Regarding the position of the other
claimants against Venezuela, the block

Who Fired First Shot?

Caracas, Jan. 26.-The Associated
Press correspondent has been max
ing inquiries with a view to ascertain
ing whether the German gunboat Pan
Their or Fort San Carlos fired the first
shot.
The foreign minister said: "The
Panther on January II attacked the
fort first without provocation. The
gunboat Panther approached the fort
and fired upon it. We can guarantee
that the attack was premeditated and
planned in Berlin. The proof of this
assertion in letter we received on
the morning Of January 16 from Cur

tains in his possession, notifying us
that San Carlos would be attacked be-
tween January 16 and January Is, that
is to say, before the arrival of United

President Roosevelt Has Transmitted
to the Senate the Form of Govern
ment Now Existing in Island Of
Guam--Case of Mabna Explained
Must Take the Oath of Allegiance.

Westinghouse es dent Roosevelt
has transmitted to the senate his an
swer to the resolution of Senator Hoar
calling on him TO inform the senate
what government Is now existing in
the island OF Guam, and asking why
Mabini is detained in that island. The

resolution of January 5 | transmit the
attached letter from the acting secre>
tary of the navy, with Enclosures which
contain fully and specifically the infor-
nation asked for.
In reference to the case of Mabini.
especial attention is drawn to the COM
munications of the secretary of war,
notably his communication to the de-
partment of the navy of January 8,
1902; the special dispatch of July 10,
from the war department to General
Chaffee, commanding the division of
the Philippines, and to the communi-
cation of the acting secretary of the
navy of July rs, to the governor OF
Guam, inclosing said letter from the
secretary of war and directing that
action in accordance Herewith be ia
ken.
''By these letters the governor of
Guam is explicitly directed to release
from detention all prisoners, and it is
presumed that he has acted according
ly, but to provide against the slightest
chance of misapprehension he had
been specifically directed that all per-
sons found in the island under the
direction of the war department shall
terms of the secretary of wars letter
of July Is. In other words, the in
habitant of the Philippine islands NAM
ed Mabini, concerning whom a special
| inquiry is made in the resolution of
the senate, is at liberty to go on a gov.
eminent transport outside the Philip
pine islands where such transports
touch, without taking any oath of al
legiance whatever, and is allowed to
go to any part of the world save the
Philippines without taking the oath of
allegiance; and he would be allowed to
go on any private vessel to the Phil
ippines, but he can not land there save
on condition of complying with the
act of the Philippine commission de
handing that he take the oath of al
legiance.
"This is also a condition of the proc
lamation of peace and amnesty.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on trade last
week says:
Previously existing favorable condi-
lions still rule Spring trade shows
further expansion, particularly in dry
goods, such as linens, wash fabrics,
underwear and woolens. Clothing,
shoes and hardwood lumber are act
i've and the volume of shipments of
spring goods 90 fill orders offers still
another problem for the congested
transportation companies to solve. A
spell of mild weather has induced the
beginning of the usual clearance sales
of surplus winter goods by retailers.
1t has also tended to soften the acute
ness of the anthracite coal shortage at
he east and cause a lowering of prices.
This, however, is regarded as temper,
airy only another seasonable cold snap
containing great possibilities in the
way of enhanced prices. The snow
covering winter wheat is not uniform
and is on the whole rather scant, but
no unusual deterioration is reported
Textiles, particularly cotton and
wooden goods, occupy strong posi-
ton.

democratic branch of the assembly
has been In practically continuous
session, and since Wednesday at noon
the joint session of the democratic
members of both houses has been con.
tinuous. ~.
From yesterday morning all of the
democrats. were ready to cast their
ballots for Senator Teller, except Rep
resentative Madden of Denver. The
absence of Mr.. Madden was unaccount-
ed for until this afternoon, when II
was learned that he was at home Ill
with la grippe, and had been forbidden
to leave his room by his physician.
In spite of his condition, however
he decided to attend this evening, and
at the hour named was in his seat
and cast his vote for Mr.. Teller.
There were no republicans of either
house present, and the legality of the
election is not admitted by the repub-
licans.

uare transferred, and their names
aould not be ascertained. These in

srom Pendleton. The wrecked train
was the Portland Chicago overland, No.
due in Pendleton at 5:45 a. N. 1t
was slightly late, owing to landslide
near Portland. and passed through
pendleton shortly after 6 o'clock.
The wreck occurred at 6:10, one and
one half miles east of Bingham

If the Blue mountains. AT this point
Meacham creek takes a sudden bend
in against the railway bank. Usually
a small stream, the heavy rains of the
mast few days and melting snow in the
mountains have made it a raging tor
rent and the powerful rush of the
high water against the bank under
mined the earth and ballast SO much
during the night that two carlengths
were ready to cave in.
The locomotive, engine No. 402, shot
of the track into the middle of the
stream, the tender turning over on the
front portion. Patty was found partly
in the water, partly on the bank, Sc.
yerely crushed and scalded almost be-
yond recognition. Milligan, the hap
less fireman, was thrown into the
stream, and his body has not been re,
covered. 1t is not known whether he
is buried under the engine or washed
away. There were six cars. The front
portion of the baggage car was smash
ed to splinters, the baggageman, who
was sleeping in his bunk, having u
miraculous escape. Both this and the
mail car were demolished and thrown
into Meacham creek, while the smok-
ing car was also badly shattered.
Maxwell was in the front portion OF
the smoker and was probably crushed
IN some way under the car. He COM
plains of internal trouble in the abdo-
men and his shoulder blade is hurt.
He comes from McKittrick, CAL, and
was on his way to Baker City to visit
his mother.
