Venezuelan Revolt Grave.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 1, 1913:
Risings in Several States — Troops Rebel — Castro Has a Steamer.
    WILLEMSTAD, July 31.— Reports received here from revolutionary sources in Venezuela are to the effect that the uprising in that republic started simultaneously last Monday in several States, and that Gen. Cipriano Castro, ex-President of Venezuela, is the leader of the movement.
    The advices say that Gen. Leon Jurado, Governor of the State of Falcon, who previously was reported to have been captured, escaped when the rebels attacked Coro and fled to the interior of the country, but that the military authorities in Coro were arrested and imprisoned.
    From the State of Falcon, according to the reports received here, it is the purpose of the revolutionists to invade the State of Lara, which adjoins Falcon on the south, and Gen. Navas will, it is expected, operate in the State of Zulla, in the northeastern part of the republic adjoining Colombia. Maracaibo, the principal seaport of Venezuela, is the capital of Zulla.
    Gen. Carmelo Castro, a brother of Gen. Cipriano Castro, is in command of the rebel troops in the State of Tachira, which lies just south of Zulla.
    It is stated that prior to the outbreak of the revolt the revolutionists seized the cable and telegraph lines, but the Central Government ignored this fact for several days.
    Confirmation of reports of a mutiny of the garrison of Coro, the capital of the State of Falcon, Venezuela, was received here to-day.
    The rebels are in command of the place and are exercising the functions of Government. Dispatches telegraphed to Coro from this city remain unanswered.
    All indications point to the move having been made by adherents of ex-President Castro, who is said to be in possession of a steamer now in these waters, but which has not yet been reported or seen.
    A number of letters addressed to Castro lie at the general delivery office here.
