from Ciudad Bolivar, aaya the city was
captured by the government troops at
8.65 this morning (Tuesdsy).
Bince the last dispatch waa aent to
the Associated Press at 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, the battle between
the revolutionary forces at Ciudad
Bolivar and the Venezuelan govern
ment army commanded by General
Gomez, haa raged madly. Block after
block was disputed, the government
troopa entering the city slowly. The
city appears to have been struck by a
cyclone.
At S o'clock in the morning when
the inhabitants of the commercial and
foreign parte of the city, near the Ala
meda, aaw the advance of the govern
ment troops, they abandoned their
homes and sought refuge in other
parte of the city, crossing the streets
amidst a hail of bullets and shells.
Many men In trying to protect the
women fell atruck by bulleta in the
middle of the streets. The government
troops, however, acted with humanity.
especially the forces of General Rivas.
who fighting bravely, was the first to
order attacking force to be merciful.
The government troops soon after
captured the north side of the Ala
meda, the public park of Ciudad Bol
ivar, wmcn nas been defended by a
double row of barricades. Behind one
of these were found more than thirty
dead soldiers lying on top of each
other, while wounded men were seen
on all sides.
The soldiers on both sides have had
no food for two days, no ambulancea
are being use J and the fighting still
continues.
The Dalton block, the property of
the United Statea consul, where all
the leading German and French firms
reside, is now being attacked.
The jail is the centre of a terrible
resistance. All the defeated revolu
tionists have concentrated there. It
is estimated that more than 200 men
hare been killed In that vicinity. The
capital is still in the hands of the rev
olutionists, but tne complete success
of the government forces is assured.

Br Cable to Um Morning star.
Rome, July 2L According to
statement coming from a high eccle
siastic arrangements at the Vatican
are being pressed forward which will
enable the conclave of cardinals to
begin aitting August 1st However.
it is now thought the sessions may
last considerably longer than at first
expected, even long enough to permit
Cardinal Moran. of Sydney. New
South Wales, to arrive In time to take
part In the proceedings.
An ambassador accredited to the Va!
tiean says the question of Pope Leo's
successor is a peculiarly open one at
the present moment. The personality
of the candidates plays a much more
mportant part than in any precedinr
conclave, Bince the condltlona prevail-
ng in tbe past are now entirely chang
ed, as a result of which the approach-
nsr conclave win oe mucb more under
the Influence of individual candidates
than In the past, rendering it impossi
ble to forecast tbe election with any
degree of certainty. It is considered
highly probable that the new Pope
will be a man at ore sent not thought
of and not talked about.

By Cable to the Morning Btar.
Rome, July 21. The; body of Leo
Xin lies to-night in the hall of the
throne room, a few steps from the
room ia which his deaih took 'place.
The same vestmentr, the comaro hood,
the rochet and the white : gown which
were put on yesterday cover the form
which rests in semi-state aurrounded
by the lighted candles, the Noble
Guard and . Franciscan penitentiariea.
To morrow morning the diplomatic
body, the high dignitaries and the Ro
man aristocracy will enter the hall to
pay their tributes of respectto all that re
mains of the Pope who won the respect
and affection of the world. ' In the af
ternoon the body will be arrayed in
all the glory of the Pontifical robes,
the mitre replacing the hood, and at
sunset It will be taken into the chapel
of the aacrament of St. Peter's, where
for three days, commening Thursday,
the public will be given an opportu
nity of paying a last farewell. The
Interment will occur Saturday even
ing. !!
To-day waa notable for the Impres
sive ceremonial of the recognition of
the death of the Pope, which occurred
In the morning in the i chamber in
which he died. Thereafter, only those
were admitted who were concerned In
the embalming of the body, an opera
tlon which occupied aix hours. Mean
while, the authorities of the Vatican
proceeded with the preparations for
the funeral and the conclave, and the
acknowledgements of the condolences
which had been received.: Among the
latter was a notable message from the
German Emperor.
Throughout the day the Vatican waa
aurrounded by crowda which increased
towards night. Several thousand en
tered St. Peter's at vespers and
joined in prayers for : the depart
ed. Among tbese were many Ital
ian officers whose troops shortly after
sunset were marched from the Vatican
back to the barracks. At no time had
their services been needed. It is not
the custom in Italy to wear the con
ventional emblems of mourning, and
hence the crowd which inconsequence
of the closing of many places of busi
ness wanders the streets to-night, haa
more the appearance of an aimless holi
day making throng than one Borrow
ing for the death of the Pope.
Into all the churches, however, hun
dreds not often seen in places of devo
tion, flocked to vespers to say a hur
ried prayer. Afterwards they loitered
outside, reading the deep black-edged
proclamations or Cardinal Hespigbi,
the vicar of Rome, concerning tbe
funeral arrangements, the meeting of
the conclave and the church ceremo-
moniala. i l
The quiet of the evening was broken
by a chorus such as the world haa sel
dom heard. On the stroke of 8 all of
Home's four hundred churches com
menced to toll bells for the passing of
the soul k)f Leo XIIL From the hills
and from every quarter of the city
which contained churches, came the
constant clang until all was one vast
reverberation. The harsh jingle of
the smaller chapel bills striking quick
ly and more often was not drowned by
the solemn strokes that came in
mourning measure from the great
dome of St. Peter's, i It was ss
if a great fire raged and every bell
in Borne were vielng with every other
in anxiety toward the populace. Ex
cept in its common motive and com
mon sorrow It was an amazing discord,
wbicn continued an nour and which
will recur nightly until the obsequies
are over. ;
Uiiqne Ceremonies.
This morning began the first of those
grandiose and unique ceremonies
which follow the demise of a Pope,
and although private It was conducted
with great pomp and ; was most im
pressive. All the cardinals present in
Rome, numbering twenty-nine, as
sembled at the apostolic palace to view
the remains of the late Leo XIII and
to officially pronounce him dead.
within tbe death chamber tbe bodv
lay with a white veil over the face, on
the bed aurrounded by Franciscan
penitentiaries, while f outside the
Noble Guard maintained a solemn,
viglL The profound silence waa only
broken by the chanting of prayera for
the dead. Into this solemn presence
came tbe mourning procession of car
dinals, who kneeling silently prayed.
The white veil waa removed from
the - dead man 'a face, i revealing the
cameo like features of the departed
Pope, rendered sharper and more
transparent by death. So life-like was
the body that those present half ex
pected Leo to raise his hand in the fa
miliar gesture of blessing.
A moment of breathless silence en
sued and then the cardinal camerlen-
go, taking tbe asperslum, sprinkled
the late Pontiff with holy water and
said In a firm voice:! "Gloacchlno"
(the Christian name Of the deceased
hoiy father).
When there was no answer the same
word was repeated three times, louder
and louder. After which turning to
the kneeling cardinals the camerlengo
solemnly announced:
"Jfapa vert monuus est." (The
Pope ia really dead.) f
Following tbe ceremony of
the recognition of the death
of the Pope by the sacred college came
another, shorter but no leas signifi
cant and symbolic. On Leo's finger
waa the famous fisherman's ring,
which the camerlengo, with a whisper
ed prayer, drew gently off and which,
later, will.be broken in the pres
ence of the cardinals, reset and pre
sented to the new Pope when he is
elected. -;

its immediate merger, thus rounding
out the consolidation of the entire sys
tem, embracing at present about 2,611

The Atlanta and Birmingham di
vision of the Seaboard is approaching
completion and with the several branch
lines under construction will increase
the mileage to about 6,000.
