THE GERMAN PRESS
Very Mild on Venezuelan Situation
Some of the Comment.

Berlin. Jan. 25.-The German press
calmly discusses the bombardment of San
Carlos. The leading newspapers here and
in the provincial cities publish telegram;
from New York. reproducing the views
held there and giving the supposed atti-
tude of the United States government in
regretting the bombardment, the loss of
life it caused, and it's consequences The
newspapers take the position that if the
United States put itself in the place of
Germany, it would see that the COM
mander of the Panther, unless the block
ade were to become mere Operetta, was
obliged to enter the lagoon of Maracaibo,
nd that the action Of the fort and the
subsequent cooperation of the Vineta
with the Panther was an inevitable con-
sequence.
The newspapers attach some Importance
to President Castro's throwing ridcuie
on the blockade and his remark that ne
could render the; blockade useless through
the Maracaibo lagoon.
The foregoing statement is a summary
of the editorials published in the Nation
al Zeitung, the Post, the Boersen Zeitung
ana other representative organs.

MINISTER BOWEN
Feels that Settlement of Whole Trouble
Is at Hand. .,,s.s s.'.


washington, Jan. 25.AMinister Bow
en- feels very optimistic, tonight, of the
future in the venezuelan matter. He
adheres to the belief expressed by him
in the statement he gave out at mid
night, last night, that the case would
be settled soon and satisfactorily. His
latest proposition, the important fea-
ture of which is a matter of guaranty
as a preliminary to the raising of the
blockade will be in the hands of the
allies by tomorrow afternoon and Mr..
Bowen thinks an answer might be re-
ceived in Washington within few
days or possibly Tuesday.
Mr.. Bowen declined, tonight, to dis
cuss the announcement made by a
Brussels newspaper to the effect that
commission appointed by the
United States will be charged with the
administration of the maritime GUS
toms fees in Venezuela. The inference
drawn from his remarks was that
while the statement as whole was in
correct yet there was an element of
probability to some feature Of it.

How to Grow a Forest From Seed.

The New Hampshire College Expert
ment Station has a bulletin in press that
will give results of experiments in grow
ing forest trees, especially the white
pine, from seed.
Professor Rane has had a large num-
Der of inquiries for information about
forestry matters, especially as to where
and bow to obtain Seeds and seedlings,
the price of the same, the number or
amount required for an acre, etc.
This bulletin is therefore published
with the belief that many others may
care to make use of the information.
The writer also explains how and when
to collect ones own seed; and discusses
briefly and in a practical way: /. Soils
and location. 2. Planting. g. Depth to
plant. 4. Growth of seedlings s. Trans
plants 6. Distance apart for trees to
stand !. Care of the plantation. s.
side of forestry.
The bulletin is well Illustrated, the
photographs having been taken especial
ly for the purpose. One photograph illus
trates the closed and open pine cone,
pine seed, and seeding; pines at one,
two, three and four years of age respec-
lively. Others Illustrate the chestnut.
red cak and black walnut at one year
from the time the seed was planted.
The writer claims that the non produce
tive. and waste lands through New Eng
land should be treated in one of two
ways. They should receive such care
and attention that they could be CLASH
fled as crop or farm lands adapted to
practical and successful agriculture, or
they ssauld be set aside for wood or
forest 81 owth.
We sLould teach our young men to
consider the forest as an actual field
crop; and a knowledge of it's culture and
handling is highly essential. aa
Professor Rane emphasizes the fact
that we should grow the forest for a ptr-
pose and should utilize 1t at the proper
time; but when the wood is harvested he
says: Let us plant to have a renewal
of the crop Immediately, so that no time
is lost and the land Is kept in constant
use"

THE DAWSON CITY SAFE.
Overdue Steamer Arrives at Port
Townsend, Wash.

