German warships Pass the Fort.

La Guayra, Venezuela, Jan. %
Reports received here from Maracaibo
this morning state that the attack of the
German warships on Fort San Carlos has
been successful. The gunboats Panther
and Fake, it is said, have succeeded in
passing the fort, have entered Lake
Maracaibo and have caItIrel the Vene-
zuelan gunboat Miranda. The capture
of this vessel and the desire to end the
traffic which has been carried on with
Colombia, despite the blockade, were the
primary objects of the bombardment.
The Panther tried it alone last Saturday,
but was met with such fierce fire from
the fort that she was compelled to with
draw. A secondary object of the bonn
bardment yesterday was revenge for the
defeat of the Panther. 1t is reported
that the men in the garrison were finally
driven from their guns, the fort having
been reduced, and that the village OF
San Carlos was burned as a result Of the
bombardment. The warship's mark
manship was bad and it took more than
three hours to reduce the little antiquated
fort. The explosion of one of the an
Gent guns in the fort helped the Ger

Emperor and Socialists.

Berlin, Jan. 22.-In the Reichstag
today, social democrat Herr Bebel
severely criticised the Kaiser for his
speeches to the laborers of Essen and
Breslau, after Baron Krupp's death. He
protested strongly against the Kaiser S
insults to the social democrats and de-
clared they were improper. President
Ballestrom called Bebel to order because
of his use of the word Improper" but
finally allowed him to continue. Bebel
proceeded to attack the Crown Prince,
and bitterly asked: "What merits has
this Young man to enable him to criticise
the socialists, and refer to them as miser-
able? We accept that insulting word as
a title of honor" Chancellor Won Bue-
low replied: "The socialists have no
right to complain of the Kaiser, because
they themselves are perpetually i'm
properly criticising the Kaisers doings. "

A REPORT comes from Richmond to
the effect that members of the legislature
are anxious for the Campbell investiga-
ton to come to an end as it is more than
probable that nothing will be done in
the matter. This was predicted from
the start, and why the legislature ever
had anything to do with the case is pass
ing strange. Instead of attending to the
public business and going home, the
legislature is dragging its slow length
along with the apparent intention OF
killing time. No wonder resolution
TO adjourn next May was voted down
yesterday.

Condemned Man Shoots Hangman

Madrid, Jan. ga workman named
Julian Martin, condemned to be hanged
at Segovia for assassination, recently,
when mounting the scaffold drew a pistol
and shot the hangman. He did not es-
cape, for the hangman's assistant carried
out the execution. The possession OF
the revolver by the convicted man led to
an inquiry with the result that the hang
mans assistant was arrested on charge
of having supplied the pistol so as to get
the hangman's job. The position of
hangman is one greatly coveted, as it
pays 1865 salary, a large amount of
money in Spain. An idea of the way
the post is coveted may be obtained from
the fact that recently there were 227 APP
plicants for vacancy in the province of
Seville, the applicants including several
LAWYERS and physicians.

the interest of Mr.. Addicks. This time
he opposes the regular republicans join
inc with the democrats for the election
of republican and democrat as

terday received a telegram from Chair

dressed to Representative Finn and

in the legislature to refrain from voting
for a democrat for United States Sena'
tor. Certainly the party is entitled to
the fruits of its victory"
The "others" referred to in the mes
sage are the regular republican colleagues
of Mr.. Finn. Inasmuch as Senator
Hanna did all in his power to bring
about the election of Mr.. Addicks two
years ago, and is known to be the union
republican leaders friend, his advice SC
far has not had any weight with the
regulars. Were they men cast in the

THURSDAY EVENING. JAN. %. 1908.

A DISPATCH sent out from Washing
ton saws: "There seems to be a general
opinion here that the presentation by
Virginia of a statue of Robert +. Lee to
the United States government for the
Statuary Hall of the Capitol would stir
up a good bit of sectional feeling, and
the belief is everywhere prevalent that
the only proper course to pursue IN the
matter is to first be assured that the
statue would be accepted by the govern
ment, if under the act of Congress the
power of acceptance or rejection lies with
the government, which is matter OF
doubt" The very idea Of sectional
feeling being stirred up by the sugges-
ton of Virginia placing the statue OF her
most illustrious son in the Statuary Hall
of the Capitol, shows the folly OF the
talk about "brotherly love" between the
two sections. Lee was the greatest and
purest soldier of his age and against him
no one has yet said aught. He resigned
his position in the federal army to cast
his destiny with that Of his State-fol-
lowing the very teachings of the text
books he used at West Portland this
won him more glory and fame than if he
had been the commander Of the United
States armies, which position was ten
dered him. But the very idea OF Vir-
giuia having to petition for the privi-
lege of placing the statue of her hero in
the national Statuary Hall, at the
risk of having the petition refused,
should put an effectual stop to the pro-
posed presentation. The South is
wide enough for statues of Lee and here
he will be loved and his memory revered

REMARKABLE X-RAY CURES. The
cures that are being and have been per-
formed in the Boston City Hospital since
the X-ray plant was established there
about six years ago have astonished the
physicians. Diseases which have baf-
fled the medical and surgical fraternity
for years have been treated successfully
by means of the X-rays. Faces SCARED
with surface cancers have been healed
perfectly and skin diseases, from which
the patients had suffered in many in
stances all their lives, have been cured.
A child had eczema on the face, arms
aud legs. After few exposures to the
X-rays of 10 minutes each the eruption
disappeared and the child's health was
improved wonderfully. A striking in
stance of the value of the Y-rays in some
forms of cancer of the breasts illustrated
by the case of a woman who was pa
tient some months since on the surgical
side of the hospital. Her surgeon was
of the opinion that the extent of the
disease was so great as to make an opera
ton of no avail. After treatment by the
X-rays the large cancerous area soitened
and healed.

secretly communicate with other parts of
the world, unimpeded by the Italian

SAN CARLOS sHELLED.

A dispatch from Maracaibo, Vene-
zuela, says three German war YES
sells, supposed to be the Panther,
vineta, and Sake, began Smelling the
fort of San Carlos at 1890 yesterday
morning. The fort returned the fire.
The engagement was in progress at l
O'Clock that afternoon.
A press correspondent, in a rowboat,
approached to within three miles of the
fort at noon. The roar of the guns was
terrific The Panther appeared TO be
not more than 500 yards from the fort.
Her guns we're being fired every minute.
The fort could not be seen for the
clouds of smoke, but it was PLAIN that
the Venezuelan gunners were answer
ing the Germans fire splendidly and
with great rapidity.
At / o'clock in the afternoon an ex-
plosion occurred, apparently in the fort,
and denser cloud of smoke covered
port of the ramparts. A number OF
Indian fishermen were intercepted fee
ing from the direction of the fort in
their dugout canoes. They reported
that the smoke seen was from the burn
ing village Of San Carlos, which had
been shelled by the German ships and
was in flames.
The shelling OF San Carlos has created
much excitement among the German
residents of: the port, who have pro
tested against the action of the war
ships.

from the old to the new method of think.
