REBELS TROUNCED.
President Castro Is Displaying Great
Activity.


Caracas. Jan. 5.-The financial panic
here has been momentarily arrested
by an agreement between the leading
traders of Caracas. La Guayra, Valen-
cia and Puerto Cabello, and the Bank
of Venezuela. The traders have agreed
to accept the banks notes in payment
of all accounts. The run on the bank
mas ceased.
Fourteen hundred Tevolutionists I'M
der Generals Ramos and Penaloza at
tackled 500 government troops under
the command of General Acosta, Sun
day morning. at a point near Guatire.
After four hours fighting the revo-
lutjonists d, ;ndOned the field and the
town of Guatire. They had ffty-seven
men killed and many wounded. One
of their guns was captured. A pris-
oner captured by the government forces
is authority for the statement that
the revolutionists still lack ammu-
milton.
The activity and energy displayed by
President Castro continues to surprise
the foreign residents of this city. 1t
Is rumored here that the leaders of the
Matos movement are treating with the
government.
The answers of the powers to Pres
ident CastTo's counter proposition in
the matter of referring the Venezuelan
issues TO The Hague tribunal have not
yet been received here.

~ ERLIN, Jan. 5.-Great Britain and
Il Germany came to an understand

- ERLIN, Jan. 5.-Great Britain and
Il Germany came to an understand
ing four days ago to enforce the
blockade of the Venezuelan coast pre-
cisely as though the negotiations for
arbitration were not going on. II was
doubtless in consequence Of this under
standing that the vessels at Porto Ca
bellO were taken though both the for
eign Office and the navy department
are yet without advices showing that
vessels were taken or marines landed.
Commodore Scheder telegraphs that
the Germans on Saturday seized a
number Of large Venezuelan sailing
vessels at Porto Cabello The prizes
were towed 20 Los Reques, where they
remain under guard. Otherwise there
have been no developments at Porto
CabellO.
The official view here is that the
5lOckading commanders acted quite in
accordance with their instructions. The
allied governments determination ap-
bears to be that, pending the signature
n the arbitration protocol the block
Ade without the limits agreed upon
shall be sharply applied. Hence. I'M
.ess the preliminaries for arbitration
are arranged Immediately, action sim
liar to that adopted at Porto Cabello
will naturally be taken at other ports.
BY making the blockade felt, it is
claimed. President CastTO's decision
will probably be FASTENED
There is also an impression that
President Castro ought TO have a taste
Of the allies power while making up
his mind as a completely eVentless
blockade would make the allies rather
ridiculous in the eyes of the Venezuelan
people and of the rest OF the world It
is pointed out by naval officers that
state Of war exists, and that, there
fore. acts Of war ought to follow as
readily as the circumstances warrant
until the peace preliminaries are
signed
The German cruiser Sperber sailed
today from Kiei for Venezuela.
Commodore Scheder in his dispatch
made no mention Of the seizure of the
custom house al Puerto Cabello. The
captured vessels being private prop
erty, the VOssiscne Zeitung condemns
the action of the commodore as bar
baTOus. although legal under inter
national maritime practice; says it
suppOses the German government dis
approves of the seizures. and quotes
Chancellor Won BueIOws statements,
made in his speech in the reichstag
Jan. 10. 1900. when he said:
The German empire would not re-
fuse its consent and support if a
prospect presented itself for a more
precise definition through international
agreement of the controverted points
OF maritime law than has hitherto
prevailed"
The chancellOr's declaration referred
also to private property rights during
naval war. and he added:
Maritime law is still very elastic
and under the existing circumstances
might too often decide rights at sea.
In other words. the standpoint of force
has not yet been Overmastered by the
standpoint of Justice

President Said Be Confident That Enough Senators Fave Been
~ Whipped Into Line to insure Success of
the Pending Measure.

days he has resolved assurances from
some of those senators who last sprirg
opposed the Cuban legislation that they
would support the treaty It is under
stood also that many of the beet sugar
men have withdrawn their opposition
to ratification of the treaty. It is
pointed out that there is no likelihood
that, in the event II the extension to
Cuba of tariff concessions, Germany,
France or other European nations viii
ask for similar advantages under the
favored nation clause. They might re
quest that similar concessions be
granted to them, it is said but they
could not ask FOR or demand them as
a matter of right. Their request would
be a subject for consideration and ne
gotiation. Reciprocity treaties may be
made between any two nations without
reference TO those favored nations
clauses. Any tariff arrangement made
between the United States and Cuba,
therefore, if concluded in the form of a
treaty. could not be regarded by any
other nation as the basis of a demand
upon this country that it be afforded
advantages equal to those granted 10
the Cuban republic.

PREPARATION.

Reparation.
New York. Jan. SIT was an
nounced today that a protest has been
sent to Secretary Hay complaining OF
the treatment accorded 10 the Red D
line steamer Caracas by the blockading
powers at La Guayra. The Caracas
arrived here today and owners of the
cargo which was not discharged at La
Guayra declared that they would seek
to obtain indemnity through the Unit
ed States government. 1t is said that
the contention of the steamship line
and the shippers of the cargo is that
the Caracas had cleared from this port
before the blockade had been declared,
and should have been allowed to land
her cargo at La. Guayra.
Mr.. Bliss. one Of the heads of the Red
d line, said today that he wrote Sec
rotary Hay a week ago on receipt of a
.sablegram from the firms agent at
La Guayra, concerning the treatment
of The Caracas at that port. He re-
quested an inquiry into the matter.
Mr.. Bliss expresses confidence that the
secretary would see that the company
received whatever redress might be
due it under international law.
