Conflicting accounts are received concerning
the progress of hostilities in
Venezuela.
On the 7th April the Government
troops it is said, repulsed 5,000 of the
insurgents at Nicaragua, but on the
following date the opposing forces re-
engaged, and the rebels claim to have
won a victory.
It is reported that on the 14th April
the Government troops were again defeated
with very heavy loss, and the
position of the President, Senor R. A.
Palacio, is alleged to be critical.
Zamora, one of the Venezuelan States,
has, it is stated, declared its independence.
