WHY THEY REITERATED.
The Germans Loaded Their Guns With
Limburser and Sauerkraut.
lFrom the New York Times

In Fort San Carlos the Venezuelan
garrison were pluckily withstanding
the steady fire from the German war
ships. Shell after shell had exploded
around them, men wounded or dead
,ay here and there, yet manfully they
stuck to their guns and knew no fear.
DO your worst" cried General Bello
hoarsely, shaking his fist at the flame
belching ships riding beyond the bar.
And though the brave Venezuelan
knew it not, the worst was already
coming his way.
From the smoke clouded gun deck
of the German flagship Brave Bill'
Pilsener, gunner's mate, had climbed
70 the bridge, where the squadron COM
mander in vexation was pacing back
and forth.

left in the hold. and l would suggest
that we load some of our shells with

The German commander recoiled at
first from so diabolical and uncivilized
a method of warfare, but he was bent
on victory. and in the end he yielded
to the idea.
Behind the defiantly laundering
walls of the fort General Bello was
making an encouraging speech to his
men.
Remember the customs receipts, y
he concluded in a burst of patriotism
and a cheer went up from the powder
coated Threats of his men.
Just then the first of the limburger
