Caracas, Dec. 1s.-The following
profusely distributed here:
Another act Of very grave nature
on the part of the perfidious 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

ciples of civilization and against those
nations who have valuable assets In
that port, aRa whs, tAsrefsre, have ?
perfect right to expect the fulflllmeht
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 de-
nounce it as such in the name of the
principles Of civilization professed by

PARIS, Dec. 27.-(New York World Ca
| blegram-Special Telegram.)-J. p. Morgan
and Charles NJ. schwab have now acquired
about one-tenth OF the 200 900 shares Of the
International Sleeping Car company, which
will soon have cars running through from
Moscow, across Asia, through Siberia, Ia
Vladivostock, on the Pacific ocean. The In
ternational Sleeping Car companys latest
! issue consisted Of 10000 preferred shares
Mr.. schwab applied for them all, but the
directors, alarmed at the thought of allow
ing the head Of the American steel trust to
get too large an interest, only let him have
5000 A few months later Mr.. Morgan came
to Europe and bought 5000 and 5000 shares.
Subsequently the shares rose and Mr..
Schwab increased his holdings until he has
something like $4,000 or $1,000 shares.
Mr.. Nagelmackers, the head Of the sleep
ing car company and the superintendent OF
the great railway which connects Moscow
with vladivostock, Port Arthur and Port
Dalni, said to a World correspondent, in
talking OF the stupendous enterprise:
THE sleeping car company is now run
ming it's trains from Moscow to Irkutsk
and Lake Balkal. A dining car is added to
the ordinary trains on the other side Of the
lake, which go as far as the Manchurian
frontier. Next June trains will run to
vladivostock. Dalni and Port Arthur. From
Moscow to Port Arthur the distance is over
5000 miles.
"At the commencement the journey will
take about twelve days but when the line
gets into good working order we hope to
cover the distance in nine days Pas
sengers from London or Paris by the Trans
siberian railway now reach Pekin and
Shanghai in about twenty days In a few
months the time will be reduced to four
teen days The same journey by the old
steamship route takes from thirty-six to
thirty-eight days.
"At the beginning OF 1903 firms in Europe
will be able to send mail by the new route
and receive replies in the time that a
letter has hitherto taken to travel one
way only.
Il myself have several times received in
Paris letters from Pekin in twenty days
If my letters miss the Transsiberian con-
nections and come by steamer they gen.
orally take about forty days.
II would like to call the attention OF
the enterprising Americans to the fact that
Siberia is q new, unworked country, rich
in minerals, coal and especially gold
without a railway its immense resources
are valueless. With regular transportation
| service it's possibilities are illimltable
The western part of Siberia is a very rich
agricultural district with vast cornhelds
only awaiting developments.
Every day two freight trains leave
western Siberia loaded with butter and
eggs for Rigo. A part of the produce IL
distributed in the big towns of Russia and
large quantity is sent by steamer to
various parts of Europe, especially Eng
land, where Russian butter is sold as the
product of the best Normandy farms
Although the journey only takes half
the time required by the old route, the
fare is about $40 less than by steamer"

Mrs. Fremont was noted as much for
what she did as for who she was, for, be-
sides being the daughter of Senator Benton
and the wife Of General Fremont, she was
the author of several we'll remembered
books.
She was born in Virginia In 1924, but
afterward removed to Missouri with her
father, where she met and married Lieu
tenant, afterward General, Fremont in 1S41
Among her better known works are "The
Story of the Guard" "a Year of American
Travel" Far Western Sketches" Souve-
Mrs OF My Time" Sketch Of Senator
Benton" and "Will and the Way" stories.
Mrs. Fremont, during her younger days,
was great social favorite in Washington
and had great influence among the mem
bers of congress. She had unlimited faith
in her husband end 81 was her. influence
which secured hm psfnlsssion from tho
army authorities to make the explorations
which later proved of such great beneft to

Fremont hastened to put his plans into
execution but his enemies would have de-
feated him at last had it not been for his
faithful wife, who secured knowledge of
the fact that the order had been revoked
and fastened a messenger to st. Louis
where the general was outAtting, warning
him to cut loose from civilization at once.
She did not give the reason why, for she
well knew that the generals ideas of mil
itary duty would induce him to abandon the
trip II he knew even indirectly that his or
ders had been revoked. The general knew,
however, on receiving the word from his
wife that 1t was urgent and acted on the
advice without hesitation, though his prep
arations were not yet complete. Thus It
was that this womans wit saved for the
United States a vast empire.
Up to a few years ago Mrs. Fremont
was exceedingly active for one of her age,
and on her birthday was showing her
friends how agile she was by executing a
dance. Her foot caught in a rug and she
was thrown and suffered a fracture of one
Of her lower limbs, which made II impos-
sible for her to walk more than a few
steps thereafter.
Her home has always been the mecca of
young people, of whom she was very fond
and who were equally fond OF her.
At one time she was in straightened cir
cumstanees. but the government voted her
pension and admiring friends of herself
and the general purchased the beautiful
home in which she spent her last days.
