Revolutlonaru Forces Will Meet President Gastro In a De cisive Battle. THE CITY OP GUMANA WILL BE STORMED Barcelona Cable Is Again Cut The Cincinnati Already On the Scene. Bevolutionlsts Beceive Large Ship ments of Mauser Bifles and Am munition Plots Against President Castro's Life. Dy Kxelushe Wire from The Associated Press. San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug. 13. News has renched here by the steamer Cara cas that the Venezuelan revolutionary forces under General Matos and tho government troops under President Castro are expected soon to meet on the plains outside of Caracas In a de cisive battle. The Venezuelan revolu tionists are said to have received a large shipment of Mauser rifles and ammunition and some cannon from Germany. Plots against the life of President Castro are said to have been discovered. Port of Spain, Aug. 13. The Venezue lan revolutionists are attacking Cumana and intend to storm the city within 24 hours.

Over night the navy department received word that the Cincinnati had sailed yesterday from Puerto Cabello for Barcelona under the Instruction cabled yesterday to Commander McLean. Commander McLean decided to go himself and leave the Topeka to protect American in terests at Puerto Cabello. It Is prob able that the Cincinnati already has ar rived at Barcelona, but that fact may not be known ofliclally here for several days. Minister Bowen cabled the state de partment from Caracas today that thq Ouble from Caracas to Carcelona haa again been cut by the revolutionists. On Monday he reported thot this cable had been cut, but presumably It had been repaired In the Interim. Neither the state or navy department has received" confirmation of the press despatches from Port-of-Spaln, which were conveyed there from Barcelona by boat, of the extent of the fighting at Barcelona und of the report that the American, Itallnn nnd Dutch consulates had been pillaged. The officers of tho navy department are confident thnt Commander McLean with the Cincin nati will be able to take care of Ameri can Interests. Owing to the generally disturbed con dition of affairs all along tho line of the Venezuelan coast and the appeals of Minister Bowen for warships the question whether our naval force In those waters Is sufficient to take care of the existing situation and to meet future contingencies has been can vassed. For the present, It has been decided, It Is necessary to send an ad ditional vessel. We now have three warships at the critical points, the Cin cinnati at Barcelona, the Topeka at Puerto Cabello, where the Germans al ready have landed a force, and tho Marietta at the mouth of the Orinoco, which has been declared blockaded by tlie Castro government. The question of nffordlr . an asylum to President Castro aboard an American warship, in case he should be obliged to flee fiom the country, and should hava no other means of escape, has not been seriously considered by the state de partment, us It Is not believed that his condition at present is desperate enough to make such a move Imperative. Be sides, It Is reported through the press despatches that he has a vessel at La Guayra upon which he can embark for France It the necessity should arise. SEIZED BY JAPAN.
