CARACAS BOMB STORY
DISCREDITED IN BERLIN
Intimation That Yenezuelans Concocted
Tale to Prejudice Germany.

BERLIN. March 1T is stated Of
iciaIly. that there can be no truth in the
report from Caracas that the Germans
left a bomb in the coal bunkers Of the
Venezuelan gunboat Restaurador. before
returning her to the Venezuelan govern
ment. II any such bomb was found. Of
icials say. II must have been placed
there by the Venezuelans themselves af-
ter restoration Of the ship.
Officials assert that the vessel was in
spected thoroughly and cleaned. prior TO
her return. and was in a better condi-
tion than when captured.
Settlement Outside Hague Court.
From an official source it is learned
that the chief hindrance TO a settle
ment of the preference claims against
Venezuela is the fact that Minister
Bowen's protocol is actually under dis
cussion by the various governments con-
cerned. II is nevertheless admitted that
prospects OF a settlement outside The
Hague court remain bright. A decision
upon this point may be expected within
a few days.

Miss Grace Nilsson was the principal
witness this morning. This young
woman. who is said to have been the
cause of Weismiller's visit, told a story
which yariedin minor details from that
related by Mrs. Gushing but she stuck
to the main facts of how Weismiller
pounded Wagner over the head with
a whisky bottle and disfgured him for
life. The young woman evidently did
not relish the cross-examination by Mr..
Hail., and she made some remarkable
statements, saying, for example, that
she was hit in the head by a piece Of
glass and knocked senseless as she
was going out Of the back door, but
that she continued around the house,
tainted at a particular place in. the
front yard and when she came to she
was standing up looking at the fight
