Venezuelan Problem Rapidly Drawing
to a Close.

Venezuelan Problem Rapidly Drawing
to Close.
Washington, Jan. 27.-Up to the
close of the day formal notice of the
acceptance Of the proposition had
not come to Mr.. Bowen from the rep
resentatives of the allies here. How.
ever, such unofficial information as
reached Mr.. Bowen confirmed him in
the belief that the pending controversy
would be settled "soon and satisfac-
torily." 1t is learned that the Italian
government all along has favored an
honorable compromise and has let it's
allies know the favor with which it re-
garded the Bowen proposition, while
protesting willingness to defer to their
views in the matter. It developed dur
ing the day that the proportion of the
customs dues collected at La Guayra
and Puerto Cabello to be paid to the
allies is 80 per cent These two ports
collect a large part Of the total GUS
toms receipts of the country. Under
this arrangement probably cash pay
ment can be dispensed with, as the
customs receipts would quickly defray
the pressing individual claims of the
allies.
The lifting of the blockade would
not mean the complete withdrawal
from American waters of the allied
fleet and it is understood that not only
will the British-American feet remain
in its accustomed winter quarters in
the Caribbean, but that the German
government will depart from it's
ancient policy, which has been to get
along without station fleets, and will
continue the present squadron in Amer
ican waters as a permanent feet.

SHELLS FELL SHORT
San Carlos Village Suffered and Many
People Killed.

People Killed.
Maracaibo, Jan. 23.-At Z O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon the Associated
Press correspondent landed on the
island and entered the fort. The walls
of the fort are terribly battered and
there were many evidences of the
fierce engagement. Twelve dead Ven
ezuelan soldiers were counted behind
the ramparts and fifteen other men,
seriously wounded, were lying on a
low platform.
The fort is literally covered with
pieces of broken shells. It was seen
that great many of the German shells
had not exploded. The magazine had
a very narrow escape, two shells hav-
ing come within an ace of penetrating
it. The walls of the fort that face to-
wards the entrance of the lake suffered
particularly and were greatly damaged.
It is estimated by the commandant,
General Bello, that the German ships
fired more than 1000 shells at Fort
San Carlos.
Although the damage inflicted upon
the fort by the sustained fire of the
German cruisers is very great, it is not
all that could be expected from such a
continuous fire from modern high
power guns.
The village of Fort San Carlos suf-
fered severely. A great portion Of the
fire of the war vessels fell short, so
per cent of their shells exploding in
the village before reaching the fort.
A fisherman from the village OF, San
Carlos has arrived here insa canoe
with his family. Two. of this mans
children were killed by shells from the
German cruisers. He reports that
more than twenty-five Indian Fishermen
have been killed or wounded. at San:
Carlos. The fishermen there are help

VAL COMMITTEE HE GAVE
FALSE TESTIMONY.


Vote on Submarine Boat Bill-Now
He Specifically Denies All Alleged
Attempts at Bribery. -
washington, Jan. 27.-Philip Dobl1n,
who testified before the house commit
tee on naval affairs Saturday that he
had approached Representative Lessler
of New York with an offer of money. to
influence his vote on the submarine
boat bill and who made the further
statement that he had been told there
might be $1,000 in it for him, made the
astounding statement before that COM
mittee during the day that he made
statements Saturday which were not
true and that he wanted to retract his
statement that Mr. Quigg had rendered
a bribe to him..
The statement came without any
previous warning that Doblin intended
making any such retractiDn. Members
of the committee looked at one another
in amazement as Doblin went on with
his statement.
Gustavus Rogers, an attorney, arose
in the committee room after the first
witness had left the stand during the
morning and said he appeared for Mr..
.Doblin, who had stated to him that he
(Doblin) had made some statements
Saturday which were true and some
which were false and held in his hand
a statement to which Mr.. Doblin had
sworn. The committee was unanimou5
in agreeing that Doblin appear in per-
son forthwith. He was called and
made specific denial of all statements
he had previously made wherein he
alleged attempts at bribery. He was
rigidly cross-examined by practically
every member of the committee and
pressed vigorously for explanation Of
his action, but persisted that he was
telling the truth and adhered to his
denials. When Doblin had left the
stand, the committees programme,
which contemplated calling DR.. w. R.
Kerr to the stand, was abandoned, and
it went into secret session. Some
Of the members, in view of the re-
markable developments, favored the
dropping of the investigation, but
others urged that it be continued.
1t is understood that Mr.. Lessler
asked that he be permitted to make
a statement and said that he had
another witness he would call, where
upon the committee decided to meet
again at 10:30 in the morning.
Representative Lessler was present
in the committee room when Doblin
gave his testimony.
