SAN CARLOS AGAIN
BOMBARDED
Commandant of Fort Says
Germans Fired Without
Proyocation.

MARACAIBO, Jan. 22.-The bonn
bardmen of Fort San Carlos by the
German cruisers Vineta, Panther and
Fake was continued yesterday after
noon until 6 o'clock. 1t was resumed
this morning at daybreak. The first
shells were hurled at the fort at A
O'Clock at long range. At 6 o'clock the
Panther, being of light draught, clos
ed IN and again became actively en-
gagged. The fort replied. AT s o'clock
the engagement was proceeding as
hercely as yesterday.
Twelve dead and fifteen seriously
Venezuelan soldiers were
counted in the fort last night. The
Vineta and the Fake, at a range Of
four and a half miles, poured in a
rain of shell upon the fort
last evening and only stopped firing
with the advent of dusk at 6 o'clock.
Inc German vessels retired seward
AFTER having made a second Intellectual
attempt to land troops in the village of
San Carlos, situated at the base of
the fort. The walls of the fort are
terribly battered and there were many
evidences of the fierce engagement.
Fort and Village Suffer Severely.
The fort is literally covered with
pieces of broken shells. A great many
OF the German shells did not explode.
II is estimated by the commandant,
Gen. Bello, that the German ships fir
ed more than 1900 shells at Fort San
Carlos.
The village of Fort San Carlos suf
Tered severely. A great portion of the
fire of the war vessels fell short, 60
per cent of their shells exploded in the
village before reaching the fort. The
forts guns were of not sufficient range
to reach the Fake and the Vineta, and
the fire of those vessels was not re-
turned, as they kept out Of range of
the fort. The commander of the fort
will resist as long as it is possible for
him to do so. He sWears that on jan.
IL, the occasion of the first lombard
ment, the Panther fired upon him first
without reason or ~proVocation.
The Venezuelan .gunboat Miranda is
in Lake Maracaibo. 1t was doubtless
the-intention of the Panther, in trying
to pass the fort, to get into the lake to
capture this vessel. The passage over
the bar that leads into the Ike is
narrow and the fort commands it. Gen.
Bello is confident that he can sink the.
Panther if she attempts to get by with
the fire of his guns.

Washington Much Put Out.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 22.-The,
continued bombardment of Fort San
Carlos by the Germans seems quite in
comprehensive to the officials of the
administration in Washington. They
are casting about for a motive for this
hostile action, but declare themselves
unable TO find one unless it be a simple
desire on the part of the Germans to
make a show of force and recover
h little prestige may have been lost
in the retreat of the ship Panther
when she was compelled to retire after
Smelling the same fort several days age.
The bombardment has caused a decid-

Be Enormous.
Special to The Globe.

~
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Amid the Wild
est excitement that has ever been wit
messed On the Board of Trade in
months, May wheat this afternoon sold
up to 81% cents, an advance of IL
cents yer the close yesterday. The
price is the highest reached to date In
the present bull campaign, and it was
reached with trades, large and small,
wrought to the highest pitch of excite
ment.
j. Ogden Ar1nour's manipulation of
the option is responsible for the steady
advance n there are some who al
ready see the 90-cent figure looming
up if the present pace is maintained.
Armour today holds the whole situa-
ton of the country in his grasp. With
the purchase today of 1000, 900 bushels
of the May option he completed a line
of 10000, 900 bushels which practically
gives him control and places all traders
in the option at his mercy. This wheat
is bought in Chicago, New York and
throughout the markets of the North.

load his holdings now, would be $780,

his profit will be from 5000, 600 to
$4,000, 600.

Teller was. the only logical candidate
and that the only thing for the party
to do was to elect him senator. SEN

VICTIM OF A BUNco GAME
SEEKS LEGISLATIVE RELIEF
Astonishing Petition Sent to Massa-

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 22.-One of the
most unique petitions ever laid before
the Massachusetts legislature has been
introduced in the house by Daniel
Leonard, of Agawan, who asks tina the
county of Hampden reimburse him for
the loss of $4,000 which he claimed he
lost through. bunco game to Frank L.
Smith. Leonard claims that after
Smith obtained the money from him,
on April II, 1900, he reported the facts
ly arrested, indicted and bailed for
$1,000. Smith then jumped his bail,
and the money was paid into the
Fampden county treasury. A part of
the sum, Leonard believes, should be
paid back to him for his efforts in OBJ
taining the arrest of Smith.

The Star. which is one of the small
est and slowest of the bunch of tugs
caught fishing, was at least nine miles
over the line. She gave the Petrol a
three-mile chase before the latter got
her graphing chains over her side.
The Lamb was the first one chased,
but she succeeded in getting away.
The entire crew of the Star were

came very near being an international
