GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS.
New Method Of Operation of Canal At
tracts Much Interest.

The business men Of Georgetown who are
more directly interested in the proposed
new method of the management and OPERA
ton OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal ex-
press much hesitancy in referring to this
joint move on the part Of the shippers and
official Of the canal They say at this time
the scheme is in it's infancy and that is is
being thoroughly considered by the individ-
ual boatmep of the waterway, who are ex-
pected to answer the proposition of the new
combination within a few days.
Some Of the boatmen are inclined to favor
the proposition of receiving 500 a month
for their services. while others demur. de-
clartng that II they are compelled to nav a
crew they will lose. The latter say. that
according to the proposition of the canal
company, 1t would cost SIS a month for a
steersman and $12 each for two drivers,
making total for hire of $40 a month In
addition to this they say that the board of
a crew costs from $40 to $24 a month. which
would bring the actual expense of operat-
Ing boat to about 1914. leaving the captain
about $34 for his service. Under the sys-
tenn now in vogue some of the boatmen earn
more 1t is understood, than that amount.
According to late advices the new syndi-
cate has purchased all the boats owned by
the Consolidated Coal Company and those
of H. c. Winship. Negotiations, 1t is said.

tens boats. The shippers refuse to give

policy or to say whether or not they will

Gen. Riera Wounded.

Gen. Riera, who showed great personal
bravery during the fight, is reported to
have been wounded in the leg. He Is now
fleeing in the direction of Paraguana, and
he will probably embark for Curacao The
government troops lost ten killed. The
houses in the Coro are riddled with bull
lets.
The victory of the government at Coro
Is held up here as proof that the revo-
luton Is far from being as successful as
represented at Willemstad where the rev.
dictionary headquarters are.
Gen. Veluntini, who has arrived at Ma
cuto. near La Guaira, from Barcelona,
after having eluded the vessels of the
blockading powers, reports that the gov
eminent has 5000 men with which to op-
pose the revolutionists in the Barcelona
district.
1t is known here that two schooners sue
ceeded January 16 in landing arms and
ammunition for the use of the revolution
lists under Gen. Rera at a point on the
coast near Coro. The fact that these
schooners were overhauled by an Italian
cruiser before they had the munition of
war on board and that they succeeded In
passing the blockade when loaded with
arms and ammunition for the revolutions
lists Is quoted in Caracas as proof of the
truth of the frequent statements to the
effect that the blockading powers are in
terested In aiding the revolutionists.
