AN CRISIS OVER. President Accepts Terms of Insurgent Commander and Goes Abroad. s, Venezuela, Oct. 20.—The crisis is virtually over. Gen. An- drade, the president, has accepted the conditions proposed by the insur- gent commander, Gen. Cipriano Cas- tro, and will go abroad, the presiden- cy devolving on the vice-president. General Castro will enter Caracus peacefully to-morrow, thus avoiding bloodshed and a dictatorship. The final conference between Gen. Castro and Senor Mato, the special envay of General Andrade was held yesterday. General Castro proposes that a popular convention should be assembled in twenty days for the election of a new president and the adoption of a new constitution, under which arrangement he would succeed to the presidency. The general feeling here is that a! way is open for the dignified with-! drawal of Gen. Andrade.
