Mr.. Bowen has gotten in quantities of all
kinds of provisions, to be prepared for any
emergency. The enlistment of Venezue-
Ian soldiers continues; 1000 men from the
environs of Caracas and Valencia came to
this city to-day.
The boycotting of British and German
goods continues. The British and Ger

preaching for war. 1t is reported that
ninety Germans living in the country

After the news of the bombardment of
Puerto Cabello the population flocked into
the streets and patriotic demonstrations
continued all night. An immense crowd
whose numbers are estimated at more
than 10000 gathered in front Of the presi-
Dental palace and called on President

among the concourse having advocated re-

Puerto Cabello, Dec. 15.-The British
cruiser Charybidis and the German cruiser
Nineta bonn barded the fortress here late
Saturday and quickly silenced it.
The Commandment lasted for forty five
minutes. The fortress is composed of
Fort Solano and the Castle Libertador.
After the firing ceased the Charybidis
sent marines to occupy the castle. The
fortress was almost demolished. 1t is
probable that only a few persons were in
jured by the Smelling. The commander Of
the Castle Libertador has been taken pris-
oner. The cruisers are still here.
At o'clock in the morning the Chary-
bids and the Nineta arrived here, search
ing 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 mer-
chant steamer Topaze, which was seized
by the mob here last Wednesday, then
visited the British commodore board
the Charybidis and lodged a protest
against the violation of his ship. The Brit
ish captain returned an hour later with
a detachment of fifty marines, who took
charge of the Topaze. The populace was
greatly excited at this incident and raised
the cry, ITO arms but there was no dis
order.
The British commodore then sent a
message to the authorities at Puerto Ca
bello. demanding immediate satisfaction
for the action of the mob in having hauled
down the British flag from the Topaze,
saying that 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 authorities sent a message to Presi-
dent Castro.
At 445 a reply received from Pres
ident Castro, who authorized the chief
official here to give the British commo-
dore ample satisfaction. Before this an
swer could be communicated to the
American consul the hour stipulated for
its receipt had arrived and the cruisers
Immediately opened fire on the fortress.
The fire was returned from Fort Solano
and Castle Libertador. but the Venezue-
Ian guns were soon sienced. While the
firing continued there was intense excite
ment in this port. Every house in town
was closed.
The people of Puerto Cabello cannot &C
count for this precipitate action the
part Of the allies, which they consider tC
be proof that Great Britain and Germany
intend forcing war upon Venezuela.
No portion Of the town was dana geo
during the bOmbardment.

Consolidated Lake Superior Com
panY Is Rescued. =.

Philadelphia, Dec. 15.-The Consolidated
Lake Superior company has been rescued
from the financial straits in which it be-
came involved Thursday.
Immediate cash needs, it was authori-
tatively stated, have been supplied under
the preliminary 100000 loan arrange
ment. It is understood the banking sys-
tenn which has agreed to aid the com
pany will provide it with funds through
the Commercial Trust company as obli-
cations and commitments mature.
Theodore G. Search, vice president, is
acting head Of the company. He said that
collteral loan of sS,0O0,0 900 would prob
ably be arranged to-day and that there
would be no bond issue. ~:
Mr.. Search issued a statement, in which
he said the company, finding itself in
need for loan Of 100000 when the
break came, upsetting the plans Of the
directors.
1t was necessary, in consequence, to ne
gotiate a new loan. Mr.. Search also
stated that President Lewis resigned not
because of friction in the board Of direct
ors, but to leave the company to act free
as it saw fit.

WASHINGTON NOT PLEASED
The Bombardment Is Not Well Received
There.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The news that
Puerto Cabello has been bombarded by
the allies has not had a pleasing effect in
government circles here. Such a radical
step was not expected in view Of the as
surance given to President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hay by Germany and England
of their intention to pursue a course that
did not contemplate the shedding Of blood
or the destruction Of property.
The administration certainly construed
the communications of the London and
Berlin governments made in advance of
the Inauguration of coercive measures, as
assurance of the intention Of those govern :
ments to go no further in their efforts to
bring Venezuela to terms than the insti-
tuition of 'peaceable" blockade, or a
blockade without war, and this falling to

When Great Britain and Germany agreed
upon common course of action toward

WAR NOTES.

Caracas-Castro thinks that Europe has "ulte-
rior motives and pledges himself to resist ag-
gresSiOn.
Berlin---It is stated in official circles that Ger
many is prepared greatly to strengthen her naval
force in Venezuelan waters.
La Guaira-The German cruiser Vineta cap
tured near Guanta the Venezuelan gunboat Res
taurador, formerly George Gould's yacht Alta
lanta. from the Vineta was put aboard
and the captured vessel was sent to Trinidad.
London-The news that the first shots have
been fired in Venezuela has awakened the most
apathetic of the critics to the gravity of the
situation, and the demands that the government
present official papers in the matter to parlia-
ment are now most insistent 1t Is feared that
the action has been too hasty.
Wilemstad--General tos, the Venezuelan
revolutionary leader, Is Asfe. Neither he nor
any of his party will join with President Castro.
The revolutionary movement against President
Castro is still powerful despite the reports to the
contrary. General Rolan has defeated Cas-
tro's forces at Qua and General Riora is about
to take Coro.
San Juan, Porto Rico-The American fleet here
Is deeply interested in the news of the Anglo
German action III Venezuela. The Kearsarge,
Alabama Massachusetts, Iowa and Scorpion,
with Admiral Higginson in command. and the
Chicago, Newark and Eagle Admiral Sumner
commanding. will sail for Trinidad next Friday.
The United States will thus have strong naval
force within easy distance from the Venezuelan
coast. This movement, however, has no connec-
ton with the situation in Venezuela, and was ar
ranged before matters became acute.

was stated as follows:

punishment if it misconducts itself, pro-

But the seeming disregard by England
