Fort Again Bombarded by German
Warships.

a despatch from Maracaibo, Venezue-
la, says that three German warships
shelled the fort San Carlos Wednesday.
The fort returned the fire. In the af-
ternoon an explosion occurred in the
fort, 1t is reported that the village of
SAN Carlos was shelled by the German
ships and was burned. The particulars
are not given and it is not known def
nitely if the fort was destroyed. 1t is
supposed that the German ships wished
to pass the port to enter Lake Maracai-
bo to capture the Venezuelan gunboat,
Miranda, and that the Germans also
wished to make the blockade effective,
as traffic has been kept up steadily
by the Venezuelans with Colombia.
No official notice of the affair has
been taken in Washington, but the feel
ing in governmental circles is one OF ir-
ritation at Germany's action, which Is
regarded as wholly unwarranted.
Iater-The bombardment by the Ger
man cruisers was continued Wednesday.
The fort was stll holding out when the
last news came, but IL of its garrison
were dead and Is badly wounded

AUSTIN =. KELLEY IN JAIL,
Indicted on Three Counts for Embez-
zlement-Was Unable to Raise Bail
in the Sum of $4,000.

in the Sum Of $1,000.
Windham county people who lost
many thousand dollars through the
Minneapolis in 1896 will read with in
terest the following from the Mime
apolis journal OF Jan. IA:
Austin f. Kelley, well known in
Minneapolis real estate circles for
many years, is an inmate Of the Hen
nepin county Jail accused of embez-
element. He was arrested yester-
day afternoon and arraigned before
Judge Harrison Oh three separate
indictments returned by the present
grand jury. A plea Of not guilty
was entered in each case and on fail
ure to put up bonds aggregating $4,000
the defendant was taken 10 Jail
While the new indictments involve
in a general way the same class of
charges made against the Kelleys at
the time of their failure it is supposed
that the matter has been reopened
by the recent partnership row in the
Ewing Machine company. In this
partnership disagreement, which fl
nally resulted in a receiyership, Ha-
zen NJ. Parker was opposed to Mr.
Kelley and the two men made serious
charges against each other
The first Indictment charges that on
Dec 13, 1900 A. f. KeIley collected
1929 on a real estate mortgage belong
ing to n. d. Jenneson. This money,
it is charged. was not turned over to
Jenneson, but was appropriated by
Kelley to his own personal use and
no accounting has ever been given to
the owner of the mortgage.
Another Indictment alleges that
$423.65 was collected by the defend
ant on a mortgage held by Henry Gill
am. The money was never turned
over and embezzlement is charged.
The third Indictment charges the
embezzlement of s1,251T0 belonging
to Thomas C. Weeden. the same being
collected on a real estate mortgage.
On his part Mr.. Kelley SAYS he can
disprove any criminality in connection
with all three cases. For one thing
he has Weeden's receipt for the
s1,251.70 and he says he can refute
the other charges by equally strong
proofs.

William Fitzhue, an English expert
who was sent to Alaska by a London
syndicate, estimates that the gold de-
posits on Seventy Mile river will turn
out $500,00O,00O before they are ex-
hausted. He propheses that the
gold output of Alaska after 1905 will
exceed that of the Rand in the follow
ing ten years He may be far above
the mark, but it is evident that Sew
ards folly" in purchasing Alaska for
S15,000.000 was the luckiest invest
ment which any country made during
the last century.
