an immediate punishment for this at
tack, the more so as the Venezuelan
government had proclaimed it a vic
tory, / bombarded the fort with the

There's an Unveracity Somewhere.
MaracaibO, Jan. 24.-At 2 p. m. yes
terday Fort San Carlos was in the
possession of the government forces
and the b~ombardment by the German
w%arships was still going on. There
was no material change in the situa-
ton. The gunboat Panther was the
only vessel 20 come inside the bar.
Communication with the fort Is very
difficult. Great excitement prevails in
Maracaibo.
Berlin, Jan. 24.-The correspondent
of the Associated Press has received
written replies from the chief Of the
foreign Office to three questions:
why Did They Bombsrd the Fort?
/. why did the ships lombard Fort
San Carlos?" Answer-"Oficial news
regarding the Panther's reasons for
forcing the entrance of the lagoon Of
Maracaibo has not yet been received.
So far as the situation can be under.
stood from here the seizure Of the
lagoon was necessary to al effective
blockade of the harbor Of Maracaibo.
Otherwise it would nave been possible
to convey all sorts of merchandise over
the adjacent Colombian frontier, par
ticularly arms and provisions, across
the lagoon to Maracaibo, and thence
inland. thus rendering the blockade
completely futile. Apparently Fort
San Carlos tried to prevent the ell
trance of the Panther into the lagoon.
and 1t must have been therefore neces-
sary to silence it."
Reason in This Case Obvious.
2. "Why did the German ships alone
take part in the commandments" An
swer-'The fact that only German
ships took part in the bombardment
is obviously explained. Maracaibo har-
Dor lies in the western part Of thecoast
line, which vas being blockaded by
the German forces"
8. when will the blockade be
raised?" Answer-'No decision has
yet been reached by the interested
powers as 20 when the blockade of the
Venezuelan coast shall be raised"

Maracaibo, Jan. 23.-The lombard

ernoon until 6 o'clock. 1t was re-
sumed yesterday morning at d%aybreak.
Seven or eight shells were hurled at

being of light draught, closed in and
again became actively engaged. The
fort replied. At S a. m. the engage
ment was proceeding as fercely as
ever. Twelve dead and fifteen baGl!
wounded Venezuelan soldiers were
counted in the fort at I p. m. Wednes-
day by the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press. The correspondent left
the fort for the mainland at s a. III.
yesterday.
Description of Wednesday, Battle.
The Panther left her position close
into Fort San Carlos, which she took
up earlier in the day Wednesday, that
afternoon at 3 o'clock and joined the
Fake. This ship was half a mile out
side the bar and about five miles from
the fort. At 3 o'clock the correspondent
of the Associated Press in a rowboat
of range, and from this point wit
messed the long range fire of the Ger
man cruisers. which was continued
from 3 until & O'Clock. The Vineta
and Fake, at a range of four anG
a half miles, poured in a continuous
rain Of shell upon the fort, and only
stopped firing with the advent of dusk
at 6 o'clock.
Attempt to Land Troops.
PefOre drawing off they made a sec
ond Intellectual attempt to land troops
in the village of San Carlos, situate
at the base OF the fort. At Z o'clocl

the island and entered the fort. The
walls of the fort are terribly battered
and there Were many evidences Of the
fierce engagement.
Magazine Has Narrow Escapes.
The fort is literally covered with
pieces of broken shells. 1t was seen
that a great many Of the German
shells had not exploded. The maya
zine had a very narrow escape, two
shells having come within an ace of
penetrating 1t. The walls of the fort
which face toward the entrance Of the
lake suffered particularly and were
greatly damaged. 1t Is estimated by
the commandant, General Bello. tina
the German ships fired than 1,60t
shells at Fort San Carlos.

I'm Energetic Action.
Berlin, Jan. 24.-In the reichstag
Foreign Secretary Won Richthofen ex-
pressed the hope that the Venezuelan
difficulties would soon be settled. He
said: The negotiations at Washing
ton, it is hoped, will show an early
result, rendering it possible to raise the
blockade. So long as the blockade ex-
lists, however, respect for it must be
enforced. The action against Mara
caibo was undertaken for this yur-
pose"
Continuing, the foreign secretary
said. referring to the negotiations pre-
vious to the ultimatum: I'm a note of
our charge d'affaires Ito the Venezue-
Ian government1, July 16. 1901, the
following language was used: The
proposition which 1 have the honor of
submitting verbally to your excellency
is the following: The Venezuelan gov
eminent on part, and the imperial
minister resident on the other part,
are each to select n representative,
who shall Jointly examine the claims
of German citizens growing out of the
civil wars IN every Ease where both
representatives agree on the payment
of an indemnity 1T must be paid imme-
diately.
In cases where they fail to reach
an agreement the matter shall become
the. subject of several conferences be-
tween the Venezuelan government and
German minister resident Should
the conferences also reach no result
then some outside authority, like TIT
Hague international court Of arbftra
ton, must be selected to settle the dis
puted cases.
1.-THE idea Of submitting the matter
to The Hague court therefore dates
from July, 1901. President Castro die

pOsal"
