CARACAS IN REVOLT. Venezuelans Rise In Big DemonstraI , "* tion Against Castro. ^ Caracas. Monday, Dec. 14. via Willemstadt, Cuiacao, Dec. 16.?The people of Caracas arose today against President Castro. An infuriated mob, unhindered by the police, swept through the city, wrecking the property of his henchmen and closest friends. The people rounded up all the statues ? and pictures of President Castro from the clubs and other semi-public buildings and burned them with rejoicing on the Plaza Bolivar. Castro's rule in Venezuela is probably ended. ^ In spite of Holland's warlike activity on the coast there have been no demonstrations against the Netherlands. They have all been directed against Castro and Acting President Gomez. Further dangerous demonstrations are anticipated. No official act deposing Castro has yet been taken, but such a step is expected any moment. An enormous crowd of inhabitants of the capital, swelled by people from the outlying country, gathered in the streets soon after daybreak. The people began by marching up and down the main thoroughfares, and it was K easy to see that their ill-temper would B soon result in violence. The police ^ stood by and made no attempt whatI ever to restrain the mob. L The first building to be attacked nmi inured was that of the lottery mo nopoiy. The offices of the state enterprise that has enriched itself at the expense of the people were ransacked and pillaged. Furniture was broken and thrown into the streets and thousands of lottery tickets were destroyed. The crowd then ntoved to the printing office Qf El Constitucional. the organ of Castro, on which Gumersindo llivas is editor, and pillaged it completely. A steam laundry belonging to Senor Rlvas also was wrecked, f The crowd then turned its attention ' to several drug stores belonging to Senor Thielen, a son-in-law of Gen. Tello Mendoza. and turned them inside out. Gen. Mendoza was at one time 0 minister of finance and public credit ? under Castro. He was also the pres4 ident's private secretary for several years, and has been regarded as one of his staunchest supporters. He is universally hated by the enemies of Castro and his unpopularity and his close connection with the president accounted for the anger of the populace against the property of his son-in-law. The statues and pictures of President Castro were made into a huge bonfire foil the Plaza Bolivar. The crowd cheered as the flames completed the destruction of these effigies of the dictator. ft Numerous inscriptions setting forth the virtue of Castro and extolling his A powers next attracted the retaliation of V the mob and every inscription bearing Castro's name was hacked out and erased. Some of these legends were carved on public buildings of the city. It was after I o'clock before the crowd had got thus far in its depredations. It lacked leadership and paused in default of other fields for its destructive energies. It was then that a detachment of troops was called out for duty on the city streets, and' Act' ing President Gomez issued a manifesto prohibiting further demonstrations. g Those measures had the desired effect P for the mob quieted down and then dispersed. The attack yesterday on the offices of El Constitucional, when the crowd was 9 curbed by a detachment of soldiers, . who fired into the demonstrants, re , suited in several fatalities. A criminal action has been begun against Editor Rivas and other employes of the paper in which they are charged with responsibility for these deaths. It is declared that Rivas and his men fired first on the people, making use of revolvers. El Constitucional has suspended publication and Caracas is practically without a newspaper. 4 The funeral of Marcano Rojas, one of the men killed In the fighting of W " yesterday, has been fixed for tomorrow. A vast crowd will turn out and further disorders and rioting are ex. pected. L AT THE CHURCHES. UAT'llOl. Rev. I. G. Murray, Pastor. Sunday Services?Sunday school at 10 a. m.
