Latest Bombardment Has Created q
Painful Impression at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The action or
the three German warships in bombarding
the fort of San Carlos at the entrance OF
Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, and the Incl
dental burning of the village OF San Car
los have caused a painful impression in
official circles here. as il is feared the
peace negotiations may be further delayed.
The press report of the bombardment was
confirmed to-day by Mr.. Russell. charge
of the United States legation at Caracas.
but he cabled no details. In fact, details
of the Venezuelan situation are difficult
to secure from any source There is a sin
gular reticence on the part Of the State
Department officials. suddenly developed in
connection with the situation and espe-
cially with reference to the German bonn
bardments which may be significant of the
gravity with which they view the situa-
ton.
There is no longer any talk of exerting
friendly influences to prevent these bonn
bardments but IL Is difficult for the depart
ment to answer congressional callers who
are asking for reasonable explanation
An annoying feature Of the situation is the
probability thai there may be more seri-
Gus interference with Minister Bowen's
mission, in which the United States. though
not officially concerned, is deeply interest
ed. There were rumors afloat to the effect
that the State Department had taken steps
to point out TO the foreign offices at Lon
don, Berlin and Rome its views on this
subject, but this could not be confirmed.
and to-day it was stated that at present
the attitude OF the United States must be
one of patient waiting.
When news of the renewal of the bonn
bardment reached here tonight IL was
stated that the action of the Germans was
incomprehensible TO officials of the admins
tration. They are casting about for a mo-
tive for this hostile action, but declare
themselves unable to find one unless ii be
a simple desire on the part of the Germans
to make a show of force and recover what
little prestige may have been lost In the
retreat of the ship Panther when she was
compelled to retire after Smelling the same
fort several days ago. This last act of the
Germans it is suggested adds picturesque
feature to the whole blockading affair and
gives to them an opportunity to demon
strate the effectiveness of Germany S naval
strength on the Venezuelan coast. The
bombardment has created decidedly un-
favorable impression here and a feeling OF
genuine regret at time when negotiations
looking to settlement of the differences
between Venezuela and her European
claimants seems almost under way.

TRIAL OF COLONEL LYNCH.
Court Holds the Alleged Traitor II
Not Protected by Naturalization Act.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The court In which
Col. Arthur Lynch. member of Parliament
for Galway, is being tried on the charge
of high treason was again crowded to-day.
After reading the deposition OF an Ameri-
can. Lewis Handley. who said Colonel
Lynch had compelled him to take up arms
In behalf of the Beers al Glencoe, but who
had got off through the intervention of the
american consul, counsel for the defense
submitted that the prisoner was protected
by the naturalization laws He claimed that
a man was entitled to become an alien at
any time. even after the outbreak of the
war. He referred TO the war of independ-
ence: said there were at least 5000 men Of
British birth in the American mercantile
marine and asserted that there were 2O.OO
600 people living in America who possessed
the two nationalities. Counsel contended
that Colonel Lynch took up arms In be-
half of the Transvaal people without secret
and with the mistaken belief that the
naturalization act permitted this. In any
event, counsel added, that IL the court de-
cided the prisoner was a British subject he
ought to be tried in Australia, where he
was born.
The attorney general. Sir Robert Finlay.
replying for the prosecution. argued that
Colonel Lynch procured naturalizat ton for
the purpose OF fighting against his own
country. and added that even could nat
uralization cover the prisoners subsequent
actions IL could not cover his anterior rea-
son. namely. adhering 10 the Queen S
enemy and declaring his willingness to
fight against her forces"
The court decided that the naturalization
act afforded no defense In the present case.
Naturalization was preceded by taking an
oath of allegiance TO the enemy. which
was a reasonable action. The case was
then adjourned.

STRENGTH OF THE STATEHOOD BILL.

The vote on the statehood bill in the
Senate on Wednesday shows that 1t has
virtual majority made up of all the Demo-
Gratis and a few Republicans under the lead
of Senator Quay. So indefensible a meas
ure has rarely been before Congress. One
Territory with a non-American and largely
illiterate population. and another Terri
lation for a representative, are to be adj
mitted to the Union and each given as
much power In the Senate as has Indiana
or New York. 1t is perversion of the
theory of popular government and of the
balance In legislation given to States
There can be no argument in favor of the
admission OF these Territories, except that
some designing person slipped into the last
national Republican convention a resolu-
ton pledging Republicans to that policy,
which few noticed at the time.
But why is every Democratic senator in
favor of this impolitic and mischievous
measure? Why this alliance between the
senator whom Democrats most denounce
on general principles? There is no doubt
about Senator Quay's reasons for favoring
the bill. since he usually avows them. In
this case the leading incentive for his ac-
tivity in the matter is that he desires a
friend of his, Mr.. Andrew, who lives In
New Mexico, 10 become United States SEN
| ator. Mr.. Quay's colleague favors the bill
because the railroad interests of relative
| in Arizona will be promoted by statehood
| These are not exalted reasons for pushing
| Territories into the Union. but they must
be better than those of most OF the Demo
Gratis. Doubtless the Democratic senators
argue to themselves that they will get
more than half the members of the Senate
when these Territories shall become States
which will compensate them for repeating
the folly committed In the case OF Nevada
and OF new and untried folly of admitting
TO the Union State without an American
or an intelligent population.