Port Townsend, WASH, Jan. 25.-The
steamer Dawson City, Sc days from
Nome, reached port, today, under sail
after tempestuous voyage. The en-
tire trip was marked by succession
of accidents and exasperating delays,
while the fury of the elements seemed
to combine to hinder passage to- her
destination. Soon after starting south
the boilers commenced leaking, with
the result that the fresh water supply
was consumed Then fuel began to run
short and the vessel was forced to re-
sort to such canvas as could be FASH
toned into sails.
The vessel put into Fort Moller for
fuel and water and after remaining
two weeks started again, only to run
into fierce which drove her from her
course. Again fuel ran out so the Daw-
son City headed for Dutch Harbor to
refill her bunkers and tanks. At this
port her sailors deserted and refused
to continue the voyage. The run from
Dutch Harbor to this port was made
in % days.
The Dawson City brought no passen-
gers except her owner, Felix Brown of
Seattle, and his wife.
New York, Jan. 25.-On Oct. % last, the
steamer Dawson City left Nome bound to
Dutch Harbor. Alaska. Since leaving
Nome she has been reported only once.
That was on Nov. Is. when she was spok-
en- headed for Dutch Harbor The vessel
is a screw propelled ocean freight steam
sengers. She plies between Alaskan ports
and Seattle.

WRESTLING BEARS.
Bouts Between Russian and an
American at the Geological Garden.
(New York SUM-

view IOih Dull.J
A center of interest at the New York
Geological Garden is the great bear
cave, and one particularly attractive
place is the den in. which are kept an
enormous Russian bear and a common
American brown bear.
These two brutes are living the most
pleasant and sportive of lives. They
play with each other constantly and
their antics are SO strikingiy similar
to those of clumsy human beings that
the spectators cheer them on in their
games as they would rival athletes.
favorite sport of the two bears is
wrestling There hardly is an hour in
the day when they are not at it.
They usually have their contest on
the very edge of their swimming pool,
and the great object of each bear is
to hurl the other into the water. =
When one of the bears feels like
little fun of this kind he shuff1es over
to where his friend is reposing and
lifts himself awkwardly on his hind
feet. He then steps on the other chap
or leases him in some other manner.
When the reclining bear accepts the
challenge he arises and then the two,
standing upright just like men, adj
vance cautiously toward each other,
each trying to get the best hold, ex-
actly as human wrestlers would do.
Finally they close and hug. Then
they sway back and forth and pull and
push and heave at each other.
Sometimes one will try to trip the
other one and SO throw him, but the
bear wrestlers are shifty and can get
around wonderfully well on their big
hind feet, so tricks do not succeed very
often, and as rule the throw must
be accomplished by main strength.
When a bear finally is thrown he
goes into the pool with such splash
that the water flies all over the cave.
The wrestling matches are always in
solemn earnest and each bear evidently
tries his level best to get the other one
down. But neither animal ever loses
his temper, and after one is dumped
into the pool he climbs out again as
good natured as ever and is ready to
begin over again without a sign of
malice

EARLY AGREEMENT

fort first, without proyocation. The
guiboat approached the fort and fired
on it. We can guarantee that the at
tack was premeditated and planned in
Berlin. Fhe proof of this assertion is
letter we received on the morning of
Jan. 16 from Curacao and which Presi-
dent Castro retains in his possession,
notifying us that San Carlos would be
attacked between Jan. is and Jan. Is,
that is to say, before the arrival of
United States Minister Bowen at
Washington.
Another. proof that the attack was
premeditated is the circumstance that
Gen. Bello, who is in command of the
fortress, received no notification as to
the object of the Panther in approach
ing the fortress similar to the written
ultimatum that the Germans transmit
ted through the United States consul
to the Venezuelan representative at
Puerto Cabello when Fort Libertador
was SHIELDED
The letter referred to above has been
communicated to certain legations.
The correspondent also saw DR.. Tor
res Cardenas, President Castro's Sec
rotary. DR.. Cardenas said:
1.-THE Panther attacked first. We
have proof of it. Germany may try to
explain her conduct by asserting that
the fort fired on them first, but we
deny it. 1t was not the fortress, which
is immovable, that called on the Ger
mans. No, it was the Panther which
was enforcing the blockade outside the
bar six miles from the fortress, which
one morning came and attacked the
fortress. Why should we attack? Have
we tried since Dec. g. to trouble the
Germans, English or Italians, not with
standing their aggressive policy? Our
role was finished fortnight ago. Mr..
Bowen, the United States minister,
represents our interests and we were
patiently and silently awaiting the re-
suit of his mission when this sad event
occurred. Compare the conduct of Eng
land and Italy with Germany's system
of enforcing the blockade. You will
see that the latter alone has interest
IN creating trouble"
The Venezuelan war minister said:
1.-THE report that we fired first on the
Panther is stupid. Venezuela, being
aware that the guns of the fortress
We're inferior and of shorter range than
the German guns, had learned by the
experience of the Smelling of Puerto
Cabello, that if any one suffered it
would be the fortress"
