TALK OF THE COMMANDMENT.
Views That are Expressed by the
German Press.

Berlin, Jan. 25.-The German press
discusses calmly the bombardment of
San Carlos.
The leading newspapers here and in
the principal cities publish kilograms
from New York, reproducing the views
held there and giving the supposed
attitude of the United States govern
ment in regretting the bombardment,
the loss of life it caused and its con-
sequences The newspapers take the
position that if the United States put
themselves in the place of Germany
they would see that the commander of
the Panther, unless the blockade were
to become a mere operatta, was obliged
to enter the lagoon of Maracaibo. and
that the action of the fort and the
subsequent cooperation of the Venita
with the Panther was an inevitable
consequence.
