LONDON DOES NOT LIKE IT.
Fears German Aggressiveness Will Delay
Settlement

London. Jan 22-The British Government is
for the aggressive action of the German naval
authorities in again bombardng Fort san Car
los at the entrance of Lake Maracaibo, yester
day The Foreign Office officials here are ap-
prehensive of the result of the bombardment
They say that no decision has yet been reached
on the question Of the suspension of the block
ade. II was hoped that matters would have
made further progress before now, but this was
largely based on the belief that Minister Bowen
would reach Washington earlier than he did.
The only press comment on the second bonn
bardment of San Carlos appears in The ST
James's Gazette" which repudiates the aggres
siveness of the Germans. and says 1t trusts
the Americans will understand that the Ger
proceedings as little approved by the
British nation by themselves"
Diplomatic circles here are much aroused by
the news of the bomba rdment, but the officials
Of the various embassies seem equally ig
norant the Foreign Office regarding its cause
The belief prevails that the step taken by the
German commander will seriously delay the set
tlement of the questions in dispute. There are
many indications that the blockade viii not be
raised for the present, and that the negotiations
Washington will proceed. with perhaps
modified form Of blockade, sCme similar
rangement. the preliminary basis
The Foreign Office points out that everything
depends on the disposition of the Venezuelan
Government. Should the forthcoming negotia-
tons with Minister Bowen satisfy the powers
that Venezuela is determined do everything
possible TO meet her obligations, the powers will
terminate the blockade at the earliest possible
moment. The belief is expressed that President
Casiro's offer TO set aside the customs as guar
antee may prove to be a worka bic basis for a
satisfactory solution of the present difficulties

COURT DECIDES AGAINST LYNCH.
Plea of Naturalization Not Good Defence.

London, Jan. 22.-The court in which Colonel
Arthur Lynch, member of Parliament for Gal
way is being tried Oh the charge of high trea
SON. was again crowded to-day. After reading
the deposition of American, Lewis Handley,
who said Colonel Lynch compelled him to take
up arms in behalf of the Beers at Glencoe but
v no had got off through the Intervention of the
American Consul, counsel for the defence sub
mitted that the prisoner protected by the
naturalization laws He claimed that man
was entitled to become alien at any time
even after the outbreak of war: referred to the
War of Independence, and said there We're at
least twenty thousand men of British birth in
the American mercantile marine, and asserted
that there twenty million people living in
America who possessed two natonalities.
Counsel contended that Colonel Lynch took
I'D arms in behalf of the Transvaal without
secrecy and under the mistaken belief that the
naturalization act permitted this. In any event
counsel added, if the court decided the pris-
oner was British subject, he ought to be tried
in Australia, where he born.
The Attorney General. Sir Robert Finlay re-
plying for the prosecution, argued that Colonel
Lynch procured naturalization for the purpose
of fighting against his own country AMI added
that even could naturalization cover the iris
oner's subsequent actions. it could not cover his
anterior treason, namely adhering to the Queens
enemies and declaring his Willingness 20 fight
against her forces.

downe the Importance of looking after English
interests in connection with the proposed rec1-
procity treaty between America and Cuba. The
interview had, however, to be postponed until

TET ROOSEVELT DO IT."
BroughtOn Says 1t is Simply n Mat
ter of Taste.

Atlanta, Jan. 25.-At the close of his
sermon tonight at the Baptist taber--
nacle, Rev. L. G. Broughton had some
pointed remarks to make on the action
of President Roosevelt in asking ne
groes and their wives to a White
House reception. The expressions of
the pastor were received with a storm
of applause by the congregation. DR..
Broughton said:
I'VE are having great fuss in this
country about the President trying to
force social equality upon the white
people of the South. 1t doesn't cut any
figure; not the slightest. l think we
ought to stop so much talk about it.
Social equality can no more be forced
on us than you can hook the moon
out of it's socket. We are fixed on this
subject. If the President wants to put
himself on social equality nobody has
any right to say he shall not. 1t is
purely a matter of taste. We have
found by sad, sad experience, that it
won't do, and we simply are not going
to countenance any system of politics
in this country that continues to insult
our best social interest. 1 am a Re-
publican in much of the national plat
form of the party, but we in the South
hold the protection of the virtue of our
women more dear than all the issues
of the world"
