anG the presence of the Marietta was
not requested by Mr.. Bowen.
The situation in Caracas continues
to be criticaI and there is intense ex
element among the German residents
of the city.
The Germans have sought refuge al
the American legation, where they
were sheltered. Minister Bowen has
gotten in quantities OF all kinds OF
provisions to be used for any emer.
gency. The enlistment of Venezuelan
soldiers continues. Two thousand men
from Caracas and Valencia came into

against their respective ministers,
whom they accuse of leaving Caracas
without giving any intimation of their
intention to abandon the city. The note

government through Minister Bowen

ed that the government at Washington
remains silent in spite of the recent
acts of the allied fleet
The fact that the people of Vene-
zuela are in absolute ignorance of the
designs of the allies upon their coun
try creates deep and disturbing i'm
preston here. The chief officer OF
President Castro's guard said today
to the representative of the Associated
Press:
IF there is to be war, let us know
and we will fight. If there Is to be
only an assault on our coast, where we
can not reach the allies, the only thing
left for us to do is to declare that to
destroy your debtors furniture is g
strange way to force the payment of
his obligations. l believe this situa
ton will soon come within the scope |
Of the Monroe doctrine"
Caracas-A note from the COM
manders at La Guayra was sent by
United States Minister Bowen at Car
acas and forwarded by him to the gov
eminent officials here. The note, which

Germany, requests all VSnezuelsc-a
ships after the lapse of five. days to
refrain from visiting the port of La
Guayra until the present difficulties
are over.

consciousness practically to the end.
Word has come from Jesse and U. S.

way to Washington. The other son.
General Fred Grant, is in Texas, and
he will hasten here as soon as he re-

Grant will be deposited in the tomb

VENEZUELA FORT ATTACKED BY
COMBINED FORCES.
British and German Cruisers Worked
for as Minutes, Then All Was ST.
Ience-Fort Commander Taken Pris-
oner-Fort olished-Great Ex.
citement Prevails Everywhere.

Puerto Cabello-The British cruiser
ChaIybdis and the German cruiser
Vineta bombarded the fortress here at
6 o'clock in the afternoon and quickly
silenced it. The bombardment lasted
as minutes. The fortress is composed
OF Fort Solano and the Castle Liber-
tabor. After the firing ceased the
Charybdis sent marines to occupy the
castle. The fortress was almost de-
mtlished. 1t is probable that only a
few persons we're injured by the she'll
ing. The commander of the Castle
L .Dertador has been taken prisoner.
The cruisers are still here.
The Charybdis and the Vineta are
searching for Venezuelan gunboats.
The two cruisers sent their boats into
the inner port, but finding no gunboats,
the boats returned.
The captain of the British merchant
man Topaz, which was seized by the
mob last Wednesday, then visited the
British commodore on board the
Charybdis and lodged a protest
against the violation of his ship. The
captain returned an hour later with
a detachment of so marines, who took
charge of the Topaz. The populace
was greatly excited at this incident
and raised the cry, ITO arms" but
there was no disorder.
The British commodore then sent a
message to the authorities at Puerto
Cabello demanding immediate salts
faction for the action of the mob in
having hauled down the British flag
from the custom house, saying If this
satisfaction was not forthcoming in
two hours, at o'clock the fortress and
the custom house would be bombarded.
On receipt of this demand, the au-
thorities sent message to President
Castro asking for instructions.
A committee of the merchants OF
Puerto Cabello then approached the
American consul. petitioning him to
intervene The consul accepted this
mission and visited the cruisers, but
he could obtain no alteration in the
decision Of the allies.

that a band OF Hiuako Indians mas
taken the wTpath in the region be-
tween the Little Salmon and Pelly rlV-

the police detachment at Tantalus,
near the Ylkon crossing, for protec-

Major Clthbert has been fully ap-
prised of tie reports by wire. He has
issued an order mobilizing the men at
his command, and in case conhrma-
ton of the news of the outbreak is re-
ceived, he will leave here for Selkirk
Immediately with 80 men.
1t is stated that from 200 to ESQ In
dams are in the hostile party, headed
by two we'll known chiefs. At last &C
counts they were holding a war dance
and working themselves into MUIR
derous frenzy.
Trouble with the Indians in the re-
gion between the Little Salmon and
the Pelly has been expected for long
time. Many of them are known to be
OF treacherous, revengeful nature. A
motive for the outbreak is furnished
by the hanging Of three Of their mum
Der in 1899 for the murder Of pros
pector on the Little Salmon. The exc
cution took place in Dawson at the
local barracks.
While Major Cuthbert is rather reti

Satisfaction Was Delayed.

AT o'clock message was received
from President Castro, who authorized
officials here to give the British com
mander ample satisfaction. Before this
answer could be communicated to the
American consul the hour stipulated
for the reply arrived. The cruisers
Immediately opened fire on the fort
ress. The fire was returned from Fort
Solano and Castle Libertador, but the
Venezuelan guns were soon silenced.
While the firing continued there was
intense excitement in this port. Every
house in town was closed.
The people of Puerto Cabello can
not account for this precipitate action
on the part of the allies, which they
consider to be proof that Great Britain
and Germany intend forcing war upon
Venezuela. The British marines pro-
pose to make use of the cannon in
Castle Libertador. No damage was
done to the town. The excitement OF
the citizens is subsiding.
The entrance to the inside harbor

dred feet wide. To the left of this
channel, as one enters the harbor,
situated on a low sand spit is the
fortress which was bombarded by Ger
man and British cruisers. 1t is an old
fashioned structure which was rebuilt
in the 18th century. Its sides are com
paratiyely low and would offer but
poor resistance to modern shells. 1t
Is not probable that the Venezuela
government had any cannon there.
The custom house at Puerto Cabello
is situated on the west or mainland
side OF the channel. 1t is a long, two
story brick building and contains, be-
sides executive offices, large ware
houses. Steamers discharging al
