He Tells the Story of That Ven-
 ezuelan Bombardment.

Not a Single Person Was Killed or
 Wounded, He Says-Crew of Brit
 ish Merchant Ship Captured aAd
 Marched Through Streets in Their
 Night Shirts-That Was the Begin
 ming of the Trouble.
 La Guaira, Venezuela, Dec 23.-The British commodore, Montgomerie, who directed the Anglo German lombard ment of the Notifications at Porto Ga bello on December 14, gives the fol lowing account of the operations. Af- ter declaring that not a single person was killed or wounded in the bom- bardment. the commodore says:
 Considerable misapprehension ex- ists as to the action of the Charybdis, of the Royal navy. and the Vineta. of the Imperial German navy, at Porto Cabello. A British merchant ship, the Topaz, which was peacefully ly ing at anchor in the harbor, was boarded at night by Venezuelans, and the crew, in their night shirts, were hurried ashore, marched throu%h~fhe streets, and cast into a filthy prison, where they remained without food or water. Under a strong guard they were marched back to the ship the next day and compelled to lower the colors flying at her stern.
 "When arrived at Porto Cabello I at once demanded an apology and assurances that the act would not be repeated and that British subjects and their interests would not be maltreat- ed or injured. In case the demands were not complied with I announced that I should lombard the fort, thick walled structure within easy range of our guns, and another battery mount ing a few Krupp guns, some distance away In reply I was informed that mob was responsible for the out rage and that the matter would have to be referred to higher authority. replied that if dog I owned bit an- other man I should certainly be nor ally obliged to give satisfaction. Through the American consul I ar ranged to receive the reply to my com munication, which had been tele- graphed to Caracas. If he hoisted the American ensign I should know that the demand had been compiled with When the hour the ultimatum expired came saw the ensign hoisted, but it was hauled down again. waited seven minutes and then opened fire on the fort and the battery Before opening fire I gave ample notice to the military authorities to remove the political prisoners and assured the in habitants of th5-town that no injury would be done them. There was a feeble response to our fire from the battery, but none from the fort, the soldiers in which fled like rats. They left behind general, twelve other of- ficers and twenty soldiers and a num- Der of criminal prisoners. After bom- barding nineteen minutes and making very good practice, we ceased firing and a guard was landed and took pos session of the fort. receiving the sur render of the general and. his men They were immediately paroled. The criminal prisoners Were held and turned over to responsible authority. The occupation lasted but a short time and the party returned to the ships. The Vineta participated in the |bombardment Instead of a number of persons being killed, only two men were injured. and they broke their thigh bones in attempting to escape from the fort'

 Denver, Col, Jan 6.-The sub-commit- tee of ten appointed by the democratic state central committee to draft an ad- dress to the public setting forth the democratic side of the legislative con troversy, has completed the address.

Wolcott, and that large sums of money have been spent in the accumulation of false or distorted testimony in support of the contests. 1t is declared to be the duty of the democratic majority in the senate, in case the republican repre- sentatives insist upon wholesale un- seating of democrats, to prevent a joint session of the two houses and thus make it impossible to elect a re- publican United States senator.
