HAS LOYEFOR GERMANY
ROOSEVELT HOLDS THE EMPIRE IN HIGH REGARD.
Ambassador White Says Possibility of War Between the Kaiser's Country and America is
 Far Remote.

Berlin, Dec. 30.-The German Foreign Ohice authorizes the Associated Press to announce there is no truth whatever in the dispatch from Caracas saying that the German Minister has left the Vene- zuela capital after a heated exchange of words with President Castro. The Ger man Charge d-Affaires Herr von Pilgrim Baltazzi, is still at his post. and is con- tinuing negotiations with President Cas- tro. There has not been any question of breaking off diplomatic relations with Venezuela.
 The German Minister to Venezuela, Dr. O. Schmidt-Leda, who has been on a va- cation here. is now on his way to Cara cas. The Foreign once again solemnly reiterates the statement that 1t does not contemplate territorial acquisitions in Venezuela. Replying to Germany's as- surances to the United States regarding the formers plans in connection with Venezuela, the Foreign office here has received an answer from Secretary Hay, expressing full satisfaction with Ger many's position. Germany still hopes to collect her claims peaceably.
 The Tageblatt this evening prints a double-leaded cable dispatch from Wash ington setting forth that the principal military and naval authorities there con- slider that war between the United States and Germany, sooner or later. is inevi- table.
 The United States Ambassador, Andrew D. White, informed the German newspa- per men who called at the embassy to- day that the reports of the possibility of war between the United States and Ger many were the "thinnest kind of sensa- tional nonsense" Not one of the authori- ties referred to in The Tageblatt's dis patch, he added, would, under any cir cumstances, disclose such an opinion, least of all when the relations between the two countries are so good as at pres ent.
 Moreover" said MT. White. President Roosevelt, the command-in-chief of both the army and the navy. 1t is we'll known. entertains not only official but personal predictions for Germany. which have been known not only officially to the German Government, but which have long been known among his friends. He studied in Germany, reads and loves German literature, and has a most sim cere personal respect for the German Elm peror.
 Any utterance of the kind alleged by an officer of either service would be sternly rebuked by President Roosevelt" !"

HAD TOUGH TIME.
Twin City Guards arc Relieved from
 Duty.

Phenix City, Dec. S0.-(Special.)-The Twin City Guards, fifty strong, and com- manded by Lieutenant F. P. Coulter, re- turned here this morning from Crawford, and upon an order from Governor Jeiks, the men were relieved from further duty.
 The soldiers had a rough experience in going to Crawford. which is fifteen miles from here. Rain was descending in tor rents and the creeks were swollen. Travel was almost impossible. and one soldier came near losing his life by falling into a swollen creek. The soldiers reached Crawford about 1 o'clock Sunday morn- ing and remained there throughout the day, being constantly on duty.
 While the soldiers were nearing the town of Crawford early Sunday morning, they discovered the residence of Mrs. Belcher on fire. They heard cries of help" and the soldiers rushed into the residence and the fire was extinguished by hard work Mrs. Belcher was awak- ened by the cracking of the flames. She does not know how the fire originated.
 The killing of Joseph Fincher occurred at the residence of Mrs. Belcher, and she is the widow whom Porter abused. It Is said that he has since threatened her life. Had it not been for the assistance of the soldiers, the house would certainly have been destroyed by fire.

The storv from Scale.

Scale. Dec. 3O.-(CpeciaI) aI)-Sheriff Bel fanny received a telegram this morning from Sheriff Hodge of Lee County stat ing that he arrested Uriah Porter of Crawford at Opellka this morning and has him safe behind the bars of the Lee County jail.
 The message was sent from here to Sheriff Bellamy at Crawford and he re- turned to Scale at once with his posse. They say that Porter was within a few miles of Crawford last night and upon hearing that the sheriff was close upon him, Porter went towards Opelika. The supposition Is that Porter's relatives per- Huaded him to surrender to the Lee Coun- ty authorities.
 The people of Crawford have been in a state of greatest excitement since the tragedy last Wednesday night and the news of Porter's incarceration will no doubt be great relief to them.
 Sheriff Bellamy will go to opelika to- morrow to bring Porter to Scale.
 Jelks Discharges Militia.
 Governor Jelks yesterday morning re- ceiyed telegrams from Sheriff Bellamy and Probate Judge Benton of Russell County, advising him that Uriah Porter was in the Lee County jail at Opehka, and thanking him for promptly ordering out the military company at Phenix City to assist in the capture of Porter
 The Governor immediately telegraphed Lieutenant Coulter of the Phenix City military company relieving his command of further duty.
 In an interview, Governor Jelks express ed his qualification at the prompt obe- dience to orders of the Phenix City com pany. He said that the commanding of ficer readily responded to the order, and the fact that he took almost the entire strength of his company to Crawford on fl wild night and over a rough road through the hardest kind of weather. showed that the men were excellent sol- 1Iers. and that they were deserving of the highest praise.
