Scene Of Operations on the Venezuelan Coast

pite the efforts of United States Min
lister Bowen to secure their release.
Mobs have partly wrecked the Ger
nan embassy and consulate.
British and German flags have been
burned in the streets.
The British and German railroads
to La Guayra and Valencia have been
seized.
President Castro has released all
his political nemies from prison and
restored all estates conflscated during
the recent rebellion.
There was a great patriotic demon
stration at Caracas when the news
arrived that the British and German
warships had seized the Venezuelan
war vessels at La Guayra. Crowds
quickly gathered and paraded the
streets and squares of the capital, dis
playing banners and singing patriotic
songs. Violent speeches were deliv-
cred at various points. The populace
marched to the palace of President
Castro who addressed it.
The mob then moved on to the
German legation, shouting Death to
the Germans" The windows were
shattered with stones, and attempts
were made to force the doors, but the
! latter resisted these efforts, and Nine.

The German demand Is for the pay

loan and other claims. The demands
are without any specifications as to
the time given for an answer, but they
are in the form of an ultimatum.
President Castro, in an open letter
to the people Of Venezuela, defends
his own course, and practically defies
the British and German governments.
He says:

Won Pilgrim-Baltazzi, the wife Of the
German charge d'affaires, who has

and therefore could not leave Caracas

from violence.
The crowd then marched to the
German consulate and then to the
residence of DR.. Koehler, again ston-

force an entrance. The police made
no effort to dispense the demonstra-

All the British residents were ar
rested except Albert Cherry of the
Venezuela British owned Central rail-

Ninety-seven German residents were

whose claims are to be enforced BY
the ultimatum against Venezuela are,
according to the New York Tribune's
correspondent in London, railway and
l.arbor improvement companies. Some
of these companies complain of de-
faults Of interest guaranteed by the
Venezuelan government, and another
corporation, which took up an issue
OF bonds, claims that considerable
amount of unpaid interest is due 1t.
The German claims are larger In
amount and more varied in their ma
ture and the responsibility Of the Ven
ezuelan government for the redemp-
ton of the obligations Is less obvious
in certain sections Of the account.
The precautions taken by the Unit
ed States in ordering strong feet to
the Venezuelan coast do not escape
attention. 1t is considered a sign
that the Washington authorities are
on their guard against the taking of
too drastic measures on the part
either of Germany or England for the
collection of debt from a weak
power distracted with revolution.

The one great question which rises

by reason of its easy application and

be lined up shortly. The principal
concern holding out is the Gates iron
works, a branch of the Allis- CHAIN

union men during the long strike,
and so far the union has not been able
to get them displaced. The scale
for which the iron molders are fight

As Viewed In Washington.
President Roosevelt's recent uttel

ances on the Monroe doctrine in his
message to congress were written with
the Venezuelan matter in view and
probably for the purpose Of indicat.
ing to Germany and Great Britain how
far this government was willing they
should proceed In the collection of
the moneys which they are claiming
from Venezuela. 1t is presumed,
therefore, that President Roosevelt is
ready to meet any emergency which
may arise in the future.
1t Is regarded as significant that the
great naval maneuvers under Admiral
Dewey which are now going forward
around the island of Porto Rico were
conceived after Great Britain and
Germany had formally announced
their purpose to send hostile fleets to
the Venezuelan coast.
This government is well prepared
for contingencies. The Navy Depart
ment could on short notice send into
those waters a feet far stronger thar
the combined naval forces Of Ger
many and Great Britain. but no wal
ship will be sent If It can be avoided
The country's policy has been to hold
distinctly aloof from both sides.

in Wisconsin the increase in the ranks
of working children far exceeds that
in the ranks of working adults. BY
