C 9 GASTRO'S FORCES ENTRAP MATOS Battle Will Decide the Fate of Venezuelan Revolution. | Rebel Chief's Army Is Sur-| rounded by Federal Troops. CARACAS, May 5.—It is believed here in some circles that General Matos, the leader of the revolution, has fallen into a trap. His object in landing again on| Venezuelan soil was to re-establish har- | mony among the chiefs of the revolution, who are fighting among themselves. G eral Matos on May 1 reached Barquisi- meto, where a revolutionary army of X 000 men is concentrated under Generals | | The Government at first was inclined to disbelieve the news that General Matos | had returned to Venezuela; but, after this | was confirmed, it concentrated its forc | which are now encircling the rebels Vice | President Gomez is marching on Barquisi- meto, via Tucacacas and Duaca, with 2000 ! men; General Linares is approaching the rebels via San Fellpe and Yaritatua with | 1400 men; General Gonzales Pachecho is | approaching via Guidor with 130 men | and 90 Andino troops are coming via Carache. Within eight days Barquisimeto, which is strongly entrenched, will be attacked simultaneously by all the Government forces. It is believed that the approach- ing battle will be sanguinary and prob- ably the last of the Matos revolution if the revolutionists are defeated. The opinion is held by certain high Gov- ernment officials that if General Matos is captured his life will be in danger. It is reported that Bernard Blanco, a son of General Blanco, is with General Matos. i | | | AUCTION HAMMER FALLS ON HIBERNIA BANK LOTS Many’ Holdings Are Disposed Of on Second Day of Sale at Vary- ing Prices.

The Under Secretary of State added that if Great Britain proposed to take a definite step in the direction indicated Italy would consider it to be inopportane on the ground that while the other pow- ers had recently been increasing the strength of their navies Italy had reduced her fleet, and a of Ttaly's pos! se of distant pos- ssions and in view e great number of Italians in foreign countries. oL ] 5 POISONED Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1113 Broadway, May 5 Miss B.
