least concern about their future, tho the
date of their execution is first. Ihey
are cheerful and talkative. Contrary TO
the general supposition in such cases,
they are not chained down to floor
and day and night guard placed over
them. They are treated much like other
prisoners. A state official who recently
visited the penitentiary asked Phillips,
the negro what he thought of his case.
Don't worry" he replied, I'll live as
long as you do"
Brooks was equally Indifferent.
Busse, who Is to be hanged for most
atrocious murder of his wife, manifests
signs of remorse and fear. He is an
| ugly looking brute, but the least men
ton of his crime brings him to tears.
Harry Hortman, the Cherokee boy VINO
killed his sweetheart and confessed the
deed, is morose; but he has been taken
| to the prison hospital and it is feared
| he will cheat the gallows by dying be-
| fore March IL, the date set for his ex-
| ecution. He is suffering from consump-
| ton. The announcement was made tnat
Hortman would ask a rehearing but SO
Iar no steps have been taken to that
end. Busse has appealed. but the pa
pers have not been prepared yet, be-
cause of the illness of his attorney.
There is one under sentence of death at

Iiams, colored, of Mahaska county.

hanged Governor Cummins will have

passed over without execution of the
sentence, then it devolves upon the
governor not the court, to fix date
and this fixing of date is virtually a
death warrant There is not particle

these cases ever comes up to him. a

the opposite of that of Governor Shaw

HoMHARDMENT BEGUN.
The Venezuelan Forts at Porto cabello
Quickly SiIenced.


Puerto Cabe1lo, Dec. 15.-The British
cruiser charybdis and the German
cruiser vineta have bombarded the
fortress here They quickly silenced it.
The Charybdis and the Vineta ar
rived here Saturday morning. The
captain OF the English merchant steam
er Topazta which was seized by the mob
last Wednesday visited the English
commodore on board the Charybdis ana
returned an hour later with a detach-
nlent OF fifty marines who took charge
of the Topaze.
The populace were greatly excited at
this incident and raised the cry ito
arms" but no incident occurred.
The English commodore sent a de-
n1and to the authorities for immediate
satisfaction for having pulled down the
British flag from the Topaze and ad-
vised the government that IL satisfac-
tion was not forthcoming in two hours
the fortress and the customs house
would be bombarded The authorities
on the receipt of this demand sent a
message to President Castro asking for
Instructions.
Al committee of the merchants of
Porto Cabello then approached the
American consul here, petitioning him
to intervene. The consul accepted this
mission and visited the cruisers. but
he could obtain no alteration in the de-
cision OF the allies.
At quater before 5 a reply was re-
ceived from President Castro, who au-
thorized the chief official here to give
the British commodore ample satisfac-
tion. Before this answer could be com
municated to the American consul the
hour stipulated for It's receipt had ar
rived: the cruisers Immediately opened
s fire on the fortress.
The fire was returned from Fort So
lano and Castle Libertador, but the
Venezuelan guns were soon silenced.
While the firing continued there was
intense excitement in this port. Every
house In town was closed.
The people of Porto Cabello can not
account for this precipitate action on
the part of the allies, which they con-
cider to be proof that Great Britain
and Germany intend forcing war upon
Venezuela.
The British marines purpose to make
use of the cannon in Castle Libertador.
No damage was done to the town.
The excitement of the people is subsid-
ing. Only a few persons were injured
by the shelling.
The entrance to the inside harbor at
Porto Cabello is thru narrow chan
mel not more than few hundred feet
wide. To the left of this channel as
ore enters the harbor, situated on low
sand spit, is the fortress which was
bombarded by the British and German
cruisers 1t is an oid-fashioned struc-
tuse which was rebuilt in the eigh-
teenth Gentry. Its sides are compara-
lively low and would offer poor resist
ance to modern shells 1t Is not be-
Heved that the Venezuelan government
had any modern cannon there.
