There were seven men at the EsSWer

the watchman, named DIETRICH, was
thrown bodily through window and
M. l.. Lester was badly pummelled
and gashed by brickbats, stones and

several arrests. Among those arrested

GERMANY ASKS FOR CASH.

Requests Money Before 1t is Due
Under Terms of Agreement.
Washington, Feb. 23.-The German
government, through it's representa-
tive, Baron Won Sternburg, has made
request of Mr.. Bowen for the imme-
diate payment of the G5,500 which it
was stipulated in the protocol signed
on Feb. 13 should be paid within thirty
days from that date, as a preliminary
to the raising of the blockade against
Venezuelan ports and the agreement
to send the question of preferential
treatment of the blockading nations to
The Hague for determination. Mr..
Bowen promptly declined to accede to
the request, but informed Baron Won
Sternburg that as provided in the pro-
tocol the money would be paid to
the German representative at Caracas
thirty days from Feb 13, which would
be on the 14th of March.
The reason that animated the Ger
man government in making the re-
quest is not disclosed here, nor is Mr..
Bowen aware of it. The matter, how
ever, has some significance perhaps,
in view of the fact that the ships
taken by the Germans during the
blockade have not yet been returned
to Venezuela.
During the day Mr.. Bowen had calls
from the French ambassador, M. JUS
serand; the Spanish minister. Senior
Ojeda, and the Belgian minister Baron
MOnphaur in rapar rd to tho protooo1c
that are In preparation for the settle
ment of the claims of the citizens Of
their countries against Venezuela.
Rough drafts of these instruments are
on their way by mail to the European
governments interested. The pro-
tocols are expected to reach their
destination the latter part of this
week, pending which no final steps
for their joint signature can be taken.

New Type of Submarine Graft.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The submarine
torpedo boat Protector, a new type of
vessel which will shortly be put
through series of trials for the pur-
