REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT IN
THE REPUBLIC REPORTED TO
EB INCREASING
WAR SHIP OFF FOR THE SCENE
EERMUDEZ ASPHALT COMPANY'S
PROPERTY IN DANGER OF
SEIZURE
UNCLE SAM ACTS PROMPTLY
L. s. $. Scorpion Ordered Up the ORR
nOcO River to GunnacO to Pro-
tect American Interests
Mt All Hazards.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-At the request
Of the state department, the navy de-
partment has instructed the commander
of the Scorpion TO proceed at once from
La Guayra to Guanaco, Venezuela, to
protect American interests upon reports
that the revolutionary movement there
is increasing and the attempt is being
made to take possession of the arms of
the New York and Bermudez company.
The news came to the state depaItmen
from a private, but perfectly reliable
source and was made the basis of I'M
mediate representations to the navy
department Secretary Long responded
very promptly to the request of the state
department and within a few minutes
after its receipt, Capt. Cowles, who is
acting as chief of the navigation bureau
during the illness of Admiral Crown
inshield, was in conference with Acting
Secretary Hill at the state department.,
respecting the movement of the naval
vessel and the character of the instruc-
tions to be sent TO Lieutenant Comman-
der Sargent Of the Scorpion, which hap
pens to be the only vessel available for
immediate service and adjacent to the
scene of trouble Respecting these in
structions nothing could be learned at
the state department beyond the state
ment that Commander Sargent had been
instructed to avoid blood shed and the
destruction OF property if possible.
PREPARED TO USE FORCE.
Still, taken in connection with what
has gone before, there is little doubt
If the disturbing forces in Venezuela,
whether governmental or revolutionary
are seeking to dispOssess the incumbents
in the asphalt concession in defiance of
the tacit agreement that there should be
thorough judicial inquiry, the United
States warship will prevent that action,
peaceably If possible, fOrcible if neces-
sary. Guanaco is not to be found on
the ordinary charts, but is said to be
the nearest point to the asphalt conces-
sions accessible to the Scorpion, lying
up the Orinoco river about two days
run from La Guayra so that the warship
should be at the seat Of the trouble
before the end of the present week.
The state department also is in re-
cetpt Of private but trustworthy advices
to the effect that the Orinoco Shipping
Trading company, two of whose YES
sells were seized yesterday by the Ven
ezuclan government, is an English cor
poration. The vessels are under British
registry but fly the Venezuelan flag
Under these circumstances the state de-
partment has found itself unable to in
tervene directly 10 compel restitution
but in view of the fact that American
capital is invested in the, company it
has directed Minister aLoom!s to use his
good offices as far as possible to pro-
tect these American interests.

BOSSCHIETER CASE
NEARING ITS End
TESTIMONY Is ALL IN, DEFENSE
HAVING ENTERED A GEN
ERAL DENIAL.

PATERSON, N. J., Jan. 16.-CounseI
for the defense in the Jennie Bosschieter
murder trial today practically closed
their case. William A. Death, Walter l..
McAIister and Andrew Campbell, the
three men on trial for the murder, went
on the stand in their own behalf and
told their versions of the events of the
night Jennie Bosschieter met her death
while in their company. They told the
same story practically, and their testi-
mony varied but little as to details The
plea set up by counsel for the three de-
PENDANTS was general and specific de-
NAL of all the accusations made against
the men. He opened with an attack on
the moral character of the dead girl, and
claimed that the prisoners We're IN no
way responsible for the death of Jennie
Bosschieter. He claimed that she had
not been drugged, and he denied that she
had been ill-treated and assaulted
McAllister, Death and Campbell were
each on the stand. Their testimony was
on the line that they were acting on a
generous impulse when they took the
girl out of the saloon to the hack. They
claimed that she was 'jolly drunk for
a time in the back room of SaaTs sa-

WEST POINT CADETS
SCORED FOR HAZING
CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATIONS
TELL THEIR OPINIONS IN VERY
PLAIN LANGUAGE.

WEST POINT, N Y, Jan. 16.-The
congressional committee put in a good
days work at the West Point academy.
While they relaxed for a few hours in
the afternoon to witness a drill of the
trst-class cadets in the riding school
they got down to the bottom of the haz-
ing practiced at the academy during the
last four years, and while at least a
dozen other witnesses have yet to be ex-
amined in this connection, the committee
has laid out the work for finishing the
inquiry before the end of the week
Three witnesses were examined during
the day. They were Cadets Mahaffy.
Dockery and Pegram. All three were
thoroughly examined by Congressman
Wanger, briggs, Smith and Clayton. Not
point was missed by these gentlemen,
but what the witnesses received at the
hands of these investigators was as moth
ing to their experience in the hands of
the chairman, Gen. Dick, of Ohio
The general questioned them in his
quiet, Suave manner and led them on by
easy stages to the point he desired. Then
like a bolt from a clear sky he let loose
his torrents of scathing sarcasm, every
word of which cut deeply and made each
of the witnesses vince All three OF
them left the stand in a breathless con-
clifton and in worse state of mind and
body than if they had just been COM
PEELED to go through the entire curricu-
!um of hazing, which, according to the
evidence, adduced at this investigation
consists of a half hundred different
forms
Cadet Albert B. Dockery, of Missouri,
acknowledged that he had exercised d
young Macarthur.
You are satisfied you hazed Mr. Mac
Arthur and that he was sick, in fact, had
convulsions after it?" said Mr.. briggs.
Yes, SIR
did you think it was cruel?" --
Yes, SIR
'WelI, young man, for your informa-
ton will tell you that think it was
atrocious, base, detestable, disgraceful.
dishonorable, disreputable heinous, ig-
nominious, ill-famed, nefarous, odious,
outrageous, scandalous, shameful, shame
less, villainOus and wicked" said Mr..
briggs, and the torrent of adjectives al
most took away Dockery's breath.

loon; said she was joking and laughing
after the first drink; that she became
dopey after taking the absinthe, and
then become dead drunk They had
thought a drive in the fresh air would
do her good, and had taken her across
s. the river out into the country. The as
sault was denied. They had lifted the
girl out of the hack because she was
sick, and they had conducted them
selves like humanitarians in their efforts
to bring her back to her senses. They
had taken her to the brook to obtain wa
ter. They would have taken her home
after she was dead, but when they reach
ed the neighborhood they saw persons
about. "..'.
They were frightened at "the dead
giri," and did not want to get mixed
up in the scandal. ..
The state, which was beaten yester-
day in the effort to introduce the con-
fession said to have been made by
Campbell, succeeded in getting it all in
in even more detailed a manner than
would have been possible yesterday.
Tomorrow the summing up will occur.
and probably the case will be left with
the jury about sundown, although it
may be that Judge Dixon will defer the
charge to jury until Friday.
