BLIZZARD CAME SUDDENLY.
Helena. Mont. Struck by a Storm Almost
Without Warning.

Helena, Mont, Dec. 30.--A storm
struck Helena this morning with a
suddenness that was startling. An
apparently calm, warm morning was
transformed in almost twinkling
into what was bowling blizzard.
A few minutes before the storm
struck many noted peculiar cloud
effect in the valley. A huge cloud,
shaped like great mountain, leaden
in color, reaching from the valley of
Prickly Fear to the vaulted dome
above, swept up the valley, resemb-
ling in many respects the cloud that
usually means a tornado in other
states. When the cloud reached
Helena it proved to be the advance
guard Of blizzard that struck the
town with the fury of a genuine
North Dakota creation. The snow
descended rapidly while the wind
ragged. The storm lasted almost an
hour, and since then there has been
high wind. The storm came from
the northwest and was general over
Western and Central Montana.

Germany Preparing to Blockade venezuelan

Washington, Dec. 3G-The gather.
ing OF German warshIps in the vicin-
ity OF Venezuela and the presence in
the same locality ef many American,
British, French and other foreign
warships Is directing attention to the
| immene navsl denomination Germany
is about to make against Venezuela.
Thus hr the German government has
no, made public the exact details OF
her proposed move, the official COM
munication to the United States being
confined to an inquiry as to the atti-
tude Of this government on the qnes-
tion Of demonstration, in view Of
the purpose on the part Of Germany
not to acquire any permanent foot
hold in Venezuela. The answer Of
this government was entirely salts
factory to the German authorities,
who since have proceeded with the
execution OF their plans for coercing
Venezuela.
1t is said that the first probable
move by Germany will be the estab-
Iishment OF blockade OF Venezuelan
ports SO as to prevent the importation
OF food products into Venezuela, and
thus starve the besieged into submis-
sion. Venezuela, ii is said, is entire
ly dependent on the outside world for
its supply OF corn, which is a staple
among the Venezuelans. The Ger
mans are expected to occupy one or
more OF the main ports OF Venezuela,
probably La Guayra and Maracaibo.
Most positive assurances have been
given to the United States govern
ment that the occupation is to be
temporary, and only for such length
of time aswill permit the collection Of
the debt due to the Germans, thus
disposing Of the report that there is
an ulterior purpose to establish
German coaling station on Vene-
zuelan soil.
On the part of Venezuela it is semi
officially understood that President
Castro has made kown that he is pre-
pared for any eventuality. There is
complete silence, however, as to the
defensive measures Venezuela is
adopting, but there is no indication
that she is laying fmines or preparing
in any way to resist an occupation Of
La Guayra or Maracaibo, which are
such open ports that they are prac-
tically defenseless against such power
full armament as the Germans can
bring to bear. The reliance of Vene-
zuela appears to be on the practical
difficulties Germany will encounter.
