HARBORS WERE MINED
Admiral Higginson Acknowledges
His Defeat
ATTACKING SQUADRON WINS


Mayaguez Porto Rico Dec. lf.-Ad-
miral Higginson arrived here and sent
letter to Admiral Summer under a
flag of truce. the Hist serving as u
messenger of announcing his presence
with four battleships and number
of cruisers. He further stated that il
the harbor was properly mined he
would concede the victory to Admiral
Summer and congratulate the later on
his success. Admiral Summer replied
that Mayaguez had been captured and
mined and thanked Admiral Higgins
son for his congratulations.
Admiral Higginson with his feet
proceeded to Culebra Island was fol-
lowed by Admiral Summer.
Yesterday afternoon Admiral Sum-
mer issued an order announcing the
successful termination of the problem
and conveying his congratulations to
his subordinates, The order said:
Among other things involved in the
solution. we have had long and try
ing steaminU period at high speed,
running without lights at night max
ing many exact courses and distances
in exact time, covering route of ov-
er l.50o miles III five days, running
large and heavy ships into a strange
harbor with high speed Mt just dawn,
and mining the channel with dispatch,
all of which was performed without
accident, and even without material
hitch or delay. y
In his official report, Capt. Turner,
commander of the cruiser Atlanta.
states he was chased by the enemvs'
scouts Monday night and attacked by
the Olympia. and torpedo boats, but
he believes that the Atlanta escaped.
The OLYMPIA. however. claims the
capture of the Atlanta. The result of
the game is not affected, whatever
may be the fate of the Atlanta, in
view of the fault of Admiral Higginson
to appear with superior force before
Mayaguez as mined by Admiral Sum-
mer's squadron.

New Issues TO Be Ready for Delivery
Within n Few Months.

The Post Office Department is pre-
pairing new issue of stamped envel-
opes that may be ready for delivery
of the various post offices within the
next two or three months. There
will be decidedEcha in the pres
ent form of the envelope. The size
and shape will not be altered, but it
is decided to give the stamps a more
distinctive shape and appearance. Fonr
styles are to be made, to sell for one,
two. four and five cents. At present
the stamp on the stamped envelope is
elliptical in shape and sets on end.
1t is intended to make one of the new
stamps rectangular. TO set on end, an
other will be round. still another will
be elliptical. set sidewise and the other
will probably be square. The full de-
tails have not yet been decided on. nor
have the designs for the stamps been
submitted. 1t is determined, however
to have each ofithelnew envelopes dis
tinct in appearance from the other, so
that there will be no confusion among
the different STYLES and shapes.

Calm, Peaceful Shepherdstown Re-
SentS Intrusion of B, & O,
OLDEST TOWN IN THE STATE
Cares Not for the Activities of City-Looks
to Change With Far From Cheerful
Feelings.

Parkersburg. Dec. 10. Hon Harry
/. Snyder, of Shepherdstown was in
Parkersburg yesterday en- route &c
Charleston, where he went TO attend
a meeting of the normal school regents,
he being one of them. The meeting
is called to investigate certain allega-
tions preferred against j. n. Shaekle-
ford, resident regent of the state nor.
NAL at Glenville. The charges are
that Shackleford tried TO coerce the
janitor of the school building into
voting for him for mayor of Chenille
and that when the afore said person
refused to do so, Shacklsford smote
him upon his honest countenance and
left him where lie fell ON the floor of
the sacred halls of the institution of
learning.
Mr.. Snyder in speaking of Shepherds
town, said that the oldest. most beau
tiful and most aristocratic town in
West Virginia. was about TO awake it.
self from centurys slumber and
emerge from the woods into the wide,
wide world. In ether words, the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad has COM
menced the building of thirty two
mile road from Cherry Run to Cum
berland and would. when completed
be part of the main line and proud
and placid Shepherdstown would be
on the main line. Mr.. Snyder stated
that while there were some persons in
the beautiful sole Virginia town"
exultant over the change that is to
take place in the life If the town,
there were MANY more who regretted
it. 81 am one of them said Mr.. Sny-
der. You know our town is away
over in the eastern panhandle next to
the Virginia line. 1t is the oldest
town in the state, a beautiful place
to live. a calm peaceful, contented
town, which adjectives describe the
people. There are families there whose
ancestors have lived there for hum
bred and fifty years. The people take
natural pride in the honor of their
ancestry and enjoy the solitude. peace
and beauty of the place. There is a
good college for the education of their
youth and all the advantages necessary
without the alluringly dangerous
and immortal attraction of city.
These people don't appreciate the in
trusion into their lives that will come
when their town is placed on the main
line of great railroad Ii means a
change in their life that they don't
care for. But l suppose that must be
and Mr.. Snyder spoke in far from
cheerful tones.

VENEZUELA is BLOCKADED
Castro Calls on People to Take Up
Arms Against Powers.
SHIPS OF NAVY WERE SlEZED
United States Minister is Protecting the Ger
man and British Subjects as Well
as Our Own,

A practical war is now on between
Venezuela on one side and Great Bri-
tain and Germany on the other though
there has been no actual declaration
of hostilities
The time limit set in the ultimatum
sent to President Castro BY the two
offended nations, demanding payment
of claims. having expired the British
cruiser Charvbodis made bloodless
capture of the Venezuelan flagship
Bolivar, at Port of Spain, Trinidad
British and German warships seized
in the harbor of La Guayra all the
Venezuelan war vessels which were
there-the General Crespo, Totumo,
Ossun and Margarita
A blockade of the entire coast then
began. Seizure of the custom houses
is expected as the next step. President
Caste, it is believed, will either de-
clare free trade or close the ports if
an attempt is made bv foreigners to
collect the custom dues. Complica-
lions are likely to ensue in the case of
exports from the United States and
other countries.
President Castro has appealed to the
Venezuelan people to take uD arms
against the German and British. Be-
sides the arrests of the subjects OF
those two nations in Caracas, he has
seized the railroads and other proper
tv belonging to them.
The United States has become in
volved in the conflict through the &C.
ton of President Castro in ordering
these arrests, as Minister Bowen rep-
resenting this country had previously
taken the subjects of the two nations
under his protection. Mr.. Bowen re-
quested President Castro to release
them and the Venezuelan President
set free the principal captives. The
Minister will insist that the others
be given liberty.
Minister Bowen is ready to act as
peacemaker if Venezuela requests it
and both Britain and Germany agree.
Admiral Dewey's great feet of AZ
vessels is now cruising off the north
coast of Porto Rico. The only United
States warship actually in Venezuelan
waters is the gunboat Marietta.
