The fort returned the fire. The en-

boat. approached to within three miles
of the fort at noon. The roar of the
guns was terrific The Panther APP
peared to be not more than 500 yards
from the fort. Her guns were fired
every few minutes. The fort could
not be seen for the clouds of smoke,
but it was plain that the Venezuelan
gunners were answering the German
fire splendidly and with great rapid
ity.
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon an ex-
plosion occurred apparently in the
fort and a cloud of smoke covered
part of the ramparts. A number of
Indian fishermen were intercepted flee
ing from the direction of the fort in
their dugout canoes. They reported
that the smoke seen was from the
burning village of San Carlos. which
had been shelled by the German ships
and was in flames.
The Smelling of San Carlos has Gre
ated much excitement among the Ger
man residents of this port, who have
protested against the action of the
warships.
London, jan 22.-The news of the
second bombardment of Fort San Car
los reached London too late to be
printed in the papers of Thursday
morning, which nearly all comment
upon the "Olive branch" which tho
German chancellor, Count Won Buelo~,
is holding out to Great Britain in mis-
speech and in the reichstag, and upon
the difficulties in which a chancellor
who is obliged to defend his imperial
masters acts without being RESPONSE
BILE for them become involved.
President CastrO's demand that the
blockade be raised before the negOtia-
lions are opened is regarded here as
certain to create further delays, and
the belief has been expressed that the
second bombardment of the Maracaibo
fort will greatly increase the difficult
ties of the situation

AUSTRIAN MANUFACTURERS.
They Discussed Participation in the St
Louis Exposition.

Vienna, Jan 22.-At the request of
the government, the Vienna chamber
of commerce Wednesday convened a
meeting of Austrian expert manufac-
turers to discuss participation in the
ST Louis exposition. Representatives
of many prominent firms were pres
ent. The debate was long one and
had special reference to the possibility
of selling goods in the United States
in the face of the high tariff. Sixty
seven manufacturers engaged in the
export trade signified their willing
ness to send exhibits to ST. Louis. The
general feeling was expressed, how
ever, that only such classes of manu-
facturers should participate in the ey-
position who reasonably could hope to
meet the tariff situation, thus avoiding
a repetition of the disappointment
which was experienced by many of the
firms that exhibited at Philadelphia
and Chicago without the slightest
chance of doing business in America.

BRIBERY CHARGED.
Alleged Attempt to Influence Con-
CHEESEMAN'S Vote.

Washington, Jan. 22-Through a
subcommittee the house committee on
naval affairs is investigating an allie
cation of attempt to bride one of it's
members. The charge is made by
representative Lessler, of New York
who says he was approached with an
offer of $4,000 The object of the Of
member of the committee, to propo-
sition for an appropriation for addi-
tional submarine torpedo boats. The
sensation developed when, during a
discussion of the Holland torpedo
boats, Mr.. Lessler, who was opposing
the statement that he had been offered
subsidy to change his sentiments.
The subcommittee of the house
committee on naval affairs, which is
investigating the charge made by Rep
resentative Lessler, of New York, that
he had been approached for the pur-
pose of influencing his action as a
member of the committee on the prop
osition to authorize the construction
of submarine torpedo boats, will make
at least partial report to the fell
committee Thursday morning
Mr.. LESSER was again before the
subcommittee Wednesday at both the
morning and afternoon sessions, and
submitted to a rather vigorous cross
examination. 1t was with some re-
luctance that he disclosed names in
connection with the charges he made
of improper attempts to influence his
vote, but finally on pressure gave two
names. One of the persons named,
he said, threatened him with defeat
at the last election if he did not vote
as desired on certain propositions
The other name he used in connection
with his charges of an attempt to in.
fluence his vote by pecuniary consid-
erations. Mr.. Lessler's charges are
said to have lacked defniteness, when
he was Intercepted by members Of
the subcommittee The substance OF
his story was not that he had been
actually offered bride of $4,000, but
that it had been intimated to him that
he could get $4,000 if he would vote
right" The members of the sub-cOm-
mittee Wednesday continued to OBJ
serve the pledge of secrecy, they had
taken and Mr.. LESSER himself declin-
ed to make any statement for publica-
tion
