is hoped that they will avail them
selves of this opportunity. The pro-

arbitration nor the limitations and
points of doubt which may prevent
the acceptance OF the scheme, which
are believed to be Castro's unwilling
ness to bind himself in advance to

A dispatch from Puerto Cabello.
dated December 10, says; The British
cruiser Charybdis and the German
| cruiser Vineta have bombarded tho
| fortress here. They quickly silenced
It. The Charybdis and the yineta ar
rived here this morning. The captain
| OF the English merchant steamer To
paz. which was seized by the mob
last Wednesday, visited the English
commodore on board the Charybdis,
and returned an hour later with de-
tachment Of fifty marines, who took
charge of the Topaz. The populace
was greatly excited at this incident,
and raised the cry ITO Arms!" but
no incident occurred. The English
commodore then sent demand to the
authorities for immediate satisfaction
for having pulled down the British
flag from the Topaz, and advised the
government that if satisfaction was
not forthcoming in two hours the
fortress and the custom house would
be bombarded. The authorities, on the
receipt of this demand, sent mes
sage to President Castro, asking for
instructions. At o'clock the Charyb-
dis and the Vineta opened fire on the
fortress and custom house. The fort
replied, but was soon silenced. No
damage was done to the town. The
United States consul went on board
the two cruisers and was informed by
their commanders that they had come
to this port in search OF the vene-
zuelan warships.
The entrance to the inside harbor
and Puerto Cabello is through a mar
row channel not more than a few hun
dred feet wide. To the left of this
channel, as one enters the harbor, sit
mated on low sand spit, is the for
.ress which was bombarded by the
British and German cruisers. It is an
'ld-fashioned structure, which was re.
quilt in the eighteenth century. It's
sides are comparatively low, and
would offer but poor resistance to
modern shells.
