Reason for Bombardment of Porto
cabeIIo by the Powers.
f Correspondence of the Associated Press. }
La Guayra, Dec. 23.-The British
commodore, Montgomery, who directed
the Anglo German bombardment Of the
fortifications at Porto Cabello on De-
cember Ia gives the following account
of the operations. After declaring that
not a single person was killed or
wounded in the bombardment the com
modore says:
Considerable misrepresentation eX-
lists as to the action of the Charybdis,
of the royal navy, and the Vineta, of
the imperial German navy, at Porto
Cabello. The British merchant ship,
Topaz, which was peacefully lying at
anchor in the harbor, was boarded at
night by Venezuelans and the crew, in
their night shirts, hurried ashore,
marched through the streets and cast
into filthy prison, where they re-
mained without food or water. Under
a strong guard they were marched back
to their ship next day and compelled to
lower the colors flying at her stern.
Demanded an Apology.

HEARING RESUMED.
Coal Strike Commission Listens tt
Nom Union Mems Side.

Philadelphia, Jan. S.-After a recess
over the holidays the Anthracite Coal
Strike commission resumed its work
in this city today, hearing the non-un-
ion mems side of the controversy. 1t
is expected fully month will be occu-
pied in taking testimony.
John ]. Williams, a mining engineer,
employed by the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre
Coal company, was the first witness. He
told how he was set upon and beaten
while on his way to work, but could not
swear the strikers committed the as
sault.
Sheriff Schadt of Lackawanna coun-
ty, gave in detail his experiences during
the strike, and finally his call upon the
governor for assistance. The sheriff
said President Mitchell had several
times assisted him in preventing
trouble.
President Mitchell cross examined
the sheriff, and the latter admitted he
had employed about fifty deputies
which the coal companies had paid for.

Removal Caucus Tomorrow.
The capital removal caucus will be
held tomorrow forenoon. A. G. Johnson
arrived this morning to take in hand
the Chicago and Northwestern railroad
interests.
An effort will be made to defeat the
removalists in the senate, but 1T is
doubtful whether such a plan can be
carried out, even with Mr.. Johnson on
the firing line. Hunter Of the Milwau-
kee is not at the present time claiming
as much for Mitchell as previously, but
it is believed that Mitchell has the
larger number Of votes, although not a
majority of the removal faction, and it
is hard at the present time to give the
results of the caucus.
The inaugural ceremony took place at
high noon in the hall Of the house with
the usual formalities. The governor s
and adjutant generals staff were pres
ent Judge Fuller Of the supreme court
was present to administer the oath. (.
The inaugural reception and ball last
night was, by unanimous consent, one
of the most interesting and notable
functions that South Dakota has en-
joyed since statehood. 1t marks the
close of a very successful and satisfac-
tory gubernatorial term to all parties
alike; and the re-entering Of Governor
Herried upon his second term, which
bids fair to be even more successful
than the one now closing.

Castro's Alternative Proposition a Bou-
quet for Roosevelt.
Caracas, Jan. S.-A high official of the
Venezuelan government said to an AS
sociated Press representative:
II am greatly surprised at the press
cablegrams saying that Importance has
been given the last of the several propo-
sitions containing President Castro's
answer to the powers in the matter of
referring the Venezuelan difficulty to the
arbitration of The Hague tribunal This
proposition was intended Simplify as a
compliment to President Roosevelt as
chief executive of the greatest American
republic. Its suggestion that the ques-
ton be left to the arbitration Of an Amer
lean representative was only compli-
mentary alternative"
President Castro is elated over the
capture by his troops of all the am
munition destined for the Matos revolu-
tionists, which, it is alleged in certain
quarters here, the allied powers per-
mitted to reach the Venezuelan coast
at Coreo :. 1t has been learned here that
the allies have declared that the block
ade of Coreo will begin today.
6 AS a result of the governments vic
tory over the revolutionists a Guatire
last Sunday, General Fernandez, one
of the revolutionary leaders, has Of
sfered to treat with President Castro.