GERMANY AND VENEZUELA.

The second bombardment of FIT San Car
los. near Maracaibo, and the Smelling of the
town by German warships will complicate
the Venezuelan question and prove irritat-
ing to the American people. In fact. it is diff
ficult to account for the conduct of Ger
many in this whole business on grounds
consistent with good faith and fair play.
1t has been evident from the beginning
that Germany drew Great Britain into a
joint scheme to bully a weak power in
the throes of revolution. and that she has
been determined to go as far as possible
without eliciting a protest from the United
States. The >so-called pacific blockade.
which has proved to be only a mask for
war, originated with Germany and her
warships have made it as offensive as
possible. England has acted lately as
though she were rather ashamed of the
whole business, but the German warships
have conducted themselves in particular
ly offensive manner. 1t would be interest
ing to know what kind of orders they have
that enable the imperial government to dis
claim knowledge of their acts while they
continue to do the most offensive things.
1t was hoped and expected when the agree
ment was made to submit the matter to
arbitration, that the blockade would be
raised, but Germany objected to that. Now
States Minister Bowen for arbitration it
comes pretty near being an insult to the
United States for the German warships to
continue their attacks, thus prosecuting
war while the United States is trying to
bring about peace. 1t looks very much as
If Germany preferred continued compli-
cations, and as If the commanders of the
warships had secret orders to time their
attacks SO as to have the most detrimental
effect on the success of the negotiations
undertaken by Minister Bowen. 1t must be
remembered, also, that Germany was fore
most in suggesting arbitration without
reference to The Hague tribunal, thus CIV
ing rise to the suspicion that she thought
it would be easier to prolong or defeat
a conference in Washington than at The
Hague. Again, it was announced from Ber-
lin a few days ago that the new German
dinpdsSduor Hdu pOStponeu his SAILING,
| which had been set for JAM 20, several
days. AS the conference cannot begin till
| he arrives in Washington this looks like
| part of a purpose to delay it. Meanwhile
the German warships continue their unpro-
voked attacks on Venezuelan forts and
| towns as If that could expedite the pay
ment of her claims or the progress of arbi-
tration. If this conduct raises a suspicion
| of Interior motives on the part of Ger
many she has herself to thank for it. 1t is
the power in Europe whose motives
Americans distrust in spite of friendly
protestations, princely visits and gifts
Germany is great enough to be magnanim
Gus. but her conduct towards Venezuela has
been that of an overbearing bully toward:
a cripple.

BERLIN, Jan. 22.-The Foreign Office is
very impatiently awaiting official news from
Maracaibo. The German newspapers ex-
press anna cement at the fact that the gov
eminent has not arranged for prompt in
formation, particularly in view of the ner-
vousness of public opinion in the United

General Boguslowsky, the well-known
writer on military matters. discussing the
press kilograms, says: 1.-THE commander of
the Panther in the first incident was merely
making the blockade effective on his station
by seeking to prevent the carriage of coffee
through Colombia. The second lombard
ment was probably intended to chastise the
insolence of the Venezuelans and their ex-
ultation over the first affair.""
Both the Foreign Office and Navy Depart
ment declare that no orders were given to

but they did not anticipate a lombard

ingly that it is unable to publish a report on

without information. through defective
means of communication by way of Cura-
Gao and owing to the German consul at
Maracaibo being cut off from reporting by
cable to the authorities at Berlin. The Off
Gals admit that the incident is likely to
renew "anti-German agitation in the United
States" and say they recognize the disad-
vantage Germany is placed in through the
impossiblity of getting prompt reports from
Venezuela. The Foreign Office does not even
know what was the purpose of the Panther
in its first action against San Carlos.

BRITONS IN THE DARK.


LONDON, Jan. 22.-The British govern
ment is entirely In the dark regarding the
reasons for the aggressive action of the
German naval authorities in again bonn
harding Fort San Carlos at the entrance
of Lake Maracaibo. The Foreign Office Of
ficials here are apprehensive Of the result
of the bombardment. They say that no
decision has yet been reached on the ques-
ton Of the suspension of the blockade. 1t
was hoped that matters would have pro-
crossed further 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 bombardment of San Carlos APP
pears In the st. James Gazette, which re-
pudiates the aggressiveness of the Germans
and saws Ii trusts the Americans will
understand that the German proceedings
are as little approved by the British ma
ton as by themselves"
The diplomatic circles are much aroused
by the news Of the bombardment, but the
officials of the various embassies seem
equally as ignorant as the Foreign Office
regarding its cause. The belief prevails
that the step taken by the Germans will
seriously delay the settlement of the ques-
tons in dispute. There are many indica-
tions that the blockade will not be raised
for the present, and that the negotiations
at Washington will proceed with perhaps
a modified form OF blockade some sim
liar arrangement as the preliminary basis.
