of Generals Solagnle and Pena-
loza. They evacuated the town after
losing 112 men killed and 325 wound
ed. There was hard fighting in the
streets and suburbs of Barqulslmeto
for two days. The government forces
were commanded by General Castillo.
It now transpires that President Cas
tro's visit to La Victoria was not of a
social nature , as reported here , bul
for the purpose of conducting person
ally by telegraph the operations of his
forces at Barqulslmeto. This victory
for the government appears to ho n
direct result of the president's Initia
tive. It has been a most severe blow
for the revolutionists.

derstood to be the hope nnd expecta
tion of the president and his advisers
that upon the receipt of President Cas
tro's reply to the arbitration proposi
tion the allies will agree to raise the
blockade established by them over
Venezuelan ports. Such action. In the
view of this government , would place
the question in controversy In excel
lent shape for arbitration.
Affairs relating to the land offlco
were also discussed.
