REBELS DRIVEN OUT OF a PORT
VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENT SOL
plERs WIN "A QUICK VIC
TORY.

London, Jan. 1O.-President Castro's
reply to the powers accepting the ar.
bitration conditions of the allies was
delivered to the foreign Office yester
day afternoon by Craig Wadsworth
third secretary of the United States
embassy.
Mr.. White, the charge d'affaires, is
i'll and has been in the country most OF
the week. The reply is regarded as
having much more finality than ex,
pected and as definitely settling the
submission of all the difficulties to ar.
bitratiOn.
1t was said at the foreign office that
President Castro's reply was entirely
acceptable to Great Britain.
The question of the time for raising
the blockade of the Venezuelan coast
has not been decided, but is being dis.
cussed between London and Berlin.
May Be Arranged In Washington.
Berlin, Jan. 10.-President Castro's
acceptance of the arbitration condi-
tions of the allied powers was received
yesterday at the foreign office here,
where it is regarded as being a long
step toward a settlement of the ques-
lions in dispute. The foreign Office
hopes that most of the points will be
arranged amicably at the preliminary
discussion at Washington before
reaching The Hague tribunal.
Rebels Are Worsted.
Caracas, Jan. 10.-The port of Tu-
cacas was reoccppied yesterday by
forces of the Venezuelan government
after fight with the revolutionists of
one hours duration. Tucacas, which
is about forty miles northwest of
Puerto Cabello, has been occupied for
the last four months by the revolu-
tionists. 1t lately has been the point
where much of the goods and ammu-
milton struggled over from the island
of Curacao have been landed. The
revolutionary force under Gen. Ramos,
which was defeated last Sunday near
Guatire. has dispersed. The march of
the rebels upon Caracas. via Guatire,
has been completely checked.

SHOOTS TOO STRAIGHT.
American Gunner's Shot Skaters the
TARGET.

American runners SnOL SnatterS the
Target.
San Francisco, Jan. 10.-Extraordin-
airy accuracy in craftsmanship cut
short the heavy gun practice at the
Presidio. The 12-inch guns were to be
brought into play and there was a
wooden structure, pyramidal in shape,
about twelve feet long at each base
line and about eight feet high. 1t was
towed oceanward by tug with long
tow line, and while moving at seven
miles an hour was to be fired on.
When the target was about three miles
from shore and under tow it appeared
to be, about the size of a mans hand.
1t was then that Corporal Regain fired
Pinch gun. The shot struck about
eight yards astern of the moving
mark. Carefully Regan aimed the
second missile, and scarcely had the
roar of the discharge ceased when the
target disappeared. The shot had hit
"the enemy" amidship and shattered it
into splinters.

Fargo. N. D.. Jan. 10. Fargo has
had another 100000 fire. The loss is
about three-fourths covered by insur-
ance. The Edwards block. the largest
in the city and the newest, was de-
stroyed by fire which started at 3:45
yesterday afternoon.
The building was put up two years
ago at a cost Of $4,000. 1t was, owned
by Alexander Stern and named after
Maj Edwards, theiveteran editor. The
block was fully covered by insurance,
as were the rents. The chief losers
were Elsinger & Co, who had a de-
partment store known as the Golden
Rule. They are said to have carried
100000 stock, which was somewhat
sold down in holiday time and about
half insured.
The structure was three-storv.
with a basement. on the corner of
Broadway and Northern Pacific ave-
nue., and was largely used for Offices
and apartments. There were twenty
nine business places and offices and
about a dozen tenants in apartments.
There were a lot of Insurance.. real
estate and loan offices, and Pierie's
cafe, the popular restaurant of the
city. The fire started in the basement
of the Golden Rule among some arti-
cles that were slowed away after Holt
day sales. The flames ignited under
the first floor and were hard to ex-
tinguish and the firemen were handi-
capped by insufficient apparatus. The
Moorhead department assisted, and
the Casselton department arrived later
with an engine. The entire block was
threatened for some hours. but lack of
wind gave the firemen an opportunity
to save the other buildings.
One of the cables CT the Western
Union was burned off and has inter-
rupted service badly. Telephone SER
vice is considerably crippled by
burned cables and poles.

these certainly do not exist in this
case.

London, Jan. 10.-The latest reports
from Tangier, purporting to describe
the situation at Fee. are somewhat of
an alarming character. The Times
does no go beyond saying that when
the latest dispatches left the Moroc-
coan capital, Jan 4, matters were un-
doubtedly serious. The rebels were
then nearing Fee. A dispatch to the
Morning Leader from Fee says that
the most serious news was received
there last evening-the sultan, jealous
of the growing popularity of his broth
err, whom he had created chief of the
army after his release from prison, has
ordered that he again be imprisoned.
The people of Fee had already begun
to salute Muley Mohammed as sultan.
The dispatch adds that there are the
gravest possibilities in the situation,
and the sultans position is most crit
ical.
