Q . . Army Sent From Aseuncion Meets Defeat and Revo- lutionists Are Preparing to Make Attack on the Capital FACR RIS S Special Cable to The Call and New York Herald. Copyright, 1004, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. BUENOS AYRES, Argentina, Sept. 6.—Two thousand men were Killed and four thousand wounded in a battle lasting three days between the Uru- guayan Government forces and the revolutionists. General Vasquez. the Minister of War, who led the Govern- ment troops, was defeated and he has retreated, abandoning his arms and munitions. While General Vazquez recently re- ported to the Government that he had won an important victory over the rev- olutionists, it seems from later news received from the fleld that his own forces were routed. In the recent battle the revolutionists were driven back and General Vazauez. while pressing his victory, was sudden- ly met with stubborn resistance. The rebels reassembled their attered forces and engaged the Government troops. For three days the battle raged, with terrible losses on both sides. Gradually the rebels drove Vaz- quez back. According to the last re- ports the Minister of War was in full retreat. Reports from Paraguay state that the reyolutionists there are holding their own. President Wicurra has made proposals for a settlement, but the rebels insist upon his resignation. The Government troops sent from Ab- kcuncion have been defeated and the rev- olutionists are preparing to attack the city. —_— ee————— VOTING ON QUESTION OF ENDING THE STRIKE Referendum Balloting by Butchers’ Union May Restore Peace in Stockyards.
