Caracas, Dec. 1s.-The following
presidential manifesto is now being
profusely distributed here:
Another act of very grave nature
on the part of the peridious foreigner
has just been effected against the city
of Puerto Cabello-the bombardment
of that port by the combined fleets OF
England and Germany without any
previous declarations of war or the
fulfllment of any of the formalities
established BY law for carrying on an
act of force.
1T is 20 longer an act against the
government and the people OF Ven
eZuela. but against the general prin-
ciples of civilization and against those
nations who have valuable assets In
that port, aRa WIZ tAsrsfsre, have ?
perfect right to expect the fulfllmeht
of the necessary formalities in such
cases, which were utterly ignored. as
no time was given for the withdrawal
of women and children from the dan
gers of the bombardment.
This is not only cowardly, but it is
an insult to all the nations, and l de-
nounce it as such in the name of the
principles Of civilization professed by
VeneEuela.

NOT AN uLTlMATUM.
Demand of the Italian Government on
Venezuela.

Venezuela.
Caracas, Dec. 1.-THE Italian hin
lister, Senior Rivas, only handed to the
Venezuelan government certain de-.
fnands which were not in the form Of
an ultimatum and which did not speci-
fy any limit of time for an answer.
His note simply asked for payment of
sums due to Italy and in case of pay
ment being made to other countries
it asked for the same treatment.
The government answered in the
negative to the note of Minister Rivas,
saying that tribunals exist in Venezue-
la to judge any claims arising from the
revolution.
/! The Associated Press correspondent
is informed that the Italian minister
has cabled to Rome for further in
.structions.
There is no excitement among the
people here against Italy because as
yet no Italian naval demonstration has
taken place.

Elizabeth, Nov 13.-Some unknown
person is mourning the loss of a roll Of
bills amounting to about $500. But at
least score of persons are richer, hav-
ing engaged in a wild scramble for the
money.
One man, who was leading dog by
string, was among the earliest in the
center Of the struggling crowd. The
dog followed and became wild with ex-
citement. Seeing his master grasp at
the flying currency the animal grabbed
bill in its mouth, then another, and
darted away. The last seen of the

sat on couple of notes near the curb.

ually uncovered the money where her

all smiles, she waddled away.

BUSY DAY FOR POLICE.
There Were Many Arrests Throughout
the Day.

The police were kept somewhat
busy this morning. No less than five
arrests were made in about an hour.
James Burke was the first one to fall
into the tolls He was arrested at
1875 by Officer Simon Mccarthy and
is charged with being drunk. About
half an hour later DR. p. j. Callaghan
was arrested by Officer McEvoy and
charge of breach of the peace was
placed against his name on the slate.
He was arrested on complaint of NJ.
J. Brzezinski, proprietor of the Week
ly Examiner. DR. Callaghan, who
appears to be having no little trouble
with the courts of late, is said to have
taken exception to an article concern
ing him which appeared in recent
issue of the Examiner When he
met Mr. Brzezinski day or two ago
he expressed his resentment against
the article and his opinion Of Mr.
Brzezinski in such strong terms that
the latter had a warrant issued for
his arrest. Two arrests were made
at 11:15. William Kelly was brought
in st that time by Officer Tehan and
SO was Michael Lyons by officer
Lawlor. This is not the first time
that either one has been arrested. The
last arrest Of the morning was at
11:55, when Maurice Gloven Of South
Main street was arrested by Lieuten-
ant Dodds and Detective O'Gorman.
He is charged with theft. Gloven,
who works for the railroad company,
is accused of stealing copper from one
of the railroad cars. The copper,
which was assigned to the Chase Roll
ing Mill Co, was stolen about two
weeks ago.

ERUPTION IN GUATEMALA.
News That Destruction of Life and
Property is Large

, Property is Large.
San Francisco, Nov 13. Particulars
Of the recent eruption Of Mount Santa
Maria, in Guatemala, brought by the
steamer Newport from Panama, are
to the effect that the destruction Of
life and property has been immense.
The necessity for relief is said to be
urgent.
Coffee plantations in the districts
of Costa Cuca, Chuya, Reforma, Pala-
mar, Costa Grande and Kolhutz have
been buried. seven feet deep in vol
canic ashes and debris. Thousands
of cattle have been destroyed and the
loss of life is thought to be large.
When the Newport was at Champer-
leo the officers found the people Of
that port panic stricken. The steam
ship Acapulco, bound south, arrived at
Champerica while the Newport was
there, and carried to San Jose de Guat
emala all the passengers that could
crowd aboard
Details from the scene of the great
est damage We're hard to get. One
firm offered $1,000 to any person who
would go to their Miramar plantation
in Costa Cuca and bring the news of
conditions there. When the Newport
sailed this offer was still standing.
The towns of Palmar, San Felipe.
Colombia and Coatepec are reported
to have been completely buried in de-

NEW TARIFF BILL.
Adopted by Reichstag To-day by a
Vote of 1872 to Il.


Berlin. Nov l3.-The Reichstag to-
day adopted, by 1872 to q votes, the
paragraph of the new tariff bill author
izing the government to retaliate on
any country discriminating against
German goods. The agrar1ans openly
affirmed that it was necessary to arm
the government with weapons for re-
prisal, especially against the customs
practices of the United States. DIR
Brumer, national liberal, cited an in
stance in which he said 100000 worth
of enameled goods We're ordered IN
Germany for New York, but, he as
serted, the customs officials changed
the classification at the instance of the
American trust. Whereupon the New
York importer cancelled the order" 1t
was proven, the speaker continued, to
the customs officials that the invoice
was in exact accord with the German
sellers books, and that instead of the
goods being undervalued the books
showed that shipments had been made
to India at still lower prices. DR.
Brumer further asserted that the GUS
toms officials treatment was dictated
by the interests of the home manu-
fatcurers.
Continuing DR. Brumer said: 1T
is said that we must not offend the
| United States; but they will respect
us more and we shall gain more by
showing our teeth than by always Civ
ing pleasant words
Herr Gothein. radical liberal, re-
piled that such words were no fitting
/ epilogue TO the sentiments expressed
by Count .Posadowsky, the home sec
retary, in the presence of the foreign
secretary. Baron Won R;chthofen, at
Ambassador Whites farewell dinner
''ThiS will make diScord,' he contin-l
ued, 'tamong the wishes spoken there
for friendly relations with the United
| States. Why empower the govern
ment to do something it does not want
to do? Although the present govern
ment would not apply the paragraph,
some succeeding government might
commit such folly. Retaliatory du-
ties are the weapon of Chauvinism
and not of patriotism"
Herr Fischback, radical, said all the
chambers of commerce We're opposed
to tariff war with the United States.
Herr Broemel, radical, remarked
that if Germany adopted retaliatory
measures against the United States
on account of regulations which ap-
piled to the goods of all countries it
would be serious breach of the ex-
listing treaties.
The Associated Press is authorized
to announce that the ministry has not
decided to drop the tariff bill, as pub
lished in London, but is determined to
persist until the dissolution of the
reichstag in June. The tariff debate
will probably be abruptly suspended
by the prese station of the budget in
few days instead of waiting for the
first week in December, as previously
intended. Chancellor Won Buelow
finds that the reichstag's time is being
wasted and wishes to employ the
house on the finance BILL So soon as
the latter is read the government will
take up the tariff bill, when lapse of
time will have reduced the majority in
the house to more yielding disposi-
| tion.
The ministry has also decided not
to agree with Russia or any other
country for a five years extension of
existing commercial treaties.
