TO GET BOTH ROUTES.
Colombia Said to Mediate Attack on
Nicaragua.

Whatever doubt existed in Nicaragua as
to the intention of Colombia to carry out
her threat to attack her as soon as her own
revolutionary movement had been quelled,
has been removed by the receipt of advices
of a semi official character here that the
Colombian army officers at Panama and
Colon are steadily, but very quietly, MAX
ing ready for an invasion Of Nicaragua.
It is stated, further, that there is a double
reason for the attack. In the first place,
Colombia wishes to take forcible possession
Of the Mosquito strip which would give her
control of both routes. available for an 18TH
mian canal, and sosenable her to make her
own terms, and in the second place, she
must find congenial employment for the
Colombian soldiers. who, having been fight
ing rebels for four years, cannot be easily
turned to ways Of peace, and would prob
ably start a new revolution II not allowed
an outlet for their energies outside Of CO.
lombia. The advices are to the effect that
the officials in Managua are seriously dis
turbed at the outlook, and are casting
about for means to avert the attack by
Colombia.

GERMANY IS oBDURATE.
Not Disposed to Heed Proposition for
Arbitration.

BERLIN, December 15.-In official quar-
ters here it is said that the Venezuelan
vessels sunk off La Guaira were old and
worthless revenue cutters and unfit to go to
sea, and that the other ships captured have
been sent to certain West Indian port to
be refitted for use during the blockade The
destruction of the Venezuela craft, it is
added was necessary in order to prevent
them from falling into the hands Of the
Venezuelans, as the German vessels had to
leave La Guaira.
Venezuela's proposition, through Minister
Bowen, to submit the questions in dispute
to arbitration, has now been received here.
The foreign office says this will not delay
the measures previously decided upon by
Germany and Great Britain. The officials
here do not indicate what will be the final
decision In the arbitration proposition, but
1t was apparently made too late to affect
the general situation.
Lieut.. Commander Tuerk. first officer of
the German cruiser Gazelle, has taken COM
mand of the captured Venezuelan gunboat
Resta aurador which is now flying the Ger
man flag. SO soon as the Restaurador has
completed her equipment at Port OF SPAIN
Island of Trinidad, she will be utilized in
the German operations against Venezuela.
Venezuela's Answer to Allies.
The following is the Venezuelan answer
to the Anglo-German ultimatum:
1.-The commodoreS of the Charybdis and the
Mineta
1--WE have the honor to reply to your mes
sage through commission composed of the
American, italian and Dominican consuls
The authorities at this port did not counte-
nance the lowering of the British flag on
the steamship Topaze, which act was per-
petrated only by the populace.
"On account Of the events at La Guatra,
fmprisonments were made on superior or
ders, and those imprisoned were released
subsequently on superior orders. The Ger
mans and English here enjoy full guaran-
tees
Here follow the signatures Of the authori-
ties.
This answer was delivered to the Italian
consult at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and
he was making signals when the lombard
ment began. German resident and two
servants at San Estoban, three miles from
Puerto Cabello. were killed in the shelling
of the fort
